In this connection the Commit tee though proper, in view of the large number of tags used annual ly (more than four million) to en quire into the price paid for same, and find as follows: Per 1 000 1890, Constitution Pub Co $2 00 1890, Franklin Pub Co 2 00 1891, Franklin Pub Co 2 00 1892, Franklin Pub Co 1 90 1893, Franklin Pub Co 1 90 18u4, Franklin Pub Co 1 80 1894, Star Pub Co 1 751 1'94, Star Pub Co( unprinted) 1 65 1895, Franklin Pit Pub Co 170 1896, Franklin Prt A Pub Co 1 6(1 The committee believed these prices to be excessive and so stat ed to the Commissioner. His reply was, “The tags us°d have been protected by patent up to the pres ent year.” and that he awarded the cont ract to the Frauk'in Print ing and Publishing Company un der the demand of the State Print er that he was entitled to it. Not withstanding the fact that in the year 1894 he asked for and re - eiv •>d a bid as low as $1 25 per thou sand from another party. Upon enquiry of the Commissiorer ot patents, the Committee lea r ned that the patent upon the tag used expired during the year 1880, and one of the Committee then subnrt ted samples and asked and obtain ed bids through a commission house in New York. that prediction. There certainly are tew preachers who could go through an confer ence would never touch ’em.
