Foreign Wines--Their Spurious Ma
ture.

Foreign Wines--Their Spurious Ma
ture.
A correspondent of the Chicago Post
writes very sensibly on the subject of
foreign wines. Having quoted Falstaff s
panegyric on 'your excellent sherTies,"
he predicates that if Sir John had
lived in our day, and drank the COM
pound sold as sherry, he would have
sung very different song. Says the
writer:
The juice of the grape contains pro-
perties of the highest medical value;
and when fermented and scientifically
converted into wine, constitutes the
most rational beverage that has been
Vouchsafed to mankind, next to water,
the universal element for the use of all
things, animate and insnimate. 1t is,
however, scarcely possible to get
pure, unadulterated article of foreign
wine in this country, and this difficulty
is not confined to the United States
it also extends to the very country
where the wine is produced. Having
found it impossible to procure any pure
Sherry in this city, though had come
near poisoning myself with several
samples which the venders pronounced
pure" wrote to friend in England
to send me package of pure Sherry,
presuming it could readily be obtained
there. To show you and your readers
that getting money under false pre-
lenses is practiced in Europe as well as
here, will give you the answer to my
request:
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1866-05-08
L will give you the answer to my
est:
ENGLAND, March 4.
x l do not believe there is
a thing as genuine Sherry wine to
ld in either England or Scotland
FyGLAND March 4

/ do not believe there is
such thing as genuine Sherry wine to
be had in either England or Scotland.
1t is all adulterated with bad brandy
and other Objectionable materials. l
have long since ceased to drink it.
Port wine is still worse, yet immense
quantities are drank. | am told it is
almost impossible to purchase either
Sherry or Port pure and unadulterated,
even in Cadiz or Oporto. They are first
adulterated there, and then q second
dose is added here, from some horri-
bic compounds. In much of the Sher-
ry that is sold, l am assured that there
is not single drop of grape juice.
There are large manufactures in Ham
burg where Sherry is made without a
single drop of the juice of the grape.
Such stuff is enough to poison people.
For this reason those wines which were
from time immemorial the accustomed
beverages of the higher and middle
classes of Great Britain, have come to
be Stunned as poisons. Our strong
ales have come TO be substituted as the
common table beverages. l doubt if it
would be possible for you to get pure
Sherry, even if you imported direct
from Cadiz TO America-certainly none
of it comes to England, so far as my OBJ
servation goes. We are beginning to
use the light French wines. There is
no wine l like so well as pure Bur-
gundy.
Leaving Europe to herself, it is more
then we can do successfully to cope
with the adulterators of wines
and liquors in this country. The
extent to which it is practiced among
hxuor dealers as class, would be in
credible were it not a well established
fact, known to thousands in every
large community, besides the dealers
themselves. Wines of foreign growth
are too little used in this country to
have their true flavor and properties
appreciated hence frauds are most
easily practiced. They are daily pre-
scribed by physicians and resorted to
by invalids, who confidently take into
their stomachs poison worse than the
disease they wish to eradicate. Few
can detect the spurious character of
the article. We're it the water we are
accustomed to draw from our hydrants
here in Chicago, the cheat would be at
once detected-you can't pass the stuff
of for pure water upon man or beast
| should like to witness the joke if any
liquor dealer has the cheek to try it.
We're not this article so long already
l would show you what vile stuff goes
under the name of brandy, wine, cordi-
ais, gin, etc, ond add few recipes for
making brandy, port, sherry, etc.

STAUNTON, VA, FeD. oth, 1900.
Hm. A. Burke, Esq:
DEAR SIR:-I have received your note of6th
inst, enclosing petition of the American
Home Labor League, . and asking my opinion
as to the propriety of your undertaking to sec
ond the effort to procure adequate protection to
American industry.
AS the people of Virginia are now unrepre-
sented in Congress, as much through the agen-
cy of Pennsylvania members as any other cause,
[ do not see any good that would be likely to re-
suit from such an attempt. You had better
wait, until the sober second thought of the North
ern people shall have produced its effects on
the National Councils.
In regard to the general purpose OF the petl
ton, need hardly say, am in favor of it
For twenty five years, [ have been the consistent
advocate of the protective policy. AS early as
1912, delivered an elaborate speech In favor
of it, in the Congress of y. S., and on several
occasions subsequently, l have, In public ad-
dresses, sought to enforce the same line Of poll
CIV. Recent events have strengthened, rather
than changed, my convictions on the subject. -.
From the foundation Of the government until
1924, the leading public men Of Virginia were
supporters of a liberal tariff. One OF the best
reports ever made to Congress, in favor OF pro-
lection. was submitted by Mr.. Newton, one of
the representatives from Virginia. | have al
ways thought that the public men of Virginia
committed a great error in abandoning the
ground taken by Washington, and other fathers
Of the Republic, in favor Of fostering domestic
industry Virginia possesses as many, If not
more of the elements of wealth, if properly de-
veloped, than any other State in the Union
To say nothing of her gold mlnes,. which are
beginning to attract 50 much attention, she has
boundless quantities OF coal lrGn copper, iead sd
spar, l a and the purest white sand and silex for
the manufacture Of glass.
She also possesses immense forests of ship
and building timber, and water power without
limit. .,.,

Correspondence between Mr.. w. A. Burke
and Hon. A. r. II. Stuart, in relation to
Protective Tariff.
STAUNToN, February 6, 1866.
Hon. A. IL H Stuart:
DEAR SIR Enclosed please find memorial
to the Congress Of the U. S., asking an increase
of duties on foreign imports, which | have re-
ceived from the Secretary of the American
Home Labor League with the request that I
should have them signed by the people Of our
county feel very great interest in the sub,
iect, and think that protective tariff would
greatly assist in the developement of our sec
ton, but, being unrepresented in the U. S.
Congress, [ am not sure that a petition from us
would have any effect, and have concluded to
submit them to you, and to ask your opinion on
the subject. Yours respectfully,
W. A. BURKE.

were broughtinto relation of antagonism which
eliminated in the war; If we had supported
the protective system [ really believe we would
have had no war. Ifyou will revert to the his
tory Of the last forty years, you will find that
whenever we had a protective tariff, compare
tive quiet prevailed in the country but as soon
as protection to free labor was withdrawn, sec
honal excitement and animosity followed. -
The leyee or dyke, which has heretofore
confined the negro population within the South
ern States, has been broken down by the war,
and freedmen will gradually migrate into North
ern and Western States. The peculiarinterests
of slave labor have ceased to exist. All cause
OF sectional animosity has thus been removed,
and the contest hereafter, will be, not between
sections and systems of labor, but between in
dividuals, and perchance races, on the broad
theatre of the Union
We must prepare ourselves for this great
struggle. We must subdivide our lands, and
improve our agriculture, We must foster do
inestic manufactures, and create home mark
ct. We must, in word make all our natural
advantages tell in the effort to promote our pros
perity and happiness.
It is to be hoped that others will follow your
example, in abandoning old party dogmas and
obsolete ideas. From all can see and hear, l
am satisfied that wholesome change has taken
place in the public sentiment of Virginia.
IF our people, with our genial climate, fertile
soil and inexhaustible sources of wealth. cannot
compete successfully with the inhabitants of the
bleak hills of New England, this fact. will fur
nish strong presumptive evidence, that we do
not deserve the blessings which a benifcent
Providence has so bountifully bestowed on us.
have thus, according to your request, has
tily, and amid many Interruptions, expressed my
opinions. You can make such use Of them as
you choose.
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient Servant,
