OLEO UNDER MANY MASKS
IHE PRODUCT TURNED OUT BY
ARMOUR & CO.
Libel* Which are Apt to Fool Unsus
pecting Buyers—The Value of Cow*
utid Hog Considerably Increased by
the Increased Uses to Which Their
Fat Can be Put.
Washington, June 16.—Prof. Bab
cock, o! the Boston Board of Health, and
a chemist, was the first to address the
members of the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry, and a large
audience assembled in the committee
room, on tho subject of oleomargarine
this morning. It was his duty, be said,
to see that the law of Massachusetts re
quiring that oleomargarine should be sold
under its proper name was enforced. In
a great majority of cases the law was
obeyed. There were thousands ot per
sons in Boston who buy butterine know
ing perfectly wbatit was. It was marked
'‘Butterine.” sold for it, and the
price paid was the pr'ce of but
terine. The same statement applied to
oleomargarine. Many dealers took more
than the precautions prescribed by law
to inform tbeir customers what they were
buying. In many of tbu factory towns
the operatives and their families wereun
able to buy butter, and but for this sub
stitute would be entirely without any
thing answering its purpose. It was
true many boarding house keepers
placed it on their tables as butter, and in
some cases it was sold as butter, but iu
like manner did some people sell sugar
and sand as all sugar.
UNDER ITS OWN NAME.
He believed oleomargarine healthful
ftnd that it should be sold as oleomarga
rine. A law compelling it to pail under
its true name wouhl be wise and could be
enforced. He thought it unfair to compel
manulacturers to color oleomargarine red
or blue or leave it uncolored, for people
would be prejudiced against it. A sub
stitute for any food article must look like
the article it took tho place of. Oleomar
garine sold at 16c. per pound and was
wholesome, while butter sold much higher
and was sometimes bad. He did not be
lieve it true that poisonous substances
were used in the manufacture of oleo
margarine lor the purpose of deodorizing
any of its component materials. The
process would be practically impossible,
he thought.
INCREASED VALUE OF CATTLE.
George 11. Webster, of Armour & Cos.,
41 Chicago, said his firm manufactured
large quantities ot oleomargarine oil, oleo
margarine, neutral oil and butterine.
About two-tbirds of the oleomargarine
ail manufactured by them was shipped
abroad. He thought the discovery of
oleomargarine had increased the value of
each head of cattle $3 by reason of the
increased value of the fats utilized
in tbe manufacture ot oleomargarine
oil. Should a tax be imposed it would
inure wholly to the benefit ot the oleo
manufacturers in foreign countries with
whom the United States had to compete.
He did not think it rignt that oleomarga
rine, wtiien was a pure and wholesome
product, should be taxed because it came
into competition witn another article. lie
bad a right to mamitactnre it and tbe
sonsumer to eat it without restrictions as
to tax. It should be sold under its true
name.
BUTTERINK’S CHARACTERISTICS.
Butterine differed from oleomargarine,
in that it was manufactured Irom neutral
oil prepared from refined lard. The man
ufacture of butterine increased the value
of each hog slaughtered about or
about s*>,OOlM'or the number slaughtered
in Chicago during the past year. Two
grades ot butterine were manufactured.
The best contained 25 per cent, of butter
and sold lor 13c. per pound wholesale.
The second grade sold at about lOUc. aud
oleomargarine sold at Bc. to During
last year the butter used for inis purpose
had cost his firm $96,000. There were
about thirty factories manufacturing sub
stitutes for butter.
TIIK PEOPLE EMPLOYED.
The manufacture gave employment to
about two thousand persons, while tbe
manufacture of tbe oil from which the
two were madegaveemployment,directly
and indirectly, to thrice that number. He
urged the appointment of a committee to
examine tbe various factories. While
willing to pay a license and brand tbe
products, more than this he thought
should not bo asked. I)r. Edson, of New
York, and Dr. Wolf, ol the New York
Board of Health, had bv his invitauon
visited their factory, and after examina
tion had voluntarily testified to the purity
and wbolesomeness ot tbe product. He
used none but tbe beat materials in mak
ing his products, ami did not believe It
possible to use old lats or rancid butter
with profit.
THE LICENSE PLAN.
If the factories were licensed he be
lieved it would be easy to detect persons
who did not pay a license, but he believed
that tbe imposition of a tax would lead to
many evasions of tbe law. He under
stood that butter manufacturers were
mixing oleo with their butter and cbeeso
and selling it without explanation. 11 its
firm usually sold their product labeled
‘‘Creamery llut.’erlne” or “Dairy Butter
ine.’' They would label it simply “Crearn-
L-ry” or “ Dalrv” if tbe customers so de
sired, but would refuse to laiiel it “Dairy
Butter” or “Creamery Butter.” The hear
ing will bo continued to-morrow.

OIL FOR GOVERNMENT COGS.
Ibo Legislative Appropriation Bill
Again Uuder Discussion.
Washington, June 16 The House to
day weut into committee of the whole,
with Mr, Blount in tbe chair, on the legis
lative appropriation bill.
The clause relating to the pension of
fice gave rise to tbe usual discussion as to
partisan methods employed In the conduct
of that bureau by the present and pre
vious administrations. Then a long and
at times amusing discussion ensued as
to the number of Democrats and Repub
licans, respectively, who entered the army
at the beginning of the war.
A TIME-WORN SUBJECT.
As this was a time-worn subject but
little genuine interest was taken in the
debate, winch promised tojconticue to
such a length that Mr. Randall suggested
a night session at which the gentlemen
might give their views on the matter,
while Mr. I’ayson suggested to somo gen
tlemen around him the propriety of ap
pointing a special committee to settle
once for all the vexed question of the po
litical status of the Union army. Finally
the discussion was closed with a speech
by Mr. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, in which
he appealed to the House to proceed to
business and quit fighting the war over
again.
THE LABOR BUREAU.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, offered an
amendment which, after a short debate,
was agreed to, increasing the appropria
tions for the Bureau ol Labor in the ag
gregate J3f>,610, so as to make the appro
priation equaijto the estimates of the Com
missioner of Labor.
Then there was a brief recurrence of
the discussion of yesterday, Mr. Hiscock,
of New York, reiterating his statement
that according to tbe correct estimates
there would be at the close of the next
fiscal year a deficiency of from $11,000,000
to $14,000,000, and Mr. Morrison, of Illi
nois, contending that there would be a
surplus of at least $30,000,000.
Mr. Cabell, of Virginia, offered an
amendment reducing from $2,050,000 to
$,900,000, the appropriation for the sala
ries and expenses of agents, surveyors,
gaugers and storekeepers In the Bureau
of Internal Revenue. Tbe sum suggested
by him, he said, was amply sufficient
and was $60,000 in excess of the expendi
tures of the present year.
THE AMENDMENT ADOPTED.
Mr. Randall said there would be no
danger in adopting the amendment. It
was based upon information which had
come to tbe committee since the estimates
were submitted.
The amendment was agreed to.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. The amendments
agreed to in committee increasing tbe
compensation of the Assistant Treasurers
at Chicago, St. Louis, Boston and San
Francisco were rejected by the House.
The amendment appropriating SIO,OOO
for additional emergency clerks, mes
sengers and watchmen at tbe sub-Treas
ury at, New York, was also rejected.
Tbe other amendments were agreed to in
gross, and the bill was passed.
The Honee then, at 4:30 o’clock, took a
recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session
to be for consideration of the private cal
endar.

SAVANNAH. THURSDAY. JUNE 17. 1886.
PROTECTION FALLACIES.
WOOL INTERESTS BENEFITED
BY LOW TARIFFS.
The Resolutions of Messrs. Grosveuor
and Wilkins Call Out Two Reports
from the Bouse Committee on Ways
and Means—Shortsightedness of tlie
Protectionists.
Washington, June 16. Two long re
ports were made to the House to-day
from the Committee on Ways and Means
upon resolutions offered by Sir. Grosve
nor, of Ohio, declaring in favor of the
restoration of the wool tariff of 1867, and
by Mr. Wilkins, of Ohio, expressing the
sense of Congress as adverse to any
change in the present wool tariff. The
majority report adverse to these resolu
tiousembodies along statement of figures
from the statistical abstract of 1882 and
other authorities to support the assertion
that tbe result of tho imposition of the
tariff of 1867, enacted in obedience to
the clamors ol the wool growers of the
States of Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan, was a falling oil of one-half of
the product in those States. From this
showing the committee argues that the
wool growers were not benefited in the
price of their product; tbat the more wool
was nominally protected the worse was
the condition of the grower; that
American wool had always risen
in price when tbe home manufacturer
had been permitted to obtain foreign
wool duty free, or nearly so; no amouut
of protection ot the wool manufactured
suffices to compensate tor the difficulties
uuder which he labors by reason of the
tax ou materials; that both the wool
grower and manufacturer have prospered
more under the system of low duties on
manufactures and none at all on wool
than they have under opposite systems.
Tne report continues: To those who have
a blind faith in the power of protective
tariffs to override the laws of nature,
these conclusions aredouliUessiuereililde.
Accustomed to believe that, all the pros
perity of this country is due to the so
called protection, they cannot or will not
look to the facts ami accept the conclu
sions to which they lead. In this there is
nothing remarkable. Unfortunately
almostevery class when it gets the power
of legislating in its own interest Is so
blinded by seltiehness that it cannot
see what its interests really are.
It is not $o be wondered at
that those who claim to be representatives
of the wool growers of this country should
be shortsighted. But the committee is
assured that not one-lifth of the wool
growers of the country are really con
cerned in the’proceedings of their assumed
representatives, and the committee is con
fident that many of the most, intelligent
wool growers, including some of those
who produce the largest quantity of wool,
are not in sympathy with the demand for
a high tariff on wool.
The report submits as tne
conclusions of tbe committee that
tho duty upon Imported wool is proved by
testimony derived from both argument
and experience to be injurious to all
classes and beneficial to mine.
The report submitted by Mr. MoKin
key, of Ohio, in behalf of the minority of
the committee, is equally positive in its
arguments and conclusions, and is fully
as well fortified with citations of statis
tics as is the majority report.
GEN. LEE AI&OUSED.
Ho Replies to the Misstatements of
a Kansas Clergyman.
St. Louis, June 16.—On;Docorationday
Rev. S. McChesney, pastor of the Metho
dist church at Topeka, Kaa., delivered an
address in which he used the following
language:
I will not attempt to conceal or describe
my emotions when I learned that on March 4
last year, at the time oi the inauguration
ceremonies at Washington, an ex-Confederate
General—Fiizhugh Lee—led that military
procession in Confederate uniform with the
gallant Sheridan relegated to an inferior po
sition in that lino.
The address attracted considerable at
tention at the time and met Gen. Lee’s
eyes, for yesterday the Secretary of the
Democratic State Committee received the
following letter from him:
Commonwealth or Virginia, i
Governor’s office, >
Richmond, Va.. June id, 1886. J
The statements of Or. McCheinev are fal-o,
viz: that an ex-Confedcrate General led the
military in the procession in Confederate uni
form, as well a his statement that Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan in blue was placed in an in
ferior position, and that tbe military was
martiaied by a man in the color of ashes.
Just after reading lii* absurd sentences, com
paring the color of gray to nsucs, etc., I
read in another paper of the action oi
some Federal soldiers in Watertown, N. Y-,
who bad received pensions under the law s of
the Uuitcd States, but who. not requiring
them, bad sent them to some Confederate nol
d>ers residing in this state, because tliev
thought their necessities urealer. Which l
doing i be most for the promotion of a restored
union of coequal state—the narrow -minded,
bloodthirsty preacher who lias probably never
smelled gunpowder, or tbe ex-Union soldiers
who stopped tiglitiug when the war was over?
1 can only pity a man who remains belligerent
so long, and express the hope that lifter death
Ills a-bes muy be at peace. Verv rranectfullv
yours, PITZRUOK Lee.
CONVICTS RKI’UHR TO WORK.
They Will be Given No Food Until
Tbey Como to Terms.
Rai eigh, N.C., June 16.— 0n the Pitta
boro railroad there is a gang of 73 con
vict* employed. Yesterday 67 of tbeae
convicts refused to work. The officer in
charge came here and had a conference
with tbe penitentiary authorities which
resulted iu his returning with a large
lorce of extra guards. The convicts re
fused to come out of the stock
ade or work. Instructions have been
given to give no food to those who refuse
to work. It Is anew and curious phase
of the convict labor question. Tbey make
no complaint of their treatment or fare.
They simply decline to work. They are
very closely guarded, and It Is thought
tbe means taken will prove successful.
The ringleaders will be punished.

BAVARIA’S DEAD KING.
Disorderly Rusli of tho People to
View tho Remains.
Munich, June 16.—The Tope has tele
graphed an expression of condolence to
Princß Luttpold, regent of Bavaria, upon
the death ot King Ludwig.
The body ot King Ludwig whs placed
in state in the old chapel of tbe resldenz-’
schloss this morning aud tbe public were
admitted to view the remains after
8 o’clock. The crowds which came
to have a last look nt the dead King were
enormous aud beyond the capacity ol the
authorities to handle in an orderly man
ner. The people in their first surge brushed
theguitriie aud ushers aside ami poured in
in disorderly confusion. Many were
knocked down and trampled upon, ami
tbe coffio was soou surrounded by people
breathless with excitement or crying
aloud with pain. The doors of tho palace
were finally forced shut and arrange
ments made for admitting 200 persons at
the end of each fifteen minutes. To pre
serve order under the new plan it was
even necessary to place at the entrances
soldiers bearing fixed bayonets. For
awhile this incensed tbe people and in
creased-the disorder and danger, hut they
eventually quieted down and awaited
their turns decorously.
incidents of the suicide.
The royal household are of tho opinion
that Dr. Gudden, finding bimsell unable
to prevent the King from committing sui
cide and witnessing the fatal act accom
plished, drowned himself.
Many visitors are attracted to the lake
shore, and the tree standing near the fatal
spot has been stripped of Its loaves to
serveas menieutoos of the tragedy.
One of the King's last remarks was: “1
can suffer deposition but will not outlive
the assertion that I am mad.”
Public discussions of the subject of the
King’s death are notably healed and pop
ular sympathy is with tbo Ring. Several
persons have been arrested for speaking
disrespectfully of Prince Luttpold and his
narty. Tho decision to hold secret de
bates In the chamber meets with much
disapproval. Queen Mary, mother of the
late King, is seriously 111. She bus not
yet been informed of her son’sdeatb.
The funeral will take place Saturday.
The fnueral mass will tie said in St.
Michael’s eburen. The chief celebrant
will be ArchblsboixSteicbele, v/ho will be
assisted by a large number of clergy.
DR. QUDDKN’R- INTERMENT.
The remains of Dr. Gudden, who was
drowned iu Lake Staraberg with King
Ludwig on Sunday night hist, were to-dav
interred in the Suburban cemetery. Tbe
funeral was attended by the Ministers ol
State and the students and professors of
tiie university, nnd wreaths were laid on
the grave on behalf of Prince Luitpold
and the medical faculty of tbe university.
Parliamentary circles are discussing
the point as to whether Prince Otto, the
heir presumptive to the throne, who is
known to be insane, ought not to be
passed over in favor of the next agnate.
BURNING OF A PACKING HOUSE.
Insurance Companies Interested to
the Turn of $300,000.
New Haven, Conn., June 16.—Sperry
& Barnes’ large provision and pork pack
ing house on Long Wharf took fire at 6
o’clock this morning.
Tbe fire started iu the building used for
storing empty tubs, and owing to the in
flammable nature of the mateiial it
spread rapidly. The entire fire depart
ment was present, but the water suppl)
was inadequate. Tbe fire was held
within tbe limits it had already covered,
fed by over 1,506 tierces of lard. The
flames from this seething caldron rose to
a height of at least a hundred feet. The
only apparent effeotof the many streams
of water poured on it was la float the
melted but not burning lard into olher
portions of the buildings, where it stands
a foot deep. Three firemen were over
come by the smoke. The loss can only be
approximated. Ten year* ago toe plaoe
was burned out and tbe loss was estimated
at $200,000. Then 100 men were employed.
Recently 350 men were employed, and the
loss will probably be much greater. A
large quantity of new and valuable ma
chinery was placed in tbe building on
Monday last. The firm will immediately
rebuild. There Is (3110.000 insurance dis
tributed among a large number of com
panies.

Gladstone himself has deolarcd
to be indispensable. The bill recently
rejected by Parliament in my opinion sat
isfted none of the conditions. Wo are not
assured that it will or can be recon
structed in such a manner us to remove
the objections of many ol those, even, who
voted for It. The measure is recom
mended as Just, and, more strongly, as
tbuouly means for tbu restoration of so
cial order in Ireland without resort to
stringent coercion.”
“My opinion is that it is a question less
of justice or right than of expediency. If
Ireland had oluiined independence then,
the question of justice or right might be
raised, but that claim is not now openly
asserted, and tbe government main
tains tbat under this measure Ireland
will remain an Integral part of
the kingdom. To require that tbe
people of Ireland should submit
to bo governed by a Parliament wherein
they arc fully represented, and whereby
they help to govern Great Britain, rua?
be inexpedient, but cannot be described
as unjust. Apart from tbe claims for
justice, however, It is not denied that
tbere exists in Ireland a general desire
for greater control ol her own affairs.
This desire, within certain limits, tho
Liberal party recognizes as a reasonable
claim. The question is, to wbat
extent can it safelv be conceded
by tho government. This measure re
served to the Knglish Parliament, wherein
Ireland was not to be represented, control
ot vital matters in which Irishmen are
equally interested with Kngilslimen and
Bcotcbmen, such as tbe conduct of colo
nial and foreign affairs, the regulation ot
trade, customs and excise duties, and at
> the same time intrusted to tbe
Irish Legislature practically exclusive
control of legislation upon the adminis
tration of laws affecting the relations of
property, the prevention ami punishment
of crime and tbe civil and religious rights
and liberties of tbe whole community. To
say that these are exclusively lilsb af
fairs and therefore may safely be entrust
ed to tbe management of the Irish is mis
leading. To reooncile the fact that the
Irish people arc widely divided Id dis
tinctions of race umi religion, is not Pi
import into the controversy elements of
religious bigotry. Not only Protestants
but many Catholics also regard the meas
ure with real alarm, to Ignore which is
an attempt to escape by specious phrases
from a proposed measure to protect land
lords, who arc only a small fraction.
Regarding the classes requiring protec
tion tbe Premier Is now silent. He
admitted that Ulster deserved considera
tion, but the protests of Ulster are ne
glected. Not a word in Mr. Gladstone’s
address Indicates any serious attempt to
satisfy the olaltns of the Protestant
minority. _I sm compelled, therefore, to
conclude that within the lines of tbe gov
ernment plan it is impossible to
doVlee adequate protection for
those who It Is admitted need
It. It Is easy to diumlss with contempt
the alternative plans suggested by those
who decline to acoept the separatist
scheme of tbe government, but who are
willing to concede reasonable demands.
The difficulties ere great. lam certainly
not prepared to commit myself to the de
tails of any of tbe plans proposed, but
oertaln conditions may be clearly
stated which are essential to any
plan. Parliament ought to ooutlmie
to represent tbe whole and not a pan of
the kingdom; powers which mar be non.
ferred upon subordinate local bodies
should bo delegated not surrendered; tbe
subjects delegated should be clearly de
fined and Hie right of I’urlluinent t<> con
trol nd revise tiie action of subordinate
IsglslHtlveand administrative suthorul**
should squally be clearly reserved, and I
lastly tbe administration of justice ought
to remain in tbs hands or authority rr
spomtibte to Parliament. It Is assorted
that such a limited measure would hot
satisfy Ireland, hut If a majority ol tbe
people of tbe United Kingdom distinctly
sod firmly declare that lbay will not as
■ >i.i to any measure which would lessen
tbu bonds of the union it, remain* to tie
unwed whether tbs Irish people ean
b* persuaded to maintain a hopeless
and unneAnsaary nrmtxst. Tbe alternative
•rheum* are dismissed without dtscus
sion. In order to show that coercion is
aot Um "ult alternative,nobody has advo
cated coercion as a policy, but there
is a point wiMirs any govern
ment may b* compelled to resort to
what tuay b* called coercion. Ta*
government msasui Is no altaruatlv* to ,
oovrutoa, because it I* certain that with- j
out coercion the Protestants of Ulster
would not submit to the authority w hich
it is proposed to im|Misc upon them.
Finally the question has been asked:
How are Kngiuud and Scotland to be gov
erned? An attempt has open made to
show that in tbu face of determined oppo
sition nearly 90 Irish members supported a
large oumberof Knglish and Scotch mem
bers. This problem is imiiosaiWe of so
lution. If this is so, it Is not a question
for argument, but a simple surrender of
full representation. A Parliament, freely
conceded to Ireland must be comVßional
on their exercise of its privileges In a
manner compatible with efficiency, digni
ty,anil even tbe existence of parliamentary
institutions. The manifest determination
to destroy or cripple those institutions is
ns clearly rebellion against the constitu
tion as open resistance to the crown, it
will bo our duty to defend Parliament
from Internal attacks as onr predecessors
defended It. from external aggressions of
arbitrary power.”

WHAT A HTKIKH COST.
Nearly a Million Ismi on the New
York Street Car Troubles.
New Yoke, June 16.—Figures showing
the cost of tho strike on the Third Ave
nue street car line are interesting. Tho
losses of tbe men, the companies and
others combined foot up about $1,000,000.
During tbe general tie-ups 8,470 men were
out. W hon tbe strike began nine weeks
ago there were employed by tbe Third
Avenue Company 1,660 men. This In
cluded the tuen of the cable road on Tenth
avenue, the line on One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street and the Grand Central
Depot line. It Is said to be a safe esti
mate to average the earnings of these
men at $2 a day. Thus their net loss In
wages during each day of tbe strike has
been $.1,300, or $23,100 each week. They
have now been out nine weens. Thus
their total loss in wages up to date is
$207,900.
Another element of loss to the working
classes in connection with these two
tie-ups was the cost to employes, particu
larly those living In Brooklyn, who were
kept from their work from one to several
hours because of the lack of traveling
facilities. To piece workers this was a
costly delay, and tbe loss Involved to tho
wage workers must have boon at least
SIO,OOOfor tho two days. Au item ol cost
because of the strike is also found in the
loss to the tradespeople because of tbe
economy that has become neces
sary. This is at least 10 per
cent, of the amount of wages
lost to the ThlrdA venue men, or $20,000.
The Third Avenue Company estimate
tbeir total loss tmeause of tho strike at
overs2oo,ooo. Wliatihetwo days tie up
cost, the other roads from tbe cessation of
traffic, deducting the motiay they saved by
the men being absent, is carefully esti
mated at $600,000.
