uheating the Soldier AGAIN.

i
The Radical managers in
the House are evidently
smarting under the exposures
made through the columns of
the Digest, Of their perfdy
to the soldiers. To get into
office they promised the boys
and men who would go to war,
that they should all have
bounties and bounty land.
No less than thirty gener-
ais, colonels, majors, ect., and
dozens of civilians like Bing-
ham, who fought only with
their tongues and teeth, all
made these promises over and
over again to the brave lads,
and they called the Gods to
witness that as soon as they
got into Congress, the sold
iers should have their rights.
But no sooner did they get
their seats than they voted
the soldiers rights into their
own pockets, by increasing
their own pay to $1,000 a
year.
No three, six, nine, or
twelve months man has ever
yet got a dollar Of money
bounty, except some who
were wounded, and not one of
the two millions of men who
went into the field have ever
got an acre of land.
But Presidential election
is approaching. Something
must be done to secure the
soldiers vote again for Radi-
calism and the elevation of
negroes. So the other day
they reported a bill to give all
soldiers, white and black, $8.-
33 per month bounty, to be
paid in land scrip, not money.
The bond-holder is to get
gold interest on his bonds,
and be free from taxes, while
the soldier is only to get land
scrip, and out Of that pay his
own and the bond-holders
taxes.
Why do not these Radical
Congressman take land scrip
for their own pay, and let the
soldiers have the money they
were promised 7
{. Why do not these gentle
men fulfil their pledges, and
be honest to the soldiers in
stead Of tricking them out of
their money, and only paying
them fifty cents on the dollar,
of their promises, andthat in
land scrip, to be afterwards
eaten up in heavy shaves ex-
acted by brokers and shavers,
who are generally partners Of
Congressman.
We tell the soldiers this
bill is all cheatery, but it is
all they will probably ever
get, until the return of a
Democratic Congress.
Let them get what they
can under Radical leaders,
then get the balance by
pumping their votes for DEM
ocratic candidates for the
next Congress-.
