THE GREAT LAM CRAn

We have received pamphlet Of eight
pages, without signature, unless the words
ut the end OF 1t, "approved by one thousand
soldiers, can be called 4 signature, in which
recent article In this journal is made the
text OF an argument In favor Of the passage,
by the Senate, Of the soldiers and sailors
land bounty bill. The article to which excep-
tion Is taken 10 as follows:
at Is TO be hoped that the Senate will reject
the land-grab bill which passed the House OF
Representatives last week. Il Is simply q swlndle
ring OF land tpeculatOrs to steal eighty or one
hundred million acres OF the public iands under
the gulae OF patriotism and love for the soldier
and sailor OF the late war. As the law stands
now any soldier or soldiers child or widow can
obtain homestead on the easiest and simplest
terms, and there Il no necessity whatever for the
with 30 much ease. II II should become A law II
Will simply transfer an immense xtent OF terri
tory TO gang OF land sharks at Comparatively
trlnlng cost or no cost NJ all. II should be en-
titled An act TO legalZe the stealing OF the Dub
lie domain II the Senate will not do its duty in
the matter by killing IL the President should
promptly veto II.
The authors Of the pamphlet declare that
the above article Is Islander upon u.s."
Who the ''us" are we are not told so that we
have no means of knowing whether 1t Is a
slander Or not. We do not believe IL Ia. and
the fact that 1t Is not vouched for by a single
name Is pretty good proof that the persons
who are running 1t are ''ring Of bond
spectators, who are attempting to 'steal
seventy or eighty millions OF the public
lands" The Grand Army OF the Republic,
the representative military organization Of
the late war, has passed resolutions de.
nOunclng the bill. Gen. Hawlcy and other
gentlemen In the House. who we believe had
something to do with the late war, opposed II
In the House, and did all they could to defeat
II. The authors Of the pamphlet have not
seen I'll 10 explain away these facts, and when
they do we shall begin to attach some weight
TO what they say, and TO perhaps withdraw
the opinion we entertain OF them as down
right imposters and swindlers. As to the
point that unless the public lands are given
to them they will go to railroad corporations
the answer Is easy and simple. 1t has nothing
whatever to do with the question. The
Philadelphia platform takes square ground
against that policy In the future, and when
ever proposition Of that character comes
before Congress We mean to oppose il as we
oppose the present Job Again, we express
the hope that the Senate will not pass the
III, and that II 1t does that the President will
veto II. il Is barefaeed swindle.

MIR. MONROE's TWENTY-FIVE MIL
LION BILL.

On Monday last the Hon. JAMES Monroe
introduced bill in the House authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue twenty
five millions Of national bank notes, to be
distributed among the States and Territories
which have less than their proportion OF cir
culation under new reapportionment Of the
national banking circulation based upon the
late census. The additional circulation au-
thoriLed by the bill was provided for by the
act Of July u, 1870, but the portions OF the
country which 1t is proposed to benefitby the
present bill were not then In condition 10
avail themselves Of the act alluded to. The
result was that the entire circulation author
lied by the act of July, 1870 was taken by
the North and East, from which IL is now i'm
possible to Withdraw 1t. Mr.. Monroe's bill is
intended to get rid Of an obvious difficulty in
the execution Of the act Of 1871, the provi-
sions Of which cannot be otherwise carried
out. The proposed increase Is virtually an
expansion OF thecurrency; but Mr.. Monroe
Is contractionist, and has introduced the
bill as a means Of extricating the Depart
ment from difficulty out of which there IL
no other way of escaping except by a repeal
of tn law.
