How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when SO many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of a cold or la grippe to
result in that dangerous disease. It
is the best remedy in the world for
bad colds and la grippe. Every
bottle warranted. For sale at Mat
thaei' Pharmacy.

One Of the axioms of Protection is
that it not only increases business
and brings prosperity, but it also re-
duces the price of any commodity to
which it is applied. The latest in
stance is that of tea. The War Reve-
Tue law imposes duty of 10 cents a
pound, yet tea is no dearer and is of
better quality. Shortly after the
close OF the Civil War the duty was
removed from coffee on the plea that
the people should have cheaper coffee,
but coffee did not cheaper. The for
eigner imposed an export tax and we
paid the same old price. Sugar is
now taxed cents pound yet is but
a fraction of cent higher than under
Free Trade.

Bryan's ignorance.

The ignorance of William J. Bryan
on matters of American politics and
history has often been noticed but it
has seldom been brought out so plain
ly as it is in his assertion that "if the
gold standard should be established
general bankruptcy would soon fol-
low" The gold standard was in OPP
Grafton at the time he was talking
What was virtually the gold standard
was established by the coinage act of
1884, which was championed by Ben
ton, Jackson and all the other Demo-
cratic chieftains of that day, and that
standard remained in operation until
the suspension of specie payments at
the beginning of 1862, owing to the
pressure of the war.
What is absolutely the gold stand
ard was established. on January 1,
1870, when gold payments were re-
sumed by the treasury. The standard
has been in operation ever since.
Bryan's party opposed the gold re-
sumption act, but it was carried by
the Republicans, and Republican
President, Ulysses S. Grant, signed
it. Many assaults were made upon
it by Bryan party between the time
OF its enactment and the date, four
years later, when it went into effect,
but the Republicans defended it, and
a Republican President, Rutherford
B. Hayes put it in such prompt and
successful operation that the fact of
its existence became instantly and
emphatically evident to the world.
The gold standard has been in such
manifest and vigorous operation for
the past twenty years tt at it has re-
sisted the annual assaults of the DEM
ocrats, and it is now stronger, than
ever before Bryan himself attacked
it in 1906, with such disastrous con.
sequences to himself that he will have
fewer persons on his side in 1900 if
he again decides to test the matter.
1t is the gold standard which is in
existence now, and no mere imita-
ton. The streams of capital which
are flowing into the country, and the
hustle OF business activity which is
heard from Maine to California, and
from Florida to Oregon, leave no
doubt on this point. With the vast
increase which has come in all fields
OF business there is large falling of
in the number and the amount of the
commercial failures. Fewer idle men
are in the country now than were ev
er known before, and there is great
er degree of pros perity than was ever
in the past. The gold
standard is here, it will remain here,
and this is the sort of general bank
ruptcy" which it has brought st

COTTON GOING UP.

Cotton went up to seven and half
cents Saturday Not a pound ought to
have been sold for less than eight cents.
II is worth it and it is a pity that the
farmers could not have held their crops
for the rise Many have sold most of
their crop for less than it was worth
Their necessities forced them to part
with it at price forced down by
NELL q Co. Still many farmers did
hold until they got in the neigh
borhood of seven cents and those
who continue to hold will probably get
eight cents. If the farmers could have
realized the true value of their cotton,
they would have S100,000000 more for
the crop than a few years ago.
In their weekly letter, Price, McCor-
mick & Co., say the past week has been

strange that the trade should ignore such

longer must necessarily result in sharp

COTTON MILL DEDICATION.

When the mill number FIVE of the Odell
Cotton Manufacturing Company of
Concord, was ready to start last week,
it was dedicated to God with appropriate
religious services, conducted by Rev. j.
d. Arnold. after which Capt. j. NJ.
Odell, president of the company stepped
forward and turned the throttle of the
wheel when without creak or jar the
ponderous engine moved with grace and
apparent consciousness of it's immense
power"
Why should not our great industrial
plants commence their good work with
religious exercises? Their mission is to
help men to helRmthemselves- the best
sort of charity or help-and 10 add to
the blessing and comforts of mankind.
They are dependent for success upon the
hand that created the universe and sus-
tains all His creatures and it seems
fitting that in this material age men
should have such object lessons of de-
pendence upon Him who is the pres
erver as He is the creator of the world
