serters and bounty jumpers and
frauds of every sort on the pen
sion roll there should be no diff
Guilty in proving it by giving the
names and addresses of some of the
guilty persons. Who are these
"frauds?" Where are they? How
much money do they draw? Were
they officers or privates? How did
they get on the pension roll? The
presentation of evidence of their ex-
istence would amount to something.
1t would show that the soldier
haters, however vindictive and I'M
patriotic their motives might be,
were resting their impeachment of
the pension system on basis of
fact. But facts are conspicuously
absent from the arguments of the
assailants of the veterans. They
prefer cheap invective and brazen
accusations, without the presenta-
ton of an atom of proof.
Every man of common intelli-
gence knows that the safeguards
thrown around the pension system
prevent the pensioning of "desert-
ers and bounty jumpers, No man
can get a pension for injuries re-
ceived in the civil war who does not
Prove that he was honorably dis
charged from the armies of the
United States. Honorable dis
charges were not granted to ode
serters and bounty jumpers" Not
only is an honorable discharge rig
orously insisted upon as the first
essential in procuring a pension,
but the entire record of the appli-
cant is looked up in the regimental
reports on file in the War Depart
ment. The frequent assertion in
he Democratic press that "any one
can get pension" 1t scandalously
false. Nobody can get a pension
who does not prove his right to re-
ceive one. The charge that the
pension list contains the names of
multitude of "deserters and
bounty jumpers and frauds of every
Sort is cowardly falsehood.
The pension roll is large because
the Rebellion was great. 1t is en-
phatically a roll of honor, and it is
so regarded by vast majority of
the nation, in spite of Democratic
ISLANDERS and misrepresentation.
This is fact which will become
unmistakable if Mr. Cleveland and
his followers, the Bourbons and the
Mugwump defamers of the Union
soldiers, attempt to withdraw the
assistance extended by the nation
20 the crippled veterans whose valor
saved it. Democratic attacks on
the pension system means disaster
to the Democracy at the first cleo

MISTAKE MADE BY EMPLOYERS

The fundamental errors of employers
is in regarding laborers merely as pro-
ducers, from whom the maximum of
services is to be enacted at a minimum
of cost, instead of consumers who fur
nish the market for more than three
fourths of our manufactured commOdi-
ties. Wants are the measure of wages,
and their standard is fixed by the cost
of living. Higher wages and fewer
hours of labor for the twenty millions of
working men and women of the United
States means greater activity in all
branches of business, increased con-
sumption of products, better education
of children, happier homes. purer poll
tics, firmer guarantees for constitutional
self-government Lower wages and more
hours of labor must be followed by stag
nation, depression and moral, intellect
ual and physical deterioration. 1t is
upon these grounds that high protective
tariffs, the restriction of immigration
and the exclusion of contract and con-
vict labor find their supreme gratifica-
ton. 1t is not question of party SUI
premacy, but of self-preservation. Pro-
ducts cheapened by low wages are bad,
but men cheapened by degraded compe
tition are worse.

THE WISDOM OF WIVES.

A mans wife often knows more than
he does about great many things, and
while he need not lower himself in her
estimation by admitting her mental SUI
periority, it is sometimes we'll for him to
silently recognize her superior intelli-
gence, and profit by it. If he is wise
man, he will not be too ready to come
into accord with the opinions of his wife,
but will affect great deal of wisdom of
his own, even though he knows that he
has none. 1t never Increases wife's re-
spect for her husband to know that he is
her inferior in anything, and it certainly
does not increase her respect or her af-
lection to have him intimate by word or
look that she does not know anything at
all. The judgment of the average wom-
an regarding the disbursement of money
is often better than that of the average
man, particularly when it comes to
spending money for domestic purposes.
1t takes shrewd tradesman to get over
the average sensible woman, while a
tradesman finds it easy to work off stale
goods on the average man; and the most
conceited man might as well acknowl-
edge frankly that his wife can attend to
most of the affairs of her own household
better than he can attend to them for
her. Women very often have the most
acute perception regarding business
affairs. If men would only talk bust
ness" with their wives, instead of taking
it for granted that women "don't under
stand anything about business" there
would probably be fewer failures. Many
a successful business man owes his sue
cess to the keenness of Judgment of a
partner whose name does not appear in
the firm or over the shop window, and
who is not supposed to have any con-
nection with the business, and that part.
ner is his wife, in whom he is wise
enough to cOnfide. The exchange of
confidence and mutual respect for each
others opinions would do much towards
making the wheels of domestic happi-
ness run along smoothly.

HOW SHE BECAME A MISSIONARY.

''I'm doing missionary work a good
deal of the time" was the reply of one
of the most charming women of New

busted herself. 81 see by your looks
you wonder what l mean by that. I'll
tell you. A few years ago life was bur-

male weakness of the most aggravated
character fora long time, and the doc
tors failed to help me. Existence was
long, steady, terrible torture-a lingering
living death. One day saw Dr.Pierce's
Favorite Prescription advertised in the
newspaper Something il the advertise
ment impressed me favorably. L caught
at the glimmer Of hope it held out as the
drowning man is said to catch at a straw.
Still, did not dare to hope. But got
the medicine, and behold the RESULT l

full that go about telling other women
what saved me. In no other way can l

to the man who has proved such bene-
factor of women, and my love for my
suffering sisterhood."

NO BLANKS IN THIS co.PEr1oN.


This is a competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
Tisking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for Il
club house on certain corner is not ac-
cepted has spent his labor on something
OF very little use to him. But the person
who patented simple and useful device
in the Press Claims COmpanys competi-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a subs tantial result to
show for his work-one that will com
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the thoo-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

engine struck the animals with such force as
to hurl their mangled bodies against the door
