In the Public Library.

The Public Library Of this city is
very fortunate in possessing nearly
complete set of the Congressional Globe
and Congressional Record from the be-
ginning of the reconstruction period to
the present time. Hon. VIM. A. Pors,
of Marshfeld, presented the library
with the set from the beginning of the
reconstruction period to 1880, nearly
complete And Hon. Philetus Sawyer,
through the courtesy of Mr.. Geo. E.
HoskiDson and Messrs. Gardner & Gay
nor, has very nearly filled the gap
between 1880 and the present time.
Many of the volumes of this set are
now very rare. Their great value con-
sists in the fact that they contain the
debates in Congress during the recon-
struction period, and the later debates
on the currency and tariff questions
that have from time to time shaped our
national pOlicv
