commanding officer of the regiment, Col.
j. s. Poland, 18th i%nfanry, assumed
command of the camp, which was officially
designated Camp Amos W. Barber, in
honor of the governor of the state OF
Wyoming.
The encampment lasted one week. but
as the first day was occupied in pitching
and arranging. and the last day in break
ing camp. and on the 2lst q pelting
storm prevented all drills or any duties
except guard, there were but four days
for the serious work of the camp. These
days were well occupied. By a wise ar
rangement, the drills Of the 18th infantry
were fixed at such hours that the National
Guard were enabled, when not participant
ing, to watch the movements and thus
gain information. The drills of the
National Guard, morning and afternoon,
were in the school OF the company and in
addition always one and upon two days
two battalion drills. All these drills were
carefully watched by me. Such errors as
were made were noted either corrected on
the spot or subsequently pointed out. It
was of course to be expected that IN a
battalion many, perhaps most, of whose
officers had never before taken part in
any of the various exercises, many ir-
regularities and mistakes sheuld occur.
The officers, and as a rule the men, were
thoroughly In earnest, anxious to learn.
thankful for assistance, and as a natural
consequence the Improvement was con-
slant and exceedingly satisfactory. Col.
j. s, Poland, United States army, COM
manding the camp. drilled the battalion
for one hour and a half during the fore
noon of the 25th of August, and at its
conclusion complimented the battalion
upon the manner in which the various
movements had been executed and the
marked Improvement made. On the

NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-An Ohio editor
having written Mr.. Blaine that the Demo
cratic papers were parading him as an
opponent of the Mckinley bill he re-
piled as follows:
augusta. Me-, Oct. IA, 1891, John
Hopley, Esq.-Editor Journal, Bucyrus,
Ohio-MY DEAR SIR: You inform me
that the Democratic paper in your town
and many Democratic papers throughout
Ohio keep the following standing in type:
But there is not a section or paragraph
in the Mckinley bill that will open a
market for another bushel of wheat or
another barrel of pork,-Jdmes G.. Blaine
to Senator Frye, July IL, 1890.
This sentence is garbled and taken from
its proper connection. 1t creates a wrong
impression. What | did say is the fol-
lowing: Il do not doubt that in many
respects the tariff bill pending in the SEN
ate is a inst measure and that most of its
provisions are in accordance with the wise
policy OF protection, but there is not a
section or line in the entire bill that will
open the market for another bushel of
wheat or another pouod of pork"
The letter 10 which this paragraph
occurs was written to Senator Frye July
IL, 1890, and the Mckinley bill did not
become d law until Oct. /, nearly three
months thereafter. In my letter to
Senator Frye l objected to the bill
because it did not contain a reciprocity
clause which would provide market for
wheat aud for pork and for other products
of the farm and for various fabrics.
Before the bill was finally passed, the
reciprocity clause was inserted aud a large
| addition n fnala fa tho fraa l,ct
1t will, therefore. be seen from what
said in my letter that the objection which
l made to the Mckinley bill was entirely
removed before the bill became a law.
Let me further say the reciprocity clause
has given ample market for many barrels
of -four and many pounds of pork. Brazil,
some months since. entered into a treaty
by which many American articles are
admitted free. Flour is made free and
pork is admitted at a nominal duty. Cuba
and Porto Rico have reduced the DUTY on
flour from IS. 80 q barrel to 81, which
gives us the market, besides putting near
ly 100 articles of American production on
the free list. San Domingo has made Q
reciprocity treaty with -four and pork or
the free list, besides a large number o.
articles.
Other treaties for reciprocity are il
progress. Germany. without negotiating
a formal treaty, has removed the prohibi
ton on pork, and our government in con
sideration thereof. has left her sugar oil
the free list. This opens to US an en-.
tirely new market and SIS, 600, 900 t,
$40, 600, 900 of American pork will b.
consumed per annum where not a pounc
had been taken for ten years. The reel
procity provision is proving very sue
%cessfu', especially in farm products ant
more particularly in the case of the twt
articles mentioned in the paragraph
auoted-hour and pork. ! am not there
fore an opponent of the Mckinley bill
as the Democratic papers in Ohio ar
constantly alleging. On the contrary
have cordially supported it ever since
was perfected by the insertion of the rec
procity clause. Very respectfully YOUR
JAMES G. BLAINE.

THE FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD.
Success OF the Efforts TO Scotch Bad
Baking

The aggressive war waged by the Royal
Baking Powder company upon the hosts
OF adulterated and impure baking powd-
ers sold throughout the country is having
a desirable effect. The scandalous At
lacks upon the Royal company by the
manufacturers of the impure goods
(which are made doubtless both from a
spirit OF revenge and in the hope of
breaking the effect of the damaging ex-
D~osures) show that they are hit, while the
official reports which have come from
various public authorities fully corrobor
ating the statements made by the Royal
company, have awakened a wholesome
public sentiment in favor of repressive
laws, which means mischief TO the to the
illegitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder company
set out some time ago to expose the
character and to break up the sale of
adulterated baking powders. Having
found from an examination of many
specimens that there was a large number
of ~actuslly injurious powders in the mar
ket, they brought the matter before the
public and denounced the makers by
name in the press aud to the health au-
thoriues. The affair was taken up by
physicians. boards of health and legisla-
lures throughout the country, chemists
were employed to test the various powders
in the market, and the government itself
directed analyses to be made before it
would purchase the supplies needed for
army, navy and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges made
by the Royal company. Not only we're
the majority of baking powders in the
market found to be largely adulterated,
but many of them were ascertained to
contain alum and other poisonous ingre-
dients to such an extent as to render them
positively unsafe for use in human food.
In making the charges the Royal Bak-
ing Powder company did not hesitate to
enter into competition with every other
baking powder In the country, and it is a
public satisfaction that in the official tests
BY the government and state chemists
and by boards of health, the Royal Bak-
ing Powder has been declared to be the
superior of all others in strength. purity
and wholesomeness, and absolutely free
from all inferior or detrimental substances.
From recent official reports it is evident
that the alum and otherwise impure
goods have again came upon the market
in dangerous quantities and their old
enemy, the Royal, is again upon the war
path. 10 continuing it's warfare against
these goods the Royal is meeting with the
old time opposition and abuse. The pub
lie, however, will appreciate, as hereto
fore, both the object of the abuse and the
action Of the Royal company, aud award
full Justice to the company that so fear
lessly stands up for Its protection from
such adventures.

Chlcago's Great Sky Scraping
Worlds Fair Tower.
1t Will OvertOp Eiffel's by a
Hundred Feet.
A Letter From Blaine on the
Mckinley High Tariff Bill.
Chicago's Big Tower.

CHICAGO, Oct. l6.-The stars and
stripes, it was decided today, are to wave
l,l20 feet above the ground during the
Worlds fair, from the American tower,
that will o%utrival Paris. The builder is
to be Andrew Carnegie of Pittsburg.
Over $4,000 people will be accommo-
dated IN the tower at one time and two of
the many elevators are to start from the
ground and run more than 1000 feet up
without change or stop directly to the
lookout landing.
The width of the tower at the founda-
ton level will be 440 feet in each direc-
ton. The Keystone Bridge company of
Pittsburg, one of Carnegie's concerns, has
agreed to construct the metal portion of
the tower and have it complete Feb. |,
1895. The actual cost Of the tower is
estimated at a million and a hall, $780,
600 less than the Elfftl tower, the differ
ence being in the greater simplicity of
the design and the use of standard and
n.erchsntable sizes OF steel.
There are to tie three landings. The
first, 200 feet from the ground. will
accommodate at one time on the colorado
four or five thousand people. Inside the
colonade Is space sufficient to build four
hotels or restaurants, besides numerous
booths for the sale of different articles.
The second landing is designed as a grand
promenade in the day time and dancing
hall 10 the evening and will accommodate
5000 people.
The upper landing. 1000 feet from the
ground. will accommodate LOO to /, 800
people and above this there will be offices
for the signal service. scientific investiga-
ton, etc. Above this is to be a circular
electric railroad carrying electric lights at
night and signals by day. Above this
will be a lighthouse to be provided with
