Dear Sir:-I want space to say to
Bro. Arnold that I am one more who
has never bowed the knee to "Baal"
have never doubted the correctness
of our position. [ have suffered
much for our cause and am willing
still to suffer if it needs be. Our
brave leader towers above any man
who has ever placed his foot on "ter-
"a firma". The faith I have in the
right overthrowing the wrong, that
Truth crushed to earth will rise

that morn is breaking, and very
soon we shall see the light of a
brighter day.

Dear Sir:-The knife to hand

ANY INTELLIGENT YOUNG MAN
MAY BECOME A LAWYER.

Dear Sir:-I am young man,
have only a common school educa-
ton and of limited means financially
and want to take up the study OF
law as profession. What would be
the proper course to pursue? What
books to study first, and on the av
erage how long will it take one to
sufficiently acquire enough knowl-
edge to be admitted to the bar?
Please answer in The JeffersOnian.
Very truly yours,
w. S. STANLEY.
Lawrenceville, Georgia.
In every case where an intelligent
young man has had a good common
school education, he is capable of be-
coming a good lawyer, without fur
Their attendance upon schools. A col
lege education is not at all neces-
sary for such case.
Let the young man go to the
nearest practicing attorney, and Dor
row his Blackstone's "Commenta-
ries" I have never known this re-
quest to be turned down. 1t is in
variably the case, I think, that law
yers sympathize with young men who
desire to become members of the
profession. Consequently, there will
always be some member of the local
bar who will gladly lend his Black

GORDON LEE AND THE ALDRICH
TARIFF.
TARIFF.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-It is indeed
gratifying to see the good work 60
ing on through your Jeffersonians.
The fruits of them shall never die,
and you, too, though you may not
be popular with all, will go down as
one of the greatest refOrmers the
world has ever seen.
If I am not asking too much of
you, please answer the following
questions:
CD Explain the Aldrich-Payne bill
and tell why the rich man pays only
SO per cent. on automobiles and
every one pays $50 per cent. on
blankets.
CD Did Gordon Lee vote for or
against it?
CD Has he done anything in Con-
sress that has helped common peo-
pie, and if he has, please tell what
it is that he has done?
Hoping that I have not intruded
on your valuable time, and that your
life be prolonged SO the good work
may continue, I am
Respectfully yours,

CD In the placing of Tariff duties
upon the thousands of articles which
are thus taxed at the Custom House,
the rates vary very much. For in
stance, on overcoats in which shoddy
is used, the rate is $50 per cent. On
plate glass, which only the rich can
buy, the duty ranges from 29 per
cent. to 100 per cent. On sugar,
which everybody has to buy, the rate
ranges all the way up to 100 per
cent. On wooden cloth, the tax is

SURPRISED AT OUTCOME OF MIS-
SION CONTROVERSY.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-When you be-
gan your criticisms of the Foreign
Mission system of the present day, I
looked for what the country needed,
a lively, able, intelligent discussion,
backed up with facts and figures of a
convincing character. Having been
a believer in Foreign Missions, and
a contributor Tin modest way) for
more than half a century, I expected
to see you routed and put to shame,
for like thousands of others, I had
given no thought to the management
or workings of the organizations
through which the work was being
done.
Your assertions, at first, confound
ed me; and I thought that you had
missed the mark" this time, and
confidently expected to see you over
Whelmed.
The subject and it's Importance led
me to believe that whatever discus
sion was had would be on a high
plane of Christian character.
In this, up to the present, I am
sadly disappointed
I have, so far, seen neither facts,
figures, nor argument to controvert
your assertions. The editors of our
religious journals, who ought to be
posted, are either ignorant or guilty
of unchristian courtesies in treating
of the subject. AS far as I have OBJ
served they attempt to discredit you
by personal taunts and "fool's argu-
men" -ridicu1e. This mode of deal
ing with this great, worldwide sub
ject is not satisfactory to intelligent
people. Those engaged in the man
agement Of this work owe to too
cOnfding people to either meet and
disprove your allegations or confess
their truth
You have withstood the taunts,
gibes, and jeers of merciless and vic
ious editors and others who do not
fight in the open. Until you are met
with logical, respectful, and fair ar
gument, you will continue to gain
friends. 7 have read and reread your
write up" of the buzzard, and had
pronounced it as a success. But
when I read the editorial, "a Ma
ligner Of Missions," taken from that
great religious paper, "Western Rec
ORDER" of Louisville, Ky, a paper
that had been a noble, consistent,
propagation of love and charity, 7
thought, chow has the mighty fall

Z cents per square yard, when the
value isn't more than 8 cents per
square yard. If it is valued at the
Custom House at more than Is cents
per square yard, the duty is s cents
per square yard; and in addition to
these rates there shall be added SO
per cent advalorem, when the val
uation does not exceed 70 cents per
pound. On clothing, ready made,
and articles of wearing apparel of
every description, including shawls-
whether knitted or wovenA-and knit
ted articles Of every description
made by or manufactured wholly, or
in part, of wool, the duty per pound
is four times the duty imposed on
one pound of unwashed wool of the
first-class, and in addition thereto,
SIS per cent adva1orem. The duty
upon all woods and hair of the first
class, is II cents per pound; upon
woods or hair of the second-class, it
is IL cents per pound. Now when
you add all these taxes together, you
will begin to understand that the

in the American Congress.
for it, but voted against it. His
crime consists in the fact that he
voted, against the Democrats and in
surgents, and with the Cannon Re-
publicans, to keep in the hands Of
Cannon the power which enabled him
to pack the committees and thus con-
troll the situation. Had Gordon Lee
remained true to the Democratic
leader, Hon. Champ Clark, Of Mis-
souri,, and voted as the majority of
Democrats voted, Cannon would
have lost the power to pack the COM
mittees and pass the diabolical AL
drich law Cannon, himself, said, in
speech delivered in Kansas City,
last November, that without the aid
of the twenty-three Democrats who
came to his rescue and upheld his
power, he could not have passed that
devilish law which puts a tax of so
per cent. on the automobiles of the
rich and tax of 165 per cent. ON the
blankets of the poor. Gordon Lee
was one of those twenty-three Dem
Gratis whose desertion saved Cannon
and enabled him to pass the law
which the Tariff robbers wanted.
CD No, Gordon Lee hasn't done
a blessed thing for the common peo-
pie; and if you kept him there until
his head is as bald as billiard cue,
he never would. He is a clever fell
low, personally, and I like him; but
he never was cut out for a Congress-
man. He has been sufficiently tried
for the people of his district to be
aware of that fact. GIVE US NEW
BROOMS, and The Jeffersonian will
help you to make them SWEEP.
