THE COIMEBS PROTEST.
AROUSED BY A THREATENED
INCREASE OP PRICES,
BUTGHERS TO HOLD A MEETING
Thoy Claim Wholosalo Prices of
Moats Aro High and Ico Bills
Aro Increasing Grounda
of tho ProtoBt.
T 13 Mated that to-night
tho butchers and meat
dealers of tho town will
meet for tho purposo of
raising tho schedulo of
prices. Just what they
proposo doing is not
known, as tho meeting
has boon called secretly and no information
has been given for publication. Sovorul con
sumcra who heard of tho intended moetlng
said to-day that tho butchers aro selecting a
very poor time in which to raiso prices and
thoy had better go slow, lest the trade they
may drivo from them may more than counter
balanco tho increased rates. Tho suspension
of threo largo collieries in this district has
thrown nearly two thousand men and boys
idlo and tho officials give no hopes for an
oarly resumption. Two thousand idlo hands
in a population of 17.000 or 18,000 forms a
poor basis for an increaso on commodities in
any lino of business and it must also bo re
membered that people can do with much less
meat in tho summer than thoy can In tho
winter. It may bo true that the wholosalo
prices of meats aro high and tho approach of
the summer season Increases tho ico bilTs of
tho retail dealers, and that therefore tho pro'
fits of tho latter are very small. Tho g'ounds
for an increaso may bo very good, but a point
arises as to policy. In view of tho present
depressed condition of affairs will tho
butchers bo content with largo sales and
fair profits, or hold out for small, i
sales, and very little, if any profit?
No citizen can deny any business man tho
right to place upon his commodities a price
that will give him a fair profit, nor have tho
consumers tho right to dictato prices, but in
this particular tho protest against an increase
of prices at tho present time seem fair. Tho
peoplo havo a burden to bear at present and
tho business men who will show a disposition
to bear with them until tho suspended
collieries resume operations and tho times
becomo a little better will exhibit tho best
tact. There will certainly be no objection to
a reasonable increase in prices when tho
people are relieved of the strain.
Let tho meat dealers weigh this matter
carefully before acting on it.

R. MORGAN CANED.
The Uorrion Kmploye Visit Fruclcvillo In
Full Forco.
On Tuesday ovening tho P. & R. employes
of Gordon planes, under tho guldanco of
that wholcsoulcd bonifaco Hugh Tigh, visited
town in full forco for tho purposo of calling
on Richard Morgan, tho former foreman of
Gordon planes, and giving expression to tho
high esteem with which the men regard that
official. Tho pleasant affair had been so
oxcollently managed that only ono or two
outsiders got an inkling of what was going
on. Arriving nt tho residence, on Nico
streot, tho numerous gliosis walked, into tho
parlor greatly to tho surprise of tho unsus
pecting lady of tho houso. Mr. Morgan was
at onco summoned, and was delighted to
meet his friends and after welcoming thotn
was enjoying a pleasant conversation when
V. A. Gohring, in a neat speech, bristling
with wit, aud expressions of regard presented
him with a beautiful gold headed cano aud
meerschaum pipo, from tho employes of
Gordon piano. The recipient was to over
come by his feelings that he could not
respoued, and called on Mr. R. C. Hunt who,
in a few remarks, accepted tho boautlful
presents for Mr. Morgan, and thanked the
gentlemen for tho kindly ovidenco of their
esteem. Although tho affair was totally
unexpected Mrs. Morgan's proverbial hospi
tality was equal to tho occasion, and a most
tempting repast was served. Tho evening
was then very pleasantly passed with music,
songs and mutual expressions of good will,
the Gordon boys returning to their homes
happy over tho success of their visit, and
wishing Mino Host and Hostess many happy
and prosperous years together. Tho cane is
of ebony surrounded by a massive gold head,
bearing the inscription, "Presented to
Richard Morgan, by tho employes, of Gordon
planes, May Oth, 1693." The pipo is a
beauty, and wo have no doubt will be well
colored beforo tho recipient uses up the largo
rackago of "Virginia Gold Leaf" that
accompanied it. Our old noighbor, and
friend, is certainly to be congratulated over
this expression of good will, that comes from
tho men ho bad chargo of.
