Minority Leaders, View of the
Tariff Bill

In reply to what he terms ''the mis-
representation of Democrats in the
papers," Champ Clark, leader of the
minority in the House of Representa-
tives has given out a statement re-
garding the course of the Democratic
members of the House in connection
with the consideration of the Payne
tariff bill. He said:
1.-THE old saying that habit is second
nature was never more strikingly illus
trated than by the fact that many ncws
papers-generally Republican OF near

mOuthing about the discussions among
House DEMOCRATS and the perfect unity

Gratis came out of The tariff fight more
thoroughly united Oh that question than
they have been in a generation and the
Republicans come out OF it worse scat
tered than ever before
"Now mark how plain a 'ale will put
them down. Upon my motion last
spring to recommit the Payne bill with
instructions-wtlich instructions con
stitute a comprehensive Democratic
platform so far as the tariff is con
cerned-all Democrats voted for it
except four. On the Payne bill itself,
voted on Immediately after my motion
TO recommit WAS defeated, tt e Re-
publicanS lost one vote and the
Democrats lost four, a net loss

nearly unanimous Democratic vote
than has been cas on a tariff bill in a
generation
"True, that Oh some of the items a

Cost OF Industrial Life Insurance Further
Reduced by The Prudential.
GREAT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY yOLUN.
TARILY ADDS OVER $40, 900, 900 IN AID
DIToNAL BENEFITS TO INDUS
TRIAL POLICIES.

TO INDUS
TRIAL POLICIES.
Voluntary concessions a~ggregating over
$50, 600 900 additional benefits to Indus
trial policies all ready in force, and in
creasing the amount of benefits to all SIM
liar policies issued after July LIST, briefly
states the effect of an important and far
reaching announcement just made by The
Prudential Insurance Company through
President John.F. Dryden.
Fol years it has been the practice of The
Prudential TO add to the benefits already
granted to the policyholders, giving more
insurance than the contracts called for
whenever experience has demonstrated
that it could safely be done. The con.
slant aim of the officers of the Prudential
is to give the most and the best for the
least. Close and careful study is given
every feature of the company's great
business. The gains made in different
department each year, the earning power
OF the c%ompany's assets, decrease in NOR
tality, ETC., as compared with what was
expected. are all carefully scrutinized. In
this way The Prudential is able from time
to time to grant increased benefits to policy
holders, giving them the ad Vantage obtain
ed through these savings, even though no
legal obligation go to do exist under the
policy contracts.
According to the announcement lust
made, on all Industrial policies issued after
July LIST the benefits will be increased bv
an amount averaging more than ten per
cent, thus giving all new Industrial p%olicy-
holders more insurance for less money than
eyer hitherto granted.
In furtherance of this liberal practice
The Prudential has also made these con-
cessions retroactive-that is, applicable to
similar policies issued since the beginning
OF the year 1907 and in force on LIST of july
of this year, thus enabling holders of old
policies to share in the increased benefits
granted to the new.
1t is to be remembered that The Pm.
Dental issued these policies upon the non
participating plan and that there was no
obligation whatever to pay one dollar Of
benefit In excess of the amounts called for
under the contracts, and that these CON
cessions have been entirely voluntary and
were extended by the company in it's usual
spirit of literally and fairness to policy
holders.
The Prudential has already made vol.
untary concessions to its Industrial policy.
holders, amounting to more than SIT .O00
GOO, and this retroactive feature OF its new
liberal benefits will add over 100000 .OO0
more to this remarkable sum, not TO SNEAK
OF the many, many millions more that will
ensue TO prospective policyholders.
