FREE TEYr.RnnKs-

No more big bills tor text books next
year.
The towns will supply the textbooks,
free of all expense to parents.
You trOt out the children, and so far
as education is concerned, the town will
! do the rest.
Here is the law as it was enacted by
the Legislature and signed by the Gov
/ ern0r:
An act relating to free textbooks.
1t is hereby enacted by the General AS
sembly of the State of Vermont
Sec. |. The school directors in every
town and city shall purchase at the ex-
pense of such town or city text books and
other supplies used in public schools.
and such text books and supplies shall
be loaned to the pupils of said public
schools free of charge, subject to such
rules and regulation as to care and Gus
tody as the choOl directors may pre-
scribe.
Sec. 2. Pupils supplied with textbooks
at the time of the passage of this act shall
not be supplied with similar books by the
school directors until needed.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect upon
the first day of April, 1893.
The law is good thing and the public
is to be congratulated on its enact
ment.
Logically, since the State provides
schools and requires all children to attend
them, it stands to reason that it should
provide textbooks, also.
AS a practira al matter, there are num-
bers of people who find it almost or quite
impossible to pay for their children's
textbooks; and many children leave
school sooner than would otherwise be
the case on this account The new law
will be great relief to parents of limited
means, and will distribute the burden
more equitably.
Furthermore, town purchase of school
books will be by far cheaper than the
present, for the town will buy in large
quantities and at first hand, saving all
miGdIemen's profits and getting the pub
fishers lowest rates.
Finally, the cost to the town will be
comparatively trifing. st. Johnsbury
has thousand school children. 1t is
reasonably safe to assume that at the be-
ginning OF the next school year not more
than half of these will need a new equip
ment of books and it would not be more
than 30 cents each-making $3.50 in all.
But even at double that amount, the in. |
yestment will not be large one. The
Legislature did well to adopt the free
textbook system.-St. JohnSbmy Repub- |
LicGn.

ELI PERKINS OSTuE TARTFF

Eli Perkins, who has travelled almost
around the world since last May, was
asked about tariffs in Europe.
Tariffs in Europe" said Eli. "Why.
yes, they have tariffs all over Europe, but
they are tariffs to raise money to sup
port the governments and not tariffs to
protect manufacturers and labor. Now,
when | got to England l asked Labou-
chere why England did not have a tariff
like America.
"'Why,' he said, we do. We have all
the tariff we can put on. You know we
can t put tariff on anything that doesn't
come into England. Almost everything
goes from our cheap labor countries to
America and you can do what we can't
do
why don't you put tariff on cloth?'
1 asked.
" Because no cloth ever comes to Eng
land, and the same with boots, hats. ma
chinery, pottery and cutlery. We can't
put tariff on these things. We had
tariff on iron and cutlery until 1S41.'
" What did you take it off for?'
We didn't; it went off itself. The
tariff stimulated our manufacturers so.
and Increased them so that we got to
making things as cheap as they were
making tnem in Sweden, Germany and
France. The tariff ceased to operate
them
But tea, coffee, sugar, tobacco and
spirits still come to England?' l said.
"'Yes and we've still got a tariff on
them
"'What! tariff on necessitiesp, I
said. why, these things come free in
America
well, we have tariff of four cents
on tea, three cents on coffee, one on
sugar, Sl.50 on tobacco and $3.50 on
spirits. We raise over hundred mil
lions on them. We are now talking
about putting tariff on wheat and meat
You are protecting your mechanics and
farmers and we must soon do it or we
will go to pieces. By your tariff YOU
have stolen our glass factories, our nail
factories, cotton factories, wooden fac
tories, and our pOtteries, and now our
TN plate factories are going to America.
Your workmen are getting rich and ours
are getting poor. Yes, and many things
are growing cheaper in America Many
things are selling for price lower than
the tariff. Nails, plate glass, shoes and
cotton cloth are not protected any more |
in America. They have got 50 low that
they are walking alone.'"

niggardliness toward an old employe.
SO do all business firms who keep men in
responsible positions for long terms of
years at salaries barely large enough to
purchase commOnest neceSSaTies of life.
Ten dollar boOkkeepers after ten years of
hard and faithful service are pretty apt
to cOvet some of the money which pass es
so plentifully through their hands, vet S o
little of which remains in their possess
sion as reward for duties honestly per-
formed. This is especially true of mar
ried $40 bookkepers. The stings of pow
erty are prone to dull the promptings of
conscience when borne too long.
1t isn't right to steal. That which be-
longs to others every man should always
let severely alone unless he is prepared to
render an equivalent. But such business
methods as those practised by the fir m
which is now mourning the absence of a
$40 per week emplOye are the methods
by which defaulters and forgers are
quickest and surest made, aud it isn't
surprising that the sympathy of those
who understand the circumstances best
is nearly always with the thief instead of
the victim
The most successful business firms are
those which pay their aids living wages
or something more than living wages.
They are also less frequently victims of
misplaced trust. The firm that shows an
appreciation of valuable services rem
dered by those upon whom it must de-
pend for honesty and uprightness is the
firm that escapes loss through the neces-
sites of its employees.
Ten years hard work keeping books
and handling cash at salary of $40 per
week is almost enough % make a man
steal. -CorreSpORdeRce of TrOy Press.

A DRUMMER's STORY.

This story is told on drummer who
belonged to the Methodist church. lie
had religious wife and daughter, but
he was not what the boys called strictly
lin line" himself in religious ways. One
Saturday afternoon his pastor visited
him in his cosey little home. The pas.
tor talked in a general way about the
church, the news, etc., but gradually
got near the point of an interview on
spiritual matters. The poor drummer
knew his faults, and felt, under the
searching questions prOpounded by the
parsOn, what poor, humble creature
he was, and as the questions progressed
his voice grew weaker and weaker, un,
til they were only answered in whispers.
The good ParsOn began by saying, 81
don see you often at church,
mot very often, that's So" said the
drummer.
How do you spend your Sundays?"
"Well, sometimes in the woods, some
times at home, sometimes ut work"
do you chew tobacco?"
Eyes. little"
"And you smoke, also?"
Eyes, sometimes"
"And you drink?"
"Oh, well now, only glass of beer oc-
casionally."
do you play cards?"
only to pass away the evening""
But by this time the drummer's voice
was SO weak you would have thought
he had lost both lungs. At last, after a
long pause and serious reflection by the
parson, he said: what is your poll
tics?"
With a spring and a yell that made
everything in the cosey little parlor rat
tie, lie yelled: Republican, you bet!"
With clasped hands the two men gazed
into each others smiling faces and babe
each other pleasant good afternoon
