Transforming Observation-Disclosures,

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In your
issue of this date you say, editorially
There is one resolution adopted by tho Mis-.
sisSippi Democrats in their recent state on.
yention to which we are glad to give our
hearty approval. We refer to the declaration
IN favor OF state pensions for disabled aad indl.
gent confederate soldiers.
Further on
For reasons too obvious TO require their pro
sentatiOn here the general government ought
not to pension soldiers who fought against the
old flag.
To my mind It seems that any reason
against the granting OF pensions TO those
men by the federal government will also
apply with equal force to the granting of
pensions by state government. The Mis-
sissippi of to-day, one of the United States.
received no seryicc.at their hands, and can
not, therefore, pension them. The state
they served is dead-had, according TO the
Union theory, no legal existence at any
time. The impropriety of taxing Union
men in the state of Mississippi to pension
cOnfCderates would be as conspicuous s
would lie the improperly of taxing the
people of the United States for the same
purpose.
The only soldiers Mississippi may pension
are those who fought for the old flag.
The better plan, think, is for the gen
eral government to provide for the needy
disabled eX-confederate. IhiS can be done
by means OF homes, established and main
tanned at the public expense; not by pen.
sions, for that would presume service
Those whose disabilities occurred directly
at our hands have moral claim on us, which
was recognized on the battle field, for their
care. Having destroyed their government
and thus dcproved them Of its assistance,
cannot see how, in the interests of human
ity. we can relieve ourselves Of the duty Of
assuming their support.
II the state pension these people, It will
be construed as a reward for services rem
dered the confederacy, and the effect will
necessarily be perncious; If, however, the
federal government, as free act of grace,
provide for them, its motives cannot be
questioned, and one OF the important result
will be to popularize 1t among an estranged
people. Very respectfully,
SID. NJ, DAVIS.

Candidates for state or county Offices can
find no more effective way OF prom ,tn :
Republican success than by aiding In th1
circulation OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,.
State, county, and township committees
can push forward their work in no m)tc
eFcc,ual manner than BY sending the WEEKLY
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN among the voters,
The publishers confidently oxpscs that tho
liberal offer now made will be gladly accepted
by many thousands of earnest Republicans
as well az intelligent Democrats, who arc
willing to invest ten cents In order to learn
language the views of the opposition.
National Republican., 1885-08-27

The REPUBLICAN does not agree with a
correspondent, whose communication ap.
pears in another column, that the disabled
and INDECENT ex-confederates should not be
cared for by the states in which they reside,
or rather the states in whose quotas they
served in the war Of the rebellion. We do
not care, however, to engage in any ex-
tended discussion of this question, but
cheerfully give place to our urcorrespondent's
dissent from views expressed in these col
umns on the 25th instant.

Total value of dairy interests. $24, All 200
For the purpose OF comparison let us look at
the wheat interest. The commissioner of agri-
culture estimated the wheat crop Of Mime SO
Ia for 1875 to be 80, 900, 900 bushels. AT %
cents per bushel this would amount to $19,-
300, 900.
II the dairy interest increases in value here
after as rapidly as 1t has IN the past, In ten
years 1t will represent more than double the
wheat interest.
The dairy interest in Minnesota is so closely
connected with the raising OF cattle and hogs
that any serious check It's prosperity might re-
ceive would result disaetrously to our stock
interest. Destroy the dairy interest OF this
state and we could not probably raise beef
and pork.
