THE LARD EXPOSURES.
A State Chemist Tells How the Dead Hog
Grenseis Disguised.

Grcaseis Disguised.
BosroN, March 90. State Chemist
Sharpless has returned from Washing
ton, whittier he went to assist Prot.
Wiley, Chemist of the Agriculture De-
partment, in his investigation into the
adulteration OF lard.
Mr.. Sharpless said the experiment
showed an alarming practice OF adultera-
ton Of lard by the manufacturers. The
lards OF all the leading makers were ex-
amined. II was found that Armour &
Co., of Chicago, who are members OF the
Cottonseed Oil Trust, make lard, the
componcnts OF which are 10 per cent
beef stearine, % per cent cottonseed oil,
60 per cent Of prime steam lard, which is
lard from the whole hog, not the best
selected leaves.
Fairbanks lard was found to contain
not over 50 per cent OF lard. The Cen
tral Lard Company, n pool composed OF
five firms in New York, each OF which
is engaged in the refining business, sent
a sample from Tietjens & Co., OF the
lard intended for the French West
Indies. There was found to be 25 per
cent OF water, with the balance largely
made up Of beef fat and cottonseed oil.
Halstead 4 Co., also OF the Central pool,
put up lard composed largely Of cotton.
seed oil and beef steArine, with small
amount OF lard.
n. K. Fairbanks & Co.'s prime refined
family lard" contained cottonseed oil,
beef stearinc and lard. Armour & Co.'S
"pure refined family lard" contained
cottonseed oil and beef, stearine. The
Allcutt packing Co.'s "choice family
lard" contained cottonsecd oil and stear.
inc. Experiments demonstrated that
dead hogs lard could be readily used in
refined lard-cottonseed oil being used
to disguise the presence Of the dead hog
grease. Mr.. sharpless added that dead
hog grease was found TO be used exten.
siyely in lard intended as food.

Pork Packers VehemOntiy Protest against
Certain Testimony.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.-Carl
Drerer, Of Chicago, was cross-examined
before the House Committee on Agricul-
ture this morning in regard to the man
ufacture of refined lard, but nothing OF
importance was elected. Mr.. Wilson
inquired whether the business of re-
liners would be injured if they were re-
quired to put upon their lard n label
stating that it was compound lard and
giving the ingredients OF which it was
composed. The witness replied that it
would be disadvantage to the refiners
if it was n matter Of legislation and COM
pulsion to attach such a label. 1t would
carry sort OF inference that something
wrong had been done, and in general
way such requirement would be dis
advantage to the refners-it would be,a
slur upon the business. The chairman
laid before the committee the following
kilograms, which were placed on file,
from G. ii. Webster, of the firm Of Ar
mour & Co., to W. W. Dudley, of coun-
sci for that firm:

ONLY A THEORY.

New York Tribune.
Just to think that after all this noise
and lucid speech, after these months of
skipping about in the shadows with
dark lantern to evade inquiry, after all
Mr.. CleVeland's ponderous wisdom about
it being "a condition and not a theory
that confronts us"-after all this. there
isn't going to be any surplus, anyhowl
According to the President, millions on
millions were being piled up in the
Treasury at the rate of million week,
and we were all being ruined through
the Custom House. Now, when the
Democratic Congress has got well along
in its work of spending the public treas
ures, it appears that the surplus will be
only about twelve millions, which, if the
Mills bill were to pass and to result in
It's operation as its advocates say it will,
must be turned into deficit of sixty
millionsl This is a dreadful situation.
1t calls upon Mr.. Mills to ask the House
to withdraw his bill. He has been leg
islating to meet condition, and it turns
ont to be only a theory. The capacity
OF the Democratic party to scatter the
public money was not taken into ac-
count.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 80, 1888.

THE Free Traders are getting desper-
ate. Cornered by the impossibility of
successfully defending the putting of
woods upon the free list, while sugar and
rice are protected by heavy tax, they
are now asserting that more wool is
grown in the Southern than in the North
ern States, and hence their proposed re-
vision of the tariff is not sectional. This
declaration is so absurd that it seems a
waste of time to refute it, but an intelli-
gent member of that party having pro-
claimed in public place in st. Clairs-
vile that an ex-candidate for the Legis-
lature had the figures to establish that
statement, we challenge the production
of them.
The latest authentic source of infOr-
nation we have at hand is the census.

No MAN who works for living can
afford to vote the Democratic ticket this
year. Its teachings, if carried into effect
will PROSTATE enterprise, ruin business
render employment uncertain and diff
cult to obtain, and lower the wages OF

of fair living. That has been the history
of all revenue tariffs the country has ever
had; while under the operations of Pro

and working people have lived well.

From the London Sunday Times, uiy Is, 1855.
The electioneering campaign in America
ought to be most interesting to the English
people for historical, political, and phiosoph-
ical reasons. The main question al
issue is English Free Trade against the Cont
mental system of Protection. The Republic is
on trial. Good, conservative government, un-
der Cleveland, is opposed by the rule and ruin
party of Blaine, whose friends nominated Har-
ris6n. + Thus the American people
are directly involved in the contest through
their pockets which will be affected by the
tariff, and their future which would be seri-
ously influenced by tine restoration to power
of such fire. brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympathes and anti-Canadan policy. The
American election is infinitely more important
to Englishmen than their own internal politics
just at this juncture, and they should observe
every phase of the campaign closely and un-
derstandlngIy. It is from this point Of view
that the copious dispatches to the Sunday
Times are cabed. The result of the Amer
can election will help to decide many import
ant issues in Great Britain.

ENGLAND SOLID FOR CLEVELAND
Iron and Coal Trades Review Qondon.)
The Mills bill was successfully carried
through J1e TIOuSc on IIUTJr
Saturday by majority of 164 against 149,
nearly every member of the House being
present and recording his vote The sub
iect of tariff reform has now been made
party question, the Democrats, of whom
President Cleveland is the recognized
chief, identifying themselves with those
favoring reform, while the Republicans
fiercely oppose the change, but want to
saddle the country with even more rigor-
Gus charges. Our readers will remember
with what storm of indignation from
the Republicans President Cleveland's
speech on the question was greeted at
the beginning of the session; but it is
evident, from the events of the past few
weeks, that the progress tOlCard Free
Trade IN tie United States has been mach
greater than aDds generally expected. 1t
may be well to note that the Mills bill
has not yet become law; some people,
especially those connected with the tin
plate trade, talk and write as if it were
finally placed upon the statute book of
the United States, and for them it would
be good if it were, for under it tin plates
the duty on which now contributes
$5,700,000 to the revenue-will be ad
mitted free, despite the incessant labOrs
of the iron manufacturers to obtain an
increase rather than an abolition of the
duty HO1Cecer much the mGll1tdctltT
ing interests mag de1y it, the fact is pa
tent that great progress has been made to-
1cGrd Free Trade, and particularly has
this been the case since the date Of the de-
Hoe1y Of the Presidents message. Our
iron and steel manufacturers look with
very much interest on the movement
which is now going on on the other side,
for trade there so intimately influences
our own.
