editorially of popular patent medi-
cine: "We know from experience that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy is all that is claimed
for it, as on two occasion it stopped ex
cruciating pains and possibly saved US

directors OF the American Tobacco Com
pany: William H. Butler. william A. Mar
burg, Lewis Ginter. George Arents.
George W. Gail. Benjamin n. Duke,
George W. Watts, Josiah Browne, and

are charged with conducting a trust mo-
nopoy. The alleged offence Is mis-
demeanor. punishable on conviction with

or both.
The men have not been arrested, but
were notified TO appear in Part l., Gene
raj Sessions, tomorrow, to plead to the
Indictment
The evidence in the case was presented
by the National Cigarette and Tobacco
Company, otherwise known as the nd
mral Cigarette Manufacturers"
According 10 the evidence presented, IL
is alleged that in April 1889. a number
OF the most prominent cigarette manu-
facturers met and agreed on a comblna-
ton 70 control and fix the price of paper
cigarettes at a certain figure. AS con-
slderation Of the project gave rise to the
thought that the combination might be
illegal. it was decided 20 drop the COM
bnation and proceed on different lines.
So, in October OF the same year. the
American Tobacco Company" a corpora
tion, was formed under the laws OF New
Jersey. After the formation of this cor
poration, 1t Is alleged, they began TO do
business, and had practically monopoly
OF the trade.
The accused constitute what is known
as the Cigarette Trust"

labor, should be paid In money OF the
greatest intrinsic value, and or tht
highest standard adopted by the cVl'
lized nations Of the world. We are
therefore. unalterably opposed 10 al
devices and schemes for the debasemen'
OF our currency.
I'VE believe that tne feuerdl poN'ih
ment should be divorced from the busi'
ness Of banking. We, therefore de-
mand the repeal OF all laws authorizing
the issue or reissue Of legal-tender oi
Urea sury-notes by the government; they
should form no part Of the currency o.
