the United States from struggling for the nos

which draws money from one mans pockets TO

viewed the history Of tariff legislation from
colonial times II was James Madison, Of Viz
GINA, who brought into the House the first
tariff bill and urged its passage. The main
fight was over duty which was proposed to be
laid on Jamaica rum. This was finally settled
az 10 cents a gallon. When IL was proposed to
put duty Of cents gallon on molasscs 5Il
the Members from Massachusetts arose and
protested, because 10 would destroy the busi-
ness Of distiling rum in Massachusetts in
which more than a halEmillion dollars was in
vested. Under this tariff, that of 1888, the
average import duty did not exceed u per
cent, while today the average duty is Al Der

JOHN w. BURST.
One Of nIlnols,s Grand Soldiers.

Wehave heretofore published the portraits and
biographical sketches of all the members of the
GAR. National Pension Committee, which has
been doing such noble work for the veterans OF
the country, except that of the latest appoint
ment to it, Gen. John w. Burst, of Illinois,
whom Commander-in-Chief Rea appointed to
take the place af John G.. Linehan, elected
Junior Vice Commander-in-Chie
COmrade Burst was born in Meredith, Della
ware Co, n. Y, but when quite young his
father removed to Illinois. He had a natural
taste for military affairs, and even as boy was
enthusiastic in military exercises. He was
among the first to respond to the call for troops,
and on the 10th of May, 1861, enlisted in Co.
ID, 18th III. While one of the reserve of a
picket-post in Missouri, a scorpion or some
other yenomous reptile crawled across his face
and stung him. His blood was poisoned so
badly that it was feared his eye-sight would
be lost, and the following Winter he was dis
charged on account Of blindness. Under the
care of his mother he recoved from its Ill effects
however and when the second call came out he
went to work actively in raising a company for
the l05th Ill, of which he was elected Orderly
Sergeant

Sergeant.

In June, 1863, he was promoted to First
Lieutenant, and March, 1864, to Captain and
commanded his company on the Atlanta cam
paign. He took part in all the engagements
III which his regiment participated until the
battle Of New Hope Church, where he received
wound in his right leg, which compelled not
only one but three amputations. 1t was SIX
months before he was able to be about again,
and he was discharged by order from the War
Department.
He was as prompt in entering the GAR as
enlisting in the army, being one of the first
soldiers Of Chicago 10 join the Order and or
gani2e a Post, which he did in 1866. In 1867
he organized a Post at Sycamore, ILL., He was
Chairman Of the District delegation TO the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention in Chicago.
which first nominated Gen. Grant for Prcgi-
dent. The latter appointed him Postmaster at
Sycamore, which Office he held for five years.
and then resigned 70 90 into business at Rock
Island. He commanded the Post at Sycamore
/ during these five years and was also member
OF the Council OF Administration of the Illinois
Department.
In 1881 he was elected Commander of the
Department Of Illinois, having previously serv-
ed as S. Y. G. During Commander-in- Chief

OF and the coal industry was said to be able to
get along without protection. The wool ques-
tion was discussed and free wool was alleged to
be in the interest of not only manufacturer but
of the laborer. He concluded by claiming that
| free-trade was protection, and that he (Mr
Scott was proteCtionist.
MIR. Scott spoke for more than two hours.
Mr.. Grear Uowa) reviewed the history of
tariff legislation in the United States in sup
port of the proposition he laid down, that while
the country was prosperous when the tariff was
high, the reverse was true when the duties
were fixed on a revenue basis. Discussing the
Mills bill, which he said would destroy Ameri-
can labor, he stated that the most prominent
Democrat in his district had told him that no
Iowa Representative who voted for the meas
Ure could be reelected to Congress. In this
contest between free trade and protection, the
Republican party had on its side the interests
of the manufacturers and labOrers, while on
the other side was a large portion of the Demo-
cratic party, backed by foreign influence. The
passage of the Mills BILL in the interest of
free trade, would be a victory for British COM
merce.
Mr.. Dibble rs. c. trusted that when the bill
was considered by sections it would be consid-
cred not in partisan spirit, not for the sake
OF manufacturing campaign documents, but in
that broad spirit of craftsmanship which be-
fitted the Representatives of the American
issues affecting the prosperity of the country
from one end to the other Under the Consti-
tuition, he argued, there was ample room for
incidental protection under the provisions of
strictly revenue tariff.
Mr.. Haugen Wis., opposed the bill, and crit
1cized the President for having been, in part,
responsible for the surplus which he so much
condemned, by his failing to approve the river
and harbor bill, by his veto of The Dependent
Pension BILL and by his neglect to exercise the
authority invested in him by law to purchase
United States bonds.
The committee then rose, and the House (at
. o'clock took a recess until s O'clock, the
evening session to be for the consideration Of
private pension bills.
The House at its evening session passed 81
private pension bills.

The cost of building house il Tallapoosa is
about one-third the cost of building the same house
IN the North. The cost of living is much less than
in New England and the West, and with the mild
equable climate very little fuel is necessary, and
that can be obtained at one-quarter of Northern
prices. Sickness is stranger To Tallapoosa, and
vegetables can be raised eight months in the year.
