Mr. D. M. Parry, ex-presldent of the National Association of Manufacturers and a prominent republican and manufac turer of Indiana, in reply to a letter ium d0 w. ivern, democratic nom inee for vice president, today an nounced himself as opposed to the posting of so-called prosperity pla cards in factories in behalf of Taft's election and against ''business scares" gotten up for political effect, ihe correspondence is as follows: Mr. Kern's Letter Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 27, 1908. -The Hon. D. M. Parry, President Parry Manufacturing Company. My Dear Mr. Parry: I am enclosing a newspaper clipping which reports the posting of so-called "prosperity placards' in manufacturing estab lishments over the country, and I am interested in learning how the dis tinguished ex-president of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers D. M. Parry, stands on this proposi tion of beguiling, or coercing, the workmen of the factories to vote the ticket of a party which many believe has become the party of the tarif fed trusts, rather than a party of the people. You will note that these placards read to the effect that "on the day after the election of Taft and Sherman this factory will start up in full force." The intent of the placards is obviously to frighten tho public, as well as the employes di rectly affected, into a belief that the success of the democratic party would work injury to business and industrial interests. I, of course, re sent as entirely unjust an attempt to place such an imputation on the democratic party, and I Inust pre sume that the factory owners who post theso placards are beneficiaries of the tariff tax to such an unjustifi able extent that they fear any revi sion of the tariff except such as may revise it upward. I have had much pleasure in the last year in reading' several articles by you in which you show yourself to be a sincere advocate of letting down the tariff bars between the nations to a reasonable extent for the benefit of our exporting indus tries, and I am led to believe that many other, manufacturers hold to like views. In the light of the- fact that the nresent hieh tariff has not maintained prosperity,! would like! to ask whether the posting of those prosperity placards- by the "stand patters" does not savor a good deal of trying to obtain money under- false, pretenses? Believing" that you .do not sympa thize with this ulacard scheme, and hoping to hear from you fully on the! subject, 1 am yours very truly, r ' JOHN W. KERN. limitations. But the recuperativo powers of the country aro such that we can assert with confidence that times of industrial depression can not long continue, and this also regard less of which of tho two political parties is successful. Of course ili considered legislation and the con tinued existence of public evils ob struct tho path to prosperity, and per haps if my distinguished acquaint ance, William J. Bryan and my es teemed friend and fellow-townsmau John W. Kern, were really anarch ists or socialists, enemies of individ ual and property rights, I might feel justified in posting up some kind of placards, but despite my republican ism I can not bring myself to anv such notions concerning them. I no more sympathize with the statement that Mr. Bryan is the enemy of in- Charcoal Removes Stomach Poisons Mr. Parry's Reply Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 29.. 1508-4 won. John w. Kern, Indianapolis, Ind. My Dear Mr. Kern: I have your very interesting, sletter concern ing the "prosperity placards'- antUto disabuse your mind at once of any doubt as to where I stand on this- matter I will say that no such pla cards will be posted at-the plant of the Parry Manufacturing company. I have had a good deal to say in. the past about the abuse of power by: the labor unions some people tell me I have said too much on the sub ject but I have yet to cay a word in favor of any abuse of power bv the employer. , And it is an abuse of the- power of the employer to intimate to. the employe that his services will not be needed if he does not vote a certain way. When a man is made to believe thatMiis bread and butter depend on how he votes he is no longer freo to exercise his own judgment he is deprived of uie most important of his citizenship rights. I believe it is our duty to frown down upon all efforts to-sway the judgment of men other than by methods of proper argument and persuasion untinctured with coercion. I am sure that the great majority of the manufacturers of the country wjl refrain from the posting- of the objectionable placards, and that mainly because it would be taking an unjust and distressing advantage of the employe. There is the further reason also that most manufacturers run their business in accordance with the demand for their products and not in accordance with the po litical barometer. It Is poor busi ness judgment, on the face of it, to post a promise to run a factory full time In the event of anyone's elec tion, for there is a chance you know that the promise may have to be made good" in the face of adverse business conditions. Should the promise for any reason not be "made good" the employer would be guilty of bad faith with his men, and if the employer does not keep faith with his men he can not expect his men to keep faith with him. I think it impossible to fix a date for the return of full prosperity It must be remembered that there are economic causes for business reac tion which are aulta lmvnnj tn. "Jv. 1 PuucaI Parties to control this thing of looking to the gov ernment to give us prosperity has its Pure Charcoal Will Absorb'One Hun dred Times Its Volume in Poisonous Gases Charcoal was made famous by the old monks of Spain,-who cured all manner of stomach, -liver, -blood and bowel troubles by this simple remedy. One little nervous Frenchman held forth-its virtues -before a famous con vention of- European physicians and surgeons- Secheyron was his name. He- was odd, quaint and-very deter-, mined. His brothers in medicine laughed at his claims. Thereupon he swallowed two grains of strychnine, enough .- to. kill three men,- and ate some charcoal. The doctors thought him mad, but he- did- not even have to go to bed. The charcoal, killed the effects of the?strychttine and Sechey ron was famous. Ever since that day physicians have used it. Run im pure water through charcoal and you have a pure, delicious drink; Bad breath-,, gastritis, bowel gases, torpid- liver,- impure--blood, etc., give way before the action of charcoal. It is really a wonderful adjunct to nature and is a most inexhaustible storehouse of -health to the man or woman who suffers from gases or im purities of any kind. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made of pure willow charcoal, sweet ened to a palatable state with honey. Two or three of them cure an or dinary case of bad 'breath. They should be used after every meal, es pecially if one's breath is prone to be impure. These little lozenges have nothing to do with medicine. - They are just sweet, fresh willow, burned to a nicety for charcoal making and frag rant honey, the product of the bee. Thus every Ingredient comes to man from the lap of nature. The only secret lies in the Stuart process of compressing these simple substances into a hard tablet or loz enge, so that age, evaporation or de cay may not .assail their curative qualities. You may take as many of them a3 you wish and the more you take lue quicker will you remove the effects of bad breath and impurities arising from a decayed or decaying meal. They assist digestion, purify the blood and help the Intestines and bowels throw off all waste matter. Go to your druggist at once and buy a package of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, price 25 cents. You will soon be told by your friends that your breath is not so bad as it was. Conrl, lie -emit mnw. nl nAAfDRR AQU I wo will send y6u a trial package by man free. Address F.
