An Apt Illustration.
New Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
1t has often been observed that the
Republican plan of raising revenue
for the government by means of a
protective tariff is an expensive meth
cd to the consumer. Under protec-
accident finds its way into the public
treasury several dollars stray off into
the pockets Of the trusts, thereby
making the method of collecting rev.
enue by means of a tariff in which
protection is the dominant note a
most ~improvident and expensive one.
A correspondent in a recent issue
of The Peoples Democrat of ColfaX,
La, relates an anecdote that illus.
trates the point most admirably. The
gist of the story is to the effect that
he was travelling in the Ozark mou
tains on one occasion when his road
led to a fine spring of water located
In a cavity cut in the side of the
mountain. A pump has been fitted
up in connection with the spring by
an old mountaineer whose house
stood near -, and the thirsty trav-
eier passing the we'll on hot days Was
wont to dismount and Stake his thirst
from it's sparkling waters. Following
the custom this traveller did So, but
-rr, .,,,r.rnl NJ thn 1nnnth nf fjn1n
it reQuir1 to produce the necessary
amount of water. Going to the house
near by he sought an explanation
from the old farmer, who assured him
~confdentially that nothing was the
matter with either pump or well, but
that, on the contrary, the long pump
ing which brought to the traveller only
a snail draught had entirely filled his
own stock troughs, which were con
nected by secret underground pipes
with the spring.
The story aptly illustrates the re-
suits obtained by the trusts from the
operation Of the protective tariff. AS
Tie lTdNSiel dI TIE iuOuuIdlA opliES
was compelled without realizing it to
pump the watering troughs of the
old farmer full before the spring
would yield a gill of water to crafty
his own thirst, so, under the protec-
tive system, the tariff system must
pump full the Golfers of the trusts
and special interests before a few
cents can get into the treasury. In
many cases it even happens that the
connection between tariff and treas
ury has been Ct off entirely. and the
whole benefit of the tariff goes into
the pockets of the trusts, without a
cent of it going into the treasury.
And it must be remembered that it
Is the people, the ultimate consumers,
who are pumped dry by this process.
The fathers of the republic instituted
Q tariff On imports because it was an
easy way to secure the revenue need
ed to pay the expense of the gov
eminent. It was not contemplated
that there should be protection in con-
nection with the laying of tariff
taxes other than such protection as
might come as the incident, or rather
the accident, of the tax. The idea
was to raise the necessary money

basement OF all Money Collected for
Library Purposes as Well as That

chase Furniture and Install Library
i'm New Home.

That he will appoint the city IL
brary commission next Wednesday
evening was announced this morning
by Mayor E. ]. Murphy. The nomi-
nations must be approved by the
council and for this reason the ap-
pointees will not be made known un-

All is now in readiness for the re-
moval of the library to the city hall

work of moving the books will be un-
dertaken as soon as the commission

fccted.
Under the terms of the recently en-
acted city ordinance and Of the state
law the city administration will have
direct control OF the library. All the
commissioners will be named by the
mayor, with the approval Of the
council, and they may be removed at
any time they fail to perform their
duties satisfactorily.
When the new library commission
takes charge it will devolve upon the
commissioners to purchase furniture
for the library and to install 1t in its
new quarters. All the money that
has been raised for library purposes
together with the city money will be
expended by the commission.
The money derived from the Stur-
gis fund, now approximately 10000,
will be expended for books, accord
ing to an announcement made by
Judge James A. Fee not long ago.
May Have to Wait.
This afternoon City Attorney Raley
advised the mayor that before ap-
pointing the library commission he
should first wait until Is days follow
ing the passage Of the recent library
ordinance, thus allowing time for the
Hing Of a referendum petition should
