The Engineering and Mining Jonmnl
Is ono of the host known and wealthiest
rcientifio publications in the world. Its
weekly edition is forty pages, 10x14, and
Its monthly edition, "for export," is
mnch larger. Tho weekly edition circu
lates in the United States, but tho
monthly is printed for circulation abroad,
among scientific people nnd persons in
terestcd in engineering nnd mining bub-
iects. There is hardly a city on earth,
whatover tho language spoken in it pay
be, whero it has not subscribers.
To protoct the domestic subscribers to
Its weekly edition from overcharges, tho
Journal obtains special prices for them
ana turns their orders oyer to tho agents
of tho manufacturing flrnis. To proteot
tho foreign subscribers to Its monthly
edition from the overcharges of unseru.
pnlous middlemen, who call themselves
export agents, it receives and turns over
their orders to the authorized agents here
In Kow York of American manufacturers
irko sell for expert, wbenover a foreign
subscriber is charged more than tho
market or quotod prico.
It devotes from twelvo to twenty of the
broad pages of its export edition to an.
nouuecmcnts of tho goods of tho American
manufacturers and tho prices at which tho
agents sell their goods hero in Now York
" for export only, " Tho advertisements
In its "prices current" are not paid for by
tbo manufacturers. The legular adver
tisements of the manufacturers appear in
its regular advertising pages. This
"prices current" is a special servico to
the foreign subscriber or reader, telling
him tho exact New York retail export
prico, so that bo need not bo swindled by
any falno statement of tho ngont ho may

As evcfyTssuo of fncniTthTi letter was
on its face an absoluto and unqualified
iaiFeuooa, nna wouiu bo jtnown to bo
such by cvory reader of The Wop.ld, its
publication was declined entirely in the
interests of S. L. Allen .t Co. It was
pointed out to that foolisn llrm that The
wortLi) had mado no tntement or stale.
nients whatover concerning their goods
or implements; that Tun Woimn's only
statement with which they were con
cerned wa3 that this was n nhotocronh of
a foreign advertisement ot their goods,
and that what H. Ij. Allen A Co. contia.
dieted m their leltor worn tbo statements
not of Tun Wor.r-D but of ihemf elves in
their own ndvcitjsement, or of r-ome ono
authorized by them to advertise their
goods for salo abroad nt these pricoi.
lur. Aoi;i,r added that it wonld publish
ttith nleasuro a nroner letter from them
denying that tLe udvcrtl6emcut was an.
thorizod by them, or that they filled
orders in aecordanco with it, or that it
represented tho prices paid for their ini.
plemcnts by forolgn buyers.
a. ij. Alien & uo. reiuseu to write sucn
a letter or mako such n denial. Thet
dahed not. They know, or had reason
to know, that Tnn AVonnn held their re
ceiptcd bills, signed by tho firm, in
which they had sold, at ncTAin, to for
cign biibscrlbf rs, at tho exact net figures
mimed lu their foreign advertisement.
Not ono word of this would havo np
neared in Tm: Wor.r.n but fur tho fact
that S. L. Allen fc Co. havo printod their
misrepresentations concerning T :e
yVoBLD in trado paper.!, nnd Republican
editors havo given them wido circulation
in party newspapers whoso leaders do
not know that all Tnn Woni.n has douo ij
to photograph and reprint from thn pho.

They are tho market prices nt which tho

This disposes of tho misrepresentation
that tho prices riuoted for tho foreign
differ in kind on the slightest from thoso
quoted for tho American. Tho foreigner
nnd tbo farmer buy on the same footing
precisely. They bny in tlio same market
nnd from tbo same people and in tno

THEY PAY A DIFFERENT 1'ltICE.
