REFINED LARD.

A Growing Impression that 1t LIS More
wholesome than the Pure Article.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, March 12-Quite change OF
sentiment has taken place here within the past
month on the subject of taxing limitations of
lard. When the Investigations were begun. two
months ago, by the committees of the House
and Senate having charge of the subject. it
looked as though there would be that prompt
action which was taken on oleomargarine. The
direct testimony given in favor of tax on imi-
tation lard was painted as black it could be.
The men who wanted compound lard Of every
description taxed and prejudiced by debased
brands, made stories which we're terrible. Dur
ing the past month the REORGANIZATION Of
these witnesses and which examinations have
Eot been fairly published TO the country, have
taken the bottom out of the assumptions
made by the alleged pure lard manufacturers.
Fairbanks & Go. have had their innings
recently, and have brought out some very start
ling statements from the alleged manufacturers
of pure lard. They have shown that the alleged
pure lard s largely made up fro m white grease,
or unwashed heads and feet of hogs. and the
actual mem branes of the entrails-a compound
which IN filth and EMBELLISHMENTS is enough
to make one shudder. They have proven, also
that the pure refined lard which is largely sold
on the market is much more wholesome art-
Gle than the alleged leaf lard. The cross-exam-
nations have also brought out the fact that
there is viciousness at the bottom of these de-
1cRnds for tax and brand upon refined lards,
ard the consequence is likely to be that the
whole project OF taxation will fall short. There
have been petitions, signed by thousands of peo-
pie, sent here asking Congress not to impose
tax upon most common and absolutely neces-
sary article of food, article which will be
eumed Just the same after it ia branded and
taxed as at present, and stating that to tax lard
any kind of compound will be to tax
4he consumers without benefiting anybody.
