spvLTER.TED FOODS.

The aduiteration OF foods appears 20
Be a very serious matter 20 Secretary
Wilson. Of the department OF agricui-
ture. He has set out with determine
ton to Investigate the character Of,
and extent 90 which, the delete-ious
deterioration Of foods and drugs IS
carried On The aid OF the public IS
asked in this work and there are some
points to which attention may be spe-
ciaIly directed.
II is useless TO send theories TO the
department. What is needed is con-
else statement OF facts which can be
verified by the officials, II necessary.
K is generally believed that adultera-
ton. sophistication, imitation and mis-
branding Of foods, liquors and drugs
are prevalent. Many states have passed
laws with a view TO preventing such
practices, and II would help the work
Il state and other officials would re-
port their experience with such laws.
how they have been enforced and with
what results. The chemical division OF
the department has been entrusted
with this important task. and if 1t re-
ceives the right kind of aid, laws
against adulteration will not be dead
letter.
IL We care nothing for our own health
and the injury TO ourselves that comes
from the home consumption Of aduI-
terated goods. it is good policy to help
in exposing them and saving our repu-
tation in the foreign markets. Our
consuls have frequently directed atten-
ton 10 the mischief wrought by the
exporting Of inferior goods. Frank II.
Mason, consul general at Frankfort, in
his last report, published in the Con-
sular Reports for October of this year,
gives a most encouraging account of
the favor with which American goods
of a superior quality are received in
Germany, but he is most emphatic in
his warning that anything else will
spoil our markets abroad.
In all cases." he says, whatever
the article offered or price demanded,
absolute good faith is requisite; fair,
honest dealing-the honesty that scorns
to send abroad anything inferior in
quality TO the samples from which 1t
vas sold. For the lack of this sort of
integrity, no mere eheapness will atone.
Whatever market there may be in Ger
many for American manufactured
merchandise can be conquered only by
the best that our country can produce
and be retained by strict fulillment
of every contract and obligation"
The value of good name is recog-
nize by every merchant, but sufficient
allowance is not made, too often. for
the discriminating knowledge of for
eign buyers, or even for that of home
consumers. 1t is not necessary to point
out the evils of adulteration. but it does
seem necessary to impress upon manu-
facturers the mistake they make fin per-
sisting in fraudulent limitations as a
matter Of good business Judgment.

ONO TO REDEEM HERSELF


The Republicans of Ohio will have
a chance this fall To show that the
great Buckeye state does not belong
near the tail of the Republican process
sion, which il ornamented in sorry
fashion in tire presidential election. II
was a source of humiliation to Repub-
llean leaders OF the Buckeye state, and
Of dissatisfaction to the party at large,
that the strong Republican state OF
Ohio gave her own son only As, 1000 Re
publican majority--half the majority
OF 1895 and a third Of 1894. The reason
was largely cowardly and short-sight-
ed Republican leadership. The Demoe-
raey preached free silver, the Repub-
leans avoided the vital issue and in
sisted on talking tariff. The Bryanites
were united, enthusiastic and ag-
gressiye, and the weak and laundering
policy of the Republicans gave them
their opportunity. Mckinley carried
the state, but ii was by force of num-
bers and In spite of poor generalshlp.
The situation presents itself in an en-
tirely different aspect this year. Silver
Is minor issue: or, at any rate. 1t
serves rs a poor rallying cry for the
late followers Of Bryan. c. H. Chap

The country can get along on Its
present money basis II the currency
question can be solved. The country
will not suffer very severely If no
great change takes place. 30 mueh

form I'm the currency that people during
the hard times rather hastily accepted
the theory that somehow or another
nroaperity depended upon q change In

form it may take. until an interna-
tlonal system Is adopted which VIII
make a piece OF money worth precisely

rough way we can explain why eoun-
try can be prosperous Notwithstanding
an imperfectness OF It's currency sys-
tenn by the fact that no country has
ever vet had a symmetrical currency
system. and yet many nations have
been prosperous. II IL true that some
OF them have declined. but that was
not due To currency system; the
proof OF that IL. they rose to power
with this same currency system.
Great Britain has been commercially
successful, yet she has the most cum
bersome and illogical and arbitrary
monetary system. and weights and
measures. in the world. The decimal
system is so evidently the logical and
the simple method of computing money
that We marvel AZ the failure of Eng
land to adopt such q progressive plan
Yet We are guilty of precisely the same
disregard for logic and simplicity in
our metrieal system. and still adhere
to the old-fashioned ounces and pounds
and hundredwelghts and tons and
inches and feet and yards. which serve
today as they did In primitive England
hundreds of years ago. We know bet
ter; but We do not make any effort 20
change things. and we are prosperous
in spite of them.
