Trust Attorney Speaks.

lIQSI Attorney SPSdhS-
Thereupon the subject was taken up
by Junius Parker, general counsel FOR
the American Tobacco Company, as the
trust is called. He argued that as the
law had not been changed since It's
adoption in 1865, II should not be altered
nov. He declared that the express pur-
pose of the change was TO make II less
easv TO determine whether cigars were
Imported or domestic. and 1t would IN
doubtedly make frauds easier.
! b. Cobb. vice president Of the Amer
fcan Tobacco Company. said that it was
a mistake to suppose that his company
was only interested In imported cigars.
He said the proposed change would in
jure the trade, and consumer, and woulo
mean a loss Of at least SLOCO.OOO a year
10 the Government in revenues. because
there would be more domestic cigars
sold than imported cigars.
Mr.. Wise said that the stamp Is sign
OF alleged superiority, and. therefore
worked a discrimination against Amer
tcan manufacturers Of Havana cigars.
lie said that POrtOr Rlcan cigars, no
matter how vile they might be. were
sold by the million SO long as they bore
the import stamp. but as soon as Inal
stamp was removed, the sale fell on -
per cent. This showed that people were
buying the cigars, not as "A matter OF
taste. but were merely buying the
stamp.
Gompers Upholds Labor.
Samuel Gompers, representing the
Cigarmakers' international Union. point
ed out that cigars were the only thing
upon which an import stamp IS required
and it's righteousness worked an in
justice 70 the American makers. They
only asked that foreign cigars be made
20 stand on their merits with the Amer
lean cigars
Mr. Taylor called attention TO the fact
that the Btngley tariff law required q
conspicuous stamp on imported ar
ticles. and announced that ne would ask
for a legal opinion as TO whether that
applied 70 cigars.
Point Scored by Gompers.
III you can make this stamp SO in
conspicuous that It can't be seen. then
you won't have so much rehning Of
boxes" commented Mr.. Parker.
Then it's "A good argument I'm favor
Of II. isn't it?" quickly inquired Mr..
Gompers. 1t would reduce the law
! breaking act Of rehlling"
Mr.. Wise asked whether labelling each
! cigar was not the best means Of break
| ing up substitution.
Mr.. Parker admitted this and said his
company was using band labels for that
purpose.
Representative Payne's Idea.
Mr. Armstrong said that the first idea
OF making the change had come TO him
from Representative Serene e. Payne.
chairman Of the House Ways and
Means Committee, who had indicated
his belief that the import stamp should
be abolished or made less conspicuous

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails. and when the air is
excluded the germ is rousad to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be des-
troyed and all danger of Iockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain'S
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an anti
septic and causes such injuries to heal
without maturation and in One-third
time required by the usual treat
ment. It is for sale by j. E.. DAILY
