Highest of all in Leavening MM ABSOLUTELY PURE THE CHINESE SUGARS Large Quantities Surreptiti ously Sold on the Coast. IT IS KILLED AS "MERCHANDISE" Hut Few People Are Aware of the Dan lr Thil Ii threatened from This I'nclean Aitlcle. Tacoma, Oct. 21. Tho curiosity of the nnwary reader is not aroused wheii he aevs among other iteiua of cargo re ported by the agent of the Asiutio Hteamern "8,000 pkg's merchandise." There in tea, silk, spices and 8,000 pkg's "merchandise. " Aren't tea and Bilk "merchandise?" Yes; and there is nothing to be con cealed in their importation, but with sugar it is different. Secrecy is the watchword. The public must not know that Chinese sugar is being dumped upon thorn. Why? Because the public don't want it. The steamer Strathuevis, which ar rived in Tacoma October 8, brought in her cargo 8,000 pkg's "merchandise," or 800,000 pounds of Chinese sugar, and importations of this sumo secret "merchandise" since July 1 into Ore gon and Washington have amounted to 48,340 bags, or noarly 5,000,000 pounds, valued at nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Where has it all gone? How many people know they are buying sugar from the plague ridden Orient, with its poorly paid and poorly fed labor? The same secrecy exercised by the importer is exorcised by the grocer and every one who handles it, and tho public be- comes a large consumer of an article that it knows nothing of and would I not buy if it knew what it was getting. I And yet there has been secretly iiu- ported in the last three mouths six ! pounds of this sugar for every man, j woman and child in Washington and Oregon. Whv does tho irrocer handle it? Not : a single wholesale grocer of any stand-: ins in the Northwest does, but some of the retail grocers iu their anxiety to ' buy cheaper thau their neighbors have j let their avarice get tho best of their j patriotism and good sense. They buy it because it is cheaper and they can make two or three ceuts more on a dol lar's worth. Do these grocers sell this sugar cheaper? Did you ever see in your grocer's store two bags, one mark ed "American Sugar" and the other "Chinese Sugar?'.' No. They buy it at an insignificant difference in cost and sell this "merchandise" as "sug ar" at the same price aa Amorcau sug ar. For a little extra profit they sell the public an article that they do not dare oall by name. Socreoy is the watchword. The pub lic will not have this "merchandise" if they know what it is. Therefore thoy must not know what it is. There are few pooplo who will buy sugar from plague and vermin ridden China when they got a better article at practically the same prioe made at home, and it is because tho puhlio don't want this product of coolie labor that it is handled in tho dark and sold in the dark, concealed by the importer and concealed by the tradesman. There is probably not one reader of this article who has not purchased Chi nese sugar thinking that he was get ting a clean American product mado bv Amoricau labor. Who reaps the benefit of the deception? A few honest grocers here and there display cards: "We haudle American Sugar Only." Many grocers soil Chi nese sugar thinking that they are doing nothing wrong, that it is all right so loug as the customer does not ask what he is getting or specify American sug ar. If the customer asks they tell him it is Chinese sugar, with a very few exceptions. Nevertheless, it remains a fact that j this immense quantity of sugar is , dumped iu here and sold and no one ever sees or hears of it. I The American irtople are protection-1 ists iu theory and in fact and are not j so inconsistent as to frame laws to ! shut out the products of pauper labor, and they turn around and buy, at prac tically no difference in prioe, an every day staple food product from the most , poorly paid, the most degraded, the j most filthy labor ou the face of the ' irth. i Hardly a freetrader would be so un-1 American as to patronize such products j although he does not believe iu keeping , them out by law, ami he can well point j his finger of scorn to any one profess-, ing to believe iu protection to Ameri can industries who brings to his own j house and family sugar from China. , ' Suppose the grocer gave his custom-1 era the benefit of the lower price and save them one more pound of Chinese ; sugar than of American sugar for one , of dollar, few families would save over ! thirty rents a year. It is ridiculous and no one will listen to it. Hence the secrecy. Ilence the "merchandise." This is why no grocer will ask you what yon will have, American or Chi nese sugar. I Let every American stand for Amer-1 ican goods. Find out what yon an?! ,.:,. lwni tilt form-hat nn I getting. At least pay iornat you ; get and get what yon pay for. Thu is I Tower. Latest U. S. Gov't Report the kind of protection that protects. The government in order to protect its citizens against practices of this kind requires that all imported goods shall be plainly marked with the name of the country from which it camo, But little sugar is sold in original packages and tho good effect is lost. If you buy a bag of Chinese sugar yon will find in the middle of the bag the words Hong Kong, provided your eye sight is good and provided it has not been marked over with a marking brush. A change will come about when every customer asks what sugar he is I getting and insists on getting his mon ey's worth and lets the light in on this secret "merchandise." There is spout for labor alone on the Pacific coast (500,000 annually by American refineries. They buy Wash ington coal, Oregon barrel stock, pa per, etc., ana in a great many ways the distribution of this vast sum of money is of benefit to our communities. The first question to ask oneself is: What can I do to help my fellow man, my fellow workman and the oonntry in whioh I live? First, by knowing what sugar you use yourself and secondly, by seeing that you are supplied with no other than the American made ar tide, made by American workmen, in American cleanly factories, operated by American capital, paying Amoricau wages, in good American coin, and keeping that American money at homo, not sending it abroad to support the corruption and corrupting influences of a nation stained with infamy, black ened by disease, and odorized with the death of its inhabitants. We have here in our glorious state of Washington and sister state of Ore gon, as evidonced by the Exposition of the Manufacturers and Producers Association, one of the greatest fields of beets in this or any other country. In rejecting the coolie made stuff call ed sugar and buying ouly Amoricau made goods, you are encouraging and strengthening tho hands of your neigh bor farmer, and building up an in d us try which you will yourself share and in time proudly realize the great- ness of the soil upon which we live and which God has blessed with a spe oial Providence as unoompassed on the face of the globe. GRCAT MEN'S READING. Jean Paul Richter hud ouly live or six books, all philosophical Mario, the great tenor, read anything ho could obtain relating to sports or hunting. Goethe once said that his literary life was determined by a volume of folklore talcs he read when a child. Julius Cuwur was a close student of Homer and said that all military sci ence was comprised in its puges. Lord Bacon was a diligent student of Aristotle. He said that Aristotlo had the mightiest intellect the world ever knew. Bulzuc was passionately fond of fairy, tales, uud the wilder and more extrava gant they were the better he liked them. Henry VIII of England was fond of the controversial works that were com mon in his day and wrote a book against Luther. Napoleon III was a student of mili tary history, uml particularly of the his tory of the ltoman state about the time of Ciesur. Jenny Liud was fond of history, but preferred it wlieu diluted with fiction. She said thut a historical romance suited her ideas exactly. , Garrick's reading related almost en tirely to his profession. He once said, "The human face is my favorite book, and the street is my school Milton's reading consisted largely of Homer, Virgil uud the Bible. His style is formed from the hist and a large part of his imagery is drawn from the other two. Long passages iu tho "Paradise Lost" are simply translations from Homer or Virgil.

BULGARIA'S GREAT BISHOP. Clement In a Power In Politic an Trucklea to Ituaaiao Favor. The mau to whom Bulgarians look for a reconciliation with Russia isM. Clem ent, metropolitan of Tirnova. Pre vious to 1870 Bulgaria bad been under the Tnrkish yoke for five centuries, and the massacre of Bulgarian Christians by the troops of the sultan was one of the causes that led Russia to declare war against Turkey. Turkey's course against Bulgaria, Montenegro, Ronmauia and Servia somewhat resembled her present course against Armenia. Russia s speedy victory gaiued for Servia, Ronmauia and Montenegro their absolute independ enco, uud Bulgaria was also practical ly lost. By the treaty of Berlin, Bulgaria was made a tributary principality under the suzerainty of the sultan with a Christian government, a national militia ami the right to make its own laws. It was also provided thut a prince of Bul garia should lie elected by the people and confirmed by the sublime porte with the consent of the powers. In 1883 the Bulgarian natioual assem bly revived the constitution of Tirnova, and Alexander, the first prince elected by the people, continued planning for complete emancipation. This displeased Russia, and Prince Alexander was kid naped by Russian agents in 1880 and forced to abdicate. Prince Ferdinand waselected as his successor iu 1887, and. METKol-OUTAN CLKMKXT. he was heurtily supported by Clement, the influential metropolitan, so long as he accepted the wishes of Russia as commauds. When, however, Ferdinand began to have more independent ideas, he was deserted by Clement, who ap parently believes thut the very best thing Bulgaria can do is keep under the thumb of the czar. Not long ugo tho nnlional assembly and Prince Ferdinand dispatched a dep utation which was expected to pave the way for a more friendly feeling on the part of Russia. At the heat) of the deputation was tho Metropolitan Clem ent, and the alleged object of the visit to Russia was to place on the tomb of the lute c Ear a beautiful golden cross as a tribute of esteem from the Bulgarian people. Clement is naturally very popu lar in Russia, and his deputation was received wi.h itHn arms, but his visit oily made Russia more firm in its re solve never to accept Priuee Ferdinand as ruler of Bulgaria.

Mr. It red, of thehalla, Waeli , TelU of Her lleeovery From Lou of Jllooa and Dropujr. From the N'uget, Cbohalls, Wash. ' The neighbors culled her a walking corpse. For fifteen years she had suf fered from loss of blood and dropsy. She had not the strength to stand aloue. She had spent thousands of dollars with the doctors and had been unable to find relief. Her case was considered hopeless That is the experience of Mrs. C, Reed, a well-known lady of Chehalis, Wash. A Nugget reporter callod upon her at her home last Tuesday. She was willing to be interviewed, she said, if she could be the means of pointing out to other unfortunates the way to recov ery and good health. It has been over fifteen years since the malady asserted itself," said Mrs. Reed. "Since then, nutil within the last few months, I never knew what it was to be well for a single day. I could not sleep. My appetite went away and I began to lose flesh. This continued for years. I became so weak I could not wait npon myself. I had to have the help of others to dress and un dress, even to walk from one room to another. I lost all my strength. In addition I hud dropsy of the blood. My limbs were swollen, and nothing I could do seemed to affordme re lief. The doctors said I must take iron to strengthen and invigorate my blood. I took iron took it by the bottle and by the box; took it morn ing, noon and night. But it did no good, uud I finally lost all hope. At last I saw an account of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I thought this fitted my case exactly and I tried to got some of the pills. They were not kept at the drugstores here, and I had to send to Olympia. They came finally, however. I began to take them and experienced relief immediately. I sent for two more boxos to the Dr. Williams' Company at Schneotudy, N. Y., and by the time I had taken them I felt like a new woman. l nave been taking them oc casionally since then. It was two years ago that I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was 00 years, of age then, and had not been- able to do my housework for many years. JNow 1 am able to care for myself, to do my own work, and I can walk loug distances without being especially fatigued. "I think my oure is a marvelous one, and is due entirely to the Pink Pills for Pale People. Without them I fear I should have been dead before now. "Since my oure has become known the druggists here have always kept the pills, and I do not have to send away for them any more. I have rec ommended them to several . of my neighbors, and I know that they have done much good in more thau one case similar to my.own." In order to confirm this statement beyond all doubt Mrs. Reed offered to make affidavit to its truth, and the affidavit is here presented !h subscribed and sworn to before me this 14th day of May, 1895. J. M. Kopner, Notary Public Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medioine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50c per box, or six boxes for f 2. 50.
