Why you Should Subscribe.

We desire to say a few words to those who have
claims pending before any of the Government
Departments in this city. A large number, per-
! haps aority of them, take or read THE Ma
! TIONAL TRIBUNE because of the great variety
and excellence of what it contains; and probably
not more than ten or twenty in a thousand if
that many, have ever considered the question
why do or ought to take paper?" in a pecu-
MARY sense. They may not have ever thought
that by paying out say dollar and a half for
! fifty-two numbers of live weekly journal in
twelve months they could save in the item of
postage alone, enough to pay their years sub
scription But many claimants can do this as
we shall demonstrate before we have finished.
For illustration, let us suppose case as follows:
John Jones files claim for pension through an
attorney in this city.
Supposing he writes to his agent an average of
one letter per week land we know of instances
where the average would be double that speci-
fed, his postage, at single rates, would amount
at the end of the first year to one dollar and ftv-
six cents. If he also holds correspondence with
the Department as well, as some do the amount
would be increased in proportion to the addi-
tional number of letters sent. The majority lat
least twO-thirds) of this correspondence is abso-
lutely unnecessary; and, if So dollar has been
needlessly expended. We say unnecessary, be-
cause it relates chiefly to the condition of the
hon hafor - !,
long before pension can be acknowledgements to
hurry up the case, &c, &c.
All this information, had the claimant taken
paper like THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, would have
been found, from time to time, substantially
given in it's columns. Of course particular cases
would not have been mentioned, but the condi-
ton of business in the Pension Office would have
been set forth so that interested parties could
have judged for themselves how their own mat
tiers stood. But this is not all. John Jones finds |
during the progress of his claim, that the testi-
mony of some particular witness, an officer or
cOmrade, is necessary, and he does not know the
of single member of his company
or regiment having knowledge of the required |
facts. If he were subscriber to the TRIBUNE
he could have an advertisement inserted calling
for the pOst-office addresses of such witnesses
free of charge, and thus owing to wide circula-
ton of the paper, stand good chance for success
in finding them out. To advertise in the regular
way would cost from one dollar and a half to
three dollars and if the advertisement were to
be put in paper other than one devoted to the
interests of soldiers and sailors, and one, there
fore, not having large circulation among them,
