Are your children subject to Group
If so, you should never be without a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is a certain cure for Group, and has
never been known to fail. If given
freely as soon as the croupy cough ap-
pears it will prevent the attack. 1t is
the sole reliance with thousands of
mothers who have croupy children,
and never disappoints them. There is
no danger In giving the Remedy in
large and frequent doses, as it contains

the meeting to order. The rules and

come. Resolutions were made and
referred to committees for adoption.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

THE CLARION has always been opposed to
class legislation, and 1t Is doubly opposed
to the giving of a bounty to the sugar plan
tiers. 1t is simply robbing Peter to pay Paul,
and in the end will result disastrously.
In our opinion, and we are sure it is cor
rect, the sugar bounty act was passed sim
ply to gain political capital for certain In
dfviduals. This in itself should cause the
people to denounce such. legislation, and
cast their ballots for men who are averse to
the passing of such laws.
Just think of 1t. A man makes so
many pounds of sugar, and he gets FIVE
cents fsay) pound for it, and in addition
the government pays him two cents pound
as bounty. For instance, a man produces
SOC, 900 pounds of sugar; he sells 1t at cents,
and his gross profits amount to s25, ,o0o On
this he gets two cents a pound, or $4,000.
TO raise this sugar it will about cost him
SIC, 900, or the amount he receives as bounty
from the government His s25, 900 is then
clear proft-that is to say, the government
pays the cost of raising, and the land own
er, who really does nothing, pockets the
profits.
The men who had this law passed We're
southerners, no doubt, and their object in
doing so was simply to gain prestige.
Northerners who helped the cause OF rob-
berry did so for the same reason-that Is,
their Infamous work on the sugar bounty
secured the Southerners' aid in the infamous
work that would help them along on the
road to glory.
But there is no glory in this, and everyone
knows 1t. We may be burdened by such
laws for long time, but they will be re-
pealed eventually. Monopolies have power,
but it is derived from money, and when the
voters set themselves to work to destroy
this power they will succeed beyond
doubt.

Train robber stock seems to be be-
low par at present. Last week an
attempt was made to rob an Illinois
Central train at Centralia, Ill. The
robbers were beaten off and finally
captured through the efforts of two
nervy passengers who were travelling
ON the train. Last Tuesday morniug
six knights of the road undertook to
hold up a train ON the Kansas City,
st. Joseph and Council Bluffs road,
near st. Joe., Mo. Instead of
gold mine they found in the express
ear a score of uniformed conseryators
of the law. When the robbers con-
fronted the guns of tie officers, they
were invited to elevate their arms,
This they declined to do and opened
fire on the officers. The fire was
promptly returned and two of the
gang were killed and three captured.
The sixth one escaped.
