RECAPITULTIOE.

Thus we see that the actually killed in
the fighting for Vicksburg exceeded the
entire number of English killed in the two
years of fighting for Sebastopol. Ii we had
the numbers OF the wounded who died, of
the missing who were really killed, and
of the men who were killed by the foul
water and malaria of those deadly swamps,
the disparity would appear much greater.
Yet the Crincan war was great struggle
among three of the then strongest Nations
in tho world, with two other Nations taking
part, while the opening of the Mississippi
was merely one of orr campaigns.

Ex-SPEAKER CARLISLE fears that pen
sion legislation will bankrupt the country.
1t did not bankrupt the country to take
from the workingmen Of the country who
entered the army several times as much, In
the shape of reduced wages, as 1t ia proposed
TO pay them in the form of pensions. 1t
clearly makes great deal of difference in
Mr.. Carlisle's mind as TO whom the money
is taken from. If from the plethoric vaults
of the Treasury, it means bankruptcy if
from the poor veterans no such danger is to
be feared.

THE MCKINLEY TARIFF BILL AND THE
FARMEIsS.

Among the Objectionable features of the
Mckinley Tariff bill as agreed to so far in the
Committee is its failure to meet the wants
of the farmers
In many instances the products of the
farm seem to be treated, as raw MATERIAL
and the already distressed agricultural
classes appear to be in danger of being
crowded to the rear in the Ways and
Means Committee room by the manufacturers.
These gentlemen should understand that
the direct benefits of the system must be
equitably divided or the people will revolt.
In a country where the ballot is common to
all, there must be fair play.
The manufacturer and the farmer are par
Elephants alike in the indirect and general
advantages of the protective system, but
there is an immediate and direct benefit
reaped at once by the manufacturer, from
which the farmer may be shut out should
a vicious and selfish arrangement of the
tariff be adopted, by which anything the
labor of the farmer creates is to be considered
raw material and sent to the free list, while
all that the artisan makes is considered 81 the
finished article" and is protected by a
duty.
Mr.. McKinley's bill is open to just
this objection in some particulars.
We see hides put on the free list
to stop the clamor of the already highly
protected New England manufacturers, be-
cause they want to get their stock from the
wild herds of the South American pampas
The steer Illinois or Nebraska is not wild
animal, bat has been brought up with labor,
expense and time. Why should not his
owner be protected in his enterprise against
the semi-savage of Patagonia and BuenOs
AyresP There is no reason why the maker
of hide should not be protected, as well
as the maker of the shoe. Whatever
argument applies to one case fits the other
exactly.
1t Ia understood, however, that, in point
of fact, many changes will yet be made
before the bill is reported, and no doubt
several paragraphs of the schedule are re-
tanned simply pending an expression of pub
lie opinion.
There is desire to hear how it strikes
the back districts before the EOll-call
Those interested in the matter of hides
should not fail to write to their Members OF
Congress ut once, because another vote viii
be taken on all contrOverted paragraphs be-
fore the bill is finally reported.

The Experiences of the
Blue Jay Mess.
BY JOHN McELRoY.
WILL BEGIN MAY |.

This latest story by John McElroy, the
author Of Andersonville, a Story Of South
ern Prisons; "a File Of Infantrymen y;
"Reminiscences Of an Army Mule" etc, is
proneuaoed one Of the best ever written by
him, and is certain TO be very interesting TO
al our readers. It viii begin with the first
issue in May.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1890-04-03

With such an array of important products
protected, TO say nothing of wool, of hops,
of hay, of eggs of vegetables, of Seeds and
of score of minor products, is it likely the
American farmer will give up the tariff
because the trade shouters are loudly
proclaiming against the iron aud wooden
barons? The farmer reads and listens
and looks the situation over carefully, and
then begins TO figure out how much of the
product represented by this vast sum of
nearly $250000,000 he might produce at
home if the tariff was only frightened a
little. The manufacturer looks on the other
side Of the picture, and he begins to cipher
out how much of the S250,000,0 900 of manu-
featured goods which are annually pouring
into our ports could just as well be made at
home by American labor if the inequalities
of the tariff were only corrected and under
valuations and fraudulent invoices stopped.
The Mckinley tariff bill is intended to
| meet both the demand of the American
farmer and the American manufactures.
And 30 they are bound to join issues and
stand by the tariff.
Surely the industrial and agricultural
progress of the country during the last 80
years will justify this conclusion. With the
enormous increase of production naturally
come lower prices. The manufacturer who
not long ago was paid SIS and even $500 per
ton for his steel rails, must now sell them
for $27 per ton, or exactly what they bring
in free-trade England. The same is true in
| every other line of manufacture. Clothing,
carpets, furniture, blankets. boots and shoes,
glassware, earthenware. agricultural nipple.

Mr.. CARLISLE is very much afraid that
pension legislation will bankrupt the
country. A man never bankrupted himself
by taking money from one pocket and put
ting it into another, and country cannot
be bankrupt by taking idle money out of
the Treasury and putting it into general
circulation by paying just debts to the men
who saved its life and made its prosperity.

Now, contrast these figures of the losses
incurred by the English in reducing Sebas-
topol with those we incurred in capturing
Vicksburg.
Excluding the bloody battles OF Corinth
and Iuka, which were really part of the
general operations against Vicksburg, we
may say that the campaign against that
stronghold began in October, 1862, when
Grant was put in command of the troops
officially designated as the Thirteenth
Army Corps" This included all in the dis
tricts of Memphis, Jackson, Corinth, and
Columbus, and numbered about 1880 men.
Subsequently this force was largely swelled
by regiments coming out under the second
call.
The first serious engagement was Sher-
mans luckless assault at Chickasaw Bayou,
Dec. 90, 1862, where, out of the small force
engaged he lost 101 killed, 982 wounded, aud
756 lnissing-1 ,029 in all
The next was the capture Of Arkansas
Post Jan. IL, 1868, where the rebels lost 2O(
killed and wounded and 4,79l prisoners
while the Union loss was 100 killed, s3l
wounded and IL missing total, 977.
Then came the long months of waiting
around BIilliken's Bend, where disease
wrought its ravages unchecked.
The last movement against the cit,
opened with the attack on Grand Gull
where our loss was 100 killed and wounded
AT Port Gibson the rebels lost 60 killed
$40 wounded and 357 missing, while thu

ments, in fact everything the farmer con-
sumes, has steadily decreased in price. And
why? Because under protective tariff the
production has been greatly increased. The
increase in the product of our farms as been
just as great. The 6OOOOO,O00 bushels of
corn produced in 1850 has to-day reached
2,0O0,0OO0OO bushels; the 100 900 900 bushels
of wheat approximates 100000 900, and the
A6,000000 bushels of oats then has now
become 7O0,OO0,0O bushels During the 40
years from 1850 to the present time, the cot
ton product increased from little over 2, OOO,-
600 bales to more than 100000 Cattle have
also increased very rapidly; cows from be-
tween 100000 and 100000 to about
100000; other cattle from scarcely IL, 000,-
600 TO more than 36,OO0OO0 While sheep
have doubled in number, the wool produc-
ton has guadrupIed. While the mich cows
are almost three times as many, their average
of rate of yield of milk has probably doubled.
And with this increase prices have nat
urally declined. Says Mr.. j. Il. Dodge in
his able report on agricultural depression,
" in wheat over-produclion has destroyed the
growers profit. Wheat growing has became
philanthropic mission for supplying cheap
bread to Great Britain, and encouraging her
manufacturers to keep wages on a low plane.
The Northwestern missionaries are still
diligently sending their seed and floating
their bread across the waters and mourning
that the profits do not return to them after
many days of weary transportation. The
area of the crop of 1899 included about
100000 acres more than the home con-
sumption of the year will require; and the
price in Liverpool has of late been the lowest
for century. We cannot force foreigners
to buy our bread. There has been mass
of ineffable nonsense regarding the mar
kets of the world for wheat. Less than a
fourth of the people of the world eat wheat.
Half of the people of Europe scarcely know
its taste, while few of the nations of Asia
and Africa have any knowledge of it."
Yet Mr.. Gladstone says the people of
America should grow more corn (meaning
wheat and more cotton, and manufacture
less iron and steel and less woolens And
that is the free-trade doctrine. Continue
our philanthropic mission for the relief of
the labor and capital of Great Britain. Is
this the only way outP Surely not. We
will gee in our next.
