are less worthy Of public esteem and respect
than when they were fighting the battles Of

Inundated and degraded by having their
names Paraded before the public through

Senator Beck to say that no honest man

to an announcement that some Of those on

Senator Beck like to see his name published

can imagine with what show of virtuous

ELSEWHERE in these columns we have
set forth at some length the reasons Why it
would be unwise in our judgment, to pass
the bin now pending in the Senate for the
reduction of internal revenue taxation, but
we desire to call special attention to the fact
that while the object of the measure is osten-
sibIy to Tighten the burdens of the people its
effect is simply to cut down the revenues
Consider the items separately. The repeal
Of the tax on bank capital involves reduc-
ton of $911, 600; how are the public to be
benefited thereby? The revenue sacrificed .
by taking off the tax On bank deposits is
S2,950000; the banking business is profit
able enough without this extra plum. The
check stamp tax-which costs nothing to
collect-yields q revenue of 2.254.OO0, and
it falls upon class that are abundantIy able
10 bear it. The tax on matches produces
53.278GO0; the chances are that the match
monopolists viii pocket this sum without
making any reduction to the consumer, IN
less driven to it by the competition Of
smaller dealers. Proprietary medicines, per-
fumery, &c, pay an annual tax of s, $4,000,
and the manufacturers openly admit that
they do not intend to reduce the price of
their goods If the tax is taken OFF, and for
the simple reason that their articles are
generally retailed at twenty-five or fifty
cents and it would be impracticabIe to make
a change of a cent or two in these prices. .
Here, then, is total Of ST, 600 reduc-
ton in the revenues without practically any
reduction at all in taxation. In the case of
tobacco, the consumer really wiz benefit to
some extent by the proposed reduction; but
even then there is this drawback, that it
VIII cost the Government just as much to
collect q fraction as the whole of its present
revenue from this source, 50 that either the
tax on tobacco should be abolished entirely
or left as it is. As for sugar 100000 re-
duction) and Bessemer steel rails Isl, 328,O 900
reduction, we confess our total inability TO
account for the sudden change Of trent which
some of our Republican friends exhibit in
regard to these articles. It amounts to an
acknowledgment on their part that now that
they have created Tariff Commission they
are unwilling to await the results Of its de-
l,bsrations. It is shocking mess all round,
and the best thing Congress can do is to let
the revenues alone.

proposes UnaJ the Government shall do. 1t
is true that there was a surplus Of $150,O00,-
600 in the Treasury at the close Of the last
fiscal year, and there is likely to be a goodly
surplus also at the expiration of the present
year, but every cent viii be required to meet
the charges upon the Government now exist
ing or that viii be created before the disco
luton Of the present Congress, and to cut off
this surplus revenue is practically TO stop
the process of debt paying and ultimately
to create q deficit which VIII have 20 be met
out Of the revenues Of some future year.
Under the Arrears Act and the provision of
this years Legislative Executive, and Judi
ciaI bin, increasing the force in the Pension
and kindred Offices so as to admit of the
adjustment Of all pending claims within
the next three years, there VIII be required
some S40O,O00,GJD to meet the fixed obliga-
tions Of the Government on account of pen
sions alone, and unless Congress proposes TO
repudiate this most sacred Of all debts we do
not see how it can justify any reduction of
the revenue. One may obtain absolution
Tor his sins, but pay day is something
that neither individuals nor nations can
escape.
We need hardly say that for our ex-
soldiers and sailors this proposed reduction
Of the revenues possesses a vital personal
interest. Should the bin now pending be-
come law it wlll not only prove 4 serious
obstacle to all pension legislation in the fu-
ture,' bat perhaps embarrass the operation Of
existing laws. Such result would not be
merely dcplorable-it would be ruinous to
many thousands whom the inexcusable
delay in the adjustment Of pension claims
has kept for months and years in a state
between hope and despair, the prey of pow
erty and the victims of ingraGtade. We
feel, therefore, that even at this eleventh
hour they should make an effort to prevent
the passage Of the now mis-named Kelley
bill, or, falling that, to secure a presidential
veto. Let every reader Of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE and our soldiers and sailors gener-
ally write at once to Their Representatives
in Congress and the Senators of the several
States and urge them to cast their votes
against this measure. 1t has not been
brought forward in response to any public
demand, it is designed to benefit the rich
manufacturer rather than the poor con-
sumner, and there is not single business
| interest in the country that viii suffer by
its defeat. The banks, the patent medicine
makers, and sugar monopolists may miss an
| opportunity 10 put another fortune in their
already swollen pockets, but that is all.
The country, as whole, was never so pros
porous as to day, nor did the burden of in
/ tcTnal revenue taxation ever sit so lightly
on the shoulders of the people. Let the
revenues alone! That is the cry that should
go up to Congress from the home of every
veteran in the land.

our first martyr-president, cannot but be
regarded as q happy release for lady who

that she died by the same bullet that killed
her husband, for the shock so wrought upon
her nervous organization that she never
afterwards regainei control Of her physical or
mental faculties. The story Of her seven
teen years Of widDwhood is one Of the sad
dest on record. Tor her, life afforded no con-
solation and Tine, which usually is a solace
for all mortal griefs, failed to temper the
soreness of her affection. RacIsed with
disease, she sought in vain way Of escape
from her sufTeriIlgs until she found ii at last

luIl report of the debate over Mr.. Beck's
amendment and we trust our readers viii
not fail to give it most careful pcrdsal.
As we have before had occasion TO remark,
the most dangerous enemies Of the soldiers
in Congress are not those who openly avow
their opposition to the payment Of pensions
but men like Senator Beck, who, while
pretending to DO concerned only in the pro
lection of the Government against fraud,
seek to make the whole BODY OF our pen
sioners the object of public suspicion, a2d
this last attempt cannot but be regarded as
the most insidious Of all. Hitherto they
have contented themselves with making
general charges Of fraud against the pension
establishment based chiefly upon eX-Com-
missioner Bentley's ex-paFte statements,
which the records of the Pension Bureau
itself prove to have been essentially false,
and demanding the enactment Of more
rigorous laws for the detection and pun
ishment Of these alleged frauds, but
this latest proposition is in The nature
of an Indictment Of the entire pension
list and its purpose is evidently to
bring the very name OF pensioaer' into
opprobrium. How utterly without justidca-
lion it was and how clearly prompted by
malice may be seen from the fact that the
laws and regulations already in force ere
amply sufficient to protect the Pension
Bureau against fraud, and ihat by tha terms
of the very bill to which this amendment Of
Senator Beczs was intended to apply the
Commissioner Of Pensions is invested with
The most extraordinary powers 4or the in
vestigation Of suspicious eases, by section
3, he is empowered 10 summon Though The
United States courts any number Of Wit
nesses Whose testimony can be taken by
any Of his employees when he may
delegate for the purpose to prove the
fraudulent character Of II claim, while
the claimant, on his part. Is denied tLa5
right IN toto If with such discretionary
powers, the Commissioner cannot prevent Or
detect fraud, it may well be said that it is
only because fraud does not exist Jt,is in

/
The annual Pension appropriation bill
passed the Senate on Saturday last in sub
stantially the same form in which it came
from the House, none of the amendments
! adopted affecting the general scope or purpose
Of the measure. The total amount appro-
I.priated by the bill is, in round numbers, one
| hundred millions Of dollars, or all that was
! estimated for by Commissioner Dudley, and
it is a cause for substantial satisfaction shat
in spite of the hostility of such Journals as
the New York Hcyol5 and SIM, both Houses
/ ofCongress have had the manliness to vote the
money. OF the amendments to the bill,
those which attracted the most attention in
/ the Senate were Section 5, which prohibits
the drawing Of double pensions except by
the express authority OF Congrcss-a pro,
vision made necessary by the recent extra
ordinary ruling of the Attorney General
that the present law sanctions the drawing
by the same person Of one pension under the
general law and another under a special act,
even when the language Of the act is tlat
the second pension is granted in lieu of The.
frst-and the last paragraph Of section :,
which reads as follows:
"The Secretary Of the Interior shall an
nually hereafter transmit to Congress, at IL
BEGINNING OF each regular session. u list Il
all persons borne on the pension rolls, CLASH
fed according to their p0st-otea address ~
States and counties, Jda amount lad auHu-
ally to each, and also t stu eucIj each rcfr
OF those dropped from the rolls and those
added to the rolls"
The object of this amendment, we suppose,
was two-foId: 10 guard against fraud and
facilitate the labors OF the Pension Commit
tees, and we We're not disposed to take serious
exception 10 it, although we Go not think il
was likely to accomplish much good in any
direction and we can conceive Of circuul-
stances under which it might have been pro
ductive of great harm-as, for instance, had
copies of the list of pensioners fallen into the
hands of " confidence men," The manages
of so-called gift enterprises" end other
swindlers of that type. As the aTnendmynt
was ruled out on a point Of orde-, however,
it is now of no consequence what would h.ye
been its effect. Mr. Beck's amendment,
which was offered in the Senate during ,he
final debate upon the passage Of the bill Oh
Saturday last, was to the effect that .ba
Commissioner Of Pensions should be re-
quired once in each year TO publish il at
least one newspaper in every county in the
United States list of all pensioners and !
applicants for pensions residing in that
county, and also put the list at every post |
Office; and, under the pretence THAI such
public advertisement was necessary to the |
prevention and exposure of fraud and that
it was desired and demanded by the soldiers
themselves, Mr.. Beck made characteristic !
speech in It's support. lie was ably answorei i

Let the Revenues Alone,

Let the Revenues Alone!
! For the past week the Senate has been
struggling with the Kelley Internal Reve-
nue bIll-changed now SO much, alas! that
we fear its author would never recognize it
il its present shape-and the further the
debate has progressed the more evident it
has become that no matter in what form it
finally becomes n law the Republicans are
not likely 10 profit by it politically. Indeed,
even at this late day, it would be an act Of
wisdom on their part to lay it over until the
December session. The Kelley bill in its
original shape was a comparatively unohjec-
5ional measure, and although we have never
believed that the time had come when a
reduction OF Internal revenue taxation could
be justified on grounds Of public policy, the
amount inyolved-less than twenty millions
Of douars-was so triGing that we felt indis-
posed to antagonizc it, From the first, how
ever it was evident that The Democrats as
body, and considerable number Of Repub-
Iicars also, were in favor Of making much
more sweeping reductions than the bill con-
templated, and but for the able leadership of
Judge Kelley it would doubtless have been
materially amended before it left the House
; { is now to be regretted that it passed at
all, for when reported from the Senate
Finance Committee lis scope was found 10
have been so enlarged by amendments as
TO provide for 4 reduction of forty millions
in the revenues, or more than twice the
amount provided for in the original meas
ure At present writing the bill is still
under discussion in the Scnate-where the
previous question is unknown and the
largest liberty Of debate is allowed-and the
Democrats, taking advantage of the opening
afforded by the Republicans themselves, are
making the most strenuous exertiops to
secure still further reductions. The whisky
and the tobacco interests, as well as the
suger interest, have their special champions
on the floor CT the Senate, and to read the
lattcrs' eloquent appeals one might suppose
that the country was being ruined by Excess
siye taxation, instead of enjoying, as is the
fact, an unprecedented ana unexampled pros
perity.
Now, if the Government had at this time
discharged or made adequate provision for
the discharge Of all It's obligations-if the
public debt were paid off and all that is due
or viii be due in the shape OF pensions and
bounties to our ex-soldiers and sailors also
iguidated-no1e would more earnestly adj
vocate a reduction Of internal revenue taxa
ton than ourselves; but it is contrary to all
business principles, the observance of which
is quite as essential to the conduct of public
as private affairs, to do so while these obi
cations remain unsatisGed What would be
thought in the business world Of a merchant
who should release LIS debtors from their
obligations before he had paid his creditors"
