Iect or Pensions.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE notice in your
issue of Aug. 26 an article by one who signs
himself New York" in which he "gOes for T"
our Pension Committee OF the GAR. ard our
Senators aud Representatives; advocates the
income tax 10 pay pensions, and approves the
Presidents vetoes of pensions of poor broken
down old soldiers, whom he classes as dead
beats and bounty jumpers, etc. Now / will
admit that during the war New York city was
a perfect hot-bed of dead beats and bounty
jumpers, but all of that class have a record in
the War Department, and there is not one of
them who would stand the ghost Of a show TO
get private bill through Congress, or any other
kind of a pension. | have followed pretty
closely the Presidents vetoes of private pen
sion bills and his reasons for nOn-approval Of
the same, and / have got the first one to see
yet where the soldier was accused of being a
dead-beat or a bounty jumper
Again. speaking OF our Pension Committee
of the GAR. they have done a noble work
faithfully and well, which has been approved
by nine-tenths of all the Union soldiers in the
land. As for our Sen Is and Representatives
disagree with him. except in the New York
city District, where politics are largely con-
trolled by the hummer element. / know of
several cases in this vicinity of poor wrecks of
soldiers who had not a particle of political in
huence appealing 10 their Representatives for
help in their claims, and they never appealed
in vain nor offered bride
As for the poor man being taxed to pay PEN
sOns, that's all buncOmbe We have heard so
much of that kind of hog wash I" that it
makes us tired. There has never been a day
in the history of this country when the people
could dress themselves for as little money as
they can now. As for provisions Of all kinds,
the Government gets no internal revenue from
-four, beef pork, or vegetables of any kind /;
therefore / claim that the poor man is not taxed
on what he eats and wears. In fact the only
thing that the poor man is taxed for is what
whisky, beer and tobacco he consumes, and
that is just and as il should be-WM. ii. SMITH,
