HISTORY OF PROTECTION.
(MoKipJox .Tav~;E

In 1916 our tariff was revised bv
statesmen Ill the interest Of the peo-
pie. They found manufacturers
profits were 20 to 30 per cent while
agriculture yielded but one to eight
per cent. They abolished this unfair
ness, greatly to The advantage IF all
concerned, ond after twelve years Of
mild tariff manufacturers as we'll as
all Others were satisfied with the low
tariff and wealth had multiplied as
never before and, best Of all, it re-
manned with the people who were
thus able to become liberal purchas-
ers.
When in 1890 tariff revision was
entrusted to Mckinley and J. C.
Burrows the statistics Of the last
United States census then available
told them the following facts: The
capital invested in agriculture was
4 IL times greater than that in man
ufactures. The men employed upon
farms were nearly three times more
than the men, women and children in
manufactures. (By fair count of all
hands more than three to one.l The
manufacturers' product was $780,
579,l91 and after paying for mate
rial, labor, salaries, etc., their annual
preht was shown 10 be 50 S-4 per cent.

SOME PAGES TROY g1Y SCRAP BOOK

the scintillations Of an electric light"
An incident Of the battle illus
trates Forrest IS method, or rather lack
Of method, and, in order of recolec-
tions, fits right here: General David
son sent the writer with a message
to General Forrest, urging the I'M
portance of an immediate answer.
The General was found, the message
delivered, and the answer was: "You
go right over there, tell the holders
to hold ten or twelve horses, and fetch
the balance right here" Doubtless
General Forrest was an uneducated
man, and his vocabulary of language
was limited, but the use of the word
fetch, spoken as it was then, struck
the writer with a force of meaning
as never before or since. It did not
mean "order them up here" but
get them and come back with
Them That order was quickly
obeyed, and the ex-holders rejoined
their comrades at the front.
The infantry at last arrived, and
Forrest s men moved around to the
flank. A charge through ravine,
across an open field, in the face Of
sharp fire of musketry, and the seiz-
ure of ridge, which was swept by
the small shot Of the enemy, making
it necessary for the men to take an
other shelter behind the trees-the
view of trailing lire Of infantry
moving to the front-are all remem-
bered. The victory is not forgotten,
the rout of the enemy is remembered,
and the anticipation ef triumphal
re-entry into Chattanooga is fresh in
mind.
The next day the column (mounted)
heads for Chattanooga, but veers
around to the right, and after a long
ride the command is halted on the
Tennessee a few miles eastward. Chat
tanooga, the gateway of the South,
is lost to the Confederacy, though
well-earned Confederate victory has
been won.

sumed or on hand" was not suffi-
clent to pay the men the average
wages in factories by 1856, $4,000
and yielded no per cent Of profit what
ever.
Had there been statesman upon
the committee he would of course
have said, reduce the profits Of the
manufacturers until it will be pcssi-
BILE for men to buy; then manufac-
turers Will make more goods and en-
ploy more laborers who then can buy
more of all products.
1t is not recorded that Mckinley
or Mr.. Burrows had ever made scien-
titc study Of any economic question.
Through all the controversy over the
money question during 1893, 4, IS,
and half of 1896 neither Of them
knew whether he favored the free
coinage of silver until the st. Louis
platform of 1896 told them which
way to shout.
Mr. MCKINLEY was d young lawyer
OF fine presence and some eIoquence.
He allied himself with the Repubi-
can party as the party of enterprise.
1t never seemed to occur to him that
the party Of enterprise had secured
control OF the party to advance their
own fortunes at the expense Of the
public. The manufacturers of his dis
tr1ct elected him to congress and he
remained faithful to their interests.
1t Is matter OF record that MANY Of
the schedules are in the exact phras-
eology as prepared by the manufac-
turers. Like the horse leach their
cry was give, give, give; and the COM
mlttee gave, never once thinking Of
the people whose money they gave.
Take notice that up to this time the
people had never once voted for in
creased duties. The first high tariff,
1873, as we have seen, was desired by
no one but was planned by low tariff
men to punish New England.
Reduction was demanded by the
people and the sliding reduction was
satisfactory for nine years.
In 1910 they voted for an Indian
fighter and for hard cider. They got
an unexpected increase Of tariff rates
against which they protested violent
ly and secured the reduction of 1S46
followed by unanimous further re-
duction In 1857.
Those Of Us who recall the CAM
paign of 1860 remember never a word
said of tariff outside Of Pennsylvania.
The people voted for non-extension
OF slavery and inevitable war tariffs
followed. The people patiently bore
the burden to prosecute the war and
to pay the national debt. There was
never a demand for an increase save
by the few wishing to profit thereby at
the expense of the people. Republican
presidents, congressional committees,
special committees all agreed there
should be reduction of at least 20 per
cent. In 1888 there was unanimous
cry, Yes, yes, that is SO; but, Repubi-
cans added, it should be done by as,
by sits friends" Ninety-nine per

send him across the Tennessee River,
and he would regain the lost city. In
other words, he left Chattanooga that
he might fight for the same prize.
Both armies raced southwark, and
Rucker's Legion, of Pegram' Divi-
sion, and Waldron's Tennessee Bat
talon, held the line Of breastworks on
the mountain and by the river.
Rucker's Legion, consisting OF the
twelfth and sixteenth Tennessee bat
talions, was the writer's command.
He well remembers when the last
Confederate soldier passed through
the town, and vividly calls to mind
the CONSERVATION of the Southern
citizens when they were told that the
Yankees would be there in a few
minutes; but he fails to marshal in
mind the events of the retreat In the
order of their sequence. He remem-
bers when his brigade (Pegram 81
encountered the forces Of General
Wilder, near Leeds lanyard. This
was spirited affair Of several hours
duration, and it closed by the with
drawal of Pegram into camp about
half mile distant, and the resumption
by Wilder of his march on the road
he was travelling when Pegram
struck him. In military parlance, the
Federal General met the Confederate
General Pegram, pushed him aside,
and continued his march.
On the eighteenth of September,
General Forrest received orders to de-
velop the enemy as soon as possible
the next morning, and Pegram was
selected to do the developing with all
his division (having that morning
taken charge of the division, his bri-
gade being assigned to General Fl.
b. Davidson) except Fuckers Legion.
Dismounting his men, Pegram vigor-
ously charged the enemy's skirmish-
ers, and, driving them back, discov-
cred large Federal force overlap
ping his right. Rucker (mounted)
was ordered to charge these, which
was gallantly done, with considerable
loss, yet resulting in the capture of
some prisoners.
The next event called mp in mind
is that which occurred as the column.
moving by "twos," right in front,
was making toward the exposed point.
Just then sweeping discharge Of bull
lets came, in the nature Of a momen-
tary surprise, when General Forrest
himself, in a stentorian voice, gave
the order to dismount, and, unsheath-
ing his sword, shouted, Forward"
Then, with him in the lead, on horse
back, the men double-quicked in the
direction Of the firing, and fought
long and determinedly, like Indians,
moving forward from tree to tree,
while all wondered why the infantry
90 long delayed in coming to the sup
port of the dismounted men. This
event is distinct in memory, because
practically it was the opening of the
bloody battle of Chickamauga, and
because the writer, who that day
served on General Davidson's staff,
