On the Records.

'Now, Your Honor, said lawyer to
Judge Brown, In Santa Rosa, Cal, the

Judge Brown rubbed his chin in

an old principle Of law that the proba.

1t Was for America.

The Associated Press sent out long
dispatch which was printed in the pa.
pers yesterday morning, detailing nu,
merous protests against the Dingley
tariff bill made by foreign countries.
Upon that the opposition to protect
i've tariff may be expected to raise the
cry that commerce Is about to be re-
tarded.
Well, If it must, why let it retard.
No one supposes, we imagine. that the
purpose Of the Dingley tariff bill was
to encourage production in foreign
countries, or to encourage foreign COM
merce. The purpose of those who
framed this bill was to encourage home
production, give employment to home
labor and create home markets.
If the purpose had been different
why of course different policy would
have prevailed, large part of the
revenue needed by the Government
would have been collected on tea and
coffee. That would have retarded com
merce on these articles to small ex.
tent perhaps, rs the duty levied would
have been added to the prices of the
articles, and the consumers would
have paid them. They are not pro-
duced in the United States aud we
would have had no voice in fixing
prices. If prices were raised, why poor
people would use less tea and coffee
perhaps and therefore there would be
less of them sold and consumed.
But that is not what the Dingley bill
contemplated. 1t levies duties on arti.
cles produced here and the prices of
which are controlled by competition.
The idea is that the more we produce
in our mills and factories, the more
labor we will be able to employ, and
the more wages that is paid in such
esta blishments, the more money there
will be to pay to the tillers of the soil
and to the merchants and butchers
and bakers, 1t was not contemplated
for moment that the object of the
Dingley tariff act was to please for
eigners. 1t was enacted for the benefit
of the people of the United States. OF
course we want to remain on good
terms with our neighbors of other ma
tions; but they can not expect US to
legislate for them and overlook our
own interests. Knoxville Journal.

appropriating $4,000 to the needy
widowed daughter of President Zach

Washington on her way to Paris to see

OF money. appealed to her only friend
at the capital. General Sherman. His
purse was always open to the distressed,
but he had no funds at all adequate to
relieve her necessities. In this emer.
gency he thought of Blaine. The man
from Maine entered into the spirit OF

Sherman statement. He called an

minutes speech that fairly electrified
the house, which passed the resolution
Blaine had penned only moment be.
fore. He took the resolution in person
to the Senate, where 1t was also imme-
diately passed, had the president to
sign it the next day, and on the follow
ing day the beneficiary got the money.

Blaine would have made the grandest
actor that ever lived, and in adapting
his career to politics he robbed the

Just One Thing

Honey is O quick, sure and safe cure
for this particular class Of complaints.
1t is pleasant to take. Children like 1t
and will ask for 1t. 1t is harmless. It
is made from pine, tar and honey. Old
folks know that these are good, harm
less medicines. In DR.. Bells Pine ar
Honey they are combined by new nd
scientific methods with yegets BILE
plants, giving them remarkable medi,
cinal value. DR.. Bells Pine Tar Honey
will not cure consumption. 1t will
ward 1t of In its incipiency and give
relief and comfort Ia its later stages.
There isn't another cough remedy on
the market that does not claim to cure
consumption. Such claim is ri.
diculous falsehood. Put no depend

them. DR.. Bells Pine Tar Honey is

druggist does not keep 1t, 1t will be
sent upon receipt Of price by the E. E.

GREAT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
Work Of Removal May Commence Next
Week.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The great lii
brary OF Congress, 100000 volumes
strong, will probably be started on its
way to the splendid building opposite
the capitol some time next week.
To the credit of those responsible for
the construction of the new building,
be it said, no library in the world is so
magnificently, so beautifully and so
adequately housed as the Congressional
Library will be when 1t shall have
been placed in its new quarters.
The work attendant upon the trans.
fer of this gigantic library from its re.
cent cramped quarters TO those spacious
rooms which have been prepared for It
will be great.
A large force of men will be employ.
ed for the work. and at least eight, IL
not ten weeks, will ke required for
them to perform the task.
1t is not as IL there were merely 80
much bulk to be transferred. To be
sure very large number Of the books
are not expensive and not difficult to
duplicate. But q big portion of them
are volumes very rare and valuable,
volumes which neither love nor money
nor yet great ingenuity could dupli.
cate, for they are unique.
Take, for instance, the far famed
Tener collection. Its like does not ex
let. Guards watch 1t night and day.
People are permitted to examine and
copy from it, but they do so under the
eyes of book loving watchmen.
The great enemies to books are damp
and dust. The new quarters are damp
and dust proof. To prevent any dust
or book worms being conveyed to the
new quarters every volume will be
subjected to wind bath. This will be
done by turning hose, nozzled by a
piece of steel four inches by one six
teenth of an inch onto every hook.
Through this hose and nozzle will
rush stream Of dried air swift enough
to drive every speck Of dust from the
volume while at the same time absorb
every particle of moisture.
This bath will be given the books as
they are taken from-fhe boxes into
which they will be packed and convey.
ed from the capitol to the. new build.
ing.
The removal will be under the direct
supervision of Mr.. Spofford, under
whose fostering care the library has
grown TO its present excellence. He
bestows upon rare volume the affec
tion of parent for q. cRild and there
can be no doubt that agery possible
precaution will be, taken, to preserYe
this great wealth Of litrature from
harm. -

General Hanson's Book--Thc Story Why
Mr.. Box Released all Claims to
ROYALTY,


The Indianapolis Journal prints this
interesting story concerning ex.Presi-
dent Harrison's forthcoming book.
General Harrison has just completed
the revision of his articles which have
appeared in the Ladies Home Journal,
making extended notes and additions
to them. There is little story in con
nection with both articles and publica-
tion. When the arrangement for the
articles was made with General Hayri-
son by Edward w. Box, editor Of the
Ladies' Home Journal, the General
was paid for them, with the under.
standing that when they were put into
book form the magazine was to share
the roy alties accruing therefrom. Mr..
Box, however, Of his own accord, gen.
erously released General Harrison
from paying him any royalty, for the
reason, as he states, that by the pub.
lication OF the articles by General Har.
rison the subscription list Of his maga'
zine was enlarged many thousands.
The profits to the Ladies' Home Jour.
nal were more than the publishers an
ticipated, and in view Of this Mr., Box
asks nothing further. General Har'
rison placed the disposition of hit
book in Mr.. Boks hands. The best
offer came to heeditor from the Serb
ners, and to them Mr.. Box gave the
book for his distinguished contributor.
General Harrison's revision Of the
book has just been completed, and the
volume will appear in the autumn.
