able Ugh

In his able speech against the Mills
Bill, Mr.. Mckinley quoted Edward
Atkinson as having demonstrated by
statistical exhibits beyond question,
that since the end of the civil war and
yet more, since the so called panic OF
1878, there had been greater progress
in the common welfare among the peo-
pie of the United States than ever be-
fore. The statement Of Mr.. Atkinson
would seem to settle the question as to
whether we should adhere to the bene-
violent policy of protecting home manu-
features. 1t demonstrated Enthusiastically
the truth that to increase wages pro-
ducts must be increased, for in the end
wages were but the laborer's share of
the products.

The Pennsylvania Democratic State
Convention this week was one of those
cut and dried performances now SC
common in behalf of Mr.. Cleveland
1t endorsed his tariff views OF course
in that perfunctory manner which indi-
Gated the true character of the conven-
ton, in that it represented the Federal
offices OF the administration, rather than
the Democratic masses of Pennsylvania.
The statesman from Erie of course was
its ruling spirit. A prominent Phila-
delphia journal pays him its compli-
ments after this style.
As in duty bound, the Pennsylvania
Democratic Convention, guided and
controlled by Mr.. Scott, has endorsed
the Mills Mcmillan Breckinridge-T ur-
ner-Wilson-Scott Tariff bill. This is a
mere piece of bravado. If there was
the most attenuated ghost of chance
that the 80 electoral votes of Pennsyl-
vania could be carried for President
Cleveland, or any other Democratic
nominee, it is safe to set it down as a
certainty that no such endorsement
would have been given, and that a
wholly different and far more whole
some influence on the tariff issue would
have guided and controlled that Con-
yention. But, as there is no possible
chance now and no expectation that
the Democratic organization can carry
Pennsylvania for President Cleveland,

IMPURITIES NOT FOOD.

Defects of the Phosphate Baking Powders

We have already commented upon the

ments, with lime sulphates and phos
pilates, impurities that are found in their
powders. 1t seems almost incredible that
any sane person should put forward as an
argument in behalf of an article of food
intended for daily use, the claim that
it contains amongst its impurities a
drug which under certain conditions
if properly prescribed by physician
might be useful as a medicine. Ply
sicians will at once see that to endorse
any such theory as this is even more dan
gerous than 10 recommend to their pa
tients the indiscrimiaate use of the var
iOus patent medicines advertised on every
hand as specifies for all the diseases which
flesh is heir to.
In the recent examination of baking
powders made by the Ohio State Food
Commission the phosphate baking or
yeast powders were found to contain
large quantities of lime phosphates, lime
sulphates, etc, which appeared as impur-
tiles. Their manufacturers have so far
found it impossible to get rid of these
impurities, and this probably accounts
for their remarkable claim that such i'm
purities are good for us to eat.
The preposterous character of this
claim is evident from the fact well-knOwn

The latest contribution to campaign

The latest contribution to campaign
literature relative to MIR. Blaine's prob
able candidacy for the Presidency
comes from the New York World.
Shortly after Mr.. Blaine's letter from
Florence, addressed to MIR. Jones,
Chairman of the National Republican
Committee was promulgated, the i'm
portant part of which was the declara
ton: "My name will not be presented
to the Republican convention" the
World despatched Mr.. Crawford to
Italy to obtain more satisfactory ex-
preston of Mr.. Blaine's views in re-
spect to the subject of his nomination.
The report of the interview, which was
submitted to and approved by Mr..
Blaine before it was mailed to the
World, rather more explicitly than the
declaration expressed the purpose of
the author of the Florence letter not to
be an aspirant for the Presidential NOM
ination of his party; but it is was not
conclusive to that end, much less was it
conclusive to the end that if nominated
he would not accept the nomination.
To definitely determine the matter the
U0yld instructed Mr.. Crawford to go
to Paris, to see Mr.. Blaine and to OBJ
tain from him an explicit, decisive reply
to the question "Will you accept if
the nomination is offered you" The
reply Mr.. Crawford cables to the
U0rld is "Mr. Blaine adheres to his
Florence letter, and does not with
draw one word of his interview in Flor
ence." 1t will consequently BIT seen
that that which was in doubt on last
Monday regarding Mr.. Blaine's presi
dental aspirations, or the lack of them,
is in doubt this Monday SO far as any
decisive expression of his regarding
them is to be taken into account. The
country will form its own conclusions in
respect of the matter, and 1t will prob
ably be that Mr.. Blaine, while refusing
to appear in the attitude of seeking the
nomination, will not refuse it if it should
be offered him by the Convention with
anything like enthusiastic unanimity.
This position will be SAID by his friends
to be not at all at variance with his
Florence declaration. Certain it is that
If the friends of the Maine Statesman
hoped before, they need not now des-
pair.

its ordinary food more lime phosphates
than it can assimilate. The vital organs
are taxed. even in health, to throw this
excess off.
Pure and wholesome baking powders,
as is well known, are made from highly
refined cream of tartar. In phosphate
baking or yeast powders phosphate acid
is used as a substitute for cream of tartar
on account of its cheapness. The ingre-
dents and process used by we'll known
manufacturer in the preparation of phos-
phate baking powders are found in the
records of the patent office at washington.
This is the formula;
500 POUNDS BURNED AND GROUND
BONE placed in
400 POINDS SULPHURIC ACID (oil of
Vitro), freshly diluted with
1000 POUNnS WATER, and stirred from time
to time Tor three days. The paste is mixed
with farinaceous material. or with freshly
burned gypsum or with stearine, and dried
is to he used with bi-carbonate Of soda in
baking powders
Bones of defunct animals are gathered
from, in and about the great cities, on
battle fields, and wherever else they may
be found in quantities. These bones are
reduced to II powder with sulphuric acid,
and this powder is the substitute used in
the cheap phosphate baking and yeast
powders in lieu of the wholesome and
more expensive cream of tartar.
The suIphuric acid, with the lime and
phosphorus of the buues produce the
sulphate and phosphate of lime found IN
the impurities of the phosphate baking
| or yeast powders.

the Convention takes no risk by En-
dorsing the Mills bill, and can afford to
be very bold and bumptious ABOUT IT,
The States vote is sure to be IN the
Republican aud Protection column,
and the only effect that car come
from the Conventions action is that
the majority for the Republican noml-
nee for President may be swelled to
Blaine's eighty-one thousand, instead
of the forty thousand which seems lately
to be about the figure. So this Scott
deliverance in Pennsylvania is a display
of very cheap courage indeed.

Whatever may be the fate of the
Mills Bill now pending in Congress
one thing is certain, that during the
debate on it which closed on Saturday
last its advocates had a monopoly o.
rhetoric and oratorical theorizing in its
behalf, while its opponents displayed
the practical common sense OF the de
bate. Commenting on Mr.. Breckin-
ridges brilliant speech which closed
the debate for the free traders, one oil
our exchanges pertinently says,
Did sweeter sounds adorn his flowing tongue
Than ever man pronounced or angel sung
the fact would remain the same, that
the United States OF America, under
twenty odd years of tariff designed
for the protection of the wages OF
American workmen as we'll as for rails
ing revenue, have made march in
material and mental progress, in pros
perlty and comfort, and in everything
which goes to advance the condition Of
an immensely populous commonwealth
beyond anything recorded in the
history of the worId-even including
our own wonderful antecedent history.

THE CLEVELAND COLOSSUS.

So many pounds of President
We never had before:
If weight could count. his firm intent
Would win the race once more.
So many pounds Of President,
OF flesh fearful lot,
Upon single purpose bent
To keep what he has got.
Upon the Democrats he sits.
This very hefty man,
And thinks that he exactly fits,
The Democratic plan.
Some smart old stagers sigh and say
That Eighty eight may slide,
Since Cleveland's carriage stops the way,
And none but he may ride.
They tancied him stepping-s stone
To help them on the way
To blessings long to them unknown,
And to a brighter day.
But now the truth they clearly see,
Although at first twas dim;
That Democrats were made to be
The stepping stones for him.
