Newspaper Page TextTHE C0IID01I GLOBL THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY, OREGON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 189. BE WARE OF CHINESE SU GAR One of Gilliam's most prominent tnerchauts furnishes us the follow ing, with a request to publish it, in order to put the public on its guard against using Chinese sugar, which ib a notoriously unclean and un healthy article and full of disease genua Large quantities are ship ped to this coast from China billed as "merchandise," in order to de ceive the public, who buy it think ing they are gettiug hrst-class American sugar. This article is well worth perusal by everybody who uses sugar, and that means about everybody: The curiosity of the unwary read er is not aroused when he sees among other items of cargo report ed by the agents of the Asiatic steamers, "8600 pgks merchandise." There is tea, silk, spices, and "otiOO pkgs. merchandise"? Yes; and there is nothing to be concealed 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 them. Why? Be cause the public don't want it The steamer Strathnevis. which arrived at Tacowa on Oct. 8, brought in her cargo 8600 packages "nieichandise," or "860,000 pounds of Chinese sugar, and importations of thia same secret "merchandise," since July 1, into Oregon and Washington, have amounted to 48, 340 bags, or nearly 5,000,000 lbs, 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 ita poorly paid aud poorly fed labor? The same secrecy exercised by the importer is exercised by the grocer and by everyone that hand les it, and the public becomes a large consumer of an article thaf.it knows nothing of, and would not buy if it knew what it was getting. And yet there has been imported in the last 3 months 6 lbs of this sugar for every man, woman and child in Washington and Oregon. V hy does the grocer handle it? Not a single wholesale grocer of any standing in the Northwest does, but retail grocers, in their anxiety to buy cheaper than their neighbors have allowed their avarice to get the best of their patriotism and good ' sense. They buy it because it is cheaper, and they can make 2 to 3 cts. on a dallar's worth. Do these - grocers sell this sugar any cheaper? Did you ever see in your grocer's store 2 bags, one marked "Ameri can sugar," and the other "Chinese sugar?" Nol They buy it at an insignificant difference in cost and sell this "merchandise" as sugar at the Fame price as American sugar. For a little extra profit they sell 'the public an article that they dare not call by name. Secrecy is the watchword. The public w;ll not have this "merchan 'diee" if they know what it is. Therefore they muBt know whavitis. There are few people who will buy sugar from plague and vermin ridden China when they get a bet ter article at practically the same price made at home, and it is because the public don't want this product of coolie labor that it is handled in the dark, sold in the dark, concealed by the importer, concealed by tradesman. There is probably not one reader of this ar ticle who has not purchased Chi nese sugar, thinking he was getting ! a clean American product made by ciean American labor. Who reaps the benefit of the deception? A few honest grocers here and there display cards: "We handh.' American sugar only." Many gro cers sell Chinese sugar thinking they do nothing wrong. Thatisall right, so long as the customer does not ask what he is getting or speci " fy American sugar. If the custo mers asks, they tell him it is Chi nese sugar, with a very few excep tions. Nevertheless, it remains a fact! that this immense quantity of su-j gar is dumped in here, and sold, ! and no one even sees or hears of it. ' The American people are protec-' tionists in theory and in fact, and are not so inconsistent as to frame laws to shut out the products of pauper labor, ai d then turn round1 and buy, at practically no differ-! ence in price, an everyday staple food product from the most poorly paid, the most degraded, the most filthy laboron the face of the earth. Hardly a freetrader would be so un-American as to patronie such products, although' he does not be lieve in keeping them out by law, and he can well, point his finger of scorn to any oneprofeesing to be lit'W in protection1" to Aniericrn in dustries wbotbriniiK to his own lii'Uf-e ai:d faniT j tomer the benefit of the lower price, jand gave them one more pound of r'i,;..., r , sugar for . few families would save over 30o a year. It is redicu lous, and no one will listen to it, Hence the secrecy. Hence the "merchandise." This is why tio grocer asks vou which j'ou will have, American or Chinese sugar Let every American Btand for American goods.. Find out what you are getting. At least pay for what you get, and get what you pay lor. that is the kind of protec tion that protects. The government in order to pro tect its citizens against practices of this kind requires that all impor ted goods shall be plainly marked with the name of the country from which it came. But little sugar is sold in original packages, and the good effect is lost. It you buy bag of Chinese sugar, you will find in the middle of flie bag the words TT . . 1 1 xionif ivonir, uroviaeq your eve- sight is good and provided it has not been marked over with a mark ing brush. A change will come about when every customer asks what sugar he is getting, and insists on getting his money's worth and lets the light iu on this Becret "merchan dise." There is spent for labor alone on the Facihe coast $500,000 annually by American refineries. They buy Washington coal, Oregon barrel stock, paper, etc., and m a great many ways the distribution of this vast 6u m 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 tellow workman and the country in which I live? First, bv knowing what sugar you use vour- seit, and secondly by seeing vou are supplied with no-other than the American-made article, made by American workmen, in American cleanly factories, operated by Amer ican capital, paving American wa ges, in good American coin, and Keeping that American monev at home, not sending it abroad to sup port the corruption and corrupting innuence8 ot a nation stained with infamy, blackened by disease and odorized with the death of its inhabitants. We have here in our glorious state of Oregon, as evidenced by the exposition of the Manufactur ers and f roducers Association just closed, one of tbe greatest fields for beets iu this or any other coun try. In rejecting the coolie-made stuff called sugar, and buying on ly American made goods, you ' are encouraging and strengthening the hands of your neighbor farmer and building up an industry which you will yourself share and in time real ize the greatness of the soil upon which we live and which God has blessed with a special providence as uncom passed on the face of the globe. The Salem Statesman learns from persons who are in a position to know that the state tax levy for 1896 will be the largest for several years. It is stated that it will not be less than 7 mills. One cause for so many poor pa pers is the fact that when a man has proven a failure at everything, he tries the newspaper business as a last resort. Exchange. Plenty of potatoes James VV.
