Ksthcr then th. that, many Manufacturers of Faint will make eonic *hift to get along with the Mills aivl Mixer* they happen to have in their factories, even if not entirely satisfactory. This is a very doubtful policy. You may be eubject to a toes that ia not apparent nntil you come t<> look for it, or have your attention especially called to it. It is also a very general lolicy. As general a the element of careleseneu* itaelf. and equally as expensive. It will pay you therefore to huy your Paint Machinery right the first time. W hen you desire to replace or add Mill or Miser, get the lieel, even if it ie different from tho-u- you have seed. Even if it coals a little more. It it wane* lees, Mites more.sod dons more and better work, and last* longer, you can afford to pay a fsw dollars mure and still be the gainer id every way. Dont be governed by the price alone. Taken by itself, that is a)>out the jiooreet recommendation a machine can bate. Pont pay more than a good machine is worth. Tbn tusker* of the beet grade of machinery will not expect you to do that, but dont buy any machine just because yon tbink it is chsap. The price, in dollar*, is no proof that it is really cheap. Modern construction, capacity, durability, convenience, improvements. An these figure to the price of a Faint Machine and deter mine whether or not it is really cheap If you are interested in Paint Mills or Mixers it will pay yon to examine our catalogue, especially with regent to our new Iron Frame Lead and Color Mills. Mailed free on request. We are shipping a gn-at many of then, this season. Selling them to firms who discriminate nicely between thoroughly satisfactory mttchine. and one that is merely low in price.

New Ideas In tbe Iid, Henry Fenelon, the entertaining correspondent ol the London Plumber ud Deoontor, bu been twinging around the circle in a tonr of British provincial town*, ud write# m follows regarding bit axpsrisnoeu: One or two item* of iatand, however, I gained in my journeys. One is tbe notnw eels of a water paint known Mayreaoa" Frankly, though coaversut with nearly alt tbe waabeble distempers on tbe market, I bare nerer bad ear thing to do with this one. That it ie appreciated io thetrade there ie no doubt, one proriocial egent'e turnorsr each quar ter being aimply enormous. These paints aeetn to grow in popularity each year, whether owing to their esoeUuee or the efforts of tbe rations architects I know .not That they are aanitaiy`1 do know; that they will in domestic deoora tion erer ouet wail paper I very much doubt True, they offer u bin scops for tbe pencils of the deoorators, but, ea I bare'oo often pointed out, the oustomen are sot sufficiently educated--tbe majority of them I meu--to appreciate da mnation. Efforts hare beau made by tbe various technical aobools to foater this alias of work, hot tbe results hare been wry disappointing. Another item of interact ia tbe wonderfully increased popularity of mrioue relief papers, such as ligsomur, Liserasta Walton, Tyneeaetieud Anaglypta especially tbs latter--n prominent paperhangings merohaat assuring me that notwithstanding tbe exceptionally bad year juet passed, tbs sslea of Anaglypta haw been greater then since be started, end he had ererr hope that they would still further inarease during 1906. The nee of water paint and one of tbs relief papers, I am bud, enabls u employer to do a job rapidly and economically, and snob work eu begotorsrnta tar less coat tbu that done with tbe pencil. Ewrytkingnow being contract work baa to be tabu it a rery low Inn. A third item is the astonishing number of paperbansinge trimming-machines, for go where 1 will ana of ibeee olevsr labor-saving appliancu is in evidence. I bare beard it stated they ere ueelees for bury relief goods, but this is en tirely a mistake, as they will as olsanly ud sharply trim that das* of material, yes, and as easily ud readily, us summon paper at threepence per dosea yard*. Thus we bew mater ials ud machine* which rednee tbe coetof job# considerably. A fourth item ia tbe paint-spraying machine, which eke economises labor, whether need with oil paint or distemper. Now many of tbe older hands will doubt tbe effioecy of tbe letter machine, and, of course, say no work can equal that of tbe hand. Undoubtedly, but for rough week, suck as iron girders or the limewasfaiffg ud distempering no frequently wanted in warehouses ud stores, this machine is equal to the labor of e doacn men; and for u employer to estimate for labor and material against another using this macbias for printing work' ud a machine for trimming, moat meu that it would be utterly useless for him to compete. He might as well save himself tbs trouble of writing out bin rsbmate. It perhaps might be as well it tbe teebaioal schools took these matters in bud, ud instead of "an" or uaeleee leaeons in stenciling ud deooration, ginthe boys a thorough kcowledge of bow to hang relief, how to trim with machine sixty pieces per hour (for this Is easily done), and how to manipulate the paint-spraying machine.

M. L. Barrett & Co l Chioiaa, HI. PAINTS nr THE HARDWARE STOKE. If s hardware dealer were only to set hinirelf down to con sider seriously the ever-occurring question of Imw to sell paints successfully, he would be astonished to find how easily the prob lem can be solved, Many merchant* seem to look "upon their paint department as something totally different from their other hardware lines, and to ignore the fact that the policy pursued in pushing oalea in one direction would be equally successful in Hie other. Why there should be ativ jicrplcxity aa regard* the push ing of paints we cannot understand. In fact, at the outset the paint department is much more advantageously placed than, say, the builder's hardware, or any other branch. because the merchant is eo thoroughly lielpcd by Hie manufacturer. Ihtn not only supply himself with any amount >f attractive adver tising matter, artistic hangers, colored plate*. and so on, hut most paint houses go to the extent of publishing hint* a* 10 how the dealer can beat work out a selling campaign, and are ready to back him up with the advice born of Jong experience and knowl edge. The manufacturer does his <!<arc, and more than his share, in helping the dealer. The paint department, tliereforc, siaris ou! with this great advantage. Now, if the dealer only follows out the progressive policy we presume he pursues in his other departments, the aching of paint should be easy. Many merchant* stock tlwopaints in a. back portion of the" store, probably in a place vvlwc there ia little light Doe* he place his builders hardware then No, Then why the points? In the old days of oil and lead there might he some reason for that: there is none now, when ready mixed paints are put up in such clean ami attractive form. Place the paint department., then, where attention i* easily directed, and where the hangers and show cards get the greatest benefit of the light, eo that n eti>lonu-r. in entering tlxstore, may see the colored plates of artistic hou*e painting and be struck with a desire to have his own house look ns well. . Then the paint department should he given a fair share of window space. Many merchants seem to think that jwints do not lend themselves to display. Nothing is further from the case.' With the various colored lalxd*. tins, sets in pyramidica) form or in any other design look extremely well, and with the help of hangers of beautifully painted houses, the passer-by i* probably more quickly attracted than by any other form" of window display.. There is color to the window, and color attract*. I'aiut displays should la- run frequently, nut once u year, and o*|.vi.'dly (luring the spring and fall month*. Tlie dealer should make himself Strong on nil tlton* talking points ho can secure from the printed matter of the manufacturer*, and from their salesmen. Follow up the property owner* in tin* district, not mlv personally, but send to tin* manufacturer, who will follow them up as well. Tims the merchant gels the hcnclit of strong ro-ojM-ration.

GLD3236? 51A THE CENSUS OF THE PAINT INDUSTRY In the earl; days of the American Colonies very little paint was used, their log cabins sad rough mode of life requiring little in the wav of decoration or ornament. Linseed oil was first manufactured in New York in 1715. The increased production of this stimulated the use of paints. The colors, however, were all imported. . In New England the prejudice against the use of paints as an evidence of worldlinens and vanity was very strong. In 1630 a clergyman in Charles town, Mass., was brought before the Council for haring the in terior furnishings of his house painted, and for forty years later there was not a single painter in Massachusetts. Nevertheless, by 1795 the use of paint had become general throughout the country, the white house and green blinds for many years being the common form of outside minting in all parts of the United States. The first successful attempt to make white lead in this coun try was by Samuel Wcthcrill k Son in Philadelphia in I804. writes John J. Maefarlane in Commercial America. An emissary from England burned their factory, hut it was erected again in 1808. This firm is still in existence and carries on the manufac ture of white lead and other chemicals in Philadelphia today. The manufacture of the oxides of lead began about the same time. Anthony Ticmann regularly started the manufacture of colors in 1807. Christopher Shraek began business as manufacturer of iin Philadelphia in 1810 and also manufactured copal varnish on a small scale. The first varnish manufactured in the United States on a large scale was bv 1*. B. Smith, of New York. In 1R50 the paint industry in this country received an im petus from the discovery of zinc deposits in New Jersey, giving a cheap supply of ore from which zinc oxide could be easily re duced. This is largely used as a substitute for white lead's* a body for paints. Owing to the fact that the demand for |ami( in the United States had outgrown the capavitv of the house painter to work up hi* colors with slab and mullcr to the paste form, machine ground lead and ..dors in oil ramc into use. AImiu I 1860 tin: ready made mixed paints were first manufactured and since that time this industry has grown no enormously that it is claimed that in 1907 the output was 100 million gallons, valued at 150 million dollars. lead, and 2,92 * Ions of orange mineral. In the same year 77,800 tons of zinc oxide, valued at six million dollars, were manufac tured. The total value of the paints alone manufactured in the United States, according to the United States census of 1905, was $67,277,910. distributed aiming the. different states as fol lows, in millions of dollars: New York, 18.7-; Pennsylvania, 9.-1; Illinois. 9.-1; Ohio, 6.6; Missouri, 6.1; New Jersey, 3.5; Michigan, 2.8; California, 2.2; Massachusetts, 2.1; Wiscon sin. 1.0. The total value of the varnish manufactured in the United Stales was $23,561,09!), distributed in the different states as fol lows. values given in millions of dollars: New York, 6.3; Illi nois. 3.8; New Jersey, 3.4; Michigan, 3.1; Pennsylvania, 2.2, and Ohio, 1.9. The above chart gives the combined value of paint and varnish hv cities for the census year. Six slates. New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio, Missouri and New Jersey, produce 80 per cent, of all tin- paint manufac tured in. the United States, ami the same states, with the excep tion that Michigan takes the place of Missouri, manufacture nearly 90 per cent, of the varnish.

Tbe evidenoe at the trial was to tbe effect that Olyatt secured io Georgia several negroes and ooming to Florida brought about their arrests.

Tbe police, aimed with warrants, ate looking for the orasedere( ?). The notion of the Obioago women-is illogical to the extent of not even approaching a cheap imitation of "the real thing." The Kansas "joiutist" is to all intents and purposes an outlaw who Aanuot claim the protection of the law which he violates. The-Obicago drug gist is a reputable, law-abiding merchant; a useful--indeed, an indispensable--rnsmber of the community, whose business is as legitimate and respeotable aa that of the grocer, the tailor or the banker. When fanatical women .undertake there fore to place the Chisago druggist upon tho name level with the Kansu 'bootlegger' they make themselves ridiculous and tovite criminal and civil proceedings without winning any public sympathy.

Niooll of Baltimore, lid., claims to have dis covered a process for dissolving glass and to have recovered one of the lost arts of enameling possessed by the ancient Egyptians. By means of a ohemica! solution Nieolt has suoooeded in rendering glass soluble and has converted it into a liquid form which can be applied to articles and surfaces with a brush like paint or any other pigment Niooll exhibits a large white bathtub at his bouse which be had painted with the liquid glass. The tub glistened like crystal and bad a snrfsoe as smooth and as hard as a window pane. Niooll hows a gill of liquid solution in a pint flask which be says represents a quantity of glass equal to that in the bottle. The eolation he applied to a sheet of paper and it hardened almost immediately, revealing a hard ana brilliant torfaee. A contrivance which incorporates both torch and scraper has been invented by a foreigner, Joseph H. Storm, Amersfoort, Netherlands. The scraper is a part of the torch so that pro cesses are accomplished immediately and with but one band. The complete spwification reads a follows: 1. An apparatus for removing paint from surfaces, compris ing a ventilated casing, having a front wall which protects the surface to be scraped from the flame, a suitable handle at the bank of the casing, a scraping tool Attached to the casing and projecting forward, a fluid burner located within the casing, a fluid supply tank outside the casing, and a flexible tube con necting tbe tank and burner. - 2. An apparatus for removing paint, comprising a ventilated casing having a closed inclined front wall, a handle, an adjust able scraper, a holder for the scraper consisting of parallel guid ing plates, a screw to hold the scraper in position, a fluid burner within the casing, a fluid container ontaido the casing and a flexible tube leading from the container to the burner. Application for a patent upon a device to measure the flow of oil or of aoy other liquid passing through a faucet from a tank or other receptacle has been made by Chauncey R.'

Nn-Polsonu >Vlilte Paint >r Varnish, A trans-Atlantic exchange descriWs a white paint or varnish, claimed to be non-poisonoua and permanent in color. It baa been recently introduced and patented by Leonard Hunt, of Manchester, Eog. The baae of this paint or varuiah consists of 75 parte of aulphate of barinm and 25 parte of sulphite of rise, inti mately mixed together by precipitation. To make (his baae or mixture into a permanent white paint it is first mixed with linseed oil and by mechanical tueane worked into a paste, to which is.then added more oil. turpentine and terehene to form the consistency of a thick cream, the proportion! of the oil, turpentine and terebene varying with the use of the pt.int, or effect desired in the ordinary manner. In using the base for a permanent white varnish it ia made, in like manner to the paint, into a paste with linseed oil, and by adding mixed pale copal Tarnishes, reduced to a creamy or like consistency, the proportions of the oil and copal varnishes being according to the effect desired. The improved paint or VArninb, besides being non-poisonons, is said to be indfsttuctible by heat and unaffected by sulphuretted hydrogen, wheress the ordinary white-iead paint at present in use is decomposed by heat, and soon turns brown in an atmosphere containing the slightest trace of sulphuretted hydrogen. Water Paints.--A British paint journal observes that there appears to have been of late a large number of new water paints produced--that is, paints which are supplied in a dry powder or thick paste, which are ready for use on the addition of water. They are made in a large variety of colors and when applied to the surface of plaster or other material are warranted not to rnb off. This class of paints ie certainly more useful and convenient, but it is a little difficult to un derstand why so many of them should have been brought out within a limited period of time. Possibly it ie to be attrib uted to competition. Tbe strange thing about the production of these specialties ia that the use of them in this country must always be to a great extent limited. For finishing or dinary ceilings they wili probably never be univereally adopted because ot tbe expense, but for finishing the walls of schoolrooms, temporary churches and such-like buildings, for sculleries, dairies, etc., they will be always welcome. The surprising thing is that the manufacturers uo not take steps io push them more than they do in foreign countries In South America and the West Indies, for example, water paiuts are used very extensively, aud, considering the Quality and variety of colors of those now produced, they would be likely to succeed very well indeed. Of course, some of the larger manufacturing firms already ship considerable quantities of these goods abroad. Oar point now is that firms who have brought out water paints recently for the first time c m never hope to succeed very welt if they limit, as they appear to be doing, tbeir efforts to obtain purchasers io the home market 56A GLD32372 To turn out a superior rapidly drying varnish, mix pow dered resin with a thick milk of lime, set aside for 24 boon, thin put ower a yatttbilb, evaporate to dryness, and powder.

A Fire Proof Paint. Twenty parts of finely pulverised glass, twenty parts of any sort of atone in powder, ton parte of calcined lime, and thirty parts of water-glass (silicate of soda), such as is usually found in commerce. The solid elements having been powdered as finely as possible and sifted, are moistened and then intimately mixed with the water-glass. This yields a mass of syrupy cousietcnce that may be employed for paint ing, either alone or mixed with color. The addition of the lime gives a certain unctnoaity to the mass for whitewashing, and its combination with the silicic acid of the soluble glass serves to hind the other materials together. Tbs proportion of the different elements above mentioned may be changed save that of the water glass, which most remain constant. Thtise elements may even be replaced one by another; but it is always well to preserve the lime. Instead of the silicate of soda (soluble glass of soda), soluble glass of potash might be used; but the former is lees expensive. The coating is ap plied with a brush, as other paints are, as uniformly as possi ble over the surface to be protected. Tbe first coat hardens imraediately, and a second one may be applied six hours or more afterwards. Two coats are sufficient This paint may like wise be employed as a preservative against rust Varnish Paint on Steel.--Prof. Sabin, in an article in tbe Progressive Age, reports the result of experiments in the use of paints in the preservation of ateel. A test of tbe rel. alive values of ordinary oil paints and of the so-called varnish or enamel paints showed conclusively tbe marked superiority of tbe latter. About 300 plates of sheet steel were carefully cleaned free from all rust and scale, sod were then covered with three coate of tbe paints or enamels to be tested. Ooe-third of tbe plates were sunk for two years in a fresh-water lake near Boston, another third were suspended from a float in sea water at New York navy yard for a simitar tim>, and tbe remaiuder in sea water at Norfolk navy yard, Virginia. As stated, tbe enamel paints proved much !>sttor than tbeir competitors, and this superiority was particularly matked in tbe case of enamels which had been subjected to baking process. Some of them were absolutely unaffected by tbeir long immersion. Tbe character of tbe pigment mixed witli tbe paint appeared to iofloence tbe resnlt but little, tbe one exception being tbe red lead, wbicb proved muob the best of the oil paiota.

An Innovation In Knnrncl Varuisli.--A new ename varnish invented by Panchevre, is said to produce a brilliant snrface on metals and be extremely durable, resisting the effect of blows without scaling or chipping off, and betog therefore highly suitable for cycles and any other articles ex. posed to shock. For the manufacture of 44 gallons, 11 ponnda of red copper, 8.8 pounds of yellow copper, 4.4 pounds of hard steel, and 4.4 pounds of soft steel, all in a comminuted, condition, are well washed in petroleum ox mineral spirit, and are then treated with concentrated sul phuric acid iu a lead-lined vessel, with continued stirring for two hours. After twelve hours' rest the sulphuric acid is neutralized with Javel extract, and the fine powder left in the .vessel is passed through a silk sieve to remove any fragments of metal, then ground along with linseed oil, ivory black, and petroleum, tbe finely divided mass being afterwards filtered through flannel and incorporated with a mixture of: Bombay gum, 22 pounds; Damascus gum. 11 pounds; Judea bitumen, 2`2 pounds; Norwegian tar resin, 11 pounds; and 11 pounds of ivory black ground very fine in refined petroleum. When perfectly homogeneous the mass is again filtered, ami is then ready for use. It is laid on with a brush, sud then fixed by exposure to s temperature of between 200 and 400 C. The ivory black may be replaced by other coloring matters, according to requirements. Illinois Paint Manufacturing Co. SOS .SIS S. Homan Ave..

Walker shows in an article in La Folette's magazine, how the postofficc is run at a loss, because the express and railroad companies want bigger profits. We print a part of the article which touches the most vital points, believing it w.itl interest our readers: The United States postoffice last year did business at a loss ol about $17,500,000. The Wells-Fargo Express Company last year di vided profits of $24,800,000 among its stockholders. In 1906 the postal deficit in the United States was $10,500,000. In the same year the four, largest coun tries in Europe reported postal surpluses as follows: Great Britain ................................................$22,000,000 Germany ................................ 15.000,000 Russia ..................... ........................... 15,000,000 France ............................................................. 14.000.000 Of all the iiti|x>ftautcivilizedcountries in the world, the United States is the only one in which the postoffice loses money. At the same time, the Untied Slates postoffice gives less service and charges more for the service it it renders than any other postal system in any large civilized country. In fifty years, instead of making progress with other nations in our postal methods, we have steadily gone backwards. Thirty-five years ago the United States had the cheapest parcels post system in the world. Today our 'rates for sending parcels by mail are the highest in the world. We have more than 60,000 postmasters, almost all of whom are selected for their offices, not because of their knowledge of postal matters, but because of their political standing, influence or usefulness. We pay rural mail carriers starvation wages (less than a dollar a day after deducting the cost to them of keeping their rigs) and require them to equip them selves with a horse and wagon each capable of carrying half a ton of merchandise or mail. Then we forbid these carriers to deliver on their routes anything heavier than letters, newspapers and postal cards, ex cepting at exorbitant rates. A man with an empty wagon drives from town to take the farmer his weekly paper or a letter containing a notice that the railroad has a small package for him, and the farmer has to hitch up and drive to town'to get the package, to bring out a few pounds of groceries, or to deliver his butter and eggs. Most of these and other absurdities are relics of the past, of outgrown conditions. Our postal system has not grown to keep pace with our development as a nation--to meet modern conditions and needs. The reason it has not grown is mainly because the express companies, the railroad companies and the telephone and telegraph companies have not wanted it to grow. These big corporations make big contributions to cam paign funds, and our Congressmen, generally, are more interested in .the campaign funds than in the postoffice or the public welfare.

In the twly sixties, Dayton, Ohio, had at one time seven linseed oil mills and was probably making more lin seed oil than any city in the world. No doubt, the raising of flax for the fiber from which the homespun cloth was made produced a surplus of seed which started small oil mills, and the demand from these mills for seed caused the growth of the industry in the Miami Valley'. Probably the first mill was built and run by Frank Esterbrook at Dayton in the late thirties. The pressure was caused at first by driving wedges, later by hand screw presses similar to euler presses. The writer's father was employed by Mr. Esterbrook, and in good times the output was as much a* ten barrels a week. In the early forties, W. S. Archer was associated with his unde, Joseph Clegg of Parriott & Clegg, later Clegg & Wood, then Wood, Archer & Co. j. W. DANIELS, President ATCher-DanieU Linieed Co. In the early eighties, the younger Archers built a small mill at Yankton, S. D.. the center of flaxseed production at the time, then moved to Minneapolis and St. Paul, build-' ir.g large mills in the late eighties, and at present the fourth generation successively in this business is interested with tire Archer-Dauiels I.inseed Company of Minneapolis. Next to Dayton, Ohio, in number of mills'came I'i<|ua, Ohio. A" pioneer in the business is still living there---Colonel W. P. Orr, of Orr & Leonard, later Orr, Leonard & Daniels, then Leonard & Daniels. ln'J!)02, the same Mr. Daniels built a mill in Minneapolis, now the Archcr-Daniels Linseed Company. With these exceptions, the early Ohio names have disappeared from the business. ram 10010 or Txofr u s o is l a x io k . To label or not to label, that is the questiun that now con fronts the manufacturer of mixed paiuL and specialties, and it is a aerioua question. Heretofore the so-called "pure pain!" legislation bag been confined to a few states, but now that it is becoming general it makes labeling almost compulsory. Any manufacturer who does an interstate business--and who dues not?--will find a labeling law perhapg in an adjoining state, if not in his own, and he cannot stop all tlx1 routine of his factory to prepare a special line of paints for shipment into that particular state. So that it has now become almost a ease where "discretion is the belter part of valor," and it is jierliaps easier to label everything that goes out, niul thus esrajic im possible penalties Hurt may be imposed in any stale. This view is strengthened by the fact that paint laws arc now in form in North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio. California. Massachusetts and Vermont, and arc under consideration in Michigan, Wisconsin. Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Smith Carolina and Pennsylvania^ It ia evident that the paint trade lias been singled out for invidious legislation and that paint manufacturers are to Iscompelled to label their products and disclose their formulas at great expense and loss. The pretense is that such legislation ia designed to protect the householder, hut it is evident even to the uninformed or ill advised that the fact of a paint mniuffacturor having complied with such laws hr labeling liis wares docs not even Tcmotclv indicate that they will be finally used without being adulterated. Therefore, in order that the laws already enacted or those proposed sliall be made effective in protecting the innocent householder, the Pa in t . On, a s p ))m ,i Re v ie w urges that an amendment shall immediately be made to laws in effect and added to laws proposed, to the pnrjwrt that the painter using such materials shall give to the properly owner a sworn guarantee that he is using them without adulterations and that he is applying them as Ihe manufacturer* direct; that in every case where paint it prepared hv a master painter, con tractor or journeyman, an analysis of tl> paint shall be fur nished to the owner of the building and a sworn 'statement shall be made by the painler to the effect that the paint which he ap plies conforms to the analysis which he furnishes. This analysis should show the quantity and quality of all the ingredients used --the linseed oil, turpentine, dryer, lend or so-culled combina tion lead, line, inert material, colors, etc.; and a sworn state ment should be required to the effect that Hie materials were used without any manipulation or adulteration. The Pa in t , Oil a n d Dbo o Re v ie w is strenuously opposed to any trade being singled out for paternal regulation, but is like-' wise opposed to any integral part of a trade being exempted from the operation of a law.

An enormous demand for gasoline is certain to be created by the farther introduction of the gasoline automobile. That type of horseless carriage is tbe one that will be moat popolar in the falnre as well as at present, for it is the automobile of tbe middle classes, leas oostly to bar and to operate than the electric. Once in common nee it will call for all possible adaptations of gasoline and petroleum fael to meet the enormausty increased demand.

The cratelorcombination bu penetrated to every quarter. Never before was there to great activity in the formation of laboT onion* as there ia in this age of capitalistic conaolidation on the one hand and socialistic tendencies on ihe other New unions are being formed and old ones are beooming more and more aggressive, and the day when the individual working man treated direot with his employer seeme to be passing rapidly sway. It is a movement over which there seem* to be no control--a social evolntion, as it were, leading nobody knows where. And now eome the painters with a serious proposition to adopt a nnion label. They contend that the idea oonld be no more preposterous than the bread label which stieke to the aide of every nnion-made loaf, or the printer's label which appears on fine- stationery and rough poster alike, They intend to posh this plan of a nnion label for painters until It shall be universally adopted wherever local unions esn be formed, believing that it will be a great help In the farther ence of their organization. The official organ anggeata that the label be issued in stencil pattern tolocal unions and districtoonneils and amngoi on tbe same plan as the printers issue the Typographical Union Label, viz: to nnion shops, with the right reserved that if the shop proves unfair the label con be lifted, "if issued in stenoil form it can bo nacd in oil or distemper and may bo placed on the highest class of paper, wood or deoorsted valk without defaeing tbe work. It oan also be used with satisfac tion ou carriages, coaches, buggies, wagons, banners, glass signs, blackboards, and in fact on all that painters, decora tors, psperhangers or hard-wood finishers may be employed at It will take many yeara of agitation and considerable ex pense before it becomes an established fact; bat there are no better people in tbe world than tbe boys who work in paint, pafte and varnish to introduce the goods. It will be `A Brotherhood Label.'" On closer study tbe label proposition does not seem at all nnlikely to be adopted. Let the trade, then, prepare for the inevitable--for the time when the badge of reepectability in .the painter's trade shall be a stencilled symbol indicating that none bnt nnion men need apply. Mauufactare of Chemicals at Niagara. Chemists are especially interested in tbe work wbieh the enormous electric power generated at Niagara Falls has ac complished By the nee of an electrolytic process invented ty Sir Humphrey Davy, sodiom ia made in great quantities for the manufacture of aluminum, and soda is produced sd libitum at 80 cents a pound. Alcohol, which is worth, with tbs revenue tax, M a gallqn, is made for 3 cent* a gallon ont of bitumiaoos eoal at the fall* The above achievement iu tbe manufacture of sodium affects the gold output of tbe world io a special way. In the old daye many mines were unworkable because it was impos sible to free tne gold at a reasonable rate. Since the dis covery of the cyanide process all that haa been changed. Cyanide of potassium is one of the by-product* of the sodium manufacture, and at Niagara Falls is limited by uothiog but tbe demand. Not far away from the fells is the region of ealt well* and salt-making. From the common salt of that region sodium and chloric* are manufactured by electrie analysis.

Possibly the most foolish of all fool things in retailing is price cutting. One merchant comes out with a low price on some staple article and at once every other retailer in the same line goes him one better with a deeper cut. Then the war has fairly begun, and before it i* over price* have gone all to piece* and every one of the competitors has lost money *nd none of them hi* reaped any benefit from their insane rivalry. Nothing hut bitterness arises from such folly. If you hsve faith in vour goods, hold up the price and talk qualify first, last and always. - If you have no faith in them, get' a line that you ran have faith in* You owe it to the manufac turers of honest materisls to maintain prices, for a cut price is a confession that you think the goods arc not worth what you have been acting for them. Of course, n merchant can give his stock away if hs wants to, hut that is not business.
