THE Free Trade Philadelphia Record has
an attack of Mysteries because there has been
$i,052,2l5, 413.37 expended for pensions since
1861. 1t gets so excited that its arithmetic
becomes loony, and it makes big head
line TO the effect that this is $300000,000
year" Any school boy would tell the Record
that it has made little mistake of $780,
100000 a year 1t is 30 years since 1861;
Si,o00,000,000 divided by 30 would give an
average of 3d., 333, 1888 a year, or one. tenth
the Records average. Nor does the Record
dare place in comparison the sum which the
money-lenders have received in the same
time. The soldiers gave this country in
sacrificed wages several times as much as
the bondholders lent it. The bondholders
have received up to date $4,000, 100000
where the pensioners have received but
$l,00000G000. If the Government was TO
put on the pension roll for life every soldier
and soldiers widow or dependent parent,
then pay all the arrears of pensions fully
and justly, equalize the bounties, make the
pay received by the soldiers during the war
equal to gold it still would not pay to the
men who saved its existence one-half as
much as it has already given the shrewd

states. This year additions have been made
to that army which it is estimated will in

RALLY ON THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
Comrades should lose no time in organ
izing to press THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
Service Pension Bill through Congress.
This is by far the most satisfactory servic,
pension bill that has been suggested, and II
contains more elements Of justice than any
other. None other has met with such hearty
acceptance by the comrades. II provides:
1. That every man who served 30 days or
more in the army or navy between March,
1861, and December, 1867, and was honor
ably discharged, shall be placed on the pen
sion roll at one cent per month for every
day that he served, but that no pension shall
be less than S. a month.
9. That this pension shall be in addition
to any pension which may be allowed for
disability.
3. That enough clerks shall be immedi-
ately added TO the force in the War Depart
ment and the Pension Bureau TO carry out
the provisions of the law within two years
after its passage
This bill has everything to recommend it.
1t is just, it is fulfIment of the solemn
contract entered into by the Government
with its soldiers, and 1t is practical 1t pro-
vides its own machinery for carrying its
provisions into immediate execution.
The comrades should everywhere form
associations to push the bill before the peo-
pie and Congress. They should support it
in every soldier gathering, insist on its in
dOrsement by Posts, Reunions, Conventions
and Department and National Encamp-
ments. They should write to their Congress
men about il, and call the attention of can
didates to it.
Let everyone set to work in this direction.
Let all energies be concentrated upon it,
and our success viii be certain.

NONSENSE is being talked by the free
traders about Spain retaliating for the sugar
duties by prohibiting the importation of
American -four. This is nonsense, because
we are now the only customer Spain has for
her Cuban sugar, and to cut us off would be
to deprive herself of all sale of that product.
Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, Holland,
Portugal and Russia all either raise their
own sugar Mt home or in their colonies.
What sugar England uses over and above
what her colonies supply she gets from
France or Germany under reciprocity treat
les Spain cannot more surely destroy the
commercial value of Cuba than by interfer-
ing with the islands trade with the United
States. The total exports from The island
amount to SOS 100000 per annum, of which
We take about $59,O0O,O00, or more than SO
per cent. We take 80 per cent. of it's sugar.
We also take the greater part of its tobacco,
coffee and mahogany On the other hand,
they take less than 10000 of our prod
ncts. II Mr. Blaine's project of reciprocity
with Brazil and other South American coun-
tries were carried out, so that we would buy
our coffee sugar and tobacco there, Cuban
planters would be utterly ruined, and we
could have the island on our own terms.

WHAT difference it makes whose OK il
gored. The Germans thought it fine stroke
of statecraft to protect their farmers by pro-
hibiting the importation of our pork products
under the silly pretext of trichinm, and 30
cut off over $12, 100000 a year of our trade
But they are now bowling dreadfully be-
cause the Mckinley bill proposes to inter-
fere with some of their profitable trade with
this country. There is this difference in
the two methods: The Mckinley Bill does
not discriminate against German goods in
favor of any other, but treats all alike, while
the German ban was a piece of bad faith,
and international discourlesy, because it
singled out our farm products for prohibit
ton, and made lying pretext for their ex-
cIusion, which damaged their value in the
markets of the world.
