OPPOSED TO BUSINESS SCARES
AND PROSPERITY PLACARDS
Indianapolis, Aug. 31. 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,

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

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-

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.

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.
