Poisonous Candies.

Ed. ISTELLI6ENcER:-T The article
copied 10y You from thu Boston Com
n'erciH Bulletin regarding the manu-
facture Of candies is not in the least
overdrawu.
Being practical confectioner, and
actually engaged in the business for
the past &c years, can bear witness to
the deterioration of, and the injurious
nature Of the candies manufactured at
present by most of the large establish
ments.
None but unscr lpulous men, having
no regard for the health and life of
their fellow beings, will offer such stuff
to the public As confectioners. But
for the shame Of humanity, there are
too many such tiends In human shape
engaged in this, formerly respectable
business. Almost all the fancy candies
manufactured in New York contain
poisonous colors. San Francisco CALL
dies OF yellow tint, almost without
exception contain chrome yellow. In
nine cases out of ten in Wholesale es-
Establishments Spanish saffron is not
even known, ard if known, would not
be used on account of the high price it
costs. Vanilla bean is substituted for
donkey beans, and so on.
The manufacturer who does supply
his customers with pure and wholesome

to supply the dealers The dealers sole
calculation is. how cheap can l buy,
and that is nearly all. AS rule he is
ignorant OF the nature of the article he
sells. If it contains deadly poison that
is not his business; he says he does not
manufacture the same; he distributes
those injurious candies because he can
buy them cheap and make large profit
thereon. On the 18th of December last
child died in New York by eating
colored Christmas candies. Candies of
the same nature and manufactured in
New York have been offered for sale
during the holidays in this town, and 1
deemed it my duty to caution the pub
lie against them. Only yesterday l
heard of two cases where children be-
came sick by eating some foreign can.
dies. The only way this slaughter of
the innocents can be stopped. is that
every State and Territory of the Union
enact stringent laws against the manu-
facture and selling of these poisonous
and adulterated articles and relentlessl y
enforce them. In Germany the fact Of
simply offering such articles as contec-
ticnery is punished first by coz fisrsti0n
and then by imprisonment. lid a
child die the manufacturer would most
likely have ten or twenty years in the
States prison. A. W. PIPER.

THE DOLLARS OF OUR DAD
DIES"

The constant readers Of kilograms to
the daily press, cannot have failed to
note tho assiduity with which the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches lose no chance
to have their fling at the silver bill.
Everything that can be said against it
is given with the greatest gusto, while
all speeches in its favor have been care
fully suppressed. This is done in the
interest of the so-called National Banks
the officers Of which are largely inter
ested in the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
Great stress is laid npon the fact that
silver is a demonetized metal, by the 20
advocates of the government green
back. But whose fault is that: For
the past four years. ever since DR.. Lin
derman has been the Director of the
Branch MINIS in San Francisco and
Carson, those institutions have been
mere grist mills run in the interests OF
the Bonanza Kings of the Comstock lode
If the silver coin is worth less than
greeubacks, who makes it so? The
Government that retains dishonest
official in power and allows him to pre-
scribe spurious standard of coin. If
the dollar contains but ninty-six cents
and the half dollar but forty eight
cents, call them in and melt them up.
and then coin . dollar that shall be of
full value.
Much 10 said derisively about the
debtor class" in this connection. That
despised element seems to have no
rights which the greenbsck oligarchy
Of National Bank presidents feel bound
to respect. Our limited experience is
that the "debtor class" is what builds
up all new countries. The rich men
seldom do much toward hewing down
forests and opening roads. That work

will oppose this amendment because
they consider it theoretically inconsist-
ent with the min object and purposes
Of the bill, and therefore wrong in prin-
ciple, but they also believe. in view of
the limited coinage capacity of the
mlnts, the enactment of the Finance
Committees restriction of $4,000, 900
per month would make no practical
difference in operations of the other
provisions of the bill during the first

would afterwards be repealed. 1t may

THE LUMBER QUESTION.

Az the cutting of lumber for other
markets than our own, is the principal
avocation Of Puget Sound, everything
connected with it is of public interest.
Last year there was a drouth in Cali
fornia and short grain crop, conse-
quently farmers did not feel justified in
building new barns. fences or dwellings.
Hence Rnget Sound felt severely the
shock OF its chief market being closed
for the year. Now, that better times
are beginning to dawn for us and C,li-
fornia stands some show of big crop,
we hear of an attempt to corner" the
lumber trade by some Of the large mill
companies, the method of which is thus
described by the Olympia Transcript:
I'VE learn that I've OF the largest
saw mill companies have proposed to
the other four smaller ones 10 buy them
of running for the next year, paying
them ten per cent. of the business which
they would do. Also, that one of them
has accepted the proposal, provided
they allowed il to cut the logs the CON-
pany have on hand. or purchase them
ut cost price. Ii this rumor is true. it
will probably affect the logging bnsi-
ness. which is now looking up, and
bring it to another stand still. We
also learn that nm inventory of the logs
on the Sound, made few weeks ago,
placed the amount of surplus logs at
1000, coo feet. OF this amount, the
largest portion has since been purchased
by the large mills. The large compa-
MES have agents continually buying up
timber lands. and will soon. il contin-
ued in this way. have the whole lam.
bering business of Puget Sound under
the control of few hands"
The large mills on Puget Sound rank
in the following order for daily pro-
ducts: Port Gamble. Port Madison,
Port Blakely. Tacoma and Port Lud-
low. which are probably the five in.
tended by the above paragraph Next
in order to theml come Sesbeck. Port
Discovery, Milton, Seattle aud olym-
pia, those at the two last named places
being almost entirely confined to local
trade. II our mill here is one Of the
four alluded to. it can better afford t.
20 into the arrangement than any other
ON the Sound, as it only exports ii
surplus. The building OF the Seattle
aud Walls Walls Railroad is what hal
consumed . large portion of its pro
4 uct during the past year. in addition
