was at the Encampment at Indianapolis he met a
young who asked him his regiment. His

longed to the same company and regiment. The
comrade remembered woodman. and said: Yes {:
he was taken at ickamauga, and died in Libby
Prison." 1t seems that the mans family had also
thought this up to last Summer. when his son

prudent man is going to start up his mill
in face of the gloomy uncertainties Of such
legislation.
The long period of idleness has cleared
out the stocks of manufactured goods, and
there should be plenty of work in replacing
them; but merchants naturally wait to see
whether they will not be able to buy foreign
goods cheaper than those made at home;
the mills stand idle, and the unemployed
workingmen finger sadly about the streets.
Had there been no danger of interference
with the tariff, nine-teuths of the people OF
the country would to-day have almost for
gotten that there was a panic. 1t would
have been remembered only as temporary
stringency, affecting principally the stock
operators of Wall street and merchants and
spectators who had reached out too far.
Tarif-tinkering has brought the panic in
bitterest form to the wage-earner and farmer
throughout the length and breadth of the
land.

tion for all who wore the Union blue, and
ring in the birth of season of justice which
shall make 1894 as gladstone as 1893 was
distressing. Let them ring out the grief
that saps the mind" of the veterans, and
"riug in redress to all who faithfully
served their country. Let them ring out
the "slowly-dying causen of pension hating;
ring out the want, the care" that con-
sumes the souls of the widow and the or
phan; ring out the sin of objectionable
delays of justice; "ring out the faithless
GOODNESS" which bellies the Nations graft
tude; ring in the love of truth and right"
to those who rescued the Nation. Let them
ring in yourself as the valiant man and
free, with larger heart and kindlier hand"
who has turned his back on 1893 and bravely
resolved to make 1894 an atOnement for it.
Comrade Lochren, why not do this :?
Why not make Jan. 1 really glad New
Year for the I'll 900 whose cases are pend
ing in your Bureau by the announcement
that you will settle every claim before the
next New Year? This is your opportunity.
Everything is favorable for an electrifying
announcement of such change of policy.
You have tested the "purgiDg" and restrict
i've policy to the utmost, the country has
watched its operation intently, and pro-
nounced overwhelmingly against it. The
showing made in the House of Representa-
tives demonstrated clearly that for every
dollar claimed to have been saved by it, at
least thousands have been wrongfully taken
from those whose rights had been dearly
earned on the field of battle. The prompt
passage of Representative Martins amend
ment declaring adjudicated pensions vested
right showed that Congress abandoned and
condemned the pension policy OF the past
nine months. This warrants the belief that
it is in proper frame of mind to receive
from you an appeal to be given the means
of greatly liberalizng the policy of your
Bureau, and settling every claim before it
within the year that is about to open.
Will you not make this appeal at once
and let it go out to the country to gladden.
the peals of the New Years bells to every
loyal heart in the country? Hearken to the
promptings of your spirit of comradeship;
let your own sense of justice and right
assert itself; yield to the entreaties that
daily reach you from hundreds of suffering
and needy men and women; satisfy the
eager wish of the great mass of loyal people,
and win for yourself lasting reputation as
the minister of great act Of National
justice.

PICKLER,S STRATEGY.

Trust Comrade J. A. Picker, of South
Dakota, for finding strategic way for a
Judgement in the enemy's works After the
Speaker had declared the time for discussion
of the Holman amendment had been ex-
hausted, Picker was instantly on his feet
with an amendment to strike out the last
word" and under cover of this gave Enloe
a neat dressing, roasted Livingston to the
Houses taste, and wound up by having read
the following startling letter.

IT was "iust real mean for Jos.

1T was "just real mean" for Jos. =.
Cannon to question his brother Representa-
tives in open meeting as to their knowledge
of the truth of the Presidents assertion
about numbers of fraudulent pensioners in
every community. OF course, if there are
great or even small numbers of such
frauds in each community, no one knows it
better, or perhaps so well, as the Representa-
tives. Each of them represents about 100000
people in, say, 100 communities, more or
less. Consequently, every honorable gentle
man, had he so willed, should have been
able to rise to the support of the President
with some myriads of instances of frauds
within his own knowledge. The question
was very embarrassing one. If the Presi-
dents words were true, it was their duty as
American citizens and as sworn officials to
confirm their truth. It was their time to
bear testimony. They all-the whole 356 of
them-sat silent, except Livingston. of
Georgia, who can never be silent when there
is a chance to attack Union soldiers.

The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
at 1879 New York
Avenue, Washington, D. c.
Price, only so Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is a great Ma
tional agricultural paper. II 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, or 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
nOuneed program OF placing wool on the
free list, and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. 1t denounces this as
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 to farmers and
not political buneombe, should rally to
its support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its ciTcuIa-
ton.
Now is the time to do this, before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
schedules.
The paper is a large eight-page quarto,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filed with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be sent
with The american Farmer for one year for
SIPS. Present su bscribers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE can have The american Farmer
for one year by sending % cents additional.

A Good Suggestion.

The legislature of 1891 passed a
law requiring the public institutions
of the state to use native coal. This
has worked to the satisfaction of the
institutions and the economy of the
state. Now ONE a suggestion
from Hon. Herbert Root. of Valley
City, in regard to extending the bene-
fits and securing the same to the
county buildings and public schools
of the state as well; he says:
Why don't the coal men of this
state get a law through the legisla-
ture this term requiring all county
and school officers to burn Ignite
coal, mined within the state in all
county and public school buildings
within the state! Such a law would
save the taxpayers thousands of dol
lars per year and be a great encour-
ment to home industries. OF course
it is understood that public officers
will use only the highest priced and
most convenient fuel, us long as the
taxpayers foot the bills, unless some
screw is applied to keep them down
