necessity for abating them. While, on the
other hand, the money thus collected will
certainly be required to extinguish the debts
of honor which the Nation contracted at the
time when the shareholders rebellion put its
life in peril. 1t must be confessed, however,
that the movement to compel reduction or
adjustment of these taxes is very formida-
bic. 1t is led by some of the most inhuen-
tial statesmen in the country, the capitalists
whom it will benefit are, of course, in favor
of it, and such newspapers as the New York
Sun and Herald are clamorous for it. Should
it be successful, there is great danger that
the enemies of the soldier would seize upon
it as pretext for opposing all further pen
sion and bounty legislation, and it cannot be
denied that the cry of Gan empty treasury"
is generally sufficient to defeat any measure
in which the soldiers welfare is concerned.
This is the most serious evil that now threat
ems our ex-sodiers, and they should take
advantage of any means that offers to avert it
personal appeals to their Representatives
in Congress, petitions, resolutions, and pro-
tests. Let them speak out loudly and boldly!
The National tribune., 1882-11-16
Prisoners of War Associations.

There is no class of our late comrades who
have more of our earnest sympathy than the
survivors of confederate prison pens, and
none for whose interest THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE is more willing to work. The
speech of Edwin II. Miner, printed on the
first page of this ISSUE must awaken in the
hearts of every thinking mind an earnest
resolve that justice shall be done this
hitherto neglected class of soldiers.
Mr.. Miner well says: "This country owes
at least as high duty to the men who Ian
guished or died in Southern prisons as to
those who fell by the bullet in the ranks !;
men, in most instances, the bravest, because
they were taken from the front of those
brave and resolute ranks with their faces to
the foe"
The survivors bear the marks of the
cruelty from which they suffered in the
form of disease in almost every type.
To unite these men in common cause
and bring their claims prominently before
the people and thus before Congress is one
object to which THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
is devoted. We need not say that the most
practical and therefore the best method by
which the members of the Prisoners of War
Associations can second our efforts is to sub
scribe for THE TRIBUNE, and thus the sooner
enable us to reach the 900 subscribers to-
ward which we aim. Thepower and influence
of a paper like THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
published at the seat of Government, known
to reach half a million readers, devoted TO
the interests of Union soldiers, cannot be
overestimated. We trust therefore that a
systematic effort will be made at all the
meetings of these associations to increase
the number of our readers, and thus increase
in direct ratio the power of THE TRIBUNE
to labor in their behalf.
The National tribune., 1882-11-16
Tariff and Taxes.

With the fall or rise of political parties,
as such, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE does not
concern itself, but the fact cannot be denied
that the success of the Democratic party in
the Congressional elections affords some
reason for the belief that its return to power
will be signalized by the adjustment of the
internal revenue taxes as we'll as the over
throw of our present protective tariff. The
probability of the latter occurrence is not,
as yet, very strong, however, since all Demo-
Gratis are by no means ree-traders, although
most free traders are Democrats. THE Ma
TIONAL TRIBUNE has always stoutly main
tanned the wisdom of imposing q high tariff as
a means Of fostering home industries, and it
believes that, irrespective of party, the great
majority of our bread-winners are of the
same way of thinking. a great change,
indeed, has come over the country in this
respect, within the last few years. For
merly the South and West were strongly
free-trade in sentiment, but, with the growth
of manufactures in those sections, great
revolution of public opinion has taken place
and even in the Prairie States, where one
would naturally expect free-trade ideas to
prevail, the advocates of protection are in
the majority. 1t is quite likely that the
tariff will be materially modified by the
next Congress, but any attenpt to supersede
it with ga tariff for revenue only is pretty
sure to end in failure.
AS for the proposed reduction in internal
revenue taxation, that is question merely
of whether or rot the Government can afford
it. THE TRIBUNE has always taken the
ground that Congress has no right to cut off
this source of revenue until it has provided
for the payment in full of the Governments
obligations to its ex soldiers, and that
it would also be the height of unwis-
dom looking at the matter from q
purely business standpoint do So
The country is now prosperous, and abund-
antly able TO pay, without inconvenience,
the indirect taxes levied upon it by the
general Government, so that there is no real

FROM non-partisan standpoint the grand
causes of the late political tidal wave were
twO-fOId First, the idea that few men were
were allowed to enjoy the emoluments and
dictate TO others in the matter of the offices.
Second, that lawless methods had come into
vogue, and were used to accomplish pOliti-
cal results in defiance of what is conceived
to he fair play. These two. ideas took pos
session of the minds of the people, and for
the nonce party allegiance was forgotten on
both sides The grievance IS as much
against one party as the other, wherever it
is in power Two things must he done to
correct these real or iancied abuses First,
a fixed tenure of Office in the civil service
must be established. Second, preliminary
political methods must be governed by some
law. There must be some simple way Tor
controlling the conduct of primaries and
conventions like that now in vogue, to in
sure the integrity of elections.

nv earnest cOmmendation and such | shall de-
light to honor; but there are, unfortunately,
too many whose conduct in this respect has
called forth this order, and such viii do well to
heed the warning herein addressed to them.
However, this circular viii be handed to all,
and those to whom it applies will readily recog-
nize themselves in the picture drawn. | hope
it will not become necessary to administer so
severe rGbuke again.
Chiefs of divisions are hereby required to
furnish the chief clerk weekly with report
showing the names of those who, after the de-
livery of this circular to them, continue the
embezzlement of time complained of, and to
whom this circular has special reference-no
matter what their grade or position.
VIM. w. DUDLEY, Commissioner.
No more jealous officer than General
Dudley has ever held position in Washing
ton, and it is doubtful if any officer or clerk
in the Pension Office is required by the
Commissioner to perform an equal amount
of work with himself.
After busy day at the Office it is his
regular habit to take bundle of papers
home with him, and at an hour when his
clerks are seeking pleasure or rest, he is
busy Strengthening out the tangled thread of
testimony in some knOtty case.
1t will occur to many of our readers who
are employed early and late at their various
avOcations that six and half hours is not
very long days work and that clerk ought
to be glad to be let off with so short period
of labor. The hours at which Departments
shall open and close are fixed by law and the
most the chief can do is to insist upon full
compliance with the rules. A half hour
idled away by eight hundred clerks each day
equals the loss of sixty-six clerks, and the
Commissioner is determined that so large an
amount of time belonging to the Government
shall not be wasted The Pension clerks
would do well to heed the warning given in
his circular. This justiiies everything that
THE TRIBUNE has said in former numbers
concerning the determination of Commits
sioner Dudley to push forward the important
work of his Office, and we predict that the
future increase in allowances will show that
he fully appreciates the sacredness of the
trust committed to his charge.

THE political parties will soon be back at
the Capital, and then will begin the grand
est game of chess ever engaged in. The
people are the pawns all the time. The
issue between the parties will be the tariff,
and each will attempt to handle the matter
in such way as to secure the popular ap-
proval. There are indications of an inten-
ton on the part of Republican managers to
do nothing with the subject next session
but to hand it all over to the Democratic
Congress.

The Smith Family at Yicksburg.

THE siege of Yieksburg among other
good things brought the Smiths into nOtO-
riety. There was Morgan L. Smith in COM
mand of division, and Andrew Jackson
Smith, John E. Smith, William SOucy
Smith, Giles A. Smith, and Thomas Kilby

staff offices was LEGION" and whether lead
ing forlorn hope ON the enemy's works. or
in cavalry fray, they did their work well
without regard to consequences. When it
comes to non-cOmmissiOned officers and pri-
Yates, the pen falters before the task of
enumerating the number of Smiths who
bore their trusty bayonets in the battles of
Big Black River, Jackson, Champion Hills,
and at the bloody assaults upon Pemberton's
well-defended lines at Vicksburg; but it
may be assumed that, whether in the fierce
attack upon the enemy's works, or in the
less hazardous forays upon the enemys
chicken roosts, they bore their part of the
conflict with manly disregard of personal
consequences. In fact, they may be regarded
as an impersonal family

IT IS pleasant surprise in looking over the
mail books of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, to
see the way in which the whole United States
is being embodied within their pages. There
is not State or Territory in all the vast
domain, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but
what receives The NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Such good result as this is doubly graft
flying to us, because it not only shows that
our efforts are appreciated, but that the SOL
diers and their friends are anxious to keep
up the bond of union and sympathy so many
years after actual war has ceased. The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE on November 18th,
1882, was sent to actual subscribers at the
following number of post-offices throughout

"THIs old soldier business is played out, "
remarked a Government official the other

in a comfortable Government Office, never
lived on an Andersonville bill of fare, or
campaigned between the Potomac and the
