GRAyELOTTE AND GETTYSBURG.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Kindly give
through your columns q comparison of the actual
numbers Of men engaged at Getty sburg and Grave
lotie, The losses in killed and wounded and the
actual time in hours and days Of fighting.
Also. did England, Germany, any other coun-
try meet with the Losses in single war that the
Union and Confederate armies did in our civil war;
and did any single regiment OF these countries
meet a loss such sustained by single regi-
ments in the Union aud Confederate armies?
These questions are to decide argument am oil g
several parties in this city,. G. TAYLOR, Co. b,
l4th n. j., Treaton n. J.
At the battle of Gettysburg Gen. Meade
had 81, 900 men on the field, of whom about
$4,000 were actually engaged. The latest
official revision of the Union losses in the
battle make 1921 men killed or died of
wounds, 12264 wounded, and 5, 435 missing
total, 22.390. At Gravelotte the Germans
had 21l 900 men present, of whom LAG, 900
were engaged. These lost 4, 449 killed and
MORALLY wounded, Is, 1s9 wounded, and 939
missing; total, 20,577. Thus it will be seen
that the Union army, with less than half the
nuuDcI5, tUSb uOIc tudu the herman army.
The heaviest regimental loss during the
Franco-Prussian war was that of the 10th
Inf. at Mars La Tour. 1t took 5000 men
into action, and lost 500 killed, 619 wound
ed, and 365 missing total. ,4s4, or 49.4 per
cent. Col. Fox, in his Regimental Losses"
gives 81 Union regiments and AZ Confederate
regiments which sustained greater per-
| centage of loss in single battles.
During the war of the rebellion the Union
armies lost A. per cent. of their entire
number killed, and the Confederate armies
over 8 per cent. In the Franco Prussian
war the German army lost 81 per cent.
killed. In the Crimean war the allied loss
was 3D. per cent. killed, and in the war OF
1866 the Austrians lost &c per cent.
The battle Of Gravelotte lasted one day-

resolutions in favor of it at political gather
ipgs; let them use their influence with
their Senators and Representatives to see
that it is done, and let them petition the
Commissioner OF Pensions to do it.
They have nothing to fear, but verything
to hope from such an investigation, for it
will set them right before the country. Our
enemies have been talking very vociferously
about investigating. Now let us demand an
Investigation that will be an investigation.
They are afraid of such an investigation,
because they fear TO have the actual facts
made known. We have nothing to fear
from it.
Let us insist upon it SO strongly and
unitedly that it cannot be refused us.
Comrades, awake to the importance of
doing this, and act promptly and together.

LET AN INvEsTrGATIoN BE DEMANDED

LET AN INVESTIGATION BE DEMANDED.
Speaking in the name of 100000 surviv-
ing veterans whom it represents, The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE has demanded such an
investigation of the pension-roll as will
satisfy the public, and silence at once the
yilIainous obloquy of the pension-haters.
in which this can be done in few hours
and which will be more effective than any
other way can possibly be.
We have asked that 1000 or 2,000-or
any given number-of cases be taken from
the files, in the order Of their allowance, and
all the essential facts connected with them
. be made public. We are not at all strenu-
Gus as to the number of cases; we want only
enough 10 be accepted as fair sample of
the whole. But we are strenuous that they
be taken consecntipely-t there shall be no
sorting and selecting TO make showing one
way or the other.
1t is impossible to make such an exami-
nation of the whole 100000 cases, for the
work would require years, and the most OF
| the veterans would be in their graves before
it was finished But to take 1000 or 1000
or 10000, for that matter-from the mid.
die of the roll would answer every pur-
pose, and this can be done in few hours
by the present clerical force of the Pension
/ Bureau.
Now, we believe it TO be the immediate
and pressing duty of the comrades every
where to demand in unniistakable terms that
this investigation be made, and at once
Let them pass resolutions in favor of it al

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.

The sensation of the past week was the
suspension from the pension-roll of Hon.
Charles D. Long, one of the Justices Of the
Supreme Court of Michigan, and who has
been in receipt of a pension of S72 a month.
Much comment has been made of the fact
that, while receiving this pension, he has
been able to discharge the duties of his
position, and receive salary of $1,000 a
year; and commissioner Tanner has been
severely censured for raising the pension
from $50 to S72 month.
The facts are that Judge Long was terri
bly, wounded. His left arm was torn off,
and he received gunshot in the left hip,
which ranged through to the right hip,
where it still lodges and produces running
wound in the abdomen, which has to be
dressed twice a day. With his left hand
off, it is impossible for Judge Long to dress
the wound himself, and another person has
TO be constantly employed to do this.
OF course, the doctrine that we have al
none of the Governments business what
amount, if any, the pensioner has been able
to earn since leaving its service. The PEN
sion is the payment of debt due-of an
obligation incurred in the fulfillment of a
A e.
instant make the plea that the pensioner
should not have the money because he may
be able to get along without it. Such an
argument is as dishonOrable as it would be
to evade the payment of interest to bond
holder on the ground that he has plenty Of
other money, and does not need his interest
That Judge Long is able to hold the office
be does is simply because he is more fortu-
nate than most of his comrades, and it has no
bearing whatever upon his pension. He is
entitled to his pension, whether he is in the
poorhouse or rolling in wealth, simply be-
cause he rightfully earned it. A pension is
not gratuity or aims, but payment for serv-
ice rendered and partial return for dis
ability incurred.
Even if the question of present salary is
allowed to enter it forms no justification for
the stoppage Of the pension. If Judge Long
is able to earn $1,000 while suffering from
such a frightful disability, what would he
not earn if he was whole man? What
man is there who would take his daily mis-.
cry for S72 month, or 10 times that
amount?
The National tribune., 1893-07-27

WE take this opportunity of renewing our
suggestion that the best and most effective
way of showing friendship for silver is to in
sist on receiving it for all payments. If
every silver man in the United States should
ask for silver whenever money is being paid
him, the vaults in the Treasury would be-
come emptied Of their plethora inside of
month, and the "white metal be given
boom that no amount of speech making and
passing of resolutions can do. There are
about 10000, 900 people in the United States,
and only about 100000 silver dollars in
the Treasury. 1t would take only an aver
age of S. in silver per head of the inhabit-
ants to clean out this accumulation, and the
fact that the farmers and mechanics of the
United States were demanding silver for
their corn, wheat, livestock, and days labor
would at once outweigh the depression
caused by India's demonstration, and boom
silver all over the world. Let the silver
men think of this and act accordingly.
Nothing is hurting silver SO much as the
fact that the people of the United States do
not use it in their dealings, but let So out of
every Sc that are coined lie idle in the Treas
ury.

DO YOU WANT TO CO
To THE
WORLDS FAIR?
WE WILL GIVE YOU
A FREE TICKET.

Our offer of free round-trip tickets to the
GAR National Encampment last year was
so successful that we have decided TO repeat
the plan upon a larger scale for the benefit
of intending visitors TO the Worlds Fair at
Chicago.
Last year hundreds of our readers got
frst-class round-trip tickets from their
places of residence to Washington and
return by a little effort in making up clubs
for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Our plan worked very successfully-every-
body was more than satisfied. Very many
were able TO visit Washington who wanted
to do so very much, but felt that they could
not incur the expense, and we gave them an
opportunity which they gladly improved
There was nowhere a single expression of
dissatisfaction.
We will do the same thing this year
with regard to those who wish TO visit the
Worlds Fair We seM gioe a .frst-cIass
round-t,ip ticket from any point IN the United
States 10 Chicago and return for club Of
subscribers, prOportiondte 10 The distance The
point is from Chicago.
This ticket will be for the most direct
route between the two places, and it viii have
all the advantages in T, gard to the time for
which it will be good, length Of stay in
Chicago speed of trains, etc., that any first
class ticket will have In brief, it will be
the best kind of a ticket, which will be a
great superiority, as there will doubtless be
many tickets offered by various parties
which will be only for very slow trains, in
ferior cars, limited as to time, etc. Our
tickets will all be for first-class, fast trains,
and have every privilege given the best class
of tickets.
The carrying out of this scheme involves
an immense amount of correspondence and
clerical work on our part, and we are now
prepau a cbedule of the sizes of clubs
which We will require from different points.
We will publish this as soon as completed,
which may be some time hence.
In the meanwhile, those who intend to
work for these tickets should begin at once.
They can send in their subscribers as fast
they obtain them, notifying us that they
are for Worlds Fair Ticket" and they
will be properly credited 10 them. If they
afteTward change their minds they can have
the Subscribers sent in applied on any other
premium that we offer.
We should very much like to have those
who expect TO get up clubs for these tickets

Some of the Men who Have Lost their PEN
siOns Under Recent Decisions.
Joseph King, of South Chelsea, Mass, has
been drOpt from the pension rolls He is
the grandson of a man who commanded a
famous privateer in the war of 1912. He
enlisted in 1861 in Co. T, "a h Mass, and at
Roanoke Island was severely injured by the
conclusion OF a shell which burst near him.
but recovered and served till the end Of his
enlistment. In October, 1864, near Deep
Bottom, Va, he strayed into the rebel lines
and was ordered to surrender. He managed
to throw his would-be captors off their
guard and knocked two of them down. In
escaping he received q severe wound in the
groin. On account of this he was unable
to do any manual labor for two years after
the close of the war He was afterward en-
ployed in a factory until his eyes, which had
been affected by the shell, began TO give out,
and he had TO relinquish that employment.
he then became janitor of the Massaehu-
sets Historical Society, where he was re-
gsTded very highly, but had to give this up
because of becoming entirely blind and also
deaf. Commissioner Black allowed him
pension of $72 month for total blindness.
This has been suspended"
In 1861 Henry Brocker was one of the
patriotic young Germans who helped to
save Missouri for the Union. He at first
enlisted in Co. G, 1st Mo. Cav, and was
discharged at the end of six months, when
he re-eniisted in Co. F, 1st Mo-, in which he
served three years and re-enlisted as vet
eran, serving until Nov. II, 1865-four years
and five months. His health was broken
down by his service, and he removed to
1..It T. 4
land. Subsequently his brother furnished
him means to start small store, by which he
made good living. But his sight had been
failing ever since the war, and finally got so
defective that he was compelled TO give up
business. He applied for a pension under
act of June 81, 1890. and was allowed s. a
month, but has received notice that this has
been suspended.
Charles o. Ingalls,, of Niagara Falls, N. Y,
has received notice that be has been dropped
from the pension rolls. He served in the
28th n. Y, and in 1883 was granted $18 a
month for insanity resulting from a sun
stroke. He has been in the Buffalo State
Asylum, from which he was discharged on
account of being entirely harmless. Old
comrades who were well acquainted with
his good service as soldier have taken much
interest in the case, and one of them who
testified to his being stricken down at Cedar
Mountain was Mr. Irish, a wholesale paper
dealer, of Buffalo, n. Y.
Hiram Weeks, of Minneapolis, who served
four years in the Federal army, has received
notice that his pension of S. per month will
be discontinued. He passed through 43
battles, one of which was Gettysburg. He
is now very near death from gangrene of
the foot and various other complaints, some
of which have been traced directly to his
exposure in the army.

THE gross ignorance of that inveterate
pension-hater, the st. Louis Republic, on
everything relating to the war or to soldiers,
is shown by its speaking of William Newly,
the defendant in the exciting Newly case
which is going on in Illinois, having be-
longed to the "Fortieth Illinois Cavalry"
1t would seem that any man who has read
anything at all about the war would know
that there were never 40 cavalry regiments
from any State. The highest number of
cavalry regiments from Illinois was II; but
this is on a parity with the Republics in
formation on all subjects relating to the war
of the rebellion.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Though there have been o number of quite
heavy failures during the past week, there is
very strong belief that the worst is past,
and the financial situation improving. In
the Eastern portion Of the country the
squeeze carried down values entirely too
far, and the reaction has set in.
In the Interior and on the Pacific Coast
the banks are still having hard time, but
in large proportion Of them the deposits
have begun to flow back.
The European demand for our breadstuffs
and forage is beginning to make itself felt
in firmer prices and a more active demand.
Prices, owing to the monetary stringency,
have not responded yet as was expected, but
December wheat at IA to 80 cents is con-
ident talk in Chicago.
1t is believed that the shipments of wheat,
corn and forage to Europe will be enormous
within the next 60 days.
While the wheat crop will probably be
short, the corn crop will be enormous
never greater. The high price of pork, and
the certainty that Europe will have to buy
large quantities of our meat for the next
two years, owing to the great slaughter of
their own animals because of lack of forage,
viii provide profitable use for this crop.
The uncertainty as to the action of Con-
gress on the tariff continues to be the most
unpleasant feature of the situation, and its
effect is seen in the daily stoppage of great
factories and mills, throwing thousands out
of employment
President Cleveland, who is regarded as
the arbiter of Congress, could not do the
country greater service than by saying
anthoritatively that no action will be taken
on the tariff for year. Were he to do this,
business would at once revive.
