How much can you find out
of even one book by half a

counter? Precious little.
That's one reason Book News

News readers knoao the drift

before the ink IN 1t is dry.
They can be a thousand miles
away and not go wrong in
choosing.
There's no haphazard pick

hints. For big folks or little
folks-all's one. The pith of
the book, the merit OF 1t, the
size of it. Nothing left for
you to guess at; not e0en the
fair Price.
Book News for December
tells you of nearly f0e hundred
holiday books, and shows you
about sixty pictures from them.
One hundred and twelve big
pages; FIVE CENTS, to any adj
dess.
The little money it costs is
likely to come back to you a
hundred fold. Can you do
better with FIVE CENTS.

TARIFF REVISION RECOMMENDED.

recommend a revision of our tariff law
both in it's administrative features and in
the schedules. Tue need of the former
is generally conceded, and an agreement
upon the evils and inconvenience to be
remieded and the best methods for their
correction will probably not be difficult.
Uniformity of valuation at all our ports
is essential, and effective measures should
be taken to secure it. 1t is equally de
sirable that questions affecting rates and
| classifcations should by promptly de
cided.
The preparation of a new schedule of
| customs duties is a matter of great deli
cacy because of its direct effect upon the
business of the country, and of great diff
| ficulty by reason of the wide divergence
of opinion as to the objects that may
properly be promoted BY such legislation
| Some disturbance of business may per
haps result from the consideration of
this subject by Congress, but this tenn
porary i'll effect will be reduced to the
minimum by prompt action and by the
assurance which the country already Ell
joys that any necessary changes will be
so made as not to impair the Just and
reasonable protection of our home indus
tries. The inequalities of the law should
be adjusted, but the protective principle
should be maintained and fairly applied
to the products of our farms rs well as of
our shops. These duties necessarily have
relation to other things besides the pub
lie revenues. We cannot limit their
effects by fixing our eyes on the treasury
alone. They have a direct relation to
home production, to work, to wages, and
to the commercial independence of our
country, and the wise and patriotic leg
islator should enlarge the field of his
vision to include all of these.

HOW TO REDUCE THE REVENUE.

The necessary reductions in our public
revenues can, am sure, be made with
out making the smaller burden more
onerous than the larger by reason of the
disabilities and limitations which the
process of reduction puts upon both cap
ital and labor. The free list can be very
safely extended by placing thereon arti,
Giles that do not offer injurious COMPETE
ton to such domestic products as orr
home labor can supply, The removal of
the internal tax upon tobacco would re
lieve an important agricultural product
from burden which was imposed only
because our revenue from customs duties
was insufficient TOR the public needs. Ii
safe provisions against fraud can be de
vised the removal of the tax upon spirits
used in the arts and in manufactures
would also offer an Objectionable method
of reducing the surplus.

gress to the consideration of such meas

tioDal powers as will secure to all our
people a free exercise of the right of suf-
frage and every other civil right under
the Constitution and laws of the United

Justify the assumption, ither on the part
of the Executive or of Congress, OF pow =

blamable ii all the powers granted are
not wisely but firmly used to correct these
evils. The power to take the whole di
rection aud control of the election Of
members of the House of Representatives
is clearly given to the general govern
ment. A partial and qualified supervis
ion of these elections is now provided for
by law, and in my opinion this law may
be so strengthened and extended as to
secure, on the whole, better results than
can be attained by law taking all the
proc sses of such election into Federal
control. The colored man should he pro
tected i'll all his relations to the Federal
Government, whether as litigant, Juror
or witness in our courts, as an elector for
members OF Congress, or as a peaceful
traveller upon our interstate railways.
