The tobacco in the cigarette, ilstead
of being the prime growth claimed for
it, must be just the reverse, 9. Sc tho
manufacturers would lose thousands Of
dollars annually instead of amassing
the fortunes they do, There is as much

age of cigarettes as thea is in four
moderate-sized cigars, but, rs every
smoker knows, passably good cigar
cannot be bought for two aud a-half
cents. Again, cigarette making neces-
states the use of most expensive ma.
chinery. So what does the ingenious
cigarette maker do? Go to a cigarette
factory and watch them-but stop! The
cigarette manufacturers will not per.
init visitors to go through their facto'
ries. They buy cheap material; give
it pleasant odor with essential oils, .
certain amount of glycerine to keep the
tobacco moist, and such II quantity Of
special drugs as may be calculated to
pleasantly soothe the nerves of the
smoker. 1t is the lyceriue which,
when burned, turns to acroleine and,
irritating the throat of the smoker,
causes cough.
According to dealers in the weed all
cigarettes made, except those intended
for Spanish countries, are drugged
Many of the brands are so heavily
dosed as to be positively dangerous.
The drug is applied in solution by
means of the atomizer, and includes in
the main opium, valerian and cannabis
indica. Thus each manufacturer may
be said to create special drug habit
among those who use their respective
brands, so that the smokers are not sat
isfied with any other. Opium is the drug
most favored in cigarette making ane
it is because of the use of these poison
Gus and deadly ingredients that the
doors of the big factories are closed
against visitors.
The tremendous rate at which the
consumption of tobacco in this form Is
growing is had in the internal revenue
report just published. This places the
number of cigarettes made at 3,000,.
100000, or more than forty-four cigar
cites for every man, woman and child
in the country. This is an increase OF
al4,44O, 600 over the previous year, and
does not include the thousands made
by individual smokers, who buy the
paper and tobacco separately and roll
their own cigarettes.

ages-are imported from Turkey, Rus

as cigarette smoking harmful"
This question has been asked again
and again, but until now has never
been satisfactorily answered. The pop
ular verdict has been that in conse-
quence of the burning" properties of
the paper. of which cigarettes are part
ly made, the habit is harmful, but from
facts recently gathered it would seem
that it is more than harmful, it is dam
gerous. The danger does not lie in the
burning" properties of the paper.
however, but in the inferior quality Of
the tobacco and the drugs which are
used to flavor the same. These drugs
are nearly all poisonous, and many of
them are deadly in their effects.
Cigarette paper is the purest paper
made and the supposition that therein
lies the harm to the smoker is nom
sense. The claim that it is rice paper,
however, is not trne, for there is no
such thing as rice paper. The so-called
product that comes from China is SIM
ply the white pith of plant cut in
slices. Cigarette paper is made from
rags. The best of it comes from France
and is manufactured of the cuttings of
new linen from the markings of shirts
and other garments, which is one OF
Belgium's greatest industries. Cuban
cigarettes are wrapped in paper made
in Spain out of all sorts of cotton rags.
II piece of cigarette paper be set on
fire it will burn to white ash without
smell or taste, which tells more and bet
ter than anything else can do about its
purity.

The Country Prosperous.

The business of the country is in
provokingly healthy and flourishing
condition. Imports during the fiscal
year ending June so were greater than
those of any former year, amounting
to eight hundred and thirty-three mil
lion dollars, while exports also exceeded
the highest record and reached the
enormous aggregate of one billion and
twenty-seven million dollars. Railroad
earnings for the first six months of the
year are greater than those for any
similar period in history, and the out
put of manufactures has been greater
than ever before. Business failures for
the first half of the present year have
been one thousand fewer in number
and forty million dollars less in gross
liabilities than they were during the
corresponding period of 1891. New in
dustrial enterprises for manufacturing
iron, cotton and wooden fabrics are
going into operation in various sections,
and while the margin of profits is small,
business is on a solid foundation, and
the outlook in every direction is hope
full and encouraging. The grain crop
is promising, money is abundant and
collections are easy.
In the face of such a condition of
things. the calamity bowler must re-
main silent. His bowling will scare
nobody, not even himself, for he is too

From the British Point of View.

The workmen, it must be confessed,
have not hitherto looked to the tariff
in vain. They have not only enjoyed a
high rate of wages, but they have also
had an increasingly high rate for a
number of years past. Labor has near
ly doubled in value in all iron and steel
works in the United States during the
last twenty years. Within the same
period there has been a general reduc.
ton in the prices of commodities, so
that labor has enjoyed the benefits o.
both high wages and low prices.
