terated. 1t becomes of great interest therefore
10 learn that aside from the long confessed
adalteration of sugars with sand, marble and
terra alba, there is new source of evil in the
practice of some refiners who confess to a
large use of glucose and tin.
Glucose as we have before stated, is made
from starch by the use of sulphuric acid, and
lime, and in the investigation referred to one
renner charged the other with bribng his
chemist to reveal the secret of using tin.
AT later stage of the proceedings. this
buyer thus humorously refers to the results
OF using the tin-manipulated sugar product.
"Thnk fit! BY and by when the peop,e Of
this country have eaten enough of this refined
sugar to become tin-lined, SO that the stomach
and bowels shall become coated with tin,
what pleasant thing it will be TO us, fathers
OF families! Our children won't cry anv
more, there will be no more stomach-ache.
for the stomach will be tin-lined: Mrs.
Wlnsow's Soothing Syrup will be no more in
demand, and who will care for the yellow
lever and cholera? Did you ever hear of a
man With tin intestines having the cholera?
1t is impossible! Somebody has said here
that this talk of adulteration of sugars is all
bosh. am on oath sir. I venture to saw
that Within the last twelve months more re-
fined sugars have been returned TO the re-
liners by consumers as unfit for eating, than
in any ten years preceding"
All that may be fun for the refiners, but IT
is death to the consumers. One sample was
analysed by the government chemist which
had 90 per cent of glucose, aud regular
article in the trade is stated by them to con-
tain ~ per cent. Of the same substance. The
sugar looks as well as the pure product and
the glucose can only be detected by its insipid
taste. 1t is considered matter of sufficient

IT is the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post who says these words:

Notwithstanding the fact that the latest elec-
ton returns indicate that the Democrats have
gained from three to eight members over their
representation in the present Congress from Ohio
and Indiana, the Republicans still insist that the
defeat of the Greenblck movement in the State
which gave it birth is victory which overshad-
ows the Congressional result. The happiest
man in Washington is Secretary Sherman. He
considers the result Of the.eleetion to mean that
his policy of resumption is endorsed, and he is
stimulated to active efforts to be prepared to
comply with the terms of the Kesuuphon law
when the time comes for It's going into effect.
Secretary McCrary says that if, in the very ag-
onies of Resumption. as it were, Ohio cad be
carried against its postponement, it fore
shadows that the party which sdvoc ates honest
money is to be popular with the great masses
of the people, The result in Ohio has stimu-
lated the Republican Congressional Campaign
Committee to renew activity. Between now
aud November every effort is to be put forwar d
to carry New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Connecticut.

THE Buenos Ayres. Herald is journal the
perusal of which Greenbackers shoald enjoy.
1t is sx-column paper, smaller than the
PRESS, and its subscription price is put at
the low rate of thirty dollars a month, paper
currency; that is about dollar number.
The subscription to paper of the same size
here would be about seventy-fve cents a
month. The advertisements too will be
found edifying reading by soft-money men.
The clothing house of Grand St. Martin,
which seems to be the Fisk of Buenos Ayres,
advertises suits of clothing for 800. Another
house offers to sell children's suits at prices
ranging from $3.50 upwards (prices in Polt-
land from IS upwards), and still another firm
advertises new line of choice cravats at S1OO
each. These are some of the blessings of
paper money. 1t seems from the market re-
ports of this journal that a gold dollar at that
time was worth $31. 95 in paper.

THE Springfield Republican doesn't think
so much Of Tilden as 1t once did. This is
what it has to say of the Tribune exposure:
SIT will clearly obviate the association of
Colonel Pelton with any future presidential
candidate. If we charitably assume Mr..
Tilden ignorant of this transaction, which is
quite improbable, we should not better the
matter for the probable morals of his admins
tration. A man might as well be depraved
himself as to be kept by depraved nephew.
We should be sorry to think that any political
career, responsible for these secret and cor
rupt negotiations, could survive their dis
closure"

Two of the witnesses were sugar refiners, and
fell out by the way, but in one thing both
agreed, that sugars and syrups were largely
and systematically adulterated, and to such
degree that one of the gentlemen stated that
he knew of an invoice of refined sugar coming
back from the purchaser with the instruction
