SHALL SOLDIERS BE PAID IN GOLD

10 the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
A bona .fde and valid contract, made by the
Government with the volunteers of the late
war, agreeing TO pay him 81, $I3, $16 q month,
IS Just as binding and sacred-to be paid in gold,
or coin, or its equiyalent-as il was to pay the
bondholder. The bonds were paid in gold.
Even the $i00,00O,0O0 issued March g. 1863,
were made gold payment by the Forty fifth
Congress. This is a precedent, and opens the
question Of doing justice to the volunteers, who
were paid in deprecated money, thereby losing
q large percentage, for the years 1869, 'Gi, 'G5,
and '6G. The question Of equal payments is
superior 10 ali others, for the volunteer was
promised 50 much money month in gold for
services. The service was rendered and ac-
cepted by the Government, and the Union of
the States maintained.
Task, would bank or the bondholdcr submit
TO loss Of from $l3.SI TO $l275 on each 500
earned? No! And should the volunteer suffer
loss, when he was unable to issue his protest
against receiving such deprecated payment,
being under duress-military law? All must
answer nol The average loss on each $IO0
earned during the year 1862 was $t3.S1; during
1868 it was S3l.G0; during 1864 it was $42.S3 ;
during 1860 1t was $36.S3. The monthly pay
was $l1, $l3 SIG a month. And for the year
1862, out Of $l55 earned, the volunteer lost
$2l.5l; for the year 1863, ont of $I56 earned,
he lost $49.25; Tor the year 1864, out of $50
earned, he lost S1G95, and for the year 1865, out
Of Slg2 earned, he lost $7071-a total loss of
s2IS.49, ont Of S6S4 earned, (if employed all the
time.) or y per cent. Oh the average
On. Of this sum of $156 trather $l2440) the
volunteer had TO support his family if married,
and sometimes father and mother. Prices ad-
vanced upon all articles Of consumption; real
estate went mp; rents also.
Officers received no bounty whatever and
the private none unless he was in the service
two .aa-s or was wounded.
The aG1Fe losses are taken from reliable
fables o. goid values each month from January
/. 1862 until January /, 1866, and no process
OF reasoning can change them, and no one can
eyade or cancel them. Were these accounts
and amounts due the bondholders" the press

bonds would not rest day nor night until

GRACEFUL ACT oFA DYING SON.

ain all his life, Ben Hill never did more
graceful thing" said General Evans iii his
funeral oration over the late Senator from Geor-
gia, than when he made his last visit to
the portrait of his mother which hung in one
of his rooms. When President Garfield placed
his manly arm around his venerable mother
in the presence of the vast multitude that
witnessed his inauguration, and kissed her
with lips fresh from pronouncing the obiiga-
tiOn of the Presidential Office, he drew unto
himself the warm heart of American mother
hood forever. So when the great Senator
went as child to gaze upon his mothers PIC
tured face, and murmurcd, i shall soon see her,
he left the sons of this State and the Unloh
lesson of flial love they should never forget.
The portrait shows dear old, good face, weL
traced with marks of INTEL igence. The
wrinkles are there, the stOOp Of age, ana
other signs of failing life. Long since she
went away. But the wasted statesman be-
came boy again in feeling gazed with true,
adoring love upon the portrait, and then above
the faded picture looked with eyes that saw

A.DOuBLE BEREAVEMENT,

The two children of Thomas w. Fitch, grand
children of General Sherman, were buried at
st. Louis Tuesday. Mrs. Fitch, accompanied
by General Sherman, Miss Sherman, and three
surviving children of Mrs Fitch arrived by the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Tuesday morn
ing in special car bringing the body of the
last of the two children, who died in Wash
ington. The party were met at the depot by
a hearse and two carriages, and proceeded to
the residence of Mr.. Fitch at Cote Brillante
and thence to Calvary Cemetery, where the
remains of the other child had been placed in
u vault. The interment took place in the
morning, none but members of the family
being present. The children, accompanied by
their mother, were on the Way to Washington
previous to attending proposed reunion of
the Sherman family at Oakland, Nd, at Mrs.
Fftch's, she being daughter of General Sher-
man. The first of the two children, an infant,
died while on the train ON the way to Wash
ingtOn city. The body was almost Immediately
sent back to st. Louis. At an early hour on
Sunday morning Mr.. Fitch received tele-
gram informing him of the death of a second
child, Katie, three years of age.

AMERICAN RlFLEMEN.

The American team has made an excellent
start in its Creedmoor practice. The new rifles
give great satisfaction and scores will un-
doubtedly show marked improvement this
week. The outsiders, who failed to secure
places on the team last week, are now shooting
even better than many on the team. The two
vacancies which may be created in the team
should be filled with rare discretion. A crack
shot might do more harm than good if he had
a talent for quarreling with his associates.
Good fellowship and unity of organization
must be maintained at all hazards.-N Y.

that they feel in their inmost soul that theirs
was thankless task? The Governments
needs were great, her demand was "your
money or yOur life" While rich men gave up
their boarded wealth to purchase substitutes,
poor men were obliged to stand to the racket
themselves. They put their life in danger day
by day, and what have they for all this? What
is their reward? An eye gone, MANNED limb,
a rupture, poverty, and promise from Uncle
Sam-that dear old man, who pays everything
else SO promptly-that some time he will make
it all up. VIII our Nation always forget, or
will it wake up and hear the cry of suffering
that comes to them on every hand from our
soldiers and their families, asking, begging for
their rights, and that the debt which the Gov
ernment owes them be paid to them before they
die? Keep on sounding the tOcsin of war.

PENSIONS FOR PRISONERS OF WAR.


To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l find in reading different journals that many
soldiers who were prisoners of war for months,
and some over a year, are unable to furnish the
necessary proof of their disability to secure q
pension, in order TO better enable them to sup
port their families. l know from actual expe-
rience that many soldiers and sailors, who were
captives, are very deserving of the aid of the
Government, and know of no way by which
their cases can be reached unless Congress
passes bill pensioning all soldiers and sailors
who served three months or more in southern
prison pens, or, more properly speaking, rebel
hells. / am satisfied that every one who was
confined three months or more in those places
is justly entitled to a pension. / enlisted early
in the war and served until the close in 1865.
In the spring of 1864, l, with many of my com
rades re-enlisted, and returned to the field of
action in April, 1864; and in August, 1864, 1
was captured near Little Rock, Ark, and was
held prisoner of war until the surrender in
1860.
Our Government could not do a more hu-
name act than to pension every man who was
held captive in those southern prison hells. 1t
is true it looks like shouldering an immense
load yet TO be put upon the already heavily
loaded United States commissary wagon, but |
think the returns in revenue to the Govern
ment, and the perfect consciousness of having
done so great and good a deed, would be AMPLE
compensation for this sacrifice of money, if it
can be so called.

our Government ignores the fact, and keeps

servers in some cases helpless, in many partially
SO, to wait the ceaseless longing for the adjust

of life; while they watch each week to see what
Congress will do for them, while they sect hat

THE DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
1 read your paper with much satisfaction, as
does every old soldier. l have watched with
much interest your advocacy of the soldiers
rights during the late session of Congress. l
am glad the soldier has an advocate who dares
to put forward the interests of those who have
borne the burden and heat of the day. What
does the word pension mean? 1t means g con-
sideration for past services" Then, l say, is it
not the duty of our Government to see-if
the soldier has good war record; if he has
carried the old flag up and over the enemys
works; if he has been on long marches in hot
climates, suffered hunger and thirst for the
freedom which millions now enjoY-that he
has pension? This being the case, can the
Government pay him too much in the way of
a pension?
