including First and Second Bull Run,
Spottylsvania, The Wilderness, Gettys-
burg and many others. On one occa-
sion, he was captured, and taken a
prisoner of war, to the famous Libby
prison, and was one of the last to be

change. Capt, Fuller was the only
officer of the 3rd Maine, who was able

Speaker Clark discussed at length
the tariff bill and currency measure,
arguing that the Democrats had made
good their promises to the country,
and were entitled IL the kind eff APP

He said in part:
1T is written: BY their works We

ity, we are willing to have the same
test applied to us.
I'VE declared that the works of the
Republicans for 16 years were not for
the best interests of the country and
shoul1 not he satisfactory to the peo-
pie. The people took us at our word
and thrust the Republicans into outer
darkness where there is weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth and a
great deal of profane swearing.
at Baltimore in our platform, we
made a multitude of promises In my
judgment. the most important prom
iSo made at Baltimore was to revise the
tariff downward. That promise is al
most an accomplished fact. Our tar
if bill will in all human probability
be upon the statute books before the
middle of September. In my judgment
il is a good tariff bill

written it. All important legislation is
: tissue Of compromises and oonces-
sions. Nobody can get everything that
lie wants in this world. We believe that
our tariff bill will reduce the cost of
living. more fairly adjust the subjects
of tariff taxation and at the same time
raise an abundant revenue for tie gov

Our tariff bill would not raise
enough money to pay the expenses of
