Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Absolutely pube THE CHINESE SUGARS Large Quantities Surreptiti ously Sold on the Coast. IT IS BILLED AS "MERCHANDISE" But Few People Are Aware o'. the Dan ger That Is Threatened From This Unclean Article. Tacoma, Oot 81. The curiosity of the unwary reader is not aroused when he sees among other items of cargo re ported by the agents of the Asiatio steamers "8,600 pkg's merchandise." There is tea, silk, spices and 8,600 pkg's "merchandise." Aren't tea and silk "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 them. Why? Because the public don't want it. The steamer Strathnevis, which ar rived in Tacoma Ootober 8, brought in her oargO 8,600 pkg's "merchandise," or 860,000 pounds of Chinese sugar, and importations of this same secret "merchandise" sinoe July 1 into Ore gon and Washington have amounted to 48,340 bags, or nearly 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 seoreoy exeroised by the importer is exeroised by the grocer and every one who handles it, and the publio be comes a large oonsumer of an article that it knows nothing . of and would not buy if it knew what it was getting, And yet there has been seoretly im ported in the last three months six pounds of this sugar for every man, woman and ohild in Washington and Oregon. Why does the grocer handle it? Not a single wholesale grocer of any stand ing in the Northwest does, but some of the retail grocers in their anxiety to bny oheaper than their neighbors have let their avarioe get the best of their patriotism and good sense. They buy it beoause it is cheaper and they can make two or three cents 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 as Ameroan sug ar. For a little extra profit they sell the publio an artiole that they do not dare call by name. Seoreoy is the watchword. The pub lio will not have this "merchandise" if they know what it is. . Therefore they must not know what it is. There are few people who will buy sugar from plague and vermin ridden China when they get a better artiole ' at practically the same price made at home, and it is because the publio don't want this produot of coolie labor that it is handled in the dark and sold in the dark, conoealed by the importer and ooncealed by the tradesman. There is probably not one reader of this artiole who has not purohased Chi nese sugar thinking that he was get ting a olean Amerioan produot . made by Amerioan labor. Who reaps the benefit of the deoeption? " ' .. A few honest grocers here and there display cards: , "Wo handle Amerioan Sugar Only." Many grooers sell Chi nese sugar thinking that they are doing nothing wrong, that it is all right so long as the customer does not ask what he is getting or specify American sug ar. If the oustomer asks they tell him it is Chinese sugar, with a very - few exceptions. Nevertheless, it remains a fact that this immense quantity of sugar is dumped in here and sold and no one ever sees or hears of it -The Amerioan people are protection ists in theory and in fact and are not so inconsistent as to frame laws to shut out the products of pauper labor, and they turn around and buy, at prao tioally no difference in prioe, an every day staple food produot from the most poorly paid, the most degraded, 1 the most filthy labor on the face of the arth. Hardly a freetrader would be so nn Amerioan as to patronize such produots although he does not believe in keeping them out by law, and he can well point his finger of soorn to any one profess ing to believe in protection to Ameri can industries who brings to his own i house and family sugar from China. Suppose the grocer gave his custom ers the benefit of the lower price and gave them one more pound of Chinese sugar than of American sugar for one dollar, few families would save over thirty cents a year. It is ridioulous and no one will listen to- it . Hence the seoreoy. Henoe the "merchandise." This is why no grooer will ask you what you will have, Amerioan or Chi nese sugar. Let every American stand for Amer ican goods. Find out what you are getting. At least pay for what you got and get what you pay for. This is B mum 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 whioh it came. But little sugar is sold in original packages and the good effect is lost. If you buy a bag of Chinese sugar you 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 oustomer asks what sugar he is getting and insists on getting his mon ey's worth and lets the light in on this secret "merchandise. " There is spent for labor alone on the Paoiflo coast $500,000 annually by American refineries. They buy Wash ington coal, Oregon barrel stock, pa per, etc., and 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 country in whioh I live? First, by knowing what sugar you use yourself and seoondly, by seeing that you are supplied with no other than the American made ar tiole, made by Amerioan workmen, in Amerioan cleanly faotories, operated by Amerioan capital, paying Amerioan wages, in good American coin, and keeping that Amerioan money at home, 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 evidenced 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 ooolie made stuff call ed sugar and buying only Amerioan made goods, you are encouraging and strengthening the hands of your neigh bor farmer, and building up an in dustry which you will yourself share and in time proudly realize the great ness of the soil upon which we live and whioh God has blessed with a spe cial Providence as unoompassed on the faoe of the globe.

He once said, "The human face is my favorite book, and the street is my school. " i Milton's reading consisted largely of Homer, Virgil and the Bible.

Alexander Taggart McGill, who was recently nominated for governor of New Jersey, is a Penn sylvanian by birth, but has been a resident of New Jersey since he was 10 years of age. He was born in Alle gheny City on Oct. 20, 1843. His father, Dr. Alexander T. Mc Gill, was an edu- , 7 . cator of , high , ' ' .' fir.anrlincr. nnrl in , A. T. m'gill. 1854 accepted the professorship of ecclesiastical, homiletio and pastoral theology at Princeton theo logical seminary, a position he occupied for 29 years and until his retirement in 1883., Young McGill. was graduated from the college of New Jersey in 1864, and has since received from the mBtitn tion the honorary degree of LL. D. Aft' er leaving college McGill began the study of law at the Columbia College Law school, from which he was gradu ated in 1866. He continued his studies with Edward W. Scudder of Trenton, and was admitted to the bar as an at torney In 1866 and as a counselor in 1867. He began the practice of his profession in Jersey City, but resided in Bayonne, and was corporation counsel of the town from 1873 .to 1875. In J873 and 1874 he was elected a member of the lower house of the legislature, in the proceed ings of which body he tqok a conspicu ous part. From 1878 to 1883 he served as prosecutor of the pleas of Hudson county, and in April of the latter year was ; appointed law judge of Hudson county, a position he held for about four years. -' ;- s... . In 1887 his college friend, Governor Green, appointed him to the high office of chancellor of the New Jersey supreme court. : The appointment was somewhat criticised at the time on account of the youth of McGill, but the new chancellor speedily demonstrated - that he was the right man in the right place. After serv ing seven years, duiing which he smash ed the Reading coal combine and voted against the pardon of the Hudson coun ty ballot box stuffers and the " Big Four" of the Guttenburg race course, he was reappointed for another term of seven years, which. .term will not end until May 1, 1901.. , BULGARIA'S GREAT BISHOP. Clement Is a Power ' In Polities and Truckles to Russian Favor. ' The man to whom Bulgarians look for a reconciliation with Russia is M. Clem ent, metropolitan of Tirnova. Pre vious to 1876 Bulgaria had 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, Ronmania and Servia somewhat resembled her present course against Armenia. Russia s speedy victory gained for Servia, Ronmania and Montenegro their absolute independ ence, and 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 and the right to make its own laws. It was also provided that a prince of Bul garia should be elected by the people and confirmed by the sublime porte with the consent of the, powers. In 1 883 the Bulgarian national 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 1886 and forced to abdicate. Prince Ferdinand was elected as his successor in 1887, and METROPOLITAN CLEMENT. he was heartily supported by Clement, the influential metropolitan, so long as he accepted the wishes of Russia as commands. When, however, Ferdinand began to have more independent ideas, he was deserted by Clement, who ap parently believes that the very best thing Bulgaria can do is keep under the thumb of the czar. .; ' Not long ago the national 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 head of the deputation was the Metropolitan Clem ent, and the alleged object of the visit to Russia was to place on the tomb of the late czar 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 open arms, but his visit only made Russia more firm in its re solve never to accept Prince Ferdinand as ruler of Bulgaria.

Mrs. Reed, of Chehalis, Wash , Tells of Her Recovery From Loss of Blooa and Dropsy. From the Nugget, Chehalis, Wash. The neighbors called her a walking corpse. For fifteen years she had suf fered from loss of blood and dropsy. She had not the strength to stand alone. 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 called 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 reoov ery and good health. "It has been over fifteen years sinoe the malady asserted itself," said Mrs. Reed. "Since then, until within the last few months, I never inew what it was to be well for a single day. I oould not sleep. My appetite went away and I began to lose flesh. This continued for years. ' I became so weak I could not wait upon 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 had 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, and I finally lost all hope. . "At last I saw an acoount of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I thought this fitted my case exactly and I tried to get some of the pills. They were not kept at the drugstores here, and I bad to send to Olympia They came finally, however. , I began to take them and experienced relief immediately. ' I sent for two , more boxes to the Dr. Williams' Company at Schnectady, N. Y. , and by the time I had taken them I felt like a new woman. I have been taking them oc casionally since then, g "It. was two years ago that I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was 60 years of age then, and had not been able to do my housework for many years. Now I am able to care for myself, to do my own work, and I can walk long 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 cure has beoome known the druggists here have always kept the pills, and I do not have to send away for them any more. I have reo ommended them to several of my neighbors, and I know that they have done much good in more than one case similar to myown. " In order to confirm this statement beyond all doubt Mrs. Reed offered to make affidavit to its truth, and the affidavit is here presented: Subscribed and sworn to before me this. 14th day of May, 1895. ,.

It's the early birds that catch the worm, saith the proverb, but what a foolish worm it is to get up so early and be - caught. Some of our farmers are the early birds. They go forth at dawn to catch up, as Ihey call it, and they catch something else. Tramping through wet grass and stubble on cold, damp, frosty mornings like these, and going thus all Jay thereafter, brings to scores of them what they were not looking fo. They come home in the even ing to suffer all night with rheumatism. Now, while men must work, they need not suffer. Why should they when a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil will keep them all right. A good rub at night with it will so (strength en and heal the muscles they will resist the influence of the cold and dampness, and a man will be cured before he knows it. Let this be tried for a while, and if the man is not cured, it is only because he hasn't the patience to rub the pain out. "On the whole," remarked the horse, reflect ively.
