As owner of two 3common grist mills here for a. score 0-! years. this has been my experience and it is my personal knowledge as to the habits of the people. whose poverty and not their will makes them eat corn. Corn is So well suit- ed to the southern climateend the common methods of culture of all the land through the South, ‘t‘hat it is the easiest grain to be grown: and it is useless to try and introduce letter grains. for these will not make grain enough to feed the people WM the same small quantity of labor : and they do not produce the rough- ness for the Cows or horses or mules that corn does. The negro and the poor white. the mule and the corn crop go tOgether.-nnd on this ac- count it is a’nd will be impossible to make corn enters of any European nation. exCept as it now happens '60 those poor people of southeastern Europe, who are the corn-growers and consumers of the whole world. “outside“ at them Butt-rand countries south of them. under and has since been known as the Irish. lever. , It was a; typhoid cohdition‘. due to the most abject povertyxta'rr- vation and want of all sanitarvd conditions. ‘And ”while" the whofe people of the southwest of Ireland ’were actually dying of Star-Vation. yet not one man. 'mn or #16 ‘could be induced to eat a mouthful of the great quantities of corn meal sent row the United States. The oondi ion msy‘be'eusily understood rby the fact that the population of Ireland was reduced from eight mil- lions of hungry‘ people to six mil- ,lions in two‘years 2 And in spite of the undescribeble misery existing. the ‘corn meal sent by the United States fund cooked for example by the Am- Lericau students and others knowing Lol our ways. was refused. and went tto teed the pigs. In fact. it was rtumed to the disadvantage of the American people. that they sent hog feed for the poor Irish. with the in- evitable deduction from the supposed fact. In 1848 I Wu: in Put-is, at the Mal-I ical School of the Institw of mnce' whence! Iuent with soflb other 'stuâ€" t’cnts to Inland, to fiist 154'.th 'hg the disasfirous outbreak of what THIS MAN SAYS CORN MEAL IS NOT FIT FOR PEOPLE TO EAT as} the 'nmy results of simil condition. It is a wrong thing to do to try to make Europeans think that. maize is one of our staple household food- stuffs. It is not the fact ; and the excited avidity which marks the eag- er southern manâ€"supposed to be an eater solely of the sour dough hoeâ€" cakeâ€"witlh which he will exchange his corn meal for rye flour. at twice the value, goes to show that it is his poverty and not. his will. which consents in his case to feed on the cron he grows. for want' of oppor- tunity or ability to grow any other grain crops. So it has been since. I have since seen American stores supplied by the American government in se European countries. especially in 1855, when I _was all through E:- rope, and we 'have had information of them since. as we know, of con- tinuous efl'orts to popularize the use “of our corn. “aliment de cochon" (hog food), as it is called by the people. by establishing shops for the giving away of the meal, and the bread and cakes made of it in the most enticing of our ways. But all in vain. The coarseness pf the gritty meal is not improved by cooking. and its added indigestibil'ity. both together. go to cause intestinal dis- turbance. which. in the case of the Irish in 184“. helped to the‘denth of thousand by the cholera that prevail- ed. And That it is Wrong to Make Europeans Think Americans Like “â€"81“ They Do Mr. Dodge exhibits his well-known good sense and wisdom in making his protest against. any repetition o ‘ this folly. which goes to encourage the popular idea existing very wide-1 ly in European countries that we are not yet a civilized people, but still live and feed along with our swine, eating the same food ; and so at the start of such a mistaken eaten- prise stop all success by pandering to such popular ignorance by which we are thought\ to be full counter- parts to those worse than foolish il- lustrations of What our degraded new mun”: nut off on the world as aoâ€" A writer “M. J.” in The Country Gentleman says of corn meal : It is used by the poorest o! the southern people \of the farms as the sour dough cake, baked on the\ hot stone hearth and covered with hot ashes, it is true. But it is a. fraud to make Europeans think corn is our staple bread grain. It, is, in fact, used only under the strictest um. sity, and for absolute want of any other grain. we are thought- to be full counterâ€" parts to those worse than foolish ilâ€" lustrations of what our degn'aded new spapers put 06 on the world as aoâ€" curate pictures ‘of what they call Uncle Sam. We ought in justice to this kind of portraiture of ourselves to put‘von a monstrous hoe cake fresh from the ashes of the back- woods cabin fire, as a sample of the actual feeding of this most prepos- terousb7 foolish and really outrag- eous parody on the American man, whose food and daily bread might be justly supposed to be the coarse; in- digestible, really uneatable corn bread."
