On June 10, 1879, the Prince I'm
perial, son of Napoleon III. was
killed by the savages in Zululand,
Africa, and thus sadly ended life
full of promise. Princes are not al
ways worthy of esteem, but the young
man, who hoped yet to become Ma

When his parents soon after the close

at Chiselhurst, England, the young
prince, then in his 18th year, entered
the Royal Academy of Woolwich to

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

THE AMERICAN FARMER is great Ma
tional agricultural paper. 1t 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 ali 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
nounced 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 buacombe, should rally to
its support and give 1t the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circula-
ton.
Now is the time to do this, before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
schedules.
The paper is large eight-page quarto,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filled with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be sent
with The american Farmer for one year for

TRIBUNE can have The american Farmer

1t is simply impossible for the St.
Louis Republic to tell the truth about
any Union soldier. 1t recently contained
an account of the erection of monu-
ment to man named Smith at Pal

butchery ordered by Gen. Mcneil, who
collected a number of citizens of the
town and executed them because one of
his men was missing" Wilfred Patter-
son, of Germantown, Pa, replies to this {:
This is brutal libel upon the reputation
of gallant Union soldier now dead. The
men executed by Gen. Mcneil were guerril
las of Porter's band and every one of them
had been guilty of some atrocity, besides
breaking parole. The execution was ap-
proved by McNeiPs superior officers, Gems.
Merrill and Schofeld, and finally by Seere-

FIGURE 1T our YOURSELF.

1t will cost but a very small sum COM
paratively to save this Government from
the odium of having hundreds of thou
sands of its soldiers die defrauded of that
which it solemnly agreed to pay them.
When we reflect that 100000 veter-
ans could be put on the rolls at So a
month for less than $4,000, 900, and
that 100000 could be put ON for less than
S20,000,000, which would come near
exhausting all the original claims now
pending, we see that there is absolutely
no excuse on the score of economy for
the Governments violation of its con-
tract with its defenders.
At the outside, not more than $780,
100000 would be required to settle
every claim now before the Pension
Bureau, and at rates that would fairly
accord with the spirit and intent of the
laws. The clamor about hundreds of
millions being required is the widest
Of lying, and can readily be demon
strated to be so by any man who will
take the trouble to make some very
simple calculations. Eight dollars a
month is 500 year, and to put 100000
men on at this rate would require ex-
actly $9,600,000, and 100000 men,
S19,200,000. There were 249,000 origi-
nal claims pending July 7, 1893, but
an unknown number of these were of
persons who have died since filing their
claims.
Taking the claims for increase and
everything, it is entirely probable that
every pending claim could be settled,
with fair show OF justice and llberallty,
for less than s3O,oOO,0OO, or but little
more than the sum which it is reported
that the Commissioner intends to save :"
of the present appropriation.
Think what an amount of misery and
want this would relieve, how far it would
go toward redeeming the Nations honor
by the ful6llment of its promises, and
what world of good it would do the
country by aiding the restoration Of
business prosperity. The people need
more money in circulation, as weak
man needs nourishment. To give the
veterans s25,000,00O or s3O,0O0,000
would be the most helpful thing possible
toward stimulating the long-waited-for
revival of business.

MAJ. .-Gen. George g. Green, Col. Richard
Savage, Judge Sanford, of Albany Col. Fred
Green, Col Himan Dowd, and Maj. E. Ellery
Anderson were among the speakers at dinner
which was given last week by veterans of the
18th regiment, Old Guard Association, New
York. 1t was their 18th annual celebration ot
their going to the front in 1861. In proposing
the first regular toast Gen. Butterfeld spoke q
few words concerning the war record of the
regiment. While the speeches were being
made handsome medal was passed around
among the guests. It is to be awarded each
year to the member of the regiment who OBJ
tains the greatest number of recruits.
Col. j. E. McCabe, Beaver Falls, Pa, was
chief of Sheridan's scouts, and one of the 45
who acted for him in rebel uniform in '64', So.
They obtained their uniforms from Confederate
prisoners and mingled with them. thus learning
all about their regiments, brigades, divisions,
and corps. The survivors of these As scouts
will hold Reunion in Pittsburg during the
National Encampment. Col. McCabe is be-
lieved to be the last man living who was pres
ent and witnessed the formal surrender of
Gen. Robert Z. Lee to Gen. U. s. Grant. Com
rade McCabe was a Sergeant in the. 18th Pa.
Cav. when he was selected to perform the
periIous duties of a scout and spy. During a
week prior to the surrender these scouts were
continually passing between the lines of the
two armies, being protected by passes from
Gems Sheridan and Early.

is hardly necessary to say that Judge Long is
the man who has became famous throughout
the land by standing up for the rights of pen-
sioners, threatened by the rulings of the pres
ent perverted law. When his pension was

engaged in now for the benefit of pensioners
generally. Commander s. B. Church, Warren

THE rebel papers insist that they put
"the choicest pearls of their manhood :"
into the field for the Confederacy. The
soldier-hating papers of the North insist
that we sent the scum Of our cities and
towns against them. Between the two
the rebel papers are infinitely more hon.
orable and manly. The South did put
its very best men into the field and the
Union sent its very best against them.
Inferior men could not have won against
the magnificent soldiers who fought for
the South. None but the best soldiers
in the world could have overcome them
in square, fair fight to finish, such as
the Union soldiers made and won.

IT is simply criminal that men who
are entitled by the laws of the country
to pensions are kept out of them, under
one pretext or another. When Congress
passes and the President signs a law it
becomes the solemn act of the American
people, and 10 man, no matter what his
position, should dare attempt to defeat
the will of the people by placing such
construction upon it as will practically
nullify it. He has just as much excuse
for taking a bond out of bankers
vault, or the property from mans farm,
as he has for taking away a pension
which a soldier has honestly earned, and
which the laws say he shall have.

OF course, there are more pensioners on
the rolls than were men present for duty
at any given time during the war. When,
for example, the 57th Mass. left the State
April Is, 1864, with 1862 men, and 716
of them were killed or wounded inside
of four months, the "present for duty !"
number was decreased very rapidly, and
the pension-list should have increased
proportionately. Within a month after
the 57th Mass. entered the field it had
the right to have many more names on
the pension-rolls than on its roster.
