red, and in 1872 tea and coffee were admitted free, and the protective duties received a 10 per cent. horizontal reduction. Party lines were not drawn upon these measures, although the war tariffs had been passed by the Republicans. This 10 per cent. reduction was in 1875 revoked, but the tariff was not generally discussed, although reform bills were introduced in 1876 and 1878. In the campaign of 1880 the Republicans made some use of protection, and the Democratic candidate, Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock (q. v.), referred to it as a local issue. In 1882 the Republicans took up the matter seriously; a tariff commission was appointed, and in 1883 an act was passed; this measure was distinctly protective; some reductions were made in wool, iron, etc., and the duty on steel rails was reduced from $28 to $17.

He was chosen lieutenant-governor in 1766, and became ex-officio chief-justice of the Superior Court. In 1768 he boldly refused to take the oath enjoined on officers of the crown, and in 1769 he was chosen governor. He was the only conlonial governor who espoused the cause of the people in their struggle for justice and freedom. In the absence in Congress of the Adamses and Hancock from New England, Trumbull was considered the Whig leader in that region, and Washington always placed implicit reliance upon his patriotism and energy for support. When Washington took command of the Continental army at Cambridge, he found it in want of ammunition and other supplies, and this want continued, more or less, for months. Trumbull was then governor of Connecticut. The Trumbull House, 1850. On one occasion, at a council of war, when there seemed to be no way to make provisi
