BOOKS OLD AND NEW.

A HEBREW translation of Longfellow's
"Psalm of Life" has just been printed
in Jerusalem.
Two BOOKS with the marginal notes in
Luther's handwriting have been dis
covered in the municipal library at
Zwickau.
THE highest price ever paid for a book
1t is said, was $4,000. 1t was for vel
lum missal which was presented to
King Henry VIII, by Pope Leo y.
Next spring will SEQ the publication
Of the colleges Of Oxford, book giving
tho history and traditions Of those ia
nous institutions Of learning. The
book is edited by Follow of Lincoln,
and tho various chapters are contrib
uted by well-known members Of the
university.
CcnuscrroNs OF engraved portraits
have always proved favorite hobbies.
One writer few years ago stated that,
although Shakespeare headed the list
with some 1900 heads, the caso Of Dick-
ems was the more remarkable, as his 400
odd portraits, chiefly unofficial, we're
done In his lifetime. Lord Ronald

Uncle Sam?
Precisely twenty-three days, which at
81 per day is equal to 1923.
This calculation deals only with the
money that actually goes into the
treasury including the internal rev.
enue tax. In order to get at the tariff
tax paid by each man, it will be neces-
sary to make the calculation on the
revenue derived from imports only
emitting the internal revenue tax, and
taking account of the increased cost of
domestic products by reason of protect
i've duties.
The duties to be paid to the Govern
ment on imports under the Mckinley
bill are estimated to be about $500, 000,-
900 year. This would require $40, or
ten days work, from each of the 20,000,-
900 workers. But this ten days work
does not represent the whole annual
cost Of protection. BY far the larger
part of the commodities we consume
are made in this country, and very many
of them are bought by the people at an
artificial tariff price. We manufacture
every year not less than three billion
dollars worth of goods of all kinds,
while we imported last year only S74l,-
600, 900 worth, of which S4si, 600 600
worth was dutiable
Now how much is the price of home
manufactured articles increased by the
protective tariff? No man knows pre-
| cisely; it is too vast a problem. David
A. Wells has shown that the extra cost
| to us of iron and steel by reason of the
tariff is 1000 900 year. This esti-
mate is reached by taking the prices
and quantities consumed in this country
and comparing them with the prices in
/ England. We have imported during
| the past three years an average ofabout
/ Sij, 100000 worth of iron, steel and
manufactures thereof paying into the
/ treasury an average duty of about 40
/ per cent which equals about $4,000, COO
year Here then is basis for cal
culation. The treasury gets 5000 600
and tho protected manufacturers get
/ Sj6, 600, 600. That is to say, for every dol
lar that the Government gets the manu-
facturers get little more than 50.
Assuming that this proportion holds
| good in other lines Of commodities, we
can make rough estimate of what pro-
lection costs the people.
1t has just been shown that the tariff
tax under the Mckinley bill is about
5000, O0O, 900 year Here then is the
total yearly cost Of protection:

This is very reasonable estimate. 1t
shows what n terrible snake in tho
grass protection is Here we have
nearly seven weeks labor taken from
the workers of the land every year Is
not that a sufficient explanation of
farm mortgages and many other hard
ships?
The most of the matter, however is
that this 40 days labor is not borne by
all the workers Protection not only
lets some of them go free, but actually
sets the others to working for these
Yet protection is good thing

FAvORlNG THE RICH.

HOW tnc mchiniey iisCrlntnAtes
Against the Poor Man.
McKinley's high tariff bill is called
''an act to reduce the revenue and
equalize duties on imports, and for
other purposes" In his report when he
submitted the bill to Congress, he said.
"The committee submit what they be-
lieve to be just and equitable revision
of the tariff. !"
Perhaps a few examples will make
plain what Mckinley means by tho
words, "just and equitable" Here are
some of his duties for the rich and the
poor:
Rich Man-Fine cassimeres, advanced
25 per cent
Poor Man-Cotton corduroy, advanced

Rich Man-Fine broadcloth, advanced

INDIANS MANIA.
The Messiah Craze May Drive
Them to War.
Troops In Position to Intercept Any Move
ment In North Dakota, But Great
Damage Might Be Done,

General Nelson A. Miles, accompanied
by Assistant Acknowledgement Corbin,re.
turned from st, Louis, Monday morning.
General Miles was in consultation with
Secretary of War Proctor about the al.
legged Indian outbreak in the Northwest
I'VE arc disposed to regard the reports
as greatly exaggerated, said Colonel
Corbin; "and the Secretary of War ap-
pears to be of the same mind. Thore is
no doubt If the Indians were to decide
upon an outbreak they could do much
HARM They have abundance of rifles
and ammunition and plenty of horses
and large supplies of meat. In fact
they are in good condition to go TO war.
But winter is now coming on, and
hardly think there is immediate danger
of an outbreak. The stories of evacua-
tion of the settlers in North Dakota arc
overdrawn. A few weak and fearful
residents, fearing the vengeance of the
Indians, may have left their homes to
await the outcome of the difficulty,
but tho rumor that there has been
without foundation. We have made
careful estimate of the number af.
flicted by the Messiah craze and
there are in all not to exceed 81 900 In.
dlans OF this number perhaps one-ffth
are able-bodied warriors, and one-half
Of the whole number, or at least Is, 600,
could bear arms, Such body of In
dians could do much harm if their move
ments were not properly arrested, but
we have taken measures to ointercept any
outbreak. General Rugcr was ordered
to the scene from St. Paul I'll rec DAYS
ago, and is in easy communication with

mcnt; but if they do go to war
it will be on account of the
strange superstition that now
possesses them. A friendly Indian
brings warning from tho Sioux rescrv-
alton. lle says there is the greatest
danger there, and that the Indians pro-
pose to attack TT. Abraham Lincoln,
knowing that there are but fifty soldiers
there. Then they propose to capture
