in motion. and n hammer strikes
and explodes percussion cap.

Three IYnys of Doing IT.

The principle involved in the proposed
EQUALIZATION cf Bounties bill is so simple
that mere child can comprehend it. 1t is
this: that if an employer discharges one Of
his workmen, for no other cause than that
he no longer has need of his services, he is
bound to pay him in the same proportion
for the fraction of the term of service for
which he was engaged that he would have
paid him for the whole term. While the
Government may claim, that, by technical
construction of its contracts to pay bounties
to volunteers in the late war, it was justified
in withholding that bounty where the sol
dier did not remain in its service until the
time when the several payments under that
contract fell due, it cannot deny that it was
morally bound to pay so much of the bounty
as was due when the soldier left it's service.
It often happens that courts of equity rec
ognize the validity of claims that have been
barred by technicalities in the courts of ord-
nary procedure, and while the Interpretation
placed by the Government upon the bounty
laws may be legally accurate, it does not fol-
low that it is also equitable. The determine
ton of that question rests with Congress, and
it is to that Tribunal that our soldiers must
now appeal. Five several times already the
House of Representatives has pronounced in
favor of the claimants, and its decision was
once ratified by the Senate, but the Presi-
dent, General Grant, believing that the Gov
ernment was not then in condition finan-
cially to settle the claim, exercised his prerOg-
ative and overruled it with his Veto The
country is prosperous now, the annual sur
plus of Government receipts over expendi-
lures reaches the enormous sum Of $15O,OOO,-
600, and the condition of the Treasury can
no longer be urged rs reason for deferring
the recognition of the claim, SO that our ex-
soldiers have a right to expect from Con-
gress prompt answer to their petitions.
The effect of the bill will be as simple as
the principle involved in it, 1t merely pro-
vides for the payment of eight and one-third
dollars per month for every month of actual
service that our soldiers rendered, less any
bounty which they may have already re-
ceived. All, therefore, that it is necessary
for any one of our veterans to do in order to
ascertain the amount of bounty to which he
would be entitled under the Equalization of
The National tribune., 1882-09-09

Bounties bill, is to multiply the number OF
months which he served in the army by
eight and one-third dollars and subtract
from the total the amount of bounty here
tofore paid to him. Nothing could be SIM
pier.
1t is to Congress, as we have said, that
our comrades must appeal for decision as
to the equity of their claims. How do they
propose to make that appeal? There are
three ways open, and all three have their
special advantages.
In the first place, there is the appeal
through the ballot-box. The election of
members of Congress rests with the people,
and our ex-soldiers cast the controlling vote
in every northern district They hold, there
fore, the key to the situation, and voting
solidly, irrespective of political parties, for
the candidate who is most disposed to pros
tect their interests, they can exercise a
direct and potent influence upon prospect
i've legislation.
In the second place, there is the appeal
through petition. This may be made very
effective if properly employed, but to make
an impression upon Congress the petitions
must be very numerously signed and for
warded from every city and town and Post
~, fha Thar c1,nr11I ha OF lv
worded, and they should reach members
through the hands of some well-known and
influential citizen among their constituents
Congress will act promptly enough when
once it is made to understand that our ex-
soldiers are in dead earnest, and determined
to hold every member personally account
able at the polls for his vote.
Third, and lastly, there is the appeal
through the press, and it is in the col
umns of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE that the
battle is going to be won or lost. We have
enlisted for the war, and until Congress has
taken final action on the. Equalization of
Bounties bill we shall be found in the front
line of the advance. To our ex-s0ldiers we
look for an enthusiastic and substantial sup
port. We depend upon them to recruit our
roll of subscribers so that every comrade in
the land may become interested in the move
ment, and contribute to its success. The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE should have to-day a
circulation of one hundred thousand, and it
will yet have that circulation if our COM
rades will but work, for us as we are work
ing for them.
The National tribune., 1882-09-09

The result is, that not only is immigration
steadily increasing, but it is as surely i'm
proving in character, and our population is
now being recruited from the most desirable
classes skilled artisans, mechanics, and
agriculturalists-and the development of
our unoccupied territory. is likely to be of a
much more substantial and thorough charac-
ter than ever before.
1t is worthy Of note, also, that foreign
capitalists who formerly were in the habit
Of regarding all American investments with
suspicion, are now not only buying our Sc
curities freely, but putting their money into
American lands fisheries, pineries, CATTLE
mines and railroads. It is well-known that
the money tor many of the great specula-
tions which have occurred in Chicago and
other western markets during the last few
years has been supplied by European in
vest0rs. The significance of this fact can
hardly be exaggerated, for, in country which
Is growing at such tremendous rate as this,
the natural increase of capital through the
profits of labor would alone be insufficient
to meet the demands of trade. 1t is well
that these facts about this immigration of
labor and capital should be generally under
stood, lest any one should foolishly imagine
that evil is likely to grow out of it. There
is nothing more certain than that in proper
tion as the labor and capital necessary to
the development of our still virgin resources
become available, the general prosperity of
the country will be enhanced. All countries
are rich or poor according as they do or do
not possess the means Of marketing their
products.

DEPARTMENT Commander Robinson, of
California, writes us this week that Grand
Army Post, with a membership of forty, is
about to be established at Honolulu, Hawaii,
the chief city of the Sandwich Islands. 1t
seems, therefore, that the fame of the Order
hasgone beyond theseas, and that our veterans
who have emigrated to other lands have not
lost their affection for the Republic, but are
still bound by ties of fraternity, charity, and
loyalty to their comrades in the States. AS
we said last week, our ex-soldiers are always
to be found in the van, in the march of civil
lization, carrying the flag of progress as of
old they bore the flag of freedom. Success
to the De Long Post of Honolulu! May it
wax great and prosper, and every one of its
members become regular subscribers to THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE.

DURING President Arthuris visit to New
port he was entertained almost daily at the
residences of the wealthy cottagers and at
one of the dinners given in his honor the
flowers alone, it is said, cost one thousand
dollars! We do not question the right Of
the host to spend that sum in floral decora-
tions, if so disposed, and certainly nothing
could be in better taste than their use upon
such an occasion, but isn't it little queer that
such Journals as the New York SH, and
Herald should be prating about the burden
of internal revenue taxation, and urging the
rejection of pension measures, at time
when such exhibitions of extravaganza are
of common occurrence? Isn't it enough to
bring the tears to the eyes Of any true
patriot to think that thousands of brave men
and helpless widows and children, who have
a just and equitable claim upon the Gov
eminent for support, are forced to eat the
crust of poverty, while the gay butterflies of
fashion, who would spread their wings and fly
away at the first sign of peril to the country,
can afford to spend thousand dollars in
beautifying dinner table with flowers?
