Impure Food.

Exceeding caution should be exercised in
the purchase of a new article of food.
Many recent cases of serious illness have
been reported from the use of the new
patent foods for infants, from INFESTED
baking powders and cheap fsvoring ex
tracts. The desire for rapid wealth induces
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers to place any
thing before the public that will sell at a
large profit, without regard to its useful
ness or heslthfulness. at present there
is great raid upon the baking powder
market, and so many imp1re aud adulter.
ated articles of this kind have been found
peddled about the country that the au-
thorities in several of the States have taken
the necessary action to expose them. The
report of the O lio State Food Commission
has shown that a large number of the
branos sold here are made from alum, phos.
phate, or q cheap and sdulterated cream of
tartar. The danger to the public is made
still greater by the unblushipg effrontery
with which the proprieiors of these impure
powders advertise them as perfect, claim
ing for them all kinds of fame and i'm
possible endorsements
The official report of the Ohio State Food
Commission gives the names of a number
of these impure powders, aud the smou ut
of impurity and inert matter 10 each as
follows:

A silly Cry.
New York World

Could anything be sillier than the out
cry OF the over coddled industries and
their partisan organs that any reduction in
the war tariff will bring blue rain upon
the country?
This couHtry never had AZ per cent.
tariff until 1865. Did it not grow and
pre- sper up to that date? Have not wages
always been higher here than in the Old
World alike under low tariffs and high
tar ifs? Are they not relatively higher to-
day in the nonprotected than in the pro-
tecied industries? What sense is there in
the cry that 1t will be a calamity to make
sugar and clothing cheaper and to relieve
salt, lumber and fbers and chemicals used
in manufactures from needless taxstion?
The enactment of the Mills bill would
leave the average duty higher than it was
nnder the Morrill, tariff in 1868. 1t would
leave it higher than was proposed by the
Republican Tariff Commissioners in 1882.
1t will add no more to the free list, with
the exception OF wool, than was recon-
mendsd by President Arthur and Secretary
folger.
The idea of running a country by abol-
fishing its needless taxes was never before
heard Of in the history of the world.

Desperate Ends.
Delphi Times


II is really pitiful to see the squirmings
and twistiDgs the Journal goes into ia its
defense of protection. 1t knows that the
people are tired of its burdens. but to call
their attention from IL and to blind their
eyes to the real issue, the revision of the
war tariff and the reduction OF the surplus,
as set forth in the Presidents Message, it
sets up the bugaboo of "free trade" and ar.
CUES about "direct taxation" aud all that
hummery. What the Democratic party
wants, and what the President advises in
his Message, is, that the present war tariff.
which bears 90 heavily on the farmer and
lsborer for the benefit of the few; which is
taking from the people a vast sum of money
each year that can not be used legitimately
for government expenses, and thus piling
up surplus in the treasury that is sorely
needed in the channels of business, should
be revised and cut down, aud that the
tariff on the raw material should be taken
of. that our manufacturers may be able to
compete with other countries and thereby
increase their output and give employment
10 the thousands OF unemployed men that
are tramping through our country trying
TO find work. These are the issues before
the country, 10 day, and not free trade;
and on them the Democratic party will 60
before the people and win q glorious VIC
tory in the coming campaign.
