We are at "Flood Tide. -

A feeling Of confidence inspires the
people Of Vinita beyond any precedent.
All entertain the conviction that we
are certain to have the best and largest
town in this section OF the country
and possibly in the Indian Territory.
Our growth in the last year or two
has been continual; twelve months
from the payment Of the Strip money
will see ,tnita doubled in size. The
town is on the high road to fame and
nothing can prevent her from holding
the supremacy. Let every resident do
all in his power to advance the inter-
ests Of Vinita.

The American Farmer,
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1879 New York
= Avenue. Washington, d. c.
Price, only 50 Cents q Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is great Ma
tional agricultural paper. It circulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
interests of all the farmers in the Nation.
Being located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
it has special facilities for getting informa-
ton of real interest to all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, OF in
any of the Departments of the Government.
This will be of particular importance TO all
farmers this Winter, when there will be a
prolonged and bitter struggle in Congress
over the policy Of protecting farm products.
THE AMERICAN FARMER is on the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nounced program OF placing wool on the
free list, and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. 1t denounces this az
making the farmers bear the greatest part of
the weight of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice of the farmers
in favor of other interests. Every one who
favors justice and right 10 farmers and
not political buncombe, should rally to
it's support and give IL the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circuIa-
ton.
Now Is the time to do this, before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
schedules.
The paper is large eight-psgs Quarto
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. II is filed with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE viii be sent
with The american Farmer for one year for
$i.25. Present subscribers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE can have The american Former
for one year by sending % cents additional.

EXECUTE THE LAWS WE HAVE.

TIE LAWS WE HAVE
For tho present, at least, tho veterans OF
the country and their frieads should con-
centrate their energies upoa securing the
prompt and efficient execution of the pen
sion laws new ON the statute books. It is
useless to multiply laws while those already
enacted are either rendered imperative by
long delays in their execution or are prac-
ticalIy ignotsd.
Were all the laws now technically In force
executed in the spirit in which they were
enacted, and given thu scope and meaning
taas their makers intended, every deserving
veteran ia the country would now be in the
enjoyment Of a pension Possibly-prob-
ably, even-this would not be so large as he
than nothing. It would be infinitely better
than the lony-drawn-out years of anxiety
of the most deserving are condemped-years
they must spend in sickening longing for
that relief for their declining years which
they earned more than quarter of CEN
fury ago by the lavish expenditure of the
strength of their young manhood.
Being on the statute books these laws
should he obeyed in letter and in spirit
has.
have no option in the matter. No matter
what may be their opinion of the laws, it is
their sworn duty to carry them out in their
entirety. If they have not the means to do
this, then they should appeal to Congress to
give them what they need.
Certainly, when Congress passed these
laws, there was no idea i n the minds of the
National Legislators that there should be
such dallying and procrastination in their
execution that tens and hundreds of thou
sands of these whom tAey were Intended to
relieve should go to their graves denied that
relief by the delays of the branch of the
Government charged with the duty Of ex-
ecuting these laws. To imagine such q
thing is to charge the Congress of the United
States with cruel deeeption-with deliber-
a'eiy planning mocking mirage, as hrari-
breaking as that which lures on to death the
thrist-tormentsd traveller on the parched
sands Of the desert.
Let every veteran and friend of veterans
unite in determined demaad that the
pension laws shall be promptly executed
by giving q pension at once to every man
and woman entitled to the same, and that
this work be completed within set ,ime-
befsre Dec. 81, 1894.
This is the only course. This is the way
dictated b. common sense and common
justice.
Let us have It done.

RALLY ON THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
COLORS.

RALLY ON THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
CoLoRs.
1t is now over 16 years since THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE began the championship
of the cause of the veterans. 1t can look
back with pride to its course in all those
years. Always in the lead of any movement
for the good of those who fought for the
Union and their dependent ones-most of
the time in sharp struggles with their or
ganized enemies, it has everything to be
proud OF, aud nothing to regret or apologize
for. We think that few great papers in the
country can point to record with so many
brilliant successes and so few mistakes 1t
has certainly won the confidence and esteem
of its constituency to higher degree, we
believe, than any other paper in the country.
While many of our readers have at times
dissented from our views, yet tho logic of
events has never failed TO demonstrate that
We were right, aud they have not hesitated
to acknowledge this.
Now we are engaged in ore of the bitter
est fights that we have ever made for the
veterans. 1t is bitterest for the reason that
new elements are brought into the fight.
The memory of the war, with its fearful de-
mands upon the manhood of the country has
become weaker in the minds of the generation
which fought it through. Another generation
has come upon the stage, to which the re-
bellion is almost as remote as the Revolu-,
ton. Many millions of foreigners have
come in to whom the rebellion and those
who fought it are of as little consequence
az the Crimean war or that between Russia
and Turkey.
These elements are sought to be controlled
by those who hate US. They have been too
successful in many instances.
This renders paper like THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE necessity for the veterans of the
Union. II is the only great paper that de-
votes itself solely to them, and has no other
interest than theirs. It fights only for them,
and indefstigably, where other friendly-dis-
posed papers are fitful and uncertain in their
support. 1t tells the truth constantly about
the services and sacrifices Of the veterans,
and molds public opinion in favor of justice
to them. 1t opposes its truth to the poison
GUS falsehoods circulated by their enemies.
Consequently every man who has the in
terest of veterans at heart should do his
utmost to extend the circulation of the
paper. In no other way can we help the
cause so effectually. We ask every one to
go to work new to do this. Now is the i'm
portsnt time, that we may have the full
strength Of the veterans behind us by the
time Congress begins the discussion of the
pension question.
Let Us have more subscribers everywhere,
singly and in clubs. Every comrade should
see that bis neighbor comrades take the
paper this Winter.
