TO Save Life

hours delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases of Group, Pneumonia,

Speaking of Mr.. Depew, the indie
pendent Rochester Herald says that
''as the first officer of one of the
greatest railroad corporations on the
continent he has been distinguished
equally as the trusted custodian of
immense vested interests and the
friend of the workingman. He may
have opponents but no enemies, while
his friends are to be found among all
classes and all parties. During the
preliminary discussions over the pres
idency, though it has been growing
more apparent from day to day that
he might become the nominee of his
MENUS nave persisted IN treating him
with exceptional courtesy and fair
ness" In the Connecticut, as in the
New York republican convention,
the most enthusiastic applause was
given when the names of Depew and
Blaine were mentioned.

HELPING TIE FARmERs.

That our farmers are suffering grieyously
from the depressed prices of produce-par-
ticularly Of grain-cannot be denied by any
one. The existence of this unpleasant fact
must be admitted by all. The only ques-
ton, then, is as to how they can be helped
most surely and quickly.
It must be conceded at once that nothing
we can do viii help raise the price of grain
abroad, for that is clearly out Of our power.
Our farmers must sell their grain in Liver
pool for just what grain raised in Russia, In
dia and Australia can be bought for To the
European buyer bushel Of wheat is merely
bushel of wheat, and he is going to buy it
from whoever VIII offer il at the lowest
price. 1t makes no difference to him
whether the man who raises it tolls on the
banks of the Ganges, with no other clothing
than yard Of cheap muslin around his
loins, or on the banks of the Volga, clad in
a garment Of sheepskin, or on the prairies Of
Dakota, dressed in the garb of civilization.
Whether the raisers get three cents day or
10 cents, or 81 for their labor in the furrow
and the harvest, is of no earthly importance
/ TO him. If they expect him TO buy their
wheat they must bring it to his door and
offer it to him, and he will take the bushel
that is offered at the lowest price, since
there are many more bushels offered than be
wants, and he can pit one farmer against an.
other
There is one sovereign remedy for this
and only one-that is, to sell our grain a
home Ii is simply suicide to attempt t.
compete in Europe with the grain-raisers 0
India and Russia, and we must Compel,
with them if we sell grain in Europe, fo

Europe wants, and can carry it to market a

A SERIES OF INTERESTING LETTERS

I'm accordance with our desire to provide
the readers Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
with the highest grade Of entertaining and
instructive matter to be found anywhere,
we haze made an arrangement with Mr.
Frank @. Carpenter, the talented newspaper
man, for q series Of letters from Japan,
Corea, China, Malay, India, and elsewhere
In the Far East These letters will be-as
oil who are familiar with Mr. Carpenters
writings know-bright, breezy, aud full Of
fresh facts. Hewill keepawsy from the usual
haclneFed routes Of travel. STE things with
his own eyes. and tell in his own way what
he sees. The letters viii be furnished ex-
clusigely 10 THE SATIOSAL TRIBUNE, and
no other paper viii have them. They will
be profusely illustrated from photographs
taken by B.r. Carpenter with his own camera
They viii, besides being interesting to every
body, be very valuable 70 tie children il

TO BEGIN NEXT MONTH.

We haFe decided that We viii begin next

Knox, previously announced, which we are
sure every one Of our readers win find Of
SURPRISING interest. Col. Knox, who is the
most successful writer Of boy stories in the
world, says Of it: I would be unwilling to
say it is the best story ever wrote, but l
an sure I have never written better one"

manner. Every member Of the family win
be deeply interested in 1t.

The soldier-hating papers of New York
have been having much TO say lately about
" all self-respecting soldiers" approving the
Presidents vetoes, and being opposed to the
further extension of the pension system.
As usual they do not fortify their asser-
tons with the names of any of these inn
mensely "self-respectful veterans, with
their companies, regiments and service. 1t
would seem that if there are such great
numbers of them this would be an easy task.
But so far not paper has published the
name of single soldier, with his regiment
and service, who says that he thinks as they
pretend all self-respecting veterans think.
Real soldiers are not given to such tim
idity. They have no hesitation about ex-
pressing their opinions and backing up their
expressions with their names and regiments,
so that all men may know of their right to
speak. They do not slzulk behind fictitious
names now any more than they skulked Or
shirked Is years ago.
We will make little challenge to these
papers: For every name of genuine soldier
who supports the yetoes, and opposes further
pension legislation, which they can produce,
we will produce the names of 1000 soldiers,
with their companies, regiments and field
service, who viii sign themselves as bitterly
opposed to the yetoes, and strongly in favor
of even much more liberal pension legisla-
tod than the GAR National Pension Com
mittee and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE have
asked for.
Now, gentlemen of the soldier-hating
press, this is a fair challenge. Either put up
or shut up.

THE TIME EXTENDED.
ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE CHEAPLY.
Three Months for % Cents.

There has been such an expression Of de-
sire to that effect, that we have decided TO
extend the time of receiving trial sub
scriptions to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE tor
80 days longer.
Therefore zee sViH send the paper FOB
THREE MONTHS FOR 25 CENTS to az
,rbo send IN their names before the 31st Of July
nert.
This will enable every one who desires it
to have THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE during
the remainder of the present session Of Con
gress, and so have the benefit of its unusa-
ally full reports of all proceedings relating
to pension legislation, and other matters Of
deep interest to veterans aud those connect
ed with them.
1t will also give all an opportunity to
make a trial of the paper and learn what it
really IS, and compare it with other papers.
We invite such a comparison. We are really
anxious to have it, for we are sure that it
Will convince any man who makes it how
much more desirable paper than it's COM
petitors THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE really IS.
During these three months the paper viii
be kept at the highest standard of interest.
In addition to fuller reports of all Congress
siOnal proceedings, and other matters relat-
ing to pensions and veterans, than any other
paper will have, it viii have an immense
variety of original, valuable and instructive
matter, such as can be found IN no ether
paper
We ask all our readers to take advantage
of this opportunity to place the paper IN the
hands of every veteran acquaintance of theirs
who is interested in it, but does not take 1t.
They are all willing TO pay % cents for so
good paper for three months, and if the
matter is brought to their attention, viii De
ready ut OEee with their money and their
names. We hope that every man and Wen-
an now on our list, will st once send Us IN
club of names of their acquaintance. Let
us have 100000 additional subscribers before
July 81, and it viii have the best possible
effect in promoting pension legislation by
Congress, for then we viii speak in the name
of quarter of million veterans, and Cur
words will be a vastly stronger power than
ever in demanding soldiers rights.
Let every subscriber send - at least 0sss

INITIATING THE GAR. BUTTON.

Last week the three G. II. Posts of Wheel
ing met and passed resolution denouncing a
Democratic campaign badge made in imita-

ers not to sell them. The Post at Martins
Ferry did the same thing.
The comrades have taken the proper
course and we hope that now that they
have expressed their feelings on the subject
SO Enthusiastically, that the makers and wear
ers of the imitation badges will recognize
their rights in the matter, and desist from
further offending. We will not believe that
the offenders acted willfully, but through a
lack of knowledge that the bronze badge is

As we have said before we have no bias
as to whether our sugar should be produced
by sorghum, cane or beets, or whether the
policy of encouragement should be by
bounties or protection. All that we want
is for Congress to act at once and with
energy in the direction of finding out what

NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON Co., THURSDAY JULY 49, 1885

of the States of the North it is penal Of
Tense for any one to wear the badge who is
not entitled to by the rules and regulations
of the GAR.
There was some feeling among the COM
rades while ago at the adoption of bronze
button by a labor organization. 1t is true
it was fve.sided, where the GAR. button is
round, and bears different device, but these
differences were not discernible without
close inspection.
The right of other societies to the undis-
turbed proprietorship of their badges is uni
versally recognized, and there is no reason
why the GAR. should be singled out for
infringement. We have certainly as good a
right to expect that our badge shall not be
initiated and perverted to mean something
else than we intend it shall mean, as the
Odd Fellows have to expect that the three
links shall not be made a political emblem,
or that the Masons have to expect that the
square and compass or the slipper shall not
be taken to designate partizan organiza-
ton.

ENGLISH statistics of the past year have
been made up and some very suggestive
facts occasionally drift across the water
which are eloquent of the condition of
things in that paradise of free trade For
example, more than $15,O00OoO were ex-
pended for charities in London alone by
regular organizations. without taking into
account the immense sums paid out pri-
vately. OF the population of the entire
kingdom one in every 80 is a pauper and

ers to the same wretched condition as the
Russian serfs and the Hindu peasantry. This
state of things has been brought about by
the rapid development of the railway and
steamship system, which makes the crops of
Asiatic countries just as accessible to Europe
as ours are.
This is not q theory, but condition."
said President Cleveland in his annual mes
sage, and We reply that this terrible menace
to our agriculture is not theory, but a con-
dition,-and terrible ondition,-which de-
mands our earnest efforts to remedy.
We must remedy it by having more grain
consumers at home; by building up the
number until we need not export bushel
of grain. We must strain every nerve to
keep at home and spend among our own
people the hundreds of millions of dollars
we send abroad every year to buy that which
our own people should make or raise. We
must leave nc device untried until our own
farmers raise the S40O,00000O of strictly
farm products which we import every year.
This is the only safe sure, quick way to
raise the mortgages off the farms and fill the
pockets Of the men who till the soil.

The three inches of steel which Premier
Floquet thrust into Cen Boulanger's throat
last week has had a wonderful effect upon
the political situation in Europe. 1t did
not kill BOuianger, but it killed Boulanger-
ism too dead for anything but post-mor-
tenn examination. The French can stand
anything but ridicule, and to them it is very
ridiculous that the man who few months
ago was the frebrand which was to light
the flames of war all over Europe; who was
to lead the armies of France IN a war of re-
venge and reprisal against Germany, and
whose swaggerings occupied the atten-
ton of the world should suddenly come to
grief in combat which he had provoked
with man of peace and civil pursuits The
pride of the French army is MORALLY wound
ed that their foremost man should figure so
ingloriously in conflict with civilian,
and they viii be more bitter against their
yanquished leader than any one else. The
party of revenge having no leader-nor
likely to have, until the Boulanger episode
is forgotten-will go into retirement. The
French people, no longer stirred up by the
imminence of war with Germany, will de-
vote themselves to the pursuits of peace,
and Germany will relax the sternness and
energy of her military policy. Altogether

Spanish dons every year for sugar. We

THE very English New York Times re-
Gently showed its ignorance of American
history in very ludicrous manner. When
it was proposed in Congress to appropriate
$4,000 to erect a statue to Gen. George
Rogers Clark, the Times jumped on the
proposition with both feet. "Who was this
George Rogers Clark, anyhow" it asked,
evidently imagining that he was one of the
class which excites its special virulence-
the men who put down the rebellion. OF
course, the 1imes's competitors did not let
an occasion Like this go unimproved, and
they fastened to inform it that, as every
American schoolboy knows, George Rogers
Clark was the enterprising Virginia Colonel
who, at the outbreak of the Revolution, led
little band of devoted men across the Ohio
River, and after almost incredible hardships
and daring captured the British posts at
Kaskaskia and Vincennes, and secured all
the vast territory lying north of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi to the United
States Of course the Times did not know
this Why should it know aught about
anything SO purely American? If, though,
it had been some attack of Group on an Eng
lish Princeling, no matter how many years
ago, it would have been in possession of all
the particulars.
