HOW THEY FEEL IN MINNESOTA.

In the house few days ago Mr..
Nelson, of Minnesota, took advantage
of the general debate to speak on the
tariff. 1t was not honest, he said, To
call men who favored tariff reduction
free traders. The men who opposed
all forms of tariff reduction were not
the only friends of American labor nor
were they the only guardians OF Amer
lean enterprise. The question OF pro-
lection or tree trade WIS not fairly in
volved in the problem congress had To
solve. The question WAS whether the
surplus should be got rid Of by extrav-
agant expenditures or whether the
taxes should be reduced. The great
hodv OF the people were agreed thar
the surplus should be reduced 10y IC-
duction of taxation. The noXi quez
ton presented was whether that rednS-
,iun should be applied to the tariff or
internal revenue taxes. lie seat to

IT Is RIGHT.


From the ST. Louis Republican,
The consolidation OF the tariff and
the Internal revenue reduction bills
gives q general measure Of tax reduc-
ton, contemplating relief to the extent
of S75, ,O0O, 900 or $50, 900 a year.
The changes proposed in the internal
revenue laws mitigate what i'll frequent
ca sea has been their tyrannical severity.
The demand for these changes came
chiefly from the republican districts of
east Tennessee, northern Georgia, east
Kentucky and western North Carolina.
The mountainous regions of these
states are the stronShOlds OF white re-
pubicauism in the south, and distiliin9
is next to peanut raising, their prIucI-
pal industry. These primitive and
tlliterate people have never been able
to understand that man could be
committing crime against the govern
mcnt in building fire under his own
still and turning his own corn into
whisky. They are poor rs well as
| ignorant, and, though they have held
out for quarter of century in defence
OF what they thought their rights, they
! have been subjected to great hardshlps.
Carried far away from their own homes
into strange communities to be tried in
the federal courts, and imprisoned,
their property contiscated and destroy
ed aud their families left unprotected
and destitute, they have appealed
strongly 10 the sympathies of their
political opponents Though southern
'moonshining' is strictly republican
industry, the southern democrat SYM
pathies are quickly excited against
oppression-especially if federal laws
are the means and federal courts the
instruments of il. The odiOus features
OF the internal revenue laws have been
so emphatically denounced by demo
cratic speakers in North Carolina,
Georgia and other states where their
oppression has been most fe't, that
failure 10 attempt TO remove them
would have been regarded by many as
treacherv. The changes now proposed
will be accepted IA an earnest OF good
faith, and as they mitigate the severity
of the federal administration OF law
they will be received with genera
favor III the south.

Who Was He7

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: About the
close of the third days fight at Gettysburg,
myself and a comrade were engaged in gather
ing up some of the wounded who were not able
to get back to the hospitals.
While in this line of duty we were directed
to wounded comrade lying behind large
rock in a small strip of woods south of the
Cemetery. He had been wounded but short
time before we came up to him, by the explo-
sion of shell near by where he was in line OF
duty. fragment of the missile had torn a
large portion of flesh from off the right side of
his body over the stomach, laying bare the
coatings of that organ. Another fragment had
plowed large furrOw across his right thigh,
about midway between the knee and body. A
bullet had pierced one of his arms, So that he
was pretty well used up. We carried him to
the nearest hospital, got Surgeon to attend to
his wounds Immediately, aud from that time
lost sight of him entirely. If that comrade is
still living and this should meet his eye,
would be very glad to hear from him again and
to renew the acquaintance begun under such
trying circumstances on the field of carnage
and slaughter.-JAcoB SMITH, Co. d, 10th

to make it appear as if 1t had been smashed, |

and let down three or four barrels into the
mud; then you ought to have heard me yell.
The guards came on the run with bayonets
fixed, bent on protecting Uncle Sans property;
but seeing your humble servant in such
plight, lying in the mud with his footsmashed,
they carried him with great pity to the other
end of the depot to the light. l cannot help
but laugh, even at this late day, when l think
of it. When they tried to get my boot off
cramped my foot and prevented them doing So
l tried to look pale, and they threw water in
my face to keep me from fainting Meanwhile
I heard my comrades low whistle, and by the
help of a couple of pieces of board l managed
to limp off toward another battery. As soon
as 1 got out of their sight l dropped my
crutches, and found my chum with all the pork
we could carry, which we toted to our quarters
and buried under our tent in a cracker box.
At this time l had a full beard, which |
promptly removed in the morning We fell in
line, and those two guards passed along in front,
cycling each man closely. As they came to me
oh ! never will forget how sharp they looked
at me before they passed on. If they were
punished for letting someone steal the pork,
they will take consolation in knowing that
suffered aso.-W. w. CALHOUN, Glenville, o.
