THE WORLDS SHIPPING.

The shipping of the world is steadily
growing. We are constantly hearing
OF depression in the shipping trade yet
the worlds shipping continually ad-
Vances OF course it is the steam ton
mage which has increased so much, but
the sailing tonnage has not decreased
in the ratio that steam has increased.
In the MARITIME Review are some very
interesting figures upon this point. The
tables published cover the last thirteen
years and include only steamers Of
more than 100 tons net, and sailing yes
sells of more than 50 tons net
In 1889, thirteen years ago, the ton
mage Of "sailerS" was 110S1 600 tons
against I74S,OOJ tons for steamers, Civ
ing world tonnage Of 1S,S29,O 900. The
'sailers' kept their superiority of tom
mage till 1894, when the steamers slight
ly topped them, the tonnage being 1884, -
900 tons for steamers and 9,J47 900 tons
for "sailers' and the total 1854, 600
tons. Since then the steamer tonnage
has steadily increased till in 1901 it is
1863 600 tons against $4,000 tons for
''sailers,' total of 22,1S2, 600 tons. Thus
in thirteen years steam tonnage has
nearly doubled, While tonnage Of sail
ing ships has gone down about one
third. Indeed it looks as if sailing ton
mage had reached its nadir for while
between 1900, and 1901 steamer tonnage
went up l,l9S,0OO tons, sailing tonnage
was reduced only $4,000 tons.
When we take the shipping by ma
tionalities, the enormous mercantile
fleet of Great Britain shows up, and it
will take the other countries of the
globe long time to come up with her.
The following table shows the relative
steam tonnage Of the various nations:

PURE Fo1I,


The pure food JAW ,s J1 enable the
buyer to obtain what he asks for ID
ne asks for coffee he is To- get coffee
and nothing else. II he asks for sugar
ne is to get sugar IL for butter he
must have real butter and not oleo-
margarine though the latter may be
just as good and even a better article.
by adherng to the law strictly the
public Is protected. and the chances Of
adulteraton are minimized.
A case was brought up in the police
court yesterday where man was SELL
ing as coffee a mixture of Chicory and
coffee As matter of adulteration the
presence of chicory in coffee is adulte-
ration. but chicory is a harmless adul-
terant There is no health reason why
chicory and coffee or rather a mixture
of them should not be sold. But the
mixture must no be sold as coffee, it
must be plainly stated on the label
what the mixture is. This was the
view taken by the court, and owing to
some mitigating circumstances a no
minal fine of $25 was imposed.
As a part of the defence it was stated
that the Portuguese wanted the flavor
of chicory in their coffee. OF course
this was no defence for selling a mix
lure instead of pure article under the
name of that article. 1t is however an
undeniable fact. Forty and fifty years
ago, and probably much earlier than
that, coffee was hardly ever used pure
in Europe Then and twenty years
later the putting up Of coffee, ready
ground, into packets, had not been
thought of and everybody bought coffee
in the bean, and roasted it as wanted
grinding it in that universal rousing
up machine, the coffee mill. The sound
of the coffee mill used to arouse hun
dreds of thousands to their daily toll
But not only did the house wife of
those days buy her coffee beans but
she as regularly bought a certain
quantity Of chicory TO be ground W
with them. Each housekeeper or each
cook had a special combination Of these
ingredients which was supposed to
make the best coffee. The poorer peo-
pie were, the less they used of the eX-
pensive coffee, and the more they used
of the inexpensive chicory. Indeed so
strongly was the use of chicory in
grained, that many European people
thought and probably do think still
that the use Of pure coffee is injurious,
and prefer, as the defendant said the
Portuguese do here, mixture of coffee
and chicory. OF course the idea of
mixing started from economy, for
coffee was very costly article, and it
is odd to trace how economy grew into
an actual taste for the article used for
economical reasons.

SUGAR COMBINE.

s. telegram from London dated No-
|lembcr 28. speaks of a. large German
Sugar Trust which has just been un-
earthed The information is given as
something new, but to anyone who has
followed the history of the sugar indus
|try in Germany and has read the con-
sular reports for the last ten years,
there is nothing new i'm the matter. Not
only has there been a very thorough
agreement in Germany to keep up the
price of beet sugar in that country but
the Government has entered into COM
bination with the beet growers and SUI
gar manufacturers to keep up the price
by paying a bounty on exported sugar,
thus enabling the sugar grower and
manufacturer to sell abroad cheaper
than he sold at home. Indeed it has
often been said that Germany and
Russia taxed their people in order to
give outsiders cheap sugar.
Far from being in a position of i'm
mense power the German sugar grow
ers are up against it," They do not
at the present time know what to do.
At the Brussels conference of beet SUI
sent of all beet sugar growers to reduce
the area of planting. A paragraph
from a consular report published in
The Star yesterday showed what they
hoped and what our consul thought of
! it. The plan is to lower the price of raw
beets, under the impression that the
growers would then necessarily be OBJ
! liged to reduce their acreage. But beets
! have been bought by the manufacture
ers at practically fictitious value.
That is to say the manufacturers and
growers, knowing that they had a
bounty behind them agreed upon a
higher price for beets than would have
been paid if there had been no bounty
and an open market.
/ Our consul does not believe that this
Will effect the object aimed at. In the
first place it will be next to impossible
to bring the beet growers of other
countries into agreement. The beet
area of the United States is not going
growers of Europe. Our object is to
raise our own sugar. At present we
consume a great deal more than we
produce, we will go on increasing our
production until we shall not need a
pound of extraneous sugar, whether
beet or cane. Our cane sugar product
now tops the world. In the second
place the owners of large beet growing
estates are not going to lose money to
enrich the manufacturer. 1t is a Curl
Gus commercial situation. The Brus-
it. We can thank our stars that we
are part of the United States.

ed to hold the whisky, and Miles and
Bolin given notice that unless they
could prove by next Friday that they
had it in their possession for lawful
purpose, it will be destroyed as the law
provides.
Marshal Applewhite made no atfi-
davit against Bolin and Miles for car
rying concealed weapons, though each
had pistol, and in a conversation
with the editor of The LEADER yester-
day gave as a reason for this, that he
could not swear they carried the weap-
ons concealed, and besides, that he
promised them if they would deliver
up all of the whisky, he would not
bring charge of carrying concealed
weapons against them. Judge Powell
has repeatedly declared from the
bench that drinking young men, blind
tiger whisky and concealed weapons
form a combination the most danger
Gus to the peace and good order of So
ciety of any with which a community
has to contend, and if the proof can
possibly be obtained, it is hoped the
next grand jury will take up this case
where our city officials left off.
