I'OISONED SUGAR. 70 iha Bsttor of The Tribune, Lake Fonrest, Sept. 7.—Thero are those who heve s far better knuwledge, and could Impart mora extensive and accurate informatlon in ve- lation ta this class of goods than the writer; and {t would cerialnly be desirable that they shoulil volunteer to do so. If they will not, porhaps the reader will accept the amall amount. of information we may be able to impart. Halt a luaf {8 usually consldered batter than none, In discussing brown or yellow sugars they may be classed under five heads: First, New Orleaus plantatfon; second, West India; third, mixed; fourth, coffee; and flfth,molassessucars, Litde nced be sald in telation to the first class of goods, tor they have aliways been con- sfiered a healthful article. Of Iate, however, the planters have adopted the practice, to some extent, of chemlealization, but whether with anything pernfddous to health s more than the writer cun say, DBisulphate of lime is one of ihe rengents used, but most chemists and ph(y- siclans would pronounce that harmless, “The probabllity 1s that that kind of guods continucs 0 be a sofe aud healthful article, Hut coffve sugars invo_ 50 far supplemented them thnt they cannot be found to any great extent in the Chicago market. A wholesale dealer remarked, o few days since, that he dld nat suppose that & pound of It could be found fn Chicago at the present - thne, but that it conld be obtained later In the fall, If any one were to purchase an artiele purporting to be such, he might bo mis- taken, I;ur they 8o nearly resemble the colfea sugars that few of the consumers can distin- guish one from the otlier, ‘The gecond clags—West Indla—bave s good a reputation for healthfulness as the first. The planters on the fslands are also sald to have adopted chemicalization to some extent. If a0, it is yet to be proved tlat they uso anything which would prove Injurlous to the consumer, Yew of these sugars, however, {ind thelr way nto the Western market. The fiuty on thubest grades {s high, and, consequently, very few of that class aro finported luto tho Unfted States, ‘The duty on the poorer goods {8 ll;Eht, and thoy are very extensively ftnported, ave bought up by the reilners, ndulterated by some with grape suggr, and clientdcalized, so that they aro bright- erand have a mora lnvmn[i n&peunnuc thanthe best grades of raw West India sugar, and aro sold at a Jess price. - Most consumers are In the habit of judging of an article more by ita appearance than by its in- trinste value. The great wmajority would select the coffec-suear, which &)leuu tho eyo, in pref- erence to tho West Indln raw article, whlch hins the greatest amount of saccharine matter, and R by far the most heaithful, and conse- quently most profitable. Under such circum- stances, it 18 not strango that, rnbnb‘r, not over one or two of the wholcsale dealers (n Chleago pretend to keep it, und they fnd the sales very slow, ‘Flie third class arc n mixturo of mofst planta- tlon with molnsscs styrars. The latter beln . muth drier {mprove tho former when mixes with them. This is a frequent practico with the dealers. If there fs anvthing objectionable fn molasses sugars, then the same objection would rest against the mixed goods. ‘The” fourth class are the *’nllow coffee. As fow cxcept those immedistely connected with the refiners know Low thoy are made, it is not ossible to do much more than make coujoe- ures, bused on clreumstantial evidence. Ono thing 18 certain, that chemleal discovaries have cnabled the refluers to _take the poorest grades of eugars, and remodel them, 80 that the con- sumer will fmagine tht he bs purchasing a flrst- clnss article. T'his, of course, I8 accomplished by, the uso of chemlieals, But what are they, s the question? Doubtless some use tuose which arc more objectionalic than others. Possibly some, who buy ouly tho better class of raw sugars, can refluo thiem by chemicals swhich aro perfectly hanmless. My experience with yellow coffee has by no means been favorablo, A wholusale dealer fnformed mo that somo of Ihe refiners use sulphur quite extenslyely for bleaching the sugar. They buy a low grade of the raw article, aud by sulphur and slmflar rengents clavify it so that it appears to the customer equal to that which Is made from a better clnss of raw ang’x:n, and which have less aud s more healthful kind of chemiealization, But, supposing they do usa Aul{‘mur, it 1s not certain that the chemist would be able to detect it. ‘They have modes of neutraliziug most, aud perhaps all, of the chemicals used, so that they caunot be discovered. Nevertheless, it canuot be otherwise than that the genernl character of the sugar should becowme deterlorated, ayd rendereid perniclous by this repeated applieation of chewmicals one after the other. f there are sufliclent chemicals in any alt- mentary substance, so that persons in ordinar health are made sick by them, then unalysi would undoubtedly show ft. For fustance, a barrel of slrup was gold lately which caused vomitiog and purging fn overy one who used it Wo canuot doudt that the chewfst could pofnt out - tha pre- ciso chemical which produced that result. But it {s different In the caso of those articles swhich, by o continuous use of them, produce o marked “effect only on scnsltive invalide, espo- clally whero the most skilfful scfentific fnvesti- Entions have been applied to ucutralizo or con- ceal the polson they may contaln, By repeated chemlealizatlon, firat for the purpose of clarifl- ¢ation, and, second, to antidoto tho firat class of themleals, the goods themselves aro deterlo- rated so 03 to become decidedly pernicious to thoge who are already tnvallds, aud gradually bring num‘y who enjoy ordinary ‘iealth $nto the #amao condftion. The'effect of the chemicals on the sugars may become manifest in thelr use, though the ciuse of such effect muy bo hidden from ylew. The yellow colfcc supurs are prob- sbly sduiterated with the starch grape sugur as much 23 the white. The fifth class of sugars s the molassos. This 1s mads by changing the latter into the former by some process to us unknown. Now, every one that- has bolled molasses kaows thiat 1t emnnot be tramsformed into sugar by heat alone, Bolling will mako randy, but will not rroduca a grained sugar, Therefore we can only infer that it must be fons by the uld of'one or more chemicals, Tlie manufacturers have not volunteered to tell us what they arc, and it they bave succeeded neutralizing them as they have {n other sugars, Lhechemlst cannot by analysis deternine them, Soine kinds of molusses make a poor and fine- gralned sugar, Others will ;ugke an excellent- Enln:d wrticle, which eanbe refined foto the ighier grades of white sugne. The writer hus bad but Hitlé experfence with this class of goods. When used § coused pain in the all- mentary orguns, though not as suyers as éome of tho coffee sugars. Molasses, when tranaformed iutorefined sugar, must passthroughtwoor mors processes of chendcallzation. — First, when chapged from molasses fnto brown sugar, sece oud when bleachied futo white sugar, aud third ths neutralization of these chemicals, Will suy deem it o matter of linprobability that sugar, after passing through thess pro- veases, should becume deterlorsted so as to prove perniclous to health, even though the chemtcals should be neutralized so that they could not bo detected by analyalsy L.
