A Home Made Happy by
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

About two months ago our baby girl
had measels which settled on her lungs
and at last resulted in severe attact of
bronchitis. We had two doctors but no
relief was obtained. Everybody
thought she would die. I went to eight
different stores to find a certain remedy
which had been recommended to me and
T failed to get it, when one Of the store
keepers insisted that try Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I did so and our baby
is alive and well today.-Geo. W.

DEATH BENEFIT FOR
TOBACCO EMPLOYEES
BIackWeIPs Durham Tobacco co. Will
Pay Generous Sums to Bene.
ficiaries of Workmen.

The Blackwell's Durham Tobacco
Co., manufacturers of the we'll known
Durham Bull Tobacco, has informed
it's employees that it will hereafter
pay a death benefit to the beneficiary
of any person in it's service who does
not draw more than $50 a week in
wages. The most important features
of the plan is embodied in the follow
ing paragraph taken from the an
nouncement;
stUpon proof of the death of any
person in the employment of this
company who shall have been con-
tinuously in it's service for at least
one year proceeding his or her death,
and whose wages do not at that date
exceed fifty dollar per week, the
Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Com
pany will donate in cash to the person
previously designated by such en-
ployee the sum of money equal to the
wages paid to such dead employee of
this company during the last year of
his or her life, not exceeding, how
ever, in any case the sum of five hum
dred dollars
Mr.. Fletcher, Comptroller of the
Company, in an interview with re.
porter recently said:
"We have followed the lead of tt g
American Tobacco Co., in establish
ing a death benefit fund for our work
men because we believe the scheme
to be good one and worthy of adop-
ton In our employ are quite anum-
Der of persons who have worked for
US for many years. They have rem
dered faithful service and by giving
them this insurance we hope to make
them feel that we appreciate their
efforts. Among the younger employ
ees the death benefit will be regarded
as strong inducement for them to
continue from year to year in our
factories.
''Of course the expense will be
large, but we consider that it will be
money we'll invested. AS there are
no strings to our offer, and no fees of
any kind to be paid by our employees,
we cannot be accused of trying to
pose as philanthropist at their ex-
pense. The benefits will be paid with
out contest and without delay on proof
of DEATH"

length, l cannot permit this opportun-
ity to pass without expressing the
opinion that the principle embodied in
the protective tariff has been a fruit
rul source OF a great deal Of corrup-
ton as well as the support of many OF
our inequitous trusts. 1t is difficult to
condemn the manufacturers for unit
Ing to take advantage Of a high sched
ule when the schedule Is framed on the
theories that the industries need all
the protection given and 1t Is not likely
that the beneficiaries of these sched-
ules will consent to their reduction so
long as the public waits for the tariff
to be reformed by its friends.
But one Of the worst features of the
tariff levied not for revenue, but for
the avowed purpose Of protection is
that 1t fosters the idea that men should
use their votes to advance their own
financial interests. The manufacturer
has said that 1t Is legitimate, for him
to vote for congressman who, whatev-
er their opinions on other subjects
may be. will legislate large dividends
IN his pockets; sheepgrowers have
been encouraged to believe that they
should have no higher aim in voting
than to raise the price of wool: and
laboring men have been urged to make
their wages their only consideration.
FOR a generation the fat has been
fried out Of the manufacturers by the
republican congressional committee.
and then the manufacturers have been
reimbursed by legislation.
