been our desire TO make THE TRIBUNE not
simply interesting, but helpful to its sub

been necessarily devoted TO the considera-

rectly TO the soldiers welfare, but it has
never forgotten the claim which the wives

The National tribune., 1883-01-18

We are glad 70 sec that some of our ex-
soldiers have still too much spirit to submit
tamely to the insults which INSCRIPTIONS
newspapers have ventUred to heap upon
them and have asserted their independence
by Withdrawing their support from the
journals in question. That is at once the
quickest and most effective way of bringing
them to terms. The editors OF such papers
rs the New York San, the Utica Herald
Philadelphia Times, Chicago Tribune, Gin
cjnnati Commercial and the S.. Louis Globe
Democrat seem to imagine that the soldier
is played out, and they laugh at the idea
that any importance should be attached
either to his petitions to Congress or his
vote al the polls. II is for our veterans
themselves to convince them that they are
mistaken. According to Commissioner Dud-
ley's estimates the soldier population Of the
country is still fully 100000. 1t is true
that they are without organization, except
SO far as they are enrolled in the Grand
Army, but they can still muster enough
votes to turn the scale in almost any ma
tional or State election. and the withdrawal
of their support iromsuch newspapers as have
shown themselves unworthy of it, must
very materially affect their circulation. We
are 10th to advocate any resort to re-
taliatory measures, but it seems to us
that from considerations sof self-Tespect
alone our veterans should cease to cOun-
tenanCe newspapers which openly and
persistently malign them. Not to withdraw
their patronage, indeed, amounts to giving
aid and comfort to the enemy, and that is
the last thing in the world that would be
expected of the soldier. Several cases have
been mentioned recently in these columns
where ex-soldiers have had the spirit and
determination to stop their subscriptions to
papers avowedly hostile to their interests,
and if their comrades generally would fol-
low tueAT tAampo we are sure inc euecl
would be decidedly wholesome. The fact is
that one of the chief sources of their weak
ness at the present moment is their diffusion
of strength. Until recently they have had
no representative newspaper. 1t was quite
natural, therefore, that they should divide
their support among the thousands OF local
newspapers which are published in this
country. There is now, however, no excuse
for such waste Of influence In THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE they have an advocate
pledged TO the advancement of their inter
ests and lacking only their united support
to accomplish ali that they desire. If they
would silence the newspaper clamor against
pensions, they should make up their minds
at once to withdraw their support from all
journals which take part in this hue and
cry and transfer it 10 TIE TRIBUNE, in
whose fidelity, courage, truthfulness and
they can implicitly rely. Let
heir watchw0rd be: "Those who are not for
us must be against us.n

Public Installations.

Too great stress cannot be laid upon the
Importance of throwing open the doors of the
Grand Army to the general public whenever
an occasion offers. AS TIE TRIBUNE has fire.
quently pointed out, it is to the direct interest
Of every Post to acquire the respect and esteem
OF the community in which it exists, and moth
ing is so well calculated to bring this about as
actual acquaintance with the personnel and
objects of the Order, to which attendance at
the public meetings Of the Order naturally
leads. We are led to make this observation
by the fact that while there is nothing TO
prevent the ceremony of installing Post
officers being conducted with open doors
some of our comrades seem disposed to cling
TO the old forms of secrecy, and thereby, as
we believe, let slip a most excellent oppOr-
tunity of impressing the public with q sense
Of the worth and dignity Of the Order. If
we are not mistaken, COmmander-in-C Chief
VanDervoort is himself of this opinion, and
the sentiment Of the more thoughtful of our
comrades generally seems to be favorable to
public installations. The truth is, that while
the Grand Army is a law unto itself, it has
suffered severely in times past from the mis-
construction which the public have put upon
its character and objects, and it owes it to
itself to let the public see with its own eyes
that it is in every respect worthy of their
admiration and regard. The complaint is
often made that the Nation has forgotten the
sacrifices which our ex-soldiers made in its
defense, and that cold indifference to their
condition has taken the place of the warm
regard in which they were formerly held If
that be so, is it not desirable to quicken the
public conscience and reanimate the public
heart, and is anything more likely to effect
this than participation in the public meet
ings of the Order and personal observation
of its workings? 1t is question to which
every Post should give the most pro found
and earnest consideration.
The National tribune., 1883-01-18

THE national banks must have relief.
Unless the tax on deposits is taken of, they
may not be able to accommodate Wall
Street spectators with call loans at the rate
say Of % per cent per annum. Our mil
iOnaiTes must have relief Unless the tax
on bank checks is taken of, the time may
come when even Vanderbilt viii no longer
be able to draw his check for $10OO0O00G.
The patent medicine manufacturers must
have relief. Unless the stamp tax is taken
of, they may be forced to charge at least
two cents more per bottle for medicine that
now yields them profit of only few hun
bred per cent. The tobacco manufacturers
must have relief. 1t is true that the con-
sumner now pays the tax, but then, if the
tax were taken OFF, the consumer could be
made to pay just as much az ever, and the
manufacturers could pocket the difference.
The soldier must have rcIieEbut no! Con
gress draws the line at the soldier. 1t is
evident that if the internal revenue taxes
are taken off, there Will not be enough
money in the Treasury to pay the claims of
the soldier and besides, the Government has
no longer any use for him. He should be
thankful that he came out of the war alive,
and if he must have relief he should apply
at the nearest almshouse. Reduce the in
ternal revenue taxes? Oh, certainly! Any
thing to oblige the monopolists and stop this
awful waste of money on pensions.

IN our Grand Army columns, this week,
viii be found an interesting description OF
the Tea-Tray Cadets" society of young
ladies, auxiliary to Edwin Libby Post, No.
&c, of Rockland, Me. So far as we know
this is an original way of enlisting the inter-
est of our young folks in the work of the
Grand Army, and it seems to US to be also "a
very effective one. AS our readers know, THE
TRIBUNE regards it as in the highest degree
essential to the permanent prosperity and
practical usefulness of the Order that, so far
as possible, it should have the cooperation OF
the outside public, and particularly that of
the loyal women of the country, whose help

a REVISION of our special premium club
lists discloses several inaccuracies in the
award Of prizes made last week. Owing to
the confoundingof names, Mr. VIM. o. Connor,
Of Attleboro, Mass, failed to receive credit for
twelve subscribers, and he is therefore en-
titled to q total of seyeuty-eight instead of
sixty-six subscribers, as announced. 4 club
Of twenty-six was received from him on the
Goth of September, one day prior to the
opening of the competition, and could this
have been included with the rest, he would
have been entitled to the second instead of
the third prize. Mr.. Charles II. Allison, of
Springfield, Mass, who received the fourth
prize, was also credited with smaller club
than he actually sent-sixty-fve instead of
seventy-sjx-but the correction does not
affect his position on the list, as revised.
NIr. c. D. Austin, of Carthage, n. Y, whose
name was enormously given in the published
list as C. D. Oyster, of Carthage, w." sent
US ffty-two instead of forty three subscrib-
ers. He is therefore entitled to the eighth

cOrdingly receive the additional sum due

AT the recent installation of officers OF
Freeman McGilvery Post, Bucl1sport Maine.
Post Commander G. L. Merrill presented his
portrait to the Post, with the understanding
that each retiring commander should DO the
same. This is a capital idea, and worthy of
being adopted by every Post in the country.
The decoration of Post rooms is a matter
which is only beginning to receive the con-
sideration which it deserves, and certainly
nothing could be more appropriate for that
purpose than portraits Whether photo
graphs crayons, or oil paintings-of a Posts
own officers. No higher compliment, be-
sides, could be paid to retiring commander
by his comrades than this, and it is to be
hoped that the precedent set by Post Com
mander Merrill will become eventually an
established custom in every Grand Army

fulness in al works OF benevolence md
charity is proverbial, and the organization
of such societies as the "Tea-Tray Cadets"
cannot fail to have similarly wholesome
effect on the interests Of the Grand Army.
