POISONED BY ICE CREAM.
Lower End of TOwn--Cause of the
Affection.

An Entire Family Seriously HI in the
Lower End of TOwn--Cause of the
Affection.
A peculiar and serious case of poison
ing has been developed in the lower end
of town. On July Fourth the family of
Martin Weinberger living on Third street
between Fifth and Sixth avenues,
lndulged in the luxury of home made ice
cream. Mrs. Weinberger made freezer
of the delightful refreshing substance,
using extract of lemon which she
purchased at grocery in the lower end.
The family all partook heartily of the
cream, and that night all were taken with
violent pains in the bowels accom- panied
by deathly sickness, vomiting and purg-
ing. DIR. COwden was sent for and found
all the family father, mother and five
children-with high fever and in terrible
agony. He prescribed for them and has
been attending them constantly since,
and while they are not all ont of danger
the doctor thinks they will recover.
The doctor attributes the trouble to
tyro toXican, poisonous substance
formed in the milk by having it too close
ly covered The family, however. think
the fault is in the lemon extract used for
havoring.
Several members of neighboring fami-
lies who partOok OF the cream have been
similarly affected.

farmer is not protected. Why, to para
phrase the speech Of Sidney Smith in that
speech declaimed by Colonel Irish, we
might say that every morning as weate our
oatmeal or cornmeal mush we paid 10
cents per bushel tax to the farmer, and if
we preferred cracked wheat we paid Is
cents, while our horse as he ate his oats or
barley cost us tax of 10 cents per bushel
and We mournfully gazed on him eating
hay taxed S2 per ton. Laughter and an.

what does it matter to anyone We all
realize the necessity of supporting the Gov
ernment, and If it is a tax to the farmer
every man pays it willingly and no man
knows that he is being taxed, because it is
an indirect system of taxes which op-
presses no one, benefits all. assists the
farmer, who is really the foundation of all
production and prosperity, and enriches
and enlarges the avenues of trade. of

Again; he spoke of the amount the
farmer had to pay for jute. l took that
down in my little book and called other
persons attention to it, so as to be sure that

farmers of California paid $6,000.O0O at the
Custom house in San Francisco as a tariff

Now, this question of protecting WAGES
and protecting productions leads inevitably
to another question intimately associated
and connected with ii, and which is higher
and more important question, namely !:
Why protect the products of labor and not
protect the laborer--the man himself? What
good will protection do; what will protec-
ton benefit, if you do not protect the man
himself? We legislate in favor of the loom
and in favor of labor. We legislate
against the Chinaman. That is right and
proper. Is that all we need? Is that an
the danger We have to fear? No. There
are other countries from whence is being
poured upon US labor as degraded, as de.
baslng and as destructive to the country as
is the labor of the Chinese. 1t comes full
OF danger to our free institutions. mistak.
