save the country the terrible mistakes OF NAL
administration. Men, ignorant of the scientific
principles underlying the guidance of public
affairs, were not the men to be entrusted with
such duties, however sound their common sense. or
however irreproachable their principles. Such
work must be given INTO specially trained hands.

abilities to bear on this important matter. and sug-

The FACT that Tennessee has refused
to settle the State debt at fifty cents on
the dollar with four per cent. interest
by a majority of Is, 900, is no indca-
tion that the people of that State intend
to pay off their honest debts. The
proposition was only defeated because
it did not wipe out all the debt. The
southern "chivalry" are continually y
prating about their honor, " but
whenever it comes to paying their hon
est debts they invariably repudiate
them. This may be considered homer
able in the South, but it certainly is
not in the North.

There is some talk Of opposition to tho

the choice of two candidates, each OF

Republican Policy.

The strongest argument against all

racy Is the fact that under Republi-
can administration the country 10 on
the highway to prosperity. The ruin
that they and their relations, the
Greenbackers, predicted has not YET
made its appearance, and had the
Republicans had the power in Congress-
this prosperity which has in such .
signal manner blessed the country
would have been much farther advan
ced. Failing in carrying out their fnan'
oial policy now that prosperity aboundi
the Democrats come in and claim the
credit. As long as We had hard times,
dear money, idle mills and high pri-
COS, the Republicans were blamed for
1t. 1t was that party that was driving
the nation to poverty and ruin as fast
as it could, but o>seoner did the pol
icy of the Republican party begin to
bear fruit, and with resumption and
protection of American industries the
United States began to assume its place
as the granary and tbs workshop of
the whole world, than we arc told that
it is the result of Democratic meas
ures. With intelligent people these
prstenslons will have no effect. Those
who have closely watched the proceed
ings of Congress and have noted the
Efforts of the Democracy in the extra
session, to revolutionize the govern.
mental policy will. readily know to
what extent the Democracy are respon-
sible for the activity which marks
every channel Of trade. 1t should be
b,rne in mind that the very measures
to which the country owes its unex-
ampled prosperity now are those which
have been the most bitterly opposed by
the Democratic party Even the land
grant system, against which so much
has unmeaningly been said, and by
which the railroads of the great west
have been nurssd into existence, has
been the main cause of our ability to
market a grain crop almost large

substances used to adultcTatc saccharine
are necessarily among the most harmful of
all The terra-alba, marble dust and the
various metallic and mineral preparations
used to defraud the masses in the matter of
sugar and the acids employed in the
manufacture of glucose molasses and syrups
are all of them dangerous to human life,
30 serious is the truth, indeed, that some
years ago Professor Joseph Jones publish
ed an analysis OF several varieties of sugar
end molasscs from Northern manufactures,
as warning to the community against use
ing them. Time has passed since then, how
ever, and the admonitlon to have been
forgotten. The South is flooded with these
poisonous and spurious Countcricits Of pure
sugar, the proportion offoreign and deletor-
Gus matter in which is never less than TWEEN
ty and often AS high as forty per cent.
In view OF these notorious facts and Of
the circumstance that avaricty of sicknesscs
and complaints, especially among children,
are directly traccable to the chemicals and
acids employed in adutering sugar and
molasses, it is more than strange that our
Louisiana. sugars, which are known to be
the only pure sugars in the market, should
not command greater preference and Il
better price. OF course we do not produce
fraction Of the quantity consumed in the
country, and never can; but it seems 10 US
that when the people know that our sugars
are absolutely pure and that the sugars
turned out by the Northen retincries are sys-
tematically and invariably adu!tcrated
they would offer some kind Of encourage
ment TO Us by preierring our products and
thereby putting premium upon them.
Perhaps if our planters were able to hold
their crops and to market them at their
leisure, the result we desire might be OBJ
taihed As it is, the Louisiana supply is
rushed into New Orleans within two or
three months and disappears as fast at it is
landed on the levces. In that way it is
swallowed up and its identity destroyed,
so that we lose the benefit Of the reputation
our products undoubtedly enjoy, Never
! theless it Is still true that Louisiana sugars
deserve a higher consideration and larger
relative price than they receive. Whilst
sugar is an article Of literal necessity
with the masses, and whilst
the Louisiana article is the only
one which is entirely free from foreign and
dangerous substances, it certainly seems
that our sugar ought to take precedence
over all Others in the market The tact is
that every state in the Union ought to pass
laws making it penal to adulterte sugar
and molasses with such injurious and deadly
preparations as are now employed by
almost every refinery in the country. That
would be within the legitimate scope OF
government both as a protection TO the
public health and an encouragement OF
honest trade; and it would be enforcing by
law what is now withheld through the ig-
norance and carelessness Of the masses
to-wit: premium upon purity and pen
atty upon adulteration in articles of food
