THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON Co., THURSDAY JUNE 49,

is now being paid out, and this will
be of substantial assistance to tens of
thousands who are now fighting losing
battle with adversely. 1t is estimated
that it will give from $72 to $144 year to
100000 veterans who are now receiving moth
ing from the Government, and it will raise
the pensions Of fully 100000 more who are
now receiving insignificant amounts, to Sc
month and upwards It will give 100000
widows, who are now receiving nothing,
500 year, with 81 month apiece for their
minor children. So it cannot help being of
substantial benefit 10 fully half-million
veterans and their dependent ones. This is
splendid showing, the main objection to
it being that it does not 90 far enough. IT
is good as far as it goes, but it should have
gone Oh and completed the good work by
putting on the pension-roll every man who
wore the blue honorably, and his depend
ent ones. We accept it now on the prin-
ciple that a halfa-loaf is better than
no bread, and that it does not interfere
with further legislation toward the granting
justice TO The veterans, but rather clears the
way for it. 1t recognizes facts and princi-
pies for which we and all friends Of soldiers
have long contended, and which, being now
admitted, form the stepping stones to further
action in the right direction. What il lacks
IN coming up TO our ideas of what is right
and just must be secured by further legisla-
ton that will round out and complete the
work of which it is but the commencement
We shall not rest short of the enactment Of
legislation which will give fairly equitable
pension TO every man who went to the as
sistance of the Nation in its hour of dire
need, and 10 the widows and orphans Of
such rs have passed away. We believe that
this should be in addition to the pension
they may receive for specific disabilities
that the inquitous limitation to the arrears
of pensions should be repealed, that the
bounties should be equalized, the prisoners
of war properly requited, and that men
suffering from the greater disabilities should
have their ratings increased SO rs to enable
them to pass such days rs still remain to
them free from want, and with rs much
comfo as can he occurred nv a liheral gun-
port. For these acts of justice toward the
men who gave the country everything we
shall struggle until the battle ends in vic
tory.

parties and their own private interests

il necessary, TO sacrifice the soldiers for their
party, or for any other interest that may an
peal to them. Bnt THE NATIONAL TRIn-

theirs. Let every soldier help himself by

NEGLECrING THEIR OPPORTUNITIES

NEGLECTING THEIR OPPORTUNITIES.
The frce-tIade organs do not seem to be
improving their opportunities as zealously
as usual.
The price of ice is going up rapidly, yet
none of them has charged this to the
wicked schemes of soulless tariff monopo-
lists, specializing upon the necessities of the
people,
The enormous consumption OF camphor
in the manufacture of smokeless pow
der by the "peace-loying Nations of
Europe has sent up the price like a rocket,
yet we have no howl that this is the work
of grasping ghouls of tariff sharks, robbing
every woman who has headache in order
TO ill their own pockets"
The superiority of alligators' skins for the
manufacture of travelling bags, pocket books
and similar articles is making demand
which is resulting in the determination of
the longjawed denizens of the Florida
swamps, yet We have had no yell that poor
men in every part Of the country are being
taxed TO death for the benefit of a few un-
scrupulous owners OF alligator plantations
in Florida.
Why this negligence, brethren Of the sub
sidized organs? You don't seem to be earn
ing the salaries you draw from the Golfers OF
the Free-Trade League.
The National tribune., 1890-06-19

NATURALLY, the money-kings Of the East
want every dollar possible locked up perma-
neutly IN the Treasury vaults. This dimin-
ishes the peoples stock Of money, and in
creases their own power. The scattering Of
millions among the people in the shape of
pensions, which is the most equitable way
Of distributing the surplus through the en-
tire country, Is the most effective way Of
checkmaiing them, and loosening their grip
upon National prosperity. Forty or fifty
millions sown broadcast over the country
every three months by the pension agents
puts that amount Of ready cash directly in
the pockets Of all the common people, and
ont Of tie reach Of the barOns Of Wall Street.
This is the main reason Of the vicious howl
Of tie subsidized press Of the seaboard cities
against al manner Of pensions.
