now, the age of the youngest and the Oldest
member, the nationality of each member, the
regiment TO which each belonged and the rank
with which each member entered and came
out of the service, the year in which each COM
rade enlisted and was discharged, the number
who enlisted before becoming of age, the num-
Der who were discharged before the war ended
and those who remained in the service until
the close of hostilties, the longest and the
shortest service and the aggregate length of
service of the members of the Post Comrade
Turner, in his descriptive sketch, even goes

Soldiers HORuments-4a Excellent Suggestion.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l think the suggestion Of Comrade L. B.
Wolfe, Ct sEvansburg, Ohio, in regard to the
materials that should be used IN the construc-
tion of soldiers monuments, a very good one
If we can ind something better than stone, in
point OF durability and cost, is certainly ought
to be selected in preference.
In our community ,0I about LOCO inhab-
itants) we started 8 subscription paper, or last
Memorial Day for the purpose Of raising money
to procure monument to cur dead heroes.
The subscriptions on that day amounted Ia
$780, which We can probably increase 20 $1,000
As to how far that anl0unc would 80 towards
procuring a suitable monument IN white bronze,
/ do not know. But do know that stone
monument, costing $1,000, would be a very
poor affair with which 20 peTpe5uate the deeds
of our fallen comrades; and yet, $1,000 is
good deal of money to raise IN community
like this.
Now, think, in places where We cannot
raise sufficient funds TO build = respectable
monument that it IS practically throwing that
amount Of money away TO pat it into q moau-
ment at all, at the present time. I think the
money could be put into memorial buildings
that would answer every purpose Of a m0uu-
ment and at the same time be . home for the
g. A. r Posts, and be a continual source Of in
come when paid for, aud would thus benefit
the living as well as the dead.
Suppose that we could. with a fund Of $1,000
to start with raise the means to put up me-
mortal building costing. say $1,000. It would
rent for $500 or SlO0 year, besides giving Us
our own hall. free of rent. At the end Of thirty
years, or when the last soldier was dead the
property. if thought best. could be sold. aud
the increased amount applied TO building

would like very well to have the views Of

High Rents.

The French government has evidently
concluded that one of the principal
causes of the late labor demonstration IN
Paris was excessive rent, and to alleyi-
ate this crisis the ministers of the inte-
rior and Justice have signed a contract
with the Credit Foncier, by which the
latter engages to build dwellings to be
rented at low price.
By this act the French ministry brings
into prominence a great and fundament-
al truth. High rents are the cause of
more suffering and pauperism than all
other evils combined. Rent is the mon
ster that squeezes the working people
and employers alike. 1t is to-day the
main cause of all the trouble in France;
it is the cause of the agitation in Ireland;
it is the cause of the trouble now brew
ing in England and Scotland; it is the
cause of the dissatisfaction now apparent
among the workingmen Of this country,
and it will, one of these days, be the cause
of general social upheavaI all over the
civilized wOrId-New York Voice.

Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.

At one time the discussion of the secret

and medical works of but a few years ago

and intelligent parents and guardians will

The results attending this destructive vice
were formerly MISUNDERSTOOD, OrnOtpToperly

to subject which by its nature does not in
Vite close investigation, it was willingly ig-

The habit is generally contracted by the
young while attending school; OIdetCOmpan-
ions, through their example, may bereSp0nSj-
bic for It, or it may be acquired through acCi-
dent. The excitement once experienced the
practice will be repeated again and again,
until at last the habit becomes firm, and com
pletely enSIaVeS its yictim Mental and ner-
y0uS at1ictiOnS are usually heprimary results

may be mentioned IaS$itude, detection, or

For a $40 suit go to Strauss

In 1874, when the tax on cigars was
increased from s. to $6 per thousand, the
manufacturers, unwilling to bear even a
portion of the burden, forced their en-
ployes to accept a reduction in wages of
81 per thousand At the last session,
congress reduced the tax $3 Der thousand,
to 60 into effect the first of May. The
cigarmakers now want the 81 reduction
in their wages restored, and, reasonable
as the demand is, there seems to be a
disposition on the part of the manufac-
turers throughout the country not to
grant the increase of wages, and, as a
consequence, there are apprehen8ion8 of
a general strike.
We think, with our esteemed COLA
borer of Chicago, the Progressive Age,
that manufacturers who are at all in
cIined to be just could give the cigar
maker the benefit Of one dollar, the
dealer another, and have the benefit Of
a dollar themselves. This would be fair
and equitable; bat it is manifestly hog
giSh and unreasonable to claim the
benefit Of the whole tax reduction and
refuse anv advance to employees A
strike is to be deDrecated but when the
tax was increased a dollar the cigar
makers were compelled to have the
whole of it taken from their wages, and
in all justice and fairness it ought now
to be restored to them, and they ought
to have the unqualified support of the
public in demanding and obtaining it,
l.. 4. 1874 .cigar makers have already
taken action in the matter, and by May
l we shall know whether legislation is
for the manufacturer alone, or for the
good of both employer and Employed
