The estimate presented to the House
Of Representatives,, by the Secretary of
War, OF the probable expenditure in-
volyed in the bill now under discussion is
startling. The bill would grant to our SOL
diers bounty land warrants rcdeemabe
in certificates Of Indebtedness, and the
Secretary informs the Committee on Mil
itary Affairs that tho aggregate amount
of these certificates would be about 1891
467 800. Add to this proposed ex-
tension Of the benefits Of tho bill to the
heirs cf 327 1874 officers and soldiers and
we have a total amount Of s456, 90l 400.
This for the army only. National gener-
osity is praseworthy, and we take an
honorable pride 10 that which the United
States has already shown, but when it is
proposed to increase our debt by about
one fifth, Prudence may well tap Gcner-
osity on the shoulder.

They work easily, rapidly, noiseessly, and
arc not liable to get out of order
Washington, D. c., April 60 1872
Having bought and used four OF your Wheel
or s. Wilson Sewing Machines for the last sew
cntccn years in my family, and to the entire
satisfaction and pleasure of every menb Der there
of we therefore cordially unite, from sense of
duty, in recommending it to the public gener-
ally rs being the best, the easiest running, most
desirable and most durable Sewing Machine we
have ever known.
NV two little daughters when they were
so small that their feet, when sitting on chair,
would not roach the treadle and were consc-
quently obliged to stand on one foot and run
the machine with the other, which they could
and did do right along with perfect ease and
comfort. Both of them to- day own one, and to
part with them would be like parting with a
dear friend.
| bought nv Wheeler s. Wilson seventeen

needed the least repairs and is just as good to-
day, to all appearances, as it WIS when l first
bought it.
