The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1929 New York
Avenue, Washington, D. G.
Price. only 80 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 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
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 buncombe, should rally to
its support and give it 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 filed with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be sent
with The american Farmer for one year for
$1.25. Present subscribers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE can have The american Farmer
for one year by sending % cents additional.

AS TO THE FORM.

A large number of comrades have
applied to us to send them petition heads
for memorials to Congress for law max
ing all claims now in the Pension Bureau
Especial" and to be settled by Dec. 81,
1894. ,nI1,
Such a thing would not do at all.
The moment that these petitions began
to be presented the soldier-haters would
raise the cry that the petitions were
machine made y; that they were the
work of the pension attorneys in Wash
ington," etc. They would, therefore,
lose their proper effect The petitions
should appear as the work Of the indi-
vidual comrades in every locality in the
country. There is no difficulty about
the form so long as the idea is expressed,
and to have it expressed in the language
of each set of petitions will be all the
better. Here is the general idea:
To the Senate and House of Representatives
an the Congress Of the United States assem-
bed
Your petitioners, whose names regiments
and residences are hereunto subscribed ear
nestIy but respectfully set forth that though
- &c me OF nln
of the war fthe rebellion, there are more than
$4,000 claims for pensions growing out of
services rendered during that war remaining
unsettled in the Pension Bureau. very
large proportion of these have been pending
for many years. The claimants are all M UGH
advanced in age, and are still older than their
years by reason Of their disabilities. Their
needs demand that their cases be settled at
once, and unless this is done tens of thou
sands will die denied the relief which the
Government owes them. We therefore ear
nestly pray that you pass law providing for
the settlement of every claim now in the
Pension Bureau by Dec. 81, 1894.
This is the main idea. Let every
gathering of comrades modify the ex-
preston to suit their ideas, and put in
their own language. 1t should be signed
by every man who wore the blue, and
every petition should be in the hands OF
Congress before the end of the coming
month. This will show that the com.
rades everywhere are aroused against
the objectionable delay in the settlement
of pension cases, and determined that
something shall be done.
The National tribune., 1894-04-05

We simply say that if such men as
Maj. Walling are not to be pensioned,
the Bureau might nearly as well be
abolished. -
In support of its startling headlines
=" The New York Times Has Found
Men who Were in Canada During the
War, but Are Now Drawing Pensions
the paper gives this single instance:
IL V, alias J.7J,av., lives at 208 State
street, Ogdensburg. He enlisted as pri-
vate in Co. ], 18th \. Y. Cav, and was mus
tered in Aug. IA, 1862, to serve three years.
He is now about IS years old, a dark COM
plexioned man, with chin beard medium
hight, aud incapaeitated for work somewhat
from the effects of old age. He works at
times as q teamster, doing such odd jobs as
present themselves.
He went to the front with his company,
and did his duty, so far as is known, during
the first portion of his term of service. A
furlough was granted him, and he returned
to Hermon, where he had previously lived,
and where he had enlisted. He makes no
secret of the fact that he did not return
when his furlough expired.

Y. said he secured an honorable discharge
under the proclamation of President Lin
coin, and that it was in the possession of
Frank Johnson at the time the reporter saw
him.
This is the sum total of all its clamor
about "deserters." The man merely
went to Canada on visit and overstaid
his time, because he did know where to
find his regiment That he finally re-
turned to his company and his duty is
evidenced by the fact that he received
an honorable discharge 1t will be
noticed that the Times avoids saying
how long he was away from his company
or in Canada.
AS we said last week, we are entirely
willing to have the Times continue its
investigations. We are more than will
ing; in fact, we are anxious to have it
do so. 1t is helping the cause of the
soldiers inconceivably more than it hurts

INCREASED BUSINESS.

We congratulate the comrades upon
the increase in the allowances in the
Pension Bureau. Last weeks report,
published in another column, shows that
there were 2,346 allowances, of which
1927 were original claims. This is not
quite SO we'll as in previous weeks, but
still it is double and treble the number Of
some weeks last Summer, and seems to
show a steady increase. Let us trust
that this is SO, and that the increase will
develop from steady to rapid until il
reaches the rate which will settle the
whole of the pending claims by the end
of the year.

THE attention of the gentlemen from

ing that their section gets nothing from

REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER, of Hill
nois, started off to make fierce arraign-
ment of the tariff as an increase of farm
ers' burdens, using the census report on
mortgages as basis, but was speedily
brought up with round turn by the
skillful cross-questioning of Representa-
tives Reed, Henderson and Cannon. 1t
developed that in his own State much
more than half-56.99 per cent.-of the
mortgages are on town lots-principally
in Chicago, where great improvements
have been made, and that the farmers
have been rapidly getting out of debt
in the past 10 years.

OLD soldiers, familiar with the re-

more or fewer-across the country, but
when it comes to an actually there is
the grim fact to face that every one of
those men must have pound Of bread
and pound of meat every day, or
there will be trouble. A man who
would start out to march so few as 900
men to the next town would find him.

think of how many Commissaries they
wanted to kill during the war.

FORRFS,S PICTURES.

The offer that we make elsewhere this
week of Forbess great war pictures
should be carefully considered by every
reader of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
There is no question about it, these are
infinitely the best pictures made of the
war, and every soldier who has seen them
has gone into raptures over their truth
to actual life. They have none of the
stiff conventionality and unlikeness of
the customary war pictures which repre-
sent nothing ever known among men,
but are the work of a talented artist,
who went to the front and drew men,
horses and guns as he actually saw them
not as he imagined them to be from a
distance.
The first prints of these pictures sold
at high prices among lovers of art and
military men all over the world, and we
now offer what readily sold to them for
$50 for 10 cents a number, or 81 fol-
the whole lot.
1t is the best thing that we have ever
offered the readers of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, and any man makes serious
mistake who does not avail himself Of
this opportunity to get these master
pieces at what is no more than a nominal
price.

ENDED IN a LOVE FEAST.

Spectators at a School Board Meeting
Expected, However, to See Trouble.
What promised to be a stormy ses-
sion of the new organization Of the
Lackawauna township school board
last night in No. 8 school, Minooka,
disappointed the expectant one', as it
resulted in just the opposite.
The cause of the anticipated pillows
arose from the claim Of Robert Bur.
leigh that he was entitled to "a seat,
being elected school director for three
years over his opponent Michael Sheg-
han. But Burleizh included in mis-
total vote the vote cast in BELLEVUE,
which was IA part Of the city Of Scran-
ton.
For that reason the Democrats on
the board objected to seating him.
Burleigh met their objections with the
point that if anything irregular hap
pened q contest within the time spsci-
fed by law should be instituted against
him, No contest was proceeded with
and the thirty days limit to bring con-
tests, had expired and for that reason,
as he was declared elected on the fac
Of the returns, he was entitled to the
seat. That convinced the Democratic
members and he was admitted us 9
member.
The board then completed its organ
izstion. Philip Roach was elected
chairman; Griffith 7. Davis, treasurer,
and Patrick Higgins, secretary.

The South Side board Of trade held its
regular monthly meeting last night.
After the passage of preliminary rou.
tine business, G. G. Boland, always an
earnest champion Of street improve
ment, took the floor and advocated
some means whereby the wretehed
condition Of many streets would be
bettersd. An informal discussion
nmong the members resulted from Mr..
Boland's introduction, and the matter
was disposed of by a motion to stir up
the streets and bridges committee Of
councils. In tine discussion on the
street question the proposed improve
ment of Mates street was the earnest
sentiment of the board that the case is
in need of attention in "a hurry.
A few bills wers read and approved
aud new business was taken up. Under
this head the poor attendance at meet
ings received attention. All present
were of the opinion that if the meeting
night were changed to some other date
many that ARE now compelled to attend
other meetings on the same night
would be present. Accordingly the
date Of meeting was changed from the
first Tuesday night Of eac month to
the second Friday night, the change to
take effect at the next meeting, which
will be assembled on Friday, July 10.
Park Commissioner I. J. Moore then
brought up the lake project. aud it was
enthusiastically received. The mem.
Ders met the idea in q business like
way and by motion and unanimous
consent it was decided to agitate it be-
fore both councils and also labor with
the park commissioners in cooperating
to secure a lake for Cornell park.

PREDICTS a REVOLUTION.
Wdyne mdependent.

A revolution is coming in type-setting.
1t may be some time before it reaches the
country office, but 1t is surely coming and
composition by hand will then be a thing
of the past. Scores Of daily newspapers
have already adopted some one OF the
several type-setting machines now on the
market and as soon as the cost Of them Is
lowered they will be placed in the offices
of weekly papers. The spinning jenny
came to the weavers, the harvester and
binder to tho farmers, and now the type
setting machine is coming to the printers.
The march of labor-saving machinery is as
steady AS tho movement of the world and
no Ii with intelligence would wish to re.
sist it, because the fields of industry al
ways have and doubtless always will sup
ply work for all to do, unless interfered
with by unnatural laws of mans making.
