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.
