1t is greatly feared by the friends Of the
Disability Pension Bill that a scheme is be-
ing plotted to force through the mangling
amendments under the lash of a harsh
enforcement of parliamentary rules.
1t is alleged that at some suspension
day" in the near future Col. Matson, as
Chairman of the Committee on Invalid Pen
sions, viii move for a suspension of the
rules for the purpose of passing Senate Bill
181 as amended"
The effect of this motion will be that every
friend of the veterans in the House will be
compelled to vote in favor of the suspension
of the rules for the purpose of passing the
bill in precisely the form that Col Matson
has reported managing amendments and
aIl-or else 60 on record az opposed to any
pension legislation. No debate will be al
lowed, no amendments, no propositions to
substitute some other bill. The only ques-
ton VIII be whether they will vote to sus-
pend the rules for the purpose of passing
that identical bill, without single altera-
tion, with the additional pressure that this
is the first, and probably will be the last,
time this session that they will be allowed
an opportunity to vote on general pension
bill.
We can hardly believe that this is true.
Whatever political or personal
Col. Matson may have for mangling the
Disability Bill, we feel confident that he
will not be so unfair to those who differ
from him and so unjust to the disabled
veterans and the widows of veterans as to
gag all discussion and shut off every attempt
to amend the bill in accordance with the
wishes of the GAR.

WHO IS CORRECT2

During the debate on the Disability Bill
in the Senate quite number of Southern
Senators asserted with much ostentatiOus-
ness that there was not a single disabled
Confederate soldier in any poorhouse in their
States, and they did not know of one who
was actually in want These assertions
were received with becoming silence in all
except one case, in which Senator Vest was
confronted with the statement that there
were quite a number of disabled COnfeder-
ates in the poorhouses of his State.
Since then Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, who
was Lees Provost Marshal General, and pos
sibly quite as high an authority in regard to
the ex-rebels as any of the Senators, has
written an appeal to the Maryland Legisla-
ture for the establishment of a home for
disabled ex-rebels. In that he states that
there are 10000 disabled and destitute ex-
rebels in the State of Maryland alone. A
Maryland paper takes exceptions to this by
saying that there never were but two regi-
ments of 500 men each which left the State
for the South, and it would be an extrava-
CANT estimate to say that altogether 5000
Marylanders entered the rebel service
If both Gen. Bradley Johnson's statements
and that of the paper are correct, this would
show an alarming state of things in the
South. If there are 10000 crippled and des-
titute ex-rebels remaining in Maryland alone
of the 5000 who entered the rebel service,
what large numbers there must be in the
rest Of the SOuth
We mention this merely to show the un-
truth of the frequent assertions that there
are no destitute ex-Confederates in the
Southern States.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1888-05-24

sent 10000 infantry to the front. The ener-
getic Governor of Indiana-O. P. Morton
led all the rest, and in an incredibly short
time tens of thousands of citizens of that
State had left their peaceful vOcations, and
were marching and fighting like veterans in
Central Kentucky. The strain of this hasty
transformation of citizens into soldiers in Q
severe campaign was enormous. Itdepleted
the regiments, for all but the strongest broke
down under it. Yet it was worth all that it
cost, for the rebels were turned back and
the great cities saved. Yet TO the Indian
ians who rendered this incalculable service,
and were broken down by it, Col Matson's
amendments would give but few cents a
month Certainly these men and their wild
ows are entitled to as much as was given the
volunteers of the Mexican war for a short
stay in camp
In effect, he would punish them by a re-
duction of their pensions for the haste they
made to confront and beat back the enemy.
Had they been more deliberate, and taken
months instead of days to reach the front,
they would fare better under Col Matson's
scheme.
There are a multitude of other instances
in which injustice is equally glaring. Take
the Pennsylyanians who responded to the
call of Aug 4, 1862 and before they were
fully organized, were hurried into the battle
Of Antietam, and lost heavily.
There is only one just rule, and that is
that every disabled veteran is entitled to a
pension from the Government and the low
est pension must in decency be enough to
give him the common necessaries of life,
The Government cannot, with any regard
for its dignity and selErespect, offer the man
who gave everything to it less than will
suffice to maintain life in tolerable comfort

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE PENSION BILL.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE Service PEN
sion Bill is meeting with the heartiest COM
mendation from comrades in all parts of the
country. 1t pleases everyone with its fair
ness, its justice and the wide scope of its
action. They all pronounce it vastly the
best and most equitable general service pen
sion bill ever introduced in Congress. 1t
does what no other bill ever proposed to do.
To every honorably- discharged soldier who
served not less than three months it gives
pension, which is in no case to be less than
So while those who served long terms get
more in proportion, making the pension of
those who served from the outbreak of the
war till its close from $14 to $16 month
This combines the best ideas that have so
far been urged in service pension legislation.
1t is platform upon which all comrades
can stand, and upon which all should hasten
to place themselves. There can be no reason
for any one Withholding his support from it,
since it goes farther and gives more to more
deserving comrades than any other bill.
All that is now required to make it
speedily successful is for all veterans and
their friends to rally around it as their ban
ner, to insist that it is the best expression
of their wishes to indorse it in Post meet
ings, Department Encampments, and the
National Encampment to have it formally
approved in every political convention held
in their country, and to write to their Rep
resentatives and Senators urging them to
support it. IF this is done with one accord
there will be such a weight behind it that it
cannot help being speedily passed.

4 CRUsIIER.

A point made by Reed, Of Maine, during
his tariff speech last Saturday was crusher.
He said:
Here is another unsolicited gun" called the
market Of the world.n The markets Of the world.
How broad and cool these words are! They stretch
from the frozen regions Of the northern pole across
the blazing tropics Of the cebound shores Of the
antarctic continent. All this we can have il we
viii but give UP the little handsbreath called the
United States Of America What are these mar
kels Of the world? To hear these rheloricians de-
claim, you would imagine the markets Of the world
a vast vacuum waiting till now for American goods
to break through, rush in, and Gil the yearning
void
Does your mouth water over the prospect? What
market do you give up for all this? Where Is the
best market in the world? Where have the people
the most money TO spend? Right here in the
United States Of America after p years Of protec-
Zionist rule And you asked TO give up such a
market for the markets Of the world. Why, the
history Of such G transaction told 9. 400 years
ago II Is classic You will end it in the works of
AesOp the fabulist
Once there dog. He was nice little dog
Nothing the matter with him except few foolish
freetrade ideas IN his head He was trottiug along
happy as the day, for he had in his mouth a nice
shoulder Of succuient mutton By and by he came
10 a stream DfidScd by plank, lie trOttcd along
and looking over the side Of the plank, he saw-the
markets Of the world He diyed for them. A min
ute after he was crawling up the bank the wettesE
the siclzest the nastiest the most muttonless dog
! that ever swan ashore.
| Nothing could better illustrate the SUI
premacy Of folly of destroying our home
markets, of which we are sure, in order to
get shy at some elusive foreign markets, 4"
Of which we can never be sure.
So long as we import from foreign coun-
tries about $500 100000 of goods every year,
the greater portion of which should be pro-
duced in our boundaries, it is idle to talk
about hunting up foreign markets"
Trade, like charity, begins at home
Our own people are the best customers we
can have. For example, it will be much
more profitable to us in every way to manu-
facture for our own people the $4,000. 600
worth of iron and steel goods which they
bought abroad last year, than to try to make
a market for that amount somewhere in
South America, Or Africa, or Europe. When
we get so that we can supply our own people
with the great staples, it will be vastly
easier to push the sale of the same in other
parts of the world

A DUTY AT CONVENTIONS.

Now is the season Of political conventions
City, County, District, State and National
Republican, Democratic, Prohibition,
Labor and Greenback.
At most, if not all of these held north of
the Potomac and the Ohio, there viii be
adopted the customary rhetorical resolutions
of gratitude to the gallant soldiers and sail
ors whose valor preserved the Nation, and
in favor of liberal pensions to their widows
and orphans.
These are all very fine so far as they go,
but, unfortunately, they do not go very
far They do not lead to results, and results
are what the veterans demand.
No politician elected to Office on the plat
form feels bound by any such vague general
ization. He does not regard it as being
directed at him at all, but mere rhetorical
flourish for the entertainment and pleasure
of the people.
There is a much better way than this, and
we urge it upon comrades with all the ear
nestness possible. 1t is that they 90 into all
the conventions of the parties with which
they vote, and insist that, instead Of these
empty and sounding phrases, there shall be
an unmistakable declaration in favor OF
something specific and definite, which viii
be binding on the party, and upon all the
candidates who accept nominations.
PROFESSIONALLY the best thing to do now
is to secure an emphatic Endorsement of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE Pension Bill, and in
structions to all candidates to do everything
in their power to secure its enactment into
law. A general specific declaration in
favor of this bill will be worth a half cen
fury of resulting in favor of nothing il
| particular"
Let comrades of all shades of political be.
lief make it their duty to secure from every
convention in which they participate the
action that we have advised Let them see
that one of their number is put On every
Committee on Resolutions, and it be made
his work to incorporate into the platform
an Endorsement of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
Pension Bill, and instructions to ali candi.
dates to support it. Let no convention pas:
without this, OF without capable and zeal
Gus cOmrades-who can make effective
speeches urging the Endorsement of thit
specific measure of justice.
Then viii success be speedy and certain
