Tho DUTY on iron ore.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov, lin a statement
OF Messrs, Naylor & Co., relative to the
recent decision Of Assistant Secretary
FalrChIId as to the duty on iron ore, the
firm says: "The total importatlons OF iron
ore ore into the United States in 1885 were
October 23, 7S5, ,778 tons. Under the Tar.
ID act Of March 3, 1870, this ore paid q
duty Of about forty Csnts per ton, which
was increased to seventy.fivs cents per
ton by the act OF March 8, 1888. The
Treasury Department has decided, as we
claimed, that the duty Is on the ore and
not on the water present In the ore, asCer-
tanned by drying samples at Sl2 degrees
Fahrenheit and deducted, This differ.
enOe amounts to about 8 76.l0O cents psr
ton. Taking the importations at 100000
tons, the difference Is 1900 per annum
instead OF millions"

WHO LED THE sHARPsuoOrERsr >

An interesting discussion has sprung up
between Gen. Hiram Berdan and Col. Lake
man relative to the command of the Sharp
shooters in the famous reconnaissance on the
second day at Gettysburg We publish this
week Gen. Berdan's reioinder, in which it
would appear that he has made ont his case
beyond any shadow of doubt. The doeu-
ments he presents and the fact that he re-
ceiVed the exceptional honor of special men
tion-which is the only one the records of
the War Department show-fOr his services
at Gettysburg, and was in addition breyetted
a Major make it seem amazing that
Col. Lakeman should call the matter In
question and prefer a claim on his own part
From all that we can learn Col Lakeman
did his share of the duty gallantly and we'll,
and he should be content with that honor.

WHAT TO DO.

EDITOR NATToNAL TRIBUNE: Acting on the ad-
vice of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE To ask our candi-
dates for Congress certain questions in regard TO
how they would vote on certain questions of inter-
est 10 the soldiers we interviewed the Hon. Addi-
son q. Harris, candidate for Congress from this
the Seventh District He answered US that he
stood on the Republican platform OF 1854 and that
Is all the satisfaction he gave But we told him
that he would have TO answer yes or no before lac
got through his campaign, did not rely on
promises any more, and that we proposed 10 vote
for the man who would vote for ns. aud no other.
Also. that when hs opponent came around we
would ask him the questions Now, what

since it was in its infancy, and expect to be as
long as live.-FraternalIy, yours, GEo BAUNER,
Perkinsvillc, Ind.
Comrade Banner has done perfectly right,
and just what we want every soldier and
sailor in the United States TO do The thing
for him and the other comrades in the
Seventh District TO do now is to steadfastly
adhere TO the course they have begun. If
Mr. Harris refuses TO answer the questions
put TO him aflirmatively, he should be re-
fused the votes Of every soldier and friend
Of the soldier. Precisely the same treatment
should be accorded TO his Democratic COM
petitor, and TO his Geenbacl and Prohibition
opponents, If he has any. Soldiers must
assert themselves now, if they ever intend
doing so. Politicians are ready enough TO
pledge themselves TO the German element y;
the Irish element; the knights of
Labor y; the "beer interest I" the "rail-
road interest y; the oleomargarine in
dustry," and in fact anything or anybody
that controls votes. The soldiers have been
too patriotic and unselfish TO do this, and
have suffered in consequence. They must
do so no longer. The needs of their depend
ent comrades and Of the widows and Or
phans of those who fell in defense of the
] country demand that they avail themselves

TWO DUTIES.

There are two simple duties before every
soldier who wishes his comrades well, and
which he should not lose day in perform
ing. These are:
/. To secure at least one new subscriber
for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, so that it can
speak for the comrades this Winter in the
name Of 25OOOO ex-soldiers and sailors.
.. To see that his Congressman and all
the candidates for Congress in his District
are properly approached on the great ques-
tion of the recommendations of the Ma
tional Committee on Pensions.
If every comrade attends properly and
promptly to these two duties he can con-
gratulate himself that he has done very i'm
portant work for the assistance of his COM
rades.

SAMPLE COPIES.

A number of sample copies will be sent
out this week to those who are not subscrib-
ers to the paper We ask every man who
shall receive one to give it n careful exami-
nation, and if convenient, to also ask such OF
his acquaintances as may be subscribers to
the paper their opinion of it, We are sure
that if he examines it critically and COM
pares it with other papers he will find it to
be the best family paper published. 1t gives
more for the money, has higher class OF
contributors, and is generally more accept
able, entertaining and valuable paper than
any other published This is shown by its
rapid strides in public favor. Though not
yet 10 years old, it has much the largest cir
culation of any weekly family paper in the
country, and is growing at rate that no
other one is. This is proof enough of its su-
perior excellence.

THE Recommendations.

The following is the substance of the Ma
tional Pension Committees recommends
tions:

gress in 1882. He was reelected to the 10Th by
more than 5000 majority. During his three
sessions at Washington he has discharged his
duties with zeal and fidelity. He is a vigorous
and ready speaker, and delivered some telling
blows upon those who opposed worthy pension

has proved himself their fast friend.

of the tactics that other people have en-
ployed to advance their interests
Party platforms amount to nothing in
these matters. They are hardly remem-
bered after the conventions adjourn. We
all know this by dear experience.
Nearly every onvention-Demoeratic and
Republican-in the North and West during
the past few years has resolved in favor of
an equalization Of bOunties and repeal of
the limitation 10 the arrears of pensions law.
What have these amounted to? What Con-
gresham has ever so much as alluded on
the floor of the House to the fact that he
was nominated on q platform which prom
ised an equalization of bounties and a re-
peal of the arrears-limitation Those who
are genuine friends of the soldiers have
worked for the interests of their comrades
from such friendship, without much refer
ence to what planks were in the platforms
upon which they were elected. Those who
were Indifferent or hostile to soldiers treated
the soldier planks as so much idle-un-
combe, to which no subsequent attention was
necessary.
What we want now is distinct statement
from each Congressman and every Congress
sional candidate as TO his views and inten-
iiops ,p;4 ra,ord 20 a. -. -
the National Pension Committee. The SOL
diers, through their duly authorized repre-
sentatives, have outlined what they think
the country should do for those who did
everything for it. This statement has been
indorsed by an overwhelming majority in
the recent National Encampment. Conse-
quently no earthly basis exists for any poll
tician assuming doubt or ignorance as to
what the soldiers really want. He has the
matter placed rs fairly and squarely before
him as plain, easily-comprehended words can
do it, and now the soldiers are entitled to a
square up-and-down answer from him as to
his position. II he cannot promise to sup
port these recommendations let him say so
frankly. Then the soldiers will know how
to vote. To them this issue transcends in
importance every other that the voters are
required TO pass upon this Fall There is
nothing connected with temperance, the
tariff, Civil Service reform, silver coinage,
the labor question, ETC., which cannot much
better be made to wait over to another Con-
gress than can the urgent duty of taking the
disabled veterans from the poOrhouses of the
country and placing them again in their own
houses and other equally-needed measures
of relief
Make the candidates promise, comrades,
or do not vote for them.

GEN. MANNING f. FORCE.

We have to congratulate our readers upon
another welcome addition to the distin-
guished soldiers who have agreed to con-
tribute to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE during
the coming year. Gen. NJ. F. Force, of Gin
cinnati, has acceded to our request to favor
our readers with a contribution. Gen. Force
needs no introduction to the soldiers of the
Army of the Tennessee, with whom he served
continuously from Fort Donelson to john
stons surrender, except while disabled from
terrible wound received before Atlanta.
Every one of them knows and esteems him.
To those of other armies we will say that
he entered the service as Major of the Goth
Ohio, was in command Of it at Shiloh and
Vicksburg, was promoted to Brigadier-G Gen.
eral for gallantry at Yicksburg, and breyet-
ted Maior-General for special gallantry
before Atlanta He commanded division
on the march through the Carolinas, and has
for many years been Judge of the Superior
Court of Cincinnati His paper will be one
of very high value.

THE GAR. WATCH.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has had splen-
did success in sending out its watches. 1t
has distributed thousands throughout the
country, and in no case have they failed to
give the highest satisfaction. Indeed they
cannot do otherwise, for we guarantee them,
and will refund the money if we do not
furnish o frst-class timepiece in every
respect. Amy one who receives a watch
from US which does not do its work as well
as any watch should, should at once notify
us, and if after few days trial it does rot
come up to the mark it should be sent back
to US at once, and another will be sent in
its place. In spite of all care in testing and
inspecting, imperfect watches will occasion
ally slip in, where thousands are sent out
but these should occasion only temporary
annoyance, for perfect ones viii be at once
sent to replace them
