SCALES.
A controversy has been goinp
on for some time between two
uvai luiinuwtuiurera di scales in
which the general public is deeply
interested. Of course the con
aimer or buyer doesn't care who
makes the scales used by his merchant
or butcher, provided the
machine registers honest weight;
hut when lie finds that there is a
difference in scales, that some
give just weight while others do
not, he very naturally wants to
know the cause of such differ
ence.
Any perse who has ever had
any experience at all in such
matters knows that scales may
now and then, through lack ol
attention and proper regulation,
get out of fix and fail to weigh
accurately, just as a watch or
clock may occasionally tail to
Keep uuireci nine. 1 no people
know that sueli-irregiilarities are
liable to happen, and when they
do occur they occasion no surprise
and no one is suspected ol intentional
deception. Hut when a
manufacturer ol sca'os deliber-l
ately and boldly proclaims i
effect that hi.s weighing device
are so constructed that they pi v. j
the seller an advantage over the
buyer it is high time for consumers
and the public generally
to sit up and take notice.
It is no wonder, therefore, thai j
great, interest vv is manifested
throughout the c uintry when it
became known some time ag >
that a certain scale maker was
muling out she following eircn I
lar to dealers:
Can yon do tais on your scale?
Buy 20 pounds of pork loins at
It cents per pound, retail litem]
fo your trade ai the same price,
and get your money hack? We
can on our scale and make you
u percent profit besides. If your
easiness amouuis to $10 a day
.111 sales, we can earn you 301
cents in fractions you don't get j
now. Thirty cents a day mean> *
you ! uy this scale every 180 day?. i
How long have you been in bus <
mcs ? Ilow many have you i
bought in that time? 'Ihink of i? 1
?one scale lost every six months 1
Let our man i>r vo litis. If eiveali
uiie butcher the odd tractions to (
whicu he is justly entitled. This (
le.tturo alone, in the average tmeat
and produce market, willjl
not only save the coat of scale It
i
in h short time, but in a large
ma:kit will save clerks' hire,
which saving on the old pound
and ounce scales, is entirely
lost.
A rival in the business, upon
the appearance of the foregoing
circular, lost no time in using it
to the disadvantage of the con
cern which boasted of making a
scale which yielded a profit of
three per cent to the seller, even
when selling at cost. The mat
ter finally got inco the United
States court, where a decision
was rendered against the maker
of t he scales especially designed
to discriminate against the buyer, i
A practical test of the scale was
made during the trial of the case,
of which the judge who render I
ed the decision said :
A demonstration of the operalion
of the scale before us at the
hearing confirms the belief thai
by its use the purchaser never
gains, out the seller generally,
possibly not always, and that
this gain would be as much as or
more than o per cent, apparent
ly considerably more.
The thanks of the public are
centainly due the manufacturer
who so effectively gave publicity
to the extraordinary, one-sided
features of his competitor's
weighing machine.
THE TILLMAN-LYON INCIDENT.
T .. i. i ? i _ \ r
in h spcecn in v^uiumoia ivion
day night Senator Tillman made
a sensational attack on Mr. Lyon,
one of the candidates for attorney
genera!, charging him with being
a malicious slanderer and liar.?
The attack was provoked, the
Senator said, by the failure of
Mr. Lyon to acknowledge by per
sonal let?er or otherwise that he
had done him a gross injustice
when a few months ago lie gave
publicity to a rumor that, the
Senator had been given a piano
by a whiskey house, the rumor
having been promptly shown to
be false.
The daily papers of Wedne day
contain a statement from Mr
Lyon in which he admits that the
> ispensary investigating committee,
ot which he is a member,
failed to secure evidence to sub
stantiate the rumor as to the
piano. In his card Mr. Lyon

"About I lie piano incident.
The committee employed a do

writing reported to the commit

Company had given to Governor
i'lllman a p alio I> was the duly
01 the committee, as 1 saw it, to
i.quire into such a report. Mr.
Ila.yt-g was seen and tailed to
confirm the report submitted
to the committee. After Inquiry
by committee tailing to secure
any creditable evidence, the
piano incident was dropped and
forgotten, especially as Mr. M.
A. Malone had previously fully
explained the purchase of a
piano in 1891. It was never
ciiarged or stated by me that
Governor Tillman bad gotten a
piano from a whiskey bouse,
but there was a rumor to the
Biiect, anil that there was a rumor
to that ellect * lie oflicial re j

was over said about Ihe piano.

The proper thing, in our view,
for Mr. Lyon to have done, when ,

made public acknowldgement of
