THE UNSUITABLE MONEY-LENDER5.
The census of 1850 showed the tax valua-
tion of the entire property of the Nation to
be 5000, 300.
Since 1862 the money-lendsrs have re-
ceived, In principal and interest and en-
HANGED valuation of their bonds, $5,065, $685.
9i2.
That is, In return for comparatively
small investment the money -lenders have
received fully .fUe-siTths as much as every
acre of land in farms, plantations or town
lots, every mile of railroad, every ship or
boat, every factory, every negro, every head
of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, every
dwelling and furniture, every watch and
piano in the entire country would have sold
for at Sheriff's sale.
They have received hundreds of millions
moro than all the property in the great and
rich State of Pennsylvania was appraised
Mt in 1630-more than the value Of all the
property in the thriving States of Ohio and
Indiana according to the last census.
When it is remembered that they would
not have gotten one dollar OF this vast
amount II the soldiers had not fought and
endured to the end, the base ingratitude of
the moneyed classes in fighting against pen
| sions becomes very evident.

ONLY FOR STORMY WEATHER.

Some writer has said that a soldier is like
a clOak-only valued and appreciated in
stormy weather, and thrown aside unheeded
when the skies are balmy.
1t was very stormy weather in June, 1863,
when Lee, with 10000 of as fine soldiers as
the world ever saw, was in the heart of the
great State of Pennsylvania, and 1T was
question in his and their minds which rich
city they would pounce upon and destroy first.
Every day that they roamed unchecked
through the land cost the country more
than it pays out for pensions in several
years. Had the Union soldiers who rushed
up to head them off retreated after the APP
palling slaughter of the first and second
days fighting, the Government bonds, which
have Melted the holders over fire thousand mil
lion dollars, would have only been valuable for
wrapping paper; the four hundred millions
of Greenbaeks would have been used as the
Confederate notes are to-day-to print adj
vertisements on, and the hundreds of mill
lions Of due bills for mules, pork, bareback,
shoddy clothing, guns and munitions of war,
would have been waste paper.
Nor would the ruin have stopt with the
bankruptcy of the Nations creditors and
the destruction of our great seaboard cities.
The failure to conquer the South would
have been followed by an attempt to break
the North in two at the Alleganies, the Pa
ciic Coast would have tried to secede and
New York become an Independent city.
Civil wars, enormous standing armies and
costly defensive ornaments of all points
would have consumed the substance of the
people and reduced them to the serfdom OF
Europe in the last century.
All this was averted by the gallant men
who stood in the evil hour at Gettysburg
by the unconquerable veterans who
breasted the storm until it rolled back and
let the sunshine of victorious peace smile
upon a rescued country.
Could the country do enough for the men
who had saved it from hopeless ruin?
But as soon as the storm passed, the men
who were nearest destruction were the first
to forget their sayiors and press in between
them and the Nations justice. AFFECT fear
was ut once succeeded by clamorous greed,
and the money grabbers gathered all the
rich fruits Of victory, begrudging the veter-
ans even the poor husks and crumbs which
fell from the OVERLOOKING tables.
To-day thesurviyors of that band Of heroes
ask Congress- Congress which they them
selves elected-to send the money-grabbers
TO the rearmost places they held when the
storm Of war was raging, and bring to the
front the men who were at the front then,
but have been at the rear ever since. For
"a years Congress has listened attentively TO
the men who reaped the bountiful harvest
which other men sowed in the bloody sweat
of anguish. Now let il listen for brief
while TO the men who did the sowing.

AT the outbreak of the war the property
of the United States was estimated at $l6,-

structiveness, and the value of nearly 5,000,-
600 slaves had disappeared from the list
the valuation was $43,642,OOO,O0O. This
enormous increase was largely due to the
operation of properly protective system to

IT gets little tiresome at times to hear boys
talk 90 minutes In every hour about Kelley's
beautiful curves, and Bungeye's marvellous
catches, and BigAsts daisy batting, but, after
all, what wholesome, hearty, breezy passion
it Is. There is not q mean, unfair, unmanly,
unhealthy thought from first to last. 1t Is all
of the free open air, the sunshine, clear heads,
quick eyes, nerves like steel wire, mental dlscl-
pline, physical training, manly competition,
under the keen scrutiny OF thousands Of just
minded spectators. 1t viii do no harm to give
the boys pretty loose rein on baseball. The
chances are much greater that will help to de-
velop them into healthy. honest-dealing man
hood, than that 1t will injure them in any pos
sibls way. They could be vastly worse en-
ployed than in spending their leisure discussing
the merits of various baseball clubs aud players
