CHEAP MATCHES.

The New York Times last Sunday had aft
about the duty which every American who
buys a watch must payn the grasping watch
companies. This is ludicrous The Times
could not have chosen an illustration more I'M
fortunate for its side of the argument Be
fore we began manufacturing watches under
the encouragement of q protective tariff,
such thing as good, cheap watch was
unknown in the United States. Reliable
pocket time-pieces could only be afforded by
the weIl-to-do Under the free trade which
existed prior to the outbreak of the war,
great numbers of Iow-priced English and
Swiss watches were brought into the country
and retailed at from $40 to $50. The first
break in the prices was made by the Wal
than American Watch Company" and this
was followed rapidly by other companies,
which made tinekeepers superior to any
foreign watch but the very high-priced
English and French chrOnometers, and sold
them at less than the inferior English and
Swiss watches could be bought for. Com
petition among our own manufacturers ran
the prices down rapidly, until to-day an
American watch is infinitely the best and
cheapest in the world. The common Water
bury, which the retailers are now selling foI
$3.50, is better timekeeper than could be
bought in this country for $25 before the
war. Nearly all the improvements in mech
anism and cheapening in price have been
in this country. English and Swiss watches
are very little better or cheaper than they
used to be, and consequently American
watches'are rapidly taking their places il
] Europe.

out on a hilltop md be shot at By musketry
and artillery Yet, very sensible men did
both, little as it may be understood by this
generation.
The men who, in 1865 and the years fol-
lowing, would not ask for pensions find the
conditions much changed now. The eoun-
try, which was scarcely able to pay the bond
holders their interest then, is now the rich
est in the world. There is no reason now
WY it should not pay its debts of honor.
Also, the veterans who could get along des-
pite their hurts then cannot now. The fire
and vigor of youth has yielded to advancing
years. A rheumatism that could be con-
quered by will-power in 1866 is despot in
1888. a bullet wound that didn't bother
me much at 25 is o cruel and relentless
torture at Al. Ears Jared by an exploding
shell were only a little hard of hearing" a
few years ago. Now neither the words of
love, the laughter of children, or the keen
language of trade and commerce, make the
slightest impression on them.
Is it strange that the man who was SO In
dependent and selfhelpful in his vigorous
youth, turns in his age and debility to the
country to which he gave so much of his
life?
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1888-08-23
THEN AND now.

1t is difficult for maryland it is impos-
sible for some-nen to understand the ele-
waited patriotism which led veterans who
are seeking pensions now to refrain from
asking for them IN the years Immediately
following the war.
This is because it is difficult to conceive
of this great, rich country, with money so
plentiful as to be called public incum-
brauce, being in such financial straits that
bankruptcy seemed imminent, and all patri-
otto citizens were adjared to struggle and
sacrifice to secure the Nations financial
salvation, in the same way they had struggled
andsacrifced for her political salvation. Thus,
men who had endured and dared everything
for the preservation of the country and come
home with serious disabilities resulting from
their service, declined to ask for pensions
because the country was staggering under
the most frightful load Of debt Of any Ma
ton in modern times. They would not
burden the country, but rather help ease her
of her burden. They toiled early and late
and from their earnings paid the most oner-
Gus taxes ever imposed on cur people in
order to satisfy the bondholders.
Some people nowadays find it difficult to
understand how any man of sense would dc
this. They also find it difficult to under
| stand how any man of sense would march

who has no right to have champion or
