A NATIONAL LIBEL LAW.

y CCORDING to the testimony OF experts be-
\ fore the United States Senate Pure Food
Commission, there is hardly an article Of food
that is not made the subject OF form OF decep-
ton upon consumers DR.. H. w Wiley, chief OF the
division OF chemistry in the Agricultural Department,
is reported to have informed the commission, Prac-
tically everything eat drink iS adulterated
Other witnesses gave testimony that substantially con-
hrmed the statement
1t is conceded that while many of these adultera-
tons are harmful and even dangerous health and
lie, considerable number not There is also an
intermediate class, said to be harmless by the
adulterators who make OF them, but regarded as
harmful by physicians Salicylic acid is one OF this
class the adulterators claim is used in such small
quantities ii cannot possibly inure any one, while
the weight of medical authority is adverse to the
claim, the experience OF the profession being that
when used to adulterate any article OF use
that the it habitually in small
quantities. the consequences are pernicious in the e-
treme
One OF the salient features OF the evidence sub
mitted 10 the commission is that while European
Governments forbid the sale OF adulterated foods
within their territory, they do not forbid the
manufacture of such goods for export The result
Is the United States made dumping ground for
all kinds OF European concoctions as we'll as those
tentous magnitude and it is full time some efficient
remedy provided for it. 1t is the design OF the
Senate Commission to recommend the passage OF
some law to that effect, and the subject now being
discussed extensively by the Eastern press.
The prevailing of Eastern exchanges we
regret to say, is not sanguine. AS the Philadelphia
Record expresses it: .Whether the Federal egisla-
tive authority could be induced undertake seriously
the task OF reforming the evil practices OF the legion
OF food adulterators is open to question: since the
public interest counts for but little in Congress when
weighed against the influences exerted by powerful
lobby But if there be any desire egislate for the
interests OF the should be easy to demon
strate to the lawmakers the fairness and Justice of
law which would enable buyers of articles OF food to
know exactly what they paying for. A truthful
label adulterated article would infab1y drive
it from the market in due time, no matter how
cheap it might be-
There be little doubt OF the essential soundness
OF that view of the law requiring all articles
to be correctly labeled as to their nature and the
place and time of manufacture would inure no
honest industry. Such law is so fair to all that it
would seem impossible for even the most powerful
lobby to defeat it if strong public demand should
be made for it.

TROPICAL HOME SEEKING.

7 T\ROFESSOR KNAPP, agent of the Agricul-
~ tural Department, who spent few weeks in
Manila, under commission to explore the agri-
cultural possibilities of the Philippines, has reported
that the islands offer splendid possibilities to Aneri
can home-seekers.
No doubt the professor is sincere in this Having
been salared and sent to see the islands in way to
encourage expansion sentiment at home he has done
his duty and has the country through the official
rather than the natural eye and reports accordingly
The genuinely American press, however has upon
duty that is not requited by salary nor coored
by official station That duty is to let our people
know the truth about homeseeking in the. Philip
pines.
The population OF our States and Territories on the
Pacific Slope is about four per square mile Cafor-
MIA has less than per square mile The Philippine
Islands have average OF per square mile, and
some of them have $50.
If the 100000 people in the Philippines were
added to the present population OF California and
dumped into this State would then have only
about seventy people the square mile This will
give some idea OF the crowded condition of that
tropical country which invites the American home
seeker to go under vertical and into mass of
humanity where men like bats, and the eli
mate renders their lives nearly as ephemeral
The average duration of life among the races
planted there by nature is twenty-five years. As that
short span is granted TO the indigenous people a
still shorter is given to the temperate zone races
which attempt domestcaton there and third gen
Grafton OF them is unknown.
Darwin noted that even English dogs taken to the
tropics so degeneraed in the second generation that
their characteristic traits disappeared and the breed
became worthless
In addition to the crowded condition of the Phil
ppines all the land is already in individual corporate
tribal ownership. All tropical countries are poor
countries. Nature supplies mans physical wants
without need of his exerton So no surplus is pro-
duced by voluntary labor and there is no movement
Of production transmutation and exchange which is
the wealth producing process
Most OF the physical labor in the Philippines now
is performed by Chinese coolies, imported under con-
