Food Adulteration.

That the common articles of food most generally used, are being adul- terated, will not be denied by any well-informed person. Time and again have uniformed and unsus- pecting consumers found this out to their loss and sorrow. And Con- gress has been called upon, and in response to the demand, invostigat- ed this matter, only to find 1t too true. Flour. meat, lard, sugar, cof. fee and tea are the principal food products found adulterated, and in some cases so impure as to not only be unwholsome but unhealthy as a diet.
 Onc of the latest disclosures, IS the lard investigation recently gone into by Congress, when prominent labor CTS in lardfactories, witnesses testified to known adulterations in this article, the head, feet and intestines being used, Gin an unclean condition at that. ] in it's manufacture.
 It is unnecessary to go through the list, giving the details of adulter- ation ill the other articles. It Is high time the press and people dis cuss and condemn this great and growing evil. If this is done and the proper demands be made upon Congress, all who adul- terate food products, can be caught up with and punished by inspectors.
 And here we might add that the Cotton Oil Product Co.,, of New York, have begun to manufacture a substitute for lard, cotton seed lard," said to be as good or better than the hog lard, and much cheap er And if Congress won't protect us from lard adulterntion, it would be well to use this substitute, espec- ially since 1t would help our farmers, who produce so much surplus cotton cad

SOME NATIONAL DEBTS.
France Dot Ridden Above all
 Other Nations.
CAPT ANSLEY'S MISREPRESEN
 TATIONS AGAIN DESTROYED.

In view of the fact that Capt. J. A. Anslcy has time and again, in both his paper and on the stump. made the assertion that France had paid off such big debt to Prussia so quickly, and WAS so free and pros porous. we give below some nation al debts of the old world, which shows France to he to be the worst debt ridden country on the face of the earth. Her debt is nearly six billion dollars, or about five times as great ss that of the United States, as a whole, and nearly ten times as great per capita, as ours is only S2l, while hers is S20O. Again, as the table below shows, nearly all Frances big debt is perpetual and funded bear ing interest, which prevents its ever being paid, while ours will all be due and paid within 25 years. So France is not so blessed after all, as Capt. Ansley pretends. His false uttersn- ces about France are here clearly proven. Read the statistics below:
 If national debt is national blessing, France is the most blessed country on earth. The latest com putation of the French debt places Il at about S5, ,9O2 800 ,00O, to which must be added S432, ,O00,00 in life annuities, which will expire with the lives of their owners. The funded debt is composed of S2,900,0 ,0O0 of perpetual per cents, sl,25l 500, I 900 of perpetual 4 per cents, and S967 ,906, POO of redeemable bonds. The floating debt is S2O0, ,O0O COG and the balance is made up of annui- ties to companies and corporations. The annual charge for interest. annu- ities and sinking fund is S258, l67,- 033.
 Of the other European nations the debt of Russia is the greatest, amounting to s3,605, 500, ,000. But she has population of $80, ,0OO, ,0OC while France has but little more than 0,O0O, ,0O0 The per capita debt oi Russia is less than $50, while that o1 France is nearly S200. The English debt is next in gross amount, being S3,565, 800, 900. Italy owes S2 ,226,, 600, ,OO0; Austria, Sl,857 500, ,00O Spain, SI.203, 400, ,0O0; Prussia, s952 ,8OO,0O0, and Hungary, s635, 600 ,O00. None of these countries, except England and Prussia, have . permanent revenue sufficiently large to guarantee interest and sinking fund charges from year to year, and the financial policy of each is made up of make-shift expedients that us, ually fail to prevent the rapid in- crease of government indebtedness. This is especially the case with France, the debt of which has in creased with marvellous rapidity dur ing the last quarter of a century, Philadelphia Times.
