Fairfleld County Bar Library.
The GAZETTE in its yesterday’s issue,
reported the fact that the county com-
missioners had drawn an order on the
county treasurer for $2,500 for the bene-
fit of the Fairfield County Law Associa-
tion. The above sum is in addition to
the regular county appropriation of
$1,000, and is a special allowance for a
Special purpose, the object being to
complete their state reports, the lacking
volumes being those of Alabama,
Georgia and Louisiana. When the
Fairfield County Bar Library commit-
tee appeared before the recent legisla-
ture advocating the special appropria-
tion for the above object, they had in
mind that the reports ' of the three
states mentioned' 'above would cost
$2,100, and the other 3400 Was to go for
English contemporary works. After
the committee had secured their point
with the committee on Appropriations
the late Francis Ives left by will 81,000
for the law library. With this money
the library committee purchased the
Alabama reports. The committee will
now order the reports of Georgia and
Louisiana, and they will then have the
reports of the 45 states in the Union,
complete.
The library as it is to-day is the most
complete county law library in Con-
necticut, and was started away back in
’42-}. The nucleus and the start of the
library was the private library of Judge
Roger M. Sherman of Fairfield, an
eminent member of the Connecticut
bar, and a justice of the supreme bench,
n he gave by will his collection for that
purpose. The second endowment that
the library received was the addition of
Judge Butler’s large library, who died
here in Norwalk some 22 years ago.
Other big endowments which the li-
brary received were the gift of $1,000
by W. D. Bishop and a similar, amount
from the late Francis Ives. The sup-
port and Continuance of the library has
been by fees from lawyers on their ad-
mission to the bar.
The library of late years has become
so extenSive that it requires a good
deal of money to keep it up. Originally
it received 3300 annually from the
county, but that sum, together with
admission fees from applicants for the
in”, was not sufficient to keep up with
the number of state reports annually is-
sued, and the yearly appropriation was
raised to $51,000. This amount is de-
Voted to the purchase of new reports
and the salary of a janitor.
Besides the numerous law books of
Judge Butler, there was also left byhis
will something like $9,000 for the pur-
chase of law volumes for the library.
The old Library committee adopted the
policy of simply spending the income
of the principal, for books, but that
policy did not meet with the approval
of the members of the bar, who inter-
preted the will differently,and the result
was that the old committee resxgned
and a new one composed of Lyman D.
Brewster of Danbury, Curtis Thomp-
son and George W. Wheeler of Bridge-
port, were appointed. This committee
have spent the principal on important
books, with the results as above men-
tioned—that of making this the finest
county library in the state. .
This new appropriation will complete
the reports from all the states, and ad-
ditional appropriations will keep up the
new state volumes as they appear as a1-
so the standard English works.
The Fairfield County Bar association
has also obtained and had properly
placed in the court house, portraits of
most of the more prominent of its mem-
here who are deceased. Ameng those
not hitherto obtained is a suitable
portrait of the late Hon. Orris S. Ferry.
This has been securedzby Judge Asa B.
Wondward, formerly Mr. :Ferry’s law
partner, as a donation from a life-long
and ardent Norwalk friend and ad-
mirer of one of the most brilliant and
eminent lawyers who ever practiced at
the Fairfield county bar.
Why Gold Goes Out.
There is no mystery whatever about
the heavy shipments of gold to Europe,
the continued depletion of the Treas-
ury reserve and the consequent neces-
sity of another bond issue, with a heavy
addition to the National debt. The
WEEKLYEDOR
shameful inadequacy of the Democratic
tariff is the primary cause of the whole
dilhculty. The total exports of Ameri-
can products from Jan. 1, 1895. to Sept.
15 were $21,514,693 less than they were
for the corresponding period last year.
The total imports of foreign products
from Jan. 1. to Sept. 15 was 861,529,800
more than they were for the same
months of 1894. The direct loss to this
country in the shrinkage of its sales
abroad and in the increase of the
amount it has paid for foreign goods in
the past eight months and a half, is
more than $83,000,000.
Of course undera tarifi‘ which cuts
down our sales abroad and swells our
purchases abroad at the combined rate
of ten millions a month, we must ship
great quantities of gold to Europe.
European'merchants‘and manufacturers
demand hard cash for their products.
If we buy of them under the Demo-
cratic tarifi', instead of buying of our
own countrymen, as we did under the
McKinley law, we necessarily set in
operation an endless drain of gold from
these shores. This fact has been re-
peatedly pointed out by protectionists.
free traders have sneeringly declared
that it was not a fact but a fallacy,
since under a lower tariff we were cer-
tain to increase our exports until we
had conquered "the markets of the
world.” \t e [have the lower tariff, but
we are selling far less of our products
abroad than we did under Republican
In other words, we are
injuring our own
protection.

manufacturers and emptying our Nat-
ional Treasury in order to benefit Eu-
rope.
Congressman Hill and the Editor of
the GAZETTE, in their recent European
trip, were surprised at the unusual ac-
tivity in all the leading manufacturing
districts of England, Ireland, Scotland,
France and Germany. In all these
countries, wages had been cut down,
but the output of goods greatly increas-
ed for export to this country. Indeed
11 Great Britain, France and Germany,
the manufacture of goods for the Amer-
ican market was madea distinct and en-
ergetic specialty. So that no visitOr
from the Unifed States could fail to see
that the teeming millions of poorly paid
operatives of Europe were being hus-
tled to fill our markets with fabrics be-
fore our duties shouldbe raised, all of
which our own people should be manu~
facturing. Delightful isn’t it?
Not True.
The report that the county commis-
sioners under the new changes of the
liquor law, had decided to give out no
blank applications to town clerks, is
denied by the commissioners. Such
blanks can be had as usual at the town
clerk’s office. It was never their inten-
tion, they say, that applicants should
be required to make a journey to
Bridgeport merely for the purpose of
procuring the necessary blanks upon
which to make their applications.
