Important Notice.

Desiring to extend the usefulness of our paper
to the widest possible extent, and in order that
no exsoldier or other person interested in matters
growing out Of the war of the rebellion May have
reasonable excuse for not taking it, we have con-
cluded to fix the subscription price, until March
81, 1882 at one dollar per annum.
Those who have heretofore sent one dollar and
fifty cents for single subscription, by sending
half dollar more with an additional name and
address, will be granted an additional copy, thus
bringing their individual subscription down to
one dollar for ifty-two numbers. Those wishing
to become subscribers, should, in view of the
above offer, send on their one dollar at once, and
those who have already sent one dollar and fifty
cents. should, without delay remit the remaining
half dollar with another subscriber before the
new year commences.

The Great American Sheep Tick.

The New York Tribune is the accredited organ
of Jay Gould, the railroad manipulation It
favors the monopolists who compel farmers to
pay exorbitant freight rates for the transporta-
Of the money kings who are grinding the labor
ing classes into the dust. 1t is the paper that
published letter recommending the assassina-
ton of General Grant while he was President
it is the paper that most vindictively bounded
the late President Garfield with the charge of
official dishonesty and corruption; it is the paper
that, on the eve of the rebellion, advocated the
policy of letting the ''wayward sisters depart in
peace" and it is the paper which is now CHASING
the men who saved the Union among thieves,
swindlers, and perjurers. Figuratively speaking,
it is the great American journalistic Sheep Tick.
1t burrows its repulsive head in the body polite,
keeping it's rear well exposed, and sucks out the
life-blood, leaving tumefaction where it has
been to mark its presence. 1t is now working
upon Congress, endeavoring to create fostering
sore that shall induce that body to repeal the
Arrears of Pension Act. We doubt the success
of its endeavor: but yet knowing its persistency,
which is equal to that of its diminutive name
sake-the sheep tick-we urge all who desire to
see Justice maintained to unite with us in scotch
ing the pest by exposing it to the blistering sun
of public opinion and an honest peoples wrath.

A Political Jeremy Diddler.

That Carl Schurz should advocate the repeal Of
the Arrears of Pension Act is not to be wondered
at He was the "Tickle-me-Tommy" of the late
John A. Bentley, and urged the passage of the
infamous Sixty Surgeon Bill to the extent of his
ability He is the Jeremy Diddler of American
politics-always endeavoring to raise the wind
During certain seasons he has set price for his
performances 5000 per night and expenses
These seasons only occur, however, during presi-
Dental campaigns, when he lets himself out to
the highest bidder-no bid of less than the
amount above indicated being considered. AS
editor of the New York Post he is fitting CO.
laborer of the New York Tribune's chief We
sincerely commend him to the execratioD, which
he justly deserves, of every man whose patriot
ism caused him to lift hand in defence Of the
Union upon the field of honor. Schurz, though
he wore our uniform, was simply an adventurer,-
political free lance devoid of patriotic impulses
or sympathy for those with whom he fought, and
ignorant of even the commonest principles of JUS
tice, else he would not now class his old comrades
who, though of humble rank, are nevertheless
the peers of the noblest in the land) among
thieves, swindlers and knaves as he does when
clamoring for the repeal of the Arrears of Pen
sion Act.
The National tribune., 1882-01-14

AN equalization of bounties means $50 per
month to every ex-soldier for all the time actually
served, previous payments to be deducted. For
instance, if John Smith served three years, and
received at the close Of the war $500 bounty, he
would, under the proposed law, be entitled to
500 more; or if Brown enlisted, and was dis
charged by reason Of disability resulting from
disease, instead Of wounds, before two years
service, so that he got no bounty, or, having en-
listed for less than two years, received none,
in either of these cases he would become under
an equalization act, entitled to $50 per month
for the time served, whether the same was one,
two, three, or more months.
The National tribune., 1882-01-14

WHILE we were at the front fighting to main
tain the supremacy of the Government those
who are now advocating the repeal of the Arrears
of Pension Act and opposing the passage of an
act to equalize bounties were, as class, at home
coming money out of our blood and sutferings
Nothing less than seven per cent. interest in
gold on bonds free from taxation would satisfy
them then; now they eagerly snatch at a chance
TO get three and a-half or four per cent. their
investment in bonds Then they considered the
Government at their mercy financially, and
insisted upon not only their pound of flesh but
the blood also. Now the Nation is rich and pros
porous, and can, if need be, borrow any amount
of money abroad at the very lowest rates, and
their patriotism has increased with the fnan-
cial progress of the country
Looking over the past we think their course
would seem al this present time more patriotic
had they made easier terms for their debtor
when easier terms were sorely needed.

Camp-fires and Army Reunions.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is always glad to
receive reports of Camp-fres, Army Reunions,
meetings of the G. A. R., and other matters of
special interest to ex-soldiers, but desires them
at the earliest possible moment. The editor is
continually in receipt of such reports, some of
them two or three months old, and therefore not
to be considered as news. We ask that our
friends will oblige us by being more prompt,
and then their communications will be made
available
The National tribune., 1882-01-14
TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS,

The Postmaster General has decided that the
Commissioner of Pensions may furnish members of
Congress with departmental postage stamps or
franked envelopes in which the latter can forward
communications from the Pension Office containing
an official statement of the condition of claims pre-
sented by the constituents of such members
The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that
whenever manufacturer of grain bags made from
imported materials, shall reserve to himself the
benefit OF drawback, under section 3O19 of the Re-
vised Statutes, by an appropriate and permanent
inscription upon each bag, he shall be permitted to
make the export entry and receive the drawback
upon compliance with the existing general regula-
lions relating to expectations for drawbacks under
said law, and he shall be deemed the exporter of
such bags, whoever may be the owner of the bags
and the grain therein shipped to foreign ports.

EQUALIZATION of Bountjes.

A bill to equalize bounties was passed by Con-
gress just in the closing hours Of the last session,
not long after the war, but failed to become law
for want of the Presidents approval. The measure
was then opposed it is being opposed now by the
money kings. They said, as they now say, that
to pay all claims under such an act would bank
rupt the Government. They clamored for the
payment of their bonds and interest thereon, and
insisted that the soldiers wait for the amounts
Justly due them until the Nation should be in a
more prosperous condition financially.
Not wishing to bring on bondholder's rebel
lion so soon after the close of bloody war, the
Executive gave heed to their objections, and, as
we have intimated, vetoed the measure.
This all happened something like twelve years
ago, since which time we have paid off nearly If
not quite one-half of the National debt, includ-
ing more than billion of dollars in interest to
the bondholders. During all this period the SOL
diers have waited until the present, or until
death stepped in to settle the account between
the Government and themselves.
The time has now arrived when both Justice
and common honesty demand that the claims,
payment of which has been so long delayed,
shall be settled. The Government is amply able
to pay every dollar without increasing taxation
or in any manner interfering with the gradual
reduction of the public debt. The United States
were never so prosperous as at present. never
before has the Treasury been burdened with
such an immense surplus of money,-and we in
sist that it is the plain duty Of Congress during
this session to pass an act equalizing bounties,
and thus deal as justly with the men who saved
the Union as those have been dealt with who,
taking advantage of the necessities of the hour
loaned it money at high rates of interest and
grew rich from its misfortunes.
The National tribune., 1882-01-14
Mexican Veterans.

Several bills have been introduced in Congress
providing pensions to soldiers of the Mexican
war.
But for the opposition being developed on the
part of the money kings, one of the measures
would doubtless be made a law before the end
of the present session.
AS things are, however, nothing except united
effort by those interested, aided by all who de-
sire to see justice done to brave and meritorious
class of citizens, can save from defeat a measure
whose justice cannot be successfully assailed.
1t is burning shame that the men who gave
us California Texas, and other valuable territory
who added thousands of millions of dollars to
the wealth of the country should be compelled,
year after year, to petition the Government for
the small pittance of S. per month to assist in
keeping them comfortable during the remainder
of their rapidly. declining lives. We say it is
shame and disgrace, and venture the assertion
that the time will yet come when the Nation will
desire to forget that such treatment was ever
meted out to those who so nobly sustained its
flag on foreign soil, and brought such untold
riches into it's overlooking Golfers

passing resolutions OF undying affection for us,
complimenting our valor and solemnly pledgng
themselves TO ever remember our sacrifices and
suerings, and to care for the disabled, and widows
and orphans Of the dead. Like the Mississippi

floating down the river upon dark night with
nothing between himself and a watery grave
but single plank, they were most Internally

The war was scarcely over, however, before they

for home and a new Job.

ABsoLuTIsM PROCLAIMED IN PRUSSIA.

An imperial rescript dated January 4, counter
signed by Prince Bismarck, has been addressed to
tile PruSSian Ministry. 1t says: The right of the
King to direct the government and policy of Prussia
in accordance with his judgment is restricted,
not abrogated, by the constitution The official
acts of the King require the cOunters gnatHre of
minister and are carried out by his minister; but
they remain the official of the King, in whose
resolve they originate, and who in them gives
stitutional expression to his will. Therefore it is
not permissible to represent their exercise pro-
ceeding from responsible ministers. The Prussan
constitution is the expression of the mOnarchical
tradition of this country, whose development
on the living relations of its Kings to the people
These relations cannot be transferred to ministers
because they appertan to the power of the King,
and their maintenance is necessary for Prussia. 1t
is therefore my will that in Prussia and also in the
legislative bodies of the Empire, doubt will be
allowed to attach to my constitutional right or
that of my successors TO personally direct the
policy of the government 1t is the duty of my
ministers to support my constitutional rights by
protecting them frem doubt and obscurity, and
expect the same from all officials who have taken
the oath Of loyalty to me. l am far from wishing
to restrict the freedom Of elections but the func-
tiCnaries intrusted with the execution of my official
acts are bound to support the policy of my govern
ment even at the elections | shall acknowledge
the faithful discharge of this duty, and shall ex-
pect all officials remembering their oath of allie
glance to hold aloef at the elections from all
agitation against my government.

IT is an old saying that "you may lead a horse
may, however, elect man to Congress, and then
persuade him to vote in the right direction, even
if his inclinations are the other way. To do this
it is only necessary to work unitedy, giving can
didates for office to understand that they are but
the servants of the people, and must obey the
popular will or be retired to private life. The
"soldier element" is yet far too powerful to be
disregarded with IMMUNITY, except in the South.
The sooner our northern and western statesmen
are made to understand this fact, the better it
will be for themselves, as well as for the pen
sioners and other Just creditors of the Govern
ment whose interests it is their duty to subserye

LAST week we adverted to the necessity of
the employment of larger clerical force in the
Pension Office. At least FIVE hundred additional
appointments should be made; and if our friends
and those who are interested will come to our
assistance by sending on their subscriptions we
will do our part towards bringing about the de-
sirable result.
The National tribune., 1882-01-14

IN response to large number of inquiries we
take occasion to state that in all cases filed in the
Pension Office since June 10, 1878, the fees are
payable, not by the Government but by the
success, but are coliectable when the claim is
filed. This is due to the late John A. Bentley,
who secured the repeal of the old law, which
provided fees only in case of success.

The National tribune., 1882-01-14

DURING the war it is to be presumed that only
the best soldiers in the ranks received promotion
and yet a man who enlisted and who, under the
law, became entitled to three hundred dollars
bounty, more or less, according to date and time
of enlistment, was deprived of so much thereof
as had not already been paid in the event Of his
being made a commissioned officer.
The act for the equalization of bounties should
when passed, include a proposition to pay
bounties to all who were in the ranks, for the
time so served, regardless of their subsequent
promotion. This is a matter of simple justice.

TODAY as people, we are the richest and most

but just that the claims of those who made those
acquisitions for us be remembered.
