Legislation Touching Imports Has Been

Between 1850 and 1919 the heaviest
permanent duty had been 20 per cent,
imposed by the tariff act of 1916: and
the financial policy of the country had
not been protective in character The
first protective tariff was that of 1924;
its average rate of duty was about 20
per cent. In lS2S another bill became
a law. imposing higher rates Of duties;
in ls32 reduction of some duties was
made, but the average duty was 33 per
cent. In $50 bill became law pro-
viding for a gradual reduction of
duties, and in ls42 an average duty of
20 per cent had been reached. But iE
September, 1912, protective tariR
was adopted which lasted until 1916,
when so-called free trade tariff came
into effect 1t provided for various
classes of goods; those in class A paid
100 per cent; those in class b. 40 per
cent; those in class c, so per cent. SO

proach to free trade as the country has
had since 1916" In 1861, before the
war began, the Morrill, act was passed,
restoring and increasing the rates of
the act of lS46, and doubling the exist
ing rates trasing them from IL per
cent to SO per cent The first war
tariff act" was that of July "a, 1862;
the second was the revenue act, of
June 30, 1864. which put an average rate
of duty of 1906 per cent on dutiable
goods the act of 1869 had imposed an
average rate Of 31.2 per cent on such
goods In lS72 a horizontal redue-
ton was made, by which 10 per cent
was taken off the duties then existing.
In these eight years the duties had
not been let alone; there had been
tinkeriug at every session of congress.
In 1879 the reduction was repealed. In
1855 another general tariff act was
passed, slightly reducing the average
duty from about "a to - per cent on
dutiable articles In 1890 the Mckin-
lev act was passed under which the
average duty on dutiable articles is
about a. per cent.

LAFAYETTE had promised to speak the
same dav at Rehoboth church, six
miles away, and so great was the en-
thusiasm that chain of sentinels was
stationed all along the road lead ing
there. Each one of the men passed
the signal of Lafayette's starting from
Perryopolis to Rehoboth by waving
red handkerchief to the other. In less
than three minutes the roar of cannon
announcing the fact could be heard at
the latter place.
Within recent years Perryopolis has
taken more interest in the affairs of
the outside world than ever before.

One of the most remarkable of the
American Indian fire legends is that
of the Utes They tell Of time in the
remote past when all the world. and
the Utes in particular, were without
fire and shivering with cold. One day
a spark fell from heaven and was
caught in the bealk of talking bird,
an operation which, of course, smoth-
cred the fire. The bird was one of the
migratory species, and to make good
the loss, told an old chief what fire
was, and where it could be obtained.
The place the bird told of was far to
the south of the Ute country, but it
was decided to station braves at the
distance of zone run" apart, and in
this way attempt TO bring a lighted
torch from the land of the fire peo-
pie. .
The emissary sent on this important
mission provided himself with an in
destructible torch, in the shape OF a
hcaddress made Of eagle plumes. He
then stationed his men at the distance
of one run apart along the entire route
from the Ute country to the land Of

were driven farther west.
Although commenced in i774, several
years passed before it was finally com
pleted. No sooner was the work fair
~ commenced than the Indians would
become troublesome, the laborers
would get frightened and shortly de
sert to the protection of old Redstone
fort, few miles away. Block houses
were built in the vicinity of the mill in
the hope that they would rely on them
for protection in case of attack, but the
first fresh atrocity of the redskins who
were continually raidlng the frontiers
at that time, would create a new panic.
In few minutes the whole force would
have disappeared and not be heard of
again until the fort was reached.
Valentine Crawford, who had succeed
ed his brother as Washington's agent,
wrote about this time: Il consider it
a pity that the mill was ever begun in
these times"
Finally Washington set about to dis
pose of the. whole business. The revo-
lut:onary war, then going on, prevent
ed him from giving it the attention il
demanded, so that it was not until
1889 that he succeeded in leasing it to
Col Isaac Shreve, one of his old army
comrades. who finally bought it out
right in 1926.
With the property went all the slaves
belonging to Washington. One of
these was a great favorite of the gen
eral, and the poor darby in after years
never tired of sounding the praises of
his former master. Funty Munty-so
he was caIed-became famous in the
history of old Fayette on account of his
interesting recollections. He lived to
be l16 years of age, dying as recently
as 1873. According to the Fayette
county records Funty Munty was
valued at goo in the 3O's, but had fall
