Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report MM PURE THE DANGER IN SUGAR Industry in Which the United States Should Lead. YET THE COOLIE TRADE THRIVES Supported by American Consumers, lg , norant of the Danger! to Which V They May Be Exposed. Few people probably the world over, particularly in this aotive, vigorous life, as they drop the little sweet orys tals into their tea and ooff ee, ever stop to consider the origin of sugar, its cen turies of use and improvement, its en ormous factorship in trade ohannels ramifying the complete oirole of the globe, in almost every nation, of every clime, and the prodigious figures reached in the volume of its manu f acture and consumption. A brief synopsis of the growth of this remark able product might not prove uninter esting to the reader hereof. Formerly chemists called every sweet substanoe sugar. The original habitat of sugar- , cane has never been fully established but so far as known, was first oultivat ed in the country from China to Ben gal, and did not reach the West from India until a later date. The art of boiling sugar was known in Oangetic India from whioh it was carried to China during the first half of the sev enth century, but sugar refining was not known, for the Chinese learned the use of ashes for this purpose only in the Mongol period and from European visitors. Cane sugar was first analytic' ' ally made praotioal in 1610 by Fra brizio Bartoli, who isolated the sugar of milk and proved its individuality, Not, however, until the 18th century did Marggraf make the important dis oovery that the juioes of beets, carrots, 'etc., were identical with one another and with sugar of cane. ' It is remark , able how the trade centers of sugar have during the ages varied. Sugar refining was developed by the Arabian physicians. In the age of disoovery the Spaniards became the producers of sugar cultivation, being planted by them in Maderia in 1420, oarried-to San Domingo in 1494, and thence into the West Indies and South America in the 16th century, and from the ; duties leviod by Charles V, that monarch ob tained funds to build his palaoes at Madrid and Toledo. In the Middle Ages, Venioe was the great European center of the sugar trade and toward the end of the 15th century, it is re' corded of a Venetian citizen being awarded 100,000 crowns for his inven The earliest reference to sugar in Great Britain is that of 100,000 pounds shipped to London in 1319 in exchange for wool. At this same time the a3' counts of the chamberlain of Scotland show the payment of 1 shilling 9)4 pence per pouna lor sugar, or aDout 4714 cents per pound in United States money. Throughout Europe it con . tinned to be quite a costly luxury, be- ing used for medioinal purposes only, until increasing use of tea and coffee, in the 18th century, brought it into as it is today the list of staple pro ducts. The first disoovery of common sugar in beet root referred to above. was in ,1747, by Sigmund Marggraf, but no practioal use of his disoovery was made until his pupil and succes sor. Franz Carl Aohaed. in Silesia, in 1801, took up his sugar . predecessor s work .and established a ' beet-sugar fao tory. -. To show the phenomenal growth of this product, the consumption of sugar in Great Britain in 1700 was 10,000 tons; in.4800, upwards of 150, 000 tons, and in 1885, it had grown to over .1,250,000 tons. " " In Europe it is an industry of na tional importance, . especially in Ger many, which nation oontrols an im mense output The world's product a few years ago was about 1,750,000 tons, the greatest consumers of which are the Gothio and Teutonic stock, the English and their offshoots being the highest The output in Europe of beet root a few years ago was 85,000,000 tons, and its product in sugar 1,811, 000 tons. Crops range from five tons of root per aore in Russia, to nine tons in Germany, while in England it has risen to twelve tons per aore. It takes about fourteen tons of root per ton of sugar generally in Europe, the propor tion or saccharine matter being 7 per oent now, to 4 per cent twenty years ago. Where Do Americans Stand? Having given the above very brief synopsis of the history of sugar, let us now look for a moment at the posi tion of the United States in this indus try and the possible dangers constantly surrounding .us, particularly on the Western ooast, from importations from Chinese-made sugar, and realize the oonsequenoe of paying tribute to foreign labor, foreign capital and foreign ships in an artiole placed upon nearly every table in the land; from the banquet table of the rioh, to the lowly, humble, uncovered board, serving , as table, in the lowliest cottage of its poorest in habitant, and deduoe, if possible our remedy in the matter. It will be con ceded, w think, that tha American workmen, as a whole, receive more pay than corresponding labor in any other country; are the most prosperous; have more money to obtain their desires, and oonsume more of the necessaries and luxuries of life, generally speaking, than those of any other nation, yet it is a singular faot that in the consumption of sugar they are. behind the English about 14 per cent, the proportion being about 781 pounds per capita in Great Britain, to 591 pounds per capita in the United States. For a long term the working classes have groaned under depressed times, continued taxation, and want of employment, and it is of and to our own home people of the Pacific coast we desire to speak more directly, with all the sincerity words may impress. - We have called upon our lawmakers to protect them from the notoriously oheap labor across the Pacific, by the passage of the exolusion aot, yet every day we are aiders and abettors in sending money to that filthy, pestilential, disease-spreading race. ' Just think of this for one mo ment! During the years 1894-1895, the people of Oregon 'and Washington paid to foreign manufacturers and pro dncers in Hong Kong the enormous sum of $1,000,000 for Chinese sugar alone; this appalling figure, made up from the quarters, halves and dollars of the people, never to return. Just think of it! Could this amount have been retained among ourselves, what a wonderful faotor those 1,000,000 hard earned dollars would have been during the many hard, hard months of econo mizing and pinohing and starving through which we have just passed. If it were necessary that we should buy a a necessary staple like sugar abroad in order that we might sell our surplus of some other products, we might as well, perhaps, buy sugar as anythng else, but such is not the necessity. We oan sell our produots at the world's price, whioh is our market with others, and what we do when we ex port II in return, However, ror our produots we receive back coin in pay ment we are just that much better off. The pernicious trade in Chinese sugars whioh has grown to large proportions on our Pacific coast, is deplorable to think of. Americans, free working men, supporting the labor of a race of people born in poverty, reared in squalor and living in pestilenoe and disease. You have but to walk through any oity of any oonsequence, having a Chinese quarter, made to a certain ex tent wholesome by the sanitary laws of a better civilization surrounding them to realize the beggary, the stench, the nauseous handling of a moribund pop ulation whose labor exists upon the payment of 12 cents for a day's labor. We have seen how the Chinese live in our own midst, thousands of them hud' died and bunked together in dark, nar row rooms, void of ventilation, the foul stench of which . makes the strongest heart grow siok, and draw our own conclusions, in buying Chinese sugar, A gentleman who came to Amerioa when the cholera and plague prevailed in the Orient, said "that every pack age of merchandise, and even silk, etc., should be fumigated thoroughly to eradicate the cholera germs lurking in that dist ase-strioken country." These are not idle words, but the deep sounding words of warning from one knowing well the dangers to whioh we are subjected, from an eye-observer of the natives themselves, and the hor rors of the ghastly work of death among that myriad of fast-breeding, pestilential people. Suoh are the risks taken by every person buying Chinese made goods. Such the chances, unneces sary chances against the homes of our working people, and without cause other than the support of degraded, ill- paid labor, as described. These facts are daily becoming better known to our own people. So much so that many stores now display the sign, We handle the American Refined Sugars only,'.', and it is a safe rule to follow, where no such announcement is made, to be sure you are not getting China-made sugar is to ask the question or promptly transfer your custom. see tnat you are supplied with no other than the American-made artiole, made by American workmen, in American cleanly factories, operated by American oapital, paying American wages, in godd Amerioan coin and keeping that American money at home, not sending it abroad to support the Chinese nation. We have here in our own glorious state of Oregon and sister state of Washington as evidenced by the exposi tion of the Manufacturers' and Pro ducers' Association, one of the greatest fields for beets this or any other coun try can produoe. In rejeoting the ooolie-made sugar, ' and buying only American-made goods, you are encour aging and strengthening the hands of your neighbor farmer, and building up an industry in which you will your self share, and in time proudly realize the greatness of the soil upon which we live and which God has blessed with a special providenoe as unsurpassed on the faoe of the globe. BY THEIR BEST GIRLS. TWO Boastful Country Swains field Vp by Their Sweethearts. Edward VaiidelWater and William Cornelius were held up the other night at Hempstead, N. Y. Both young men lost all their valuables, consisting of watches, finger rings and their pocket books. , ' The young men, it is asserted, had often boasted of their physical courage and declared that if held up their as sailants would fare very badly. The young women decided to put the boastful youths to a test. Vanderwater and Cornelius were invited to call upon the girls at 8 :30, Early in the evening the young women, so it is asserted, donned two suits belonging to Miss Beekmau's brother. - To make their dis guise more perfect, they wore slouch hats and false beards and mustaches. They then secreted themselves in the bushes near their residence. The young men soon passed by chat' ting gay ly, when they were confronted suddenly by two supposed highwaymen who pointed pistols at their heads and demanded in muffled voices that they should give up their valuables lmmedi ately. ; Vanderwater made an effort to run, but tripped his toe on a stump and rolled into the mud and water by the roadside. Then he sprang to his feet and ran home. Cornelius fell upon his knees and begged piteously for mercy. He was told to shut up and hand over his money if he knew when he was wise. He imme diately produced . his watch,' rings " and money. ' Cornelius and Vanderwater, both bad ly frightened, held a consultation as to their proper course in the matter. Later the young women who had played the joke walked in, attired themselves in proper garments, and upbraided the youths for ; not making the promised visit. The girls pretended to be much offended, and the young men made all sorts of excuses for their absence. After having thoroughly enjoyed the excuses and embarrassment Miss Beekmun and Miss Dugan asked Cornelius what time it was. As his watch was missing he was obliged to make further excuses. The girls finally handed Cornelius his watch and valuables and admonished him to act like a man and not to fall on his knees and beg for mercy when held up. New York Sun." NEW MAMMOTH CAVE. Carious Archaic Discovery In a Quarry In New Jersey. A force of men at work getting out building stone at a large quarry a short distance below Phillipsburg, N. J., ao cidentally discovered a mammoth cave that promises to yield the owner of the property a handsome income. The men were getting ready to blast when one of their number struck crowbar with considerable force on what seemed to be a hard piece of stone, To his surprise the bar went clear through and disappeared entirely. This led to the investigation and the uncov ering of the cave. ' As far as the research has gone, the chamber opened up is nearly 150 feet long and seems to be divided nio nu merous ' circular and oblong shaped rooms, one of which has something in it that looks like petrified wood. Pieces have been removed and will be submit ted to scientific test to determine its character. There are caverns extending in divers directions that have not-yet been explored. From some of them there is a rush of air, as though they might have a surface opening.' Stalactites and other crystal forma tions are numerous, and some of them are very large and beautiful. Several specimens have been secured and sent to Philadelphia for examination. Quite a quantity of bones have been found, and one report says that several skulls have been unearthed. There will be a thorough examination of the cave by exploring parties, with a view to learning its dimensions, its con tents and ks connection, if any, with the outside world. - No one will be al lowed to enter the cave until after the exploring party makes its report.

But so far as the physical is concerned, it is within easy reach; at least measurably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is made up of greater or less degress of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are none in the whole category, which, it taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form afflict the nerves, the bones, the muscles ana . joints oi the human body. They are all more or less hurtful and wasteful to the system. St. Jacobs Oil is made to cure them, to search out hidden pain spots, and to oure promptly in a true remedial and lasting way.

Strange, But True, Story From the Lumber Regions of a Southern State Verified by a Reporter of the Greenville Reflector. The following interview has just been given our reporter by Mr. G. A. Baker the overseer at the farm of Col. Isaao A. Sugg, of Greenville, N. C. it win interest anyone who has ever had typhoid fever. -: Mr. Baker Baid in part: : . ., "I was living in Beaufort county, and on the 2d day of October, 1893, I was stricken down with typhoid fever. I had the beat physioians to at tend me, and on the 15th day of Janu ary ,1894, I was allowed to get up. '. I was emaciated, weak and had no appe tite. I could only drag along for a short distance and would be compelled to sit down and rest. This oontinued for some time and I began to give up hope of ever getting well. I lost my position in Beaufort county and having secured one in Pitt oounty, clerking in a store, I undertook it, but was so weak I oould not do the ' work and had to give it up. The disease settled in my knees, legs and feet I was taking first one kind of medicine and then another, but nothing did me any good. I . was mighty low-spirited. . I moved, out to Colonel Sugg's about four or fife months ago and commenced taking Dr. Williams' Pills. I took three a day for about three months. I began to regain my appetite in a week's time, and then my weakness began to disappear, and hope sprung up with a blessedness that is beyond all telling. At the expiration of the three months I was ' entirely cured and could take my axe and go in the woods and do as good a day's work as any man. " I was troubled with dys pepsia and that has disappeared. It is also a splendid tonio for , weak peo ple. I say, Mr. Editor, God bless Dr. Williams; may he live for a long time; I known he will go up yonder to reap his reward for he has done a wonderful lot of good. Tell everybody that asks yon about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People that if they will come to me I can certainly satisfy them as to their merits. I always carry a box of pills with, me and when ever I feel bad I take one." . - We - are foroibly . struck with the earnestness of Mr. Baker and his state ments may be relied on.
