A DIsGRACEFuL POLICY.

The policy which seems to dominate the
Government, and which indeed was dis
tinctly outlined and asserted in President
Cleveland's message yetoing the Dependent
Pension Bill, of withholding pensions until
death shall so reduce the number of bene-
ffciaries as to greatly diminish the amount
of payment, is disgraceful in so wealthy and
enlightened a Nation, and one which has re-
ceived such incalculable benefits from the
valor and sacrifices of her sons.
A man who, in his business transactions
should calmly propose to postpone and
evade the payment of his just debts until
death reduced the number of his creditors
and prevented payment to them, would be
regarded as a signal instance of cold blood
ed dishonesty.
The Government stands in much worse
position. 1t asked its young men to make
enormous sacrifices to save its sorely- threat
ened life 1t asked them to give up not only
home and its comforts, wives, sweethearts
and children, but profitable employment
and the chances of amassing q competency,
to accept the dangers and hardships and the
meager pay of soldier In addition to all
that they endured and encountered they
sacrificed to it, in wages and business Op-
portunities, many times the amount that is
now due them for pensions, bounties and
other allowances.
There are no words sufficiently strong to
denounce the ingratitude and meanness of
the policy of saving money for an already
over-fowing Treasury by letting disabled
veterans and their families go to their graves
unpaid.

TIE WAY IT WORKS.

When we buy million dollars worth of
goods abroad we do not merely take away
from our own people a million dollars which
should have been paid as wages into the
pockets of our own workingmen. That is
but the beginning of the evil If we had
paid them the million dollars they would
have Immediately turned around and paid
it out to other producers for the results of
their labor, and these n turn to others
farmers, mechanics, etc-untiI the original
million dollars would have done the work of
10 or Is times that amount. As it is ali this
good is done to the people of some other
country.
Let us say that the million was spent for
steel rails. IF we had bought the rails at
home the million dollars would have been
paid in the first place to the workingmen in
the great furnaces, coal mines and rolling
mills. Immediately upon receiving it these
workingmen would have paid it out to the
dry-goods men, cIothiers, shoe sellers, grocers,
butchers and house owners. Almost as soon
they got it these latter would have paid it
out to the operators in wooden and cotton
factories, in shoe shops, to the farmers,
graziers, carpenters, bricklayers plasterers
painters and others engaged in building
| houses. These in turn would have paid it
to other laboringmen for what they need
and must have, and so the 81 100000 would
have done the work of at least $4,000, 0O0
AS it was, we lost the F1,00O,00O entirely
it went into active circulation among the
producers in England, and the only portion
that came back to us was the small fraction
that was expended in purchasing our wheat,
corn and meats.
This power of the home-kept dollar to con-
stantly multiply itself cannot be overesti-
mated 1t is an active factor in our own en-
richment Sent abroad it is direct loss to
us, and a power in enriching our competi-
tors. 1t is the worst possible policy to buy
abroad dollars worth of anything that we
can produce at home.
American money should be kept for Ameri-
| cans

"EGGs rs EGGs.D

The enormous quantity of 13,936,0O6
dozen eggs was imported into this country
last year. The little girl who was sent to
the barn for eggs returned and reported in
an injured tone;
"Dey is no eggs in de nests, and dey is a
whole lot O chickens standin' round doing
nothin'"
This would seem TO be the case generally
with our American farmyards, when in one
year we import an average of one dozen eggs
for every four men, women and children
under the flag
AS we made very little on the wheat which
we sent abroad to compete with that raised
in India and Russia, while the people who
sold us eggs undoubtedly made handsome
profit on them, the moral of this would seem
to be that our people should raise less wheat
and more eggs.

The State of New York has done another
generous thing for her veterans by the pas
sage of law providing that, on application
of two or more Posts of the Grand Army of
the Republic, properly approved by the COM

long, room shall be provided in any armo-
ry owned by the State, for the use of such
Posts for their meetings without any rent

NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON o. THURSDAY JULY 1885,
THE PRISONERS OF WAR TENSION.

THE PRISONERS or WAR PENSION.
The Prisoners of War Pension Bill has
been treated with most undeserved neglect
by the present Congress. There is no class
of our veterans who merit more at the hands
of the country than those who starved and
suffered in the infamous prison-pens of the
rebellion.
It is very easy for men who encountered
none of the perils of the war to jest and
sneer at these men, and to set up pretexts
why they should not receive consideration
at the hands of the Government. 1t is very
easy for these men to talk of being en-
tirely willing to be captured" of strag-
glers," "coffee boilers" "shirks who pre-
ferred the safe retreat of the prison to the
terrOrs of the battlefield" etc. But it is
only men who know nothing of the war, who
utter these calumnies. Real soldiers never
do. Real soldiers know what dread they and
their comrades had of Imprisonment; how
desperately they struggled against it, and
how they only accepted it when the other
alternative was immediate and certain death.
Indeed, as the war grew older there hardly
seemed much choice between it and death,
for the accounts which came through the
lines of the awful treatment of our prison
ers, made soldiers feel that any risk of death
were better than the acceptance of mercilesa
torture. They felt as our soldiers who are
fighting the Indians do-that death were
preferable to capture.
Then. too, the heroic loyalty of the
captives showed that they were the very
flower of our soldiery. Every day there
came the temptation to escape misery, star
vation and death by forsaking their country
but they scorned to purchase their lives al
the cost Of honor, and the graves of 10000
of them, scattered from Belle Isle to Camp
Ford, show how well they kept the faith.
The hard necessities of the military situa.
tion demanded that they be retained il
imprisonment till the close of the war, fo1
the rebels steadfastly refused to exchange
man for man, but demanded that in addi'
ton we release on parole the 100000 exces:
we had in our hands, which meant placing
that many strong, well-fed men directly il
front of Grant and Sherman. So our mer
had to starve and die that the triumph o
the flag might be assured.
Certainly the surviving remnant of this
heroic band merits far better treatment thar
they have received from this Congress or it
| predecessors.

THE airy position taken by the New York
brewers against their striking employees is
calculated to accomplish that mueh-spoken-
of feat-of making His Satanic Majesty
laugh. The brewers say that they viii not
grant the demands upon them, because they
are utterly opposed to all manner of combina-
ton and dictation. Now, the fact is, and no
well-informed man will deny it, that there is
not anywhere else in this country such an
iron despotism as that exercised by the
leagued brewers They interfere in the
business and tyrannize over the conduct of
those connected with them to an incredible
extent. For example, in most cities sa-
lOon-keeper must choose one brewery to buy
from, and must continue to buy from that
one. He cannot go to another brewery
under pain of rigid boycott, which extends
to the men who furnish him ice, and the cigar
and liquor dealers who supply him. Some
times even the grocers and butchers who fur
nish his family with its daily food, are put
under the ban and prohibited from selling
him anything. A few years ago an attempt
was made in some Western cities to cut down
the retail price of beer to three cents or
two glasses for five cents. It would ap-
pear that if a saloon-keeper is satisfied with
the profit to be made by selling beer at three
cents glass, it is nobody eIse's business.
But the brewers put the boycott to work.
None of those in the pool would sell beer to
any dealer who sold at less than five cents
glass, and they compelled all the ice deal
ers, grocers, butchers, cigar-makers, coopers,
and others who supplied thesaloonists, tOjoin
in the boycott until the latter were starved
into submission. This is why the gentle
man with the horns and cloven hoof smiles
sardonically at the lofty talk of the brewers

THE House Committee on Naval Affairs
has outlined policy which it presumes will
be fairly adhered to for the next few years
in the management of our war marine. Tt
is to give the Navy $2O,OOO,OOO year, of
which $6,OOO,OOO will be expended in the
construction of new vessels. This, the COM
mittee thinks, will in few years give US an
adequate force of swift cruisers, armed with
high-power guns fully equal in all respects,
if not superior, to similar vessels of other
maritime nations. The committee is GER
tainly not extravagant in its proposed out
lay. Twice $6,OOOOOO could be advantage
ously expended each year for the next few
years in giving US sufficient swift, powerful
cruisers to properly represent us all over the
world in case of general war which will
make such an exhibition of force necessary.

husband goaded her by years of abuse into

be severely punished, but every mans feel
ings revolt at the idea of physical violence
to woman. We are firmly in favor of
capital punishment for men, just as we be-
lieye that it is right for policemen to club
the heads off obstreperous rufians in the

any circumstances, woman should be
hanged, any more than we believe that under
