The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used TO protect the children. A child
is much more likely to contract diph-
liberia or scarlet fever when he has a
cold. The quicker you cure his cold the
less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the sole reliance of many
mothers. and few Of those who have
tried it are willing to use any other.
Mrs. F. F. Starcher. of Ripley. w. Va,
says. 81 have never used ANYTHING
other than Chamberlain s Cough Rene
dy for my children and il has always
given good satisfaction. This remedy
contains no opium or other narcotic and
may be given as confidently TO child
as TO an adult. For sale by p. d. Cot
tingham & Co.

Beware OF Frequent Colds.

A succession of colds or a protracted
cold is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh, from which few persons ever
wholly recover. Give every cold the
attention il deserves and you may avoid
this disagreeable disease. How can
you cure cold ? Why not try Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy ? 1t is highly
recommended. Mrs. M. White, of But
Ter, Tenn, says Several years ago
was bothered with my throat and lungs.
Someone told me of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. | began using it and
il relieved me at once. used il for some
time and il cured me. Now my throat
and lungs are sound and well" For

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

UiSlONI NEFLAIS IlSLLi.
Since the election the extent
of the popular movement for
tariff reform has manifested
itself in a clearer light. Manu-
facturers of intelligence and
liberality who were silent dur
ing the campaign are coming
out by scores in favor of repeal
or substantial reduction of
duties for their alleged protec-
ton. History repeats itself
The movement in this country
resembles in some important
features the great contest in
England more than a half CEN
fury ago. which ended in repeal
of the Corn Laws. Manufacture
ers of Manchester, Birming-
ham, Leeds and other industrial
centers declared that they were
ready to cope with all corners
IN the worlds markets if the
vexations duties on their ma
terials of production were re-
moved. This was done, and
British industries and com
merce took a flight that amazed
the other nations of Europe.
Gladstone himself. originally a
Protectlonist and stand-patter,
afterward testified to the extent
of the task in getting rid of
these protective duties until the
work was finally crowned un-
der the great leadership of Sir
Robert Peel with the establish
ment of what goes by courtesy
under the name of British Free
Trade. Such was the prosper
ity following the change in the
economic system of England
wrought by such agitators as
Richard Golden, Daniel O'Con
nell and John Bright. that the
Tories struggled in vain for ten
years TO create a protectionist
reaction, and finally gave it up
in despair.
1t would be extremely rash to
conceive that we are in sight of
such a revolution. through the
country is far better prepared
for it than was industrial Eng
land fifty years ago. But the
world is moving upward and
onward. Party organs and
politicians have done their worst
to retard the movement for re-
form of the Dingley tariff. Poll
ticians who have preached foi
years that a high protective
tariff is essential to the orderly
evolution of the universe have
not been slow to catch the
popular sentiment. We have
already cited with unfeigned
pleasure certain significant
hints in favor of a tariff for
revenue from Chairman Payne
and other stand patters, who
have hitherto been deemed as
void of receptivity as a grind
stone. But they are coming
around. How far they will
come around will depend on
the people themselves. If the
people hesitate and halt, the
coming revision of the tariff
will be nothing more than a
botch job OF Congressional
legislation retarding a genuine
reform for years TO come. Phil
adelphia Record.

PANIC HAS PURIFIED
BUSINESS ATMOSPHERE
CIews Says Banks and Trust COM
panies Are Free from UnsouHd,
Dishonest Management and
Speculation

Henry Clews banker, New York, in an ad-
dress delivered at the annual banquet of the
National Association Of Cotton Manufactur-
ers in Boston on April 49, said fratIaa
Now that the storm of the crisis has passed
away. and the investigation and prosecutions
that have taken place have laid bare the cor
porate evils that were rife among us. including
railway rate rebating and various forms of
looting and wholesale graft by controlling capl-
talsts, have come into purer business
atmosphere Corrupt, plundering and law
breaking officers of banks and railway, insur-
and other large corporations have, in
many cases, been exposed and shown the error
of their ways, and we have in consequence a
higher business morality than we had before
we passed through this ordeal of publication.
In other words, the house cleaning have
had has done us good, and this of itself is a
compensation that can hardly be overrated ia
its future influence.
Banks and trust companies and railways.
insurance an1 other corporations have been
freed from much unsound and dishonest man
agement, and also loose, grating and specu-
lative practices, and we have in their place
that higher moral tone which is safeguarded
by greater publicity of accounts and more rigid
official examinations under the new and stricter
laws than before.
Thus temptation to chicanery and other
porate wrongs and abuses by those in control
of corporations is largely reduced and this is
important. for an old proverb tells us that
opportunity makes the thief

RAINS ARE RECEIVED
AS HERALD OF PLENTY
REJOICING PREVAILS AMONG
PRODUCE MEN
Strawberry Crop May Receive Set-
back, but Vegetables and Grains
Are Benefited-Local Mar
ket Is Active

The rains which fell over Southern Cali
fornia yesterday were received by the pro-
duce men the herald of plenty ana gen
eral rejoicing prevailed on the eAehanse
and in the market.
Vegetables and bunch stun mad been es-
pecally affected by the dry spell. Ihe tur-
nip crop in bad shape, acre after acre
having gone to seed before the vegetable
had reached maturity.
Barley. corn oats and wheat were great
ly in need of rain and the crops were
threatened with disaster. Reports from
every part of the state are that the ram
was timely and that ample crops are now
assured However, more rain would not De
amiss and ranchers are hoping that they
will be further blessed.
The demand for produce was good yester-
day and the market was well supplied.
Trading on the exchange was active
Eggs were weak but 1t is expected that a
firm tone will prevail as resulta OF tho
rains.
Butter was firm but the effect of the rains
upon pasturage will doubtless cause larger
receipts and consequently weakness in the
market.
The strawberry crop is liable to receive
temporary setback on account OF the rams
with corresponding falling off in receipts.
The market was well supplied yesterday
and the demand was good.
The fruit market was rather dull Flsh
were scarce and the demand was light
