. custom house and appraisers stores,
detached from each other. The cost of
such site or 5 tes is limited to 81 800. 900.
The bill was advocated by Dibble of
South Carolina and Cox of New York,
who explained the necessity of the ac-
commodation for the public business
provided IN the bill. and said that the
proceeds of the sale OF the present GUS
tom house property on Wall street, es-
timated to be worth $4,000, ,009, would
defray all expenses of new building
better adapted to the contemplated uses,
and in more convenient locality. The
bill was agreed to unanimously.
Bills We're also agreed to increasing to
$500, 600 the limit of the cost of the build
ing at Charleston, S. c., appropriating
800, 900 for an Interstate building at
Texarkana, and 500, 900 for building
at Columbus, Ga, and appropriating
1926, 900 for the purchase of additional
ground at indianapolis, Ind.
In speaking to one of these measures,
Mr.. Kennedy, of Ohio, arraigned the
Democratic party in the House for fail
ure to redeem its pledges of economy,
tariff reform and care for the veteran
election would visit retribution upon
their heads.
Mr.. Dibtle considered that the issue
which divided the two political parties
was of graver and more serious nature
than the occasion of buildings for tine
| convenience OF public business. and
thought that both sides of the House,
whatever might be their difference on
party questions, should consider busi-
ness proposition without getting into a
political controversy.
Bills were also agreed to for the erec-
tion of public building az Bay City,
Mich, at an ultimate cost of $150,000,
and appropriating $4OO, 900 for a build
ing at Milwaukee.
The committee having risen the
House ratified its action, and also passed
two bills coming over from Saturday
increasing the limit of the appropriation
for a building at Chattanooga and pro-
viding for the purchase of a site at Buff
falo.
Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, reported
back adversely the resolution offered
this forenoon by Mr.. Anderson, of Iowa,
calling on the Public Printer for the
cause of his failure to comply with the
order of the House for 10000 copies of
the report of the Pacific Railroad Com
mission. Mr.. Richardson stated that no
such order had ever been made. The
House had passed concurrent resolu-
ton ordering the printing, which still
slept in the Senate Committee on Print
ing.

The resolution was laid on the table

JACKSONVILLE, February %. - The
Criminal Court opened this morning at

the bench. Sheriff Broward made his
debut announcing the opening.
There were fifteen prisoners in the
dock. All were young white men except
only three of the men who had arrived

sorrowful sight to behold so many
youthful faces of criminals. The young
sters were handcuffed together and ap-
parently were little embarrassed from
tie manner in which they merrily chat
ted and smiled with each other. Fortu-
nately they were nearly all strangers
to this community and are classed as
tramps. Their offences were vagrancy,
breaking open railroad cars, larceny, ETC.
Arthur Frantzen pleaded guilty to en-
bezzling from Clark & LOTUS less than
800 and over SEQ, and was sentenced to
nine months in the State prison.
The society of Jacksonville is greatly
agitated over the divorce case of young
couple who were married less than a

filed, which was granted. Both parties

The Protected Farmer.

According to the best authorities
about one-half of all the persons in
this country in gainful occupations
are agriculturalists, OF whom there
are eight millions. There is no leg
islation taxing the people for their
benefit. They are growing rapidly
to the condition of serfdom. Their
broad acres of abundant crops fail TO
lift them out of the stress in which
wicked and unjust legislation has
placed them. The reason why his
farm is mortgaged; the reason why
his expenses are more than his in
come; the reason why the blessings
of nature withcr in his hands is be-
cause under the plea of protection to
" American Industries" he is robbed
day and night, year in and year out,
of not only his legitimate profits, but
of his capital.
The following clipping from the
Boston Globe points out to the farmer
and the laboring man where the
fruits of their drudgery go:
90 Behold, then, the happy farmer
as he rises in the morning and puts
on his common flannel shirt, taxed
% per cent. 1t is perchance cool,
and lie puts on n coat taxed 81 per
cent. He cannot go out without
shoes, taxed So per cent, and the
hat that he puts on is taxed 65 per
cent. He draws water in a bucket
taxed 30 per cent. and washes his
face and handsin tin bowl taxed 35
per cent, drying them on cheap
cottage towel taxed IS per cent.
"But still more happiness is in
store. He sits down to breakfast
and eats from plate taxed so per
cent, with knife and fork taxed 80
per cent. The sugar he puts in his
coffee is taxed 80 per cent, and he
seasons his food with salt taxed 40
per cent. He looks fondly at his
happy wife and children who share
his protection with him, and then
goes out and fills his pipe with to-
bacco taxed 1S2 per cent, or per-
haps lights aprotected cigar taxed 1l8
per cent. Meanwhile the smiling
sun streams through the protected
glass window of his domicile on n
tax of % per cent.
The thrice happy farmer now
takes old Nell out of the stable and
puts on a bride taxed 30 per cent.
A Aneighboring smithy shoes her. using
nails taxed 60 per cent, driven ny a
hammer that is taxed 30 per cent
He then bitches her TO plow taxed
45 per cent. with chains taxed So
per cent, and proceeds to his highly
protected labor.
. The days work being done he
reads a chapter from the family bible
taxed 30 per cent, and kneels to
pray on an humble carpet taxed 81
per cent. At last he lies down and
wraps his weary limbs in sheet
taxed 45 per cent. and sinks into the
arms of Morpheus under blanket
that is taxed l04 per cent"
