be changed. If our ex-soldiers would unite
in advocating the passage of a very few
measures of the highest importance, at each
session, they would be much more likely to
accomplish something. But it is essential
to unity of action that there should be a
general interchange of ideas and sentiments,
and this can only be brought about through
the good offices of a soldiers paper of uni
versal reputation. And here again our sub
scribe1s will see how much it concerns their
own interests to increase, as far as possible,
the circulation of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Every new subscriber brings fresh strength
to the cause, for the measure of newspapers
influence, other things being equal, is the
number of its readers. With hundred
thousand subscribers the ability Of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE to advance the interest Of
the soldier would be still greater than it
now is, and we hope the day is not far dis
tant when it will have that number. In
order to carry forward to success the agita-
ton for the passage of the Equalization of
Bounties bill, as well as the pending pension
measures, it is essential that we should have
the active aid of every ex-soldier in the
country, and we depend upon our subscribers,

defense of the Union; second, that his death
left his family, consisting of q wife and
his widow died six months afterward, pre-
sumably from the shock; fourth, that when
the daughter reached the age of sixteen, at
which time her right to pension expired,
according to the terms of the law, she was
physically incapacitated from earning her
own living; and, fifth, that since that date,
and down to the present time, she has
been dependent upon charity for the means
of existence, being now afflicted with spine
disease and in the last stages of con-
sumption. These facts being admitted, it
was contended by Senator Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, and Senator Blair, of New
Hampshire, that they constituted a good and
sufficient reason for granting the pension
asked for, and that it would be an act of
great injustice to withhold it. Senators
Platt and Hawley, of Connecticut, however,
as also Senator Logan, of Illinois, we are
sorry to say, bitterly opposed the re-pen-
sioning of this daughter of the regiment"
and upon grounds so flimsy and inadequate
as to call for special notice. Their chief OBJ
lection was that the granting of the desired
pension would make bad precedent. Upon
this point Senator Hawley said: "This is
the first deliberate beginning of what may
have another arrears-of- pensions account in
it," Senator Platt said: at seems to me
that it will result in Congress pension
ing every son and daughter of de-
ceased soldier, if he or she can show in
trinity" Senator Logan said: "If you
establish the precedent in one case, you
might as well open the book in every case
of the kind. If you give pension to one
person who has passed the age of sixteen,
you cannot refuse to give it to Others" All
three Senators practically admitted the
equity Of the claim but opposed its recOg-
milton because, as they said, it would set q
bad precedent. 1t might be said, by way of
reply, what is known to be the fact, that
there are few similar cases in existence
only two before the present COngress-but
we are disposed to waive that point and
take the bull by the horns. A bad prece-
dent" bad " in what respect? No one will
deny, we suppose, that had the father of this
helpless girl not been killed in the service
of his country, he would have been able in
all probability, to provide for her support,
nor will it be disputed that, had the mother
survived, she would be drawing the pen
sion of a colonel's widow, and thus des-
pite the death of the father, some provision
would still exist for the support of the
daughter. Both of the natural protectors
being removed by death, upon whom ought
the obligation of maintaining this daughter
to fall |? Obviously upon the Govern
ment, since it was in its service that
the father lost his life, and Congress
admitted the equity of this principle when
it decreed that the daughter should be enti,

pressed upon the attention of Congress, and
that, we need hardly say, is the claim of our
ex-soldiers to an equalization Of bounty.
The Justice Of this claim cannot be success
fully disputed. 1t has repeatedly been
affirmed by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, and the fact that its settlement
has been so long delayed is but an addi-
tional reason for prompt action now.
Moreover, the principle involved, like
that contained in the Arrears of Pensions
act, is one that must commend itself to
the approval of the general public without
distinction of party. 1t is easily understood
to endorse the equity Of the proposition.
Opposition is, of course, to be expected from
the class of politicians and newspapers that
obstructed the passage of the Arrears of
Pensions bill, and our veterans must be pre-
pared to meet it. 1t is not always sufficient
to have Right" on ones side. Organization
is also necessary. There must be move
ment along the whole line. The first thing
to do is to reawaken the interest Of our
comrades generally in the measure THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE will answer as me-
dunn for this purpose, and in order to secure
the widest possible cooperation in the work
-, IL, oc
soldier in the country. According to the
last census the survivors of the Union Army
number upwards ofa million and half, and
of these nearly, if not quite, one hundred
thousand are members Of the Grand Army.
We ought to have their united aid in this
undertaking, and with it success is certain.
Our subscribers should take the initiative.
They should interest their fellow soldiers in
the movement and prevail upon them to
subscribe to TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. not
simply to keep fully posted in regard to the
progress of the work, but to exchange opin-
ions concerning the plan of the campaign
and exert their influence to the best advan-
tage. Organization is everything. The
power of our soldier element has not been
felt in the past because it has not been
united in the effort to secure the desired
legislation Our comrades have not concen-
trated their strength as they should have
done. They have divided il among various
newspapers and various projects. That is
not the way to accomplish great results.
Out of the multitude of pension bills which
are introduced at each session of Congress,
for instance, but a comparatively small
number are ever acted upon. They are
taken up, and after being discussed in
desultory way, are allowed to lie over for
future consideration, which is usually the
last heard Of them. Often bill passes one
house too late to be acted upon in the other,
and the time spent in its discussion is thus
thrown away. 1t frequently happens, too,
that the time that should be devoted to the
consideration of pension bills of general
importance is consumed by debate on those
of personal interest only. All this should

Prospective Legislation.

We suppose our readers will admit that
there was time when the prospects for
the passage Of the Arrears of Pensions
bill looked very black indeed, and that
even after il became a law there was
reason to fear that il would not he allowed
TO stand. The Justice which it rendered
to so many thousands Of our brave de-
tenders was long delayed, and there were
those who despaired Of ever receiving 1t,
hat it came-it came at last! The great
heart of this Nation beat responsive to the
appeals of our unrequited heroes and cry
went up to Congress that 1t did not dare to
ignore. 1t is said that republics are un-
grateful Whether that be so or not, the
people of this Republic had not yet forgotten
what they owed to the men who preserved
it from destruction, and they sustained and
encouraged our ex-soldiers during the long
period of anxious waiting which preceded
the recognition of their claims by Congress.
What the sentiment of the country was then
it is to-day. Although more than twenty
years have passed away since the reverbera-
tion of the cannon came rolling over the
Virginia hills, the sound Of the cannonading
is still ringing in our ears and the cheers
still 90 up from the multitude when the
Grand Army uniform is seen upon the
street The Nation remembers though the
politician forgets. If, then, any of our COM
rades are inclined to be Respondent and
despair Of obtaining the full measure OF
what is still due them from the Government
let them look back over the history of the
past few years and consider how many
obstacles they have already overcome and
how bright in comparison with the past the
present prospect is When the first great
pension measures were introduced in Con-
gress the Government was burdened with
an enormous public debt and deprecated
paper currency. The road to the redemp-
tion of specie payments was devious and
difficult and the claims of the soldier were
of necessity thrust aside to make room for
those of the bondholder. When President
Grant vetoed the Equalization Of Bounties
bill he gave as his reason the poverty of the
public Treasury, and our ex-soldiers-to
their eternal honor, be it said-sorely ms
they felt the hardship of that veto, bore it
uncomplainingly, esteeming it an honor to
make fresh sacrifice for their country.
How changed is the financial condition of
the country to-day! Gold and silver have
replaced the Government promises to pay,
the public debt has been reduced to a point
where it can be brought but little lower
until its last issues of bonds mature, and
the annual surplus of receipts over expendi-
lures is so large that some of our Congress
men are for abolishing the internal revenue
taxes entirely! The poverty of the G"u"~-'

WE TRUST that the convention of dele
gates from the various Union prisoners
associations in the country, which has been
called to meet at the Twelfth Regiment
ArmOry, New York, on the 9th prox, will be
largely attended. 1t is of the highest i'm
pOrtance that substantial agreement
should be reached as to the precise character
of the legislation needed at the hands of
Congress, and that when once an agreement
has been reached, united action should be
taken to procure the passage of the bill.
Our ex-soldiers cannot afford to divide their
forces or waste their ammunition.
The National tribune., 1882-08-19

DURING the recess Of Congress our soldier
readers can aid us in securing the early
passage of the bill for the Equalization of
Bounties, the bill for the payment of pen
sions to war prisoners, and the $40 bill for
the loss of limb, or equivalent disability,
by preparing petitions and having them
signed numerously in time for presentation
to Congress upon its reassembling in Decem-
Der. They can also facilitate the passage of
these relief measures in another way, viz:
by forming clubs of subscribers for The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE. Strengthen our hands
in that way and We VIII continue to guard
your interests closely.
