TWO DRAWBACKS,
Unsatisfactory Weather and the
Strife between Labor and
Employers.
MANUFACTURING ACTIVE
transportation Is Also Heavy-Reil-
road Warnings Still Increasing-Good
News Predominates in Business
world-Cotton Still Leads in
tho staples.
MANUFACTURING ACTIVE

New York, April 1i.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
weekly review of trade will say to-mor-
row:
Good news predominates in the business
world notwithstanding two somewhat se-
rious drawbacks. Weather conditions have
been unsatisfactory at many points, re-
tardlng retail distribution and delaying
outdoor work, while excessive rain has put
many Southern planters behind with work
In the cotton fields. Still more of d handi-
cap is the strife between wage oarncrs
and employees. Manufacturing Is excep-
tionally active in lines not disturbed by
strikers and there is vigorous movement
OF goods through the regular channels
Transportation is heavy as shown by rail-
way earnings in March, 81 per cent larger
than last year and 14s per cent above 1900.
Although speculation has increased very
materially 1T is still far short of last year S
aggregate and bank exchanges at New
York for the week were 175 per cent less
than a year ago.
tirmness in cotton goods naturally fol-
lows the combination Of light stocks and
the interruption of work at some mills
with threatened disturbance at others, to-
gcther with the higher price of raw mate
rial. Clothing buyers are seeking to Sc
cure wooden goods to substitute for dellv-
cries retarded by the strike but lind the
market heavily overbought, and many
lines Withdrawn or advanced IN prices.
Foot wear affairs have secured IL little
more business and shops have been able to
avoid the reduced time that was feared.
Jobbers have placed orders 70 full supplies
earlier than usual which had helpful in
fuence. Leather is quiet after the recent
activity.
Liabilities of commercial failures during
the first week of April aggregated s1,2l20.3.
against 1871 73i last year and POI 81 TWO

1t is also agreed that any Disagreement mt

Pending such arbitration in reference to
the foregoing agreement. 1t is mutually
agreed there shall be no strike or lockout
or suspension of work
If either party to this agreement desires
change in It's provisions after July l. 1905
notice will be given in writing specifying
the changes desired at least three months
previous TO that date, and if no notice Is
thus given this agreement shall hold good
for another year, and from year to year
thereafter.
NO FIRST CONSTABLE.
Barre, April 11.--At a special meeting of
the city council held this evening it was
voted five to two. that the office of first
constable, to which w. II. Bucannan was
elected at the recent March meeting, be de-
clared vacant, Mr.. Buchanan having failed
to furnish a sufficient and satisfactory
bond within tho ten days required in the
city charter.
Mr.. Bucannan has held the Office for
many years, and he was reelected by q
large majority.

that public policy demands that this arti.
Gle be sold for just precisely what It Is
| sent for the statutes of Canada, and
find that they provide that food shall be
deemed to be adulterated within the mean
Ing OF this act If any substance has been
mixed with 1t, SO as to reduce or lower or
iniuriously affect its quality or strength: -
again, "if any inferior or cheaper sub.
stance has been substituted, wholly or in
part, for the article" again, If 1t is an
imitation of or is sold under the name of
another article
The result of that statute, we are in
formed by Governor Hoard in his argu-
ment. Is this.
Compare the policy pursued by the
United States with that of Canada. The
Dominion government guards the pur-
ity and honesty of her dairy products
to the extent of absolute prohibition
of any adulteration of counterfeiting
of the same. AS a result her export
OF cheese to England alone has grown
in twenty years from 100000 to so 0Oo, =
100, while ours has declined nearly the
same amount because we did not place
the strong hand of the law on the adult
terated product-hlled cheese-until we
had lost the confidence of the foreign
consumer.
The Dominion of Canada has taken
from us nearly all of our once mag
Canada absolutely prohibits the MAX
ing of counterfeit butter or cheese.
1t seems to me, in view of all the facts
that have been produced in this discus
sion, a manifest duty is laid upon us to
take away the temptation for fraud whic h
exists under present conditions. I believe
we can best do this by placing upon tn
medium of that fraud a burden too great
to be profitably borne. The bill report d
by the committee is equitable In all its
features. While 1t imposes a heavy rate
OF taxation upon oleomargarine colored In
imitation of butter IL also reduces the tax
alton upon oleomargarine offered for sale
in Its natural color thus affording the
purchaser of that article an opportunity
to secure the same at a price ia cents per
pound less than he otherwise could do.
BY the adoption Of this measure we protect
the Manufacturer of oleomargarine in all
of his rights: we protect "A time-honored
industry in its rights: added to this, we
protect the great army of consumers. who,
without such legislation, are defens less.
Mr. President, we represent here to-day
% States. Thirty-two of them have adopted
laws which prohibit the sale of oleorar-
garine within their borders when colored
in imitation of butter. The legislatures
Of these States represent 50 per cent of
the people of the United States. 1t has
been impossible for the State authorti s
to enforce their statutes owing to the de-
termined purpose of many of the manu-
facturers OF olcomargarne to impose their
goods upon the public In the garb of and
as butter. The States are In a helpless
condition. They appeal to this body to
so adjust its system of taxation that Incl
dcntaily protection may BE- given to the
great army of dairymen in the Unite d
States against a fraud upon their indus
try, and the still greater army Of consum-
ers of dairy products. Shall we not re-
spond by the adoption of this measure?
