With sincere gratitude we express our
admiration for the patriotism and herolsm
OF the soldiers and sailors who defended the
flag aud Union We believe the time has
come 10 grant every soldier and sailor
service pension, and the equalization OF his
pay to the standard OF gold, the same as the
bondholder received. aud that disability
pensions shonld begin from date OF disabil-
~ in all cases. We therefore declare for the
repeal of the date clause OF the arrears Of

peuse OF the generous treatment We would
extend TO soldiers aud sailors. We favor a
gradual income tar aud a new issue Of
legal tender greenbecks.

10 thank the brilliant and gallant Pension
