The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1879 New York
Avenue, Washington, D. c.
Price, only 80 Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is q 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
ii has special facilities for getting informa-
ton of real interest to all farmer 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 q
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 buncoy-be, should rally to
its support and give 10 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
$125. Present subscribers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE can have The American Farmer

James T. Clark. 1912 Grayson street San An

under Gen. Sherman from 90 till '65. he was
Head Bandmaster, and the General called hin
the right-bower Of the regiment. which was
the 18th Regulars, organised at Jefferson Bar
racks, Nc. in 1861. A eomrade says Of him:
He was always ready, no matter what the
occasion; his study was to please. and he always
finished program with a National air." The
sight Of his left eye is now almost entirely
gone, owing to disease contracted in 1865 He
was discharged in 1855 on Surgeons certificate
of total disability after serving she Governments
25 years altogether. For number Of years
before the war he was Master Musician in the
Navy. on board the flagship of the Pacific
Squadron, the Savannah. Mr.. Clark would ike
to hear from any comrades who remember him.
Col. E. T. Lee, Monticello. H.. is Secretary Of
the Shiloh Battlefield Association, aud its organ
izer, and the originator of the movement to
mako the Shiloh battlefield National Me-
mortal Park He entered the army in July,
1861, and served over four years in the 4Ist H.,
participating in all the battles and marches in
which his regiment took cart including Fort
Henry Fort DoneIson, Shiloh. in both days
battles; Corinth, Hatchie River, Yicksburg.
Jackson, Miss; the march to the sea, and
through the Caroiinas. He entered the service
in his 18th year. He was wounded in the
right hand and shoulder in the terrible charge
at the second battle of Jackson. Miss, on July
IL, 1868. when Pugh's Brigade was annihilatsd.
He has made study Of the battle Of Shiloh for
many years and is familiar with all the details
of that terrible conflict. During the last year
he has devoted almost his entire time and
energies to the organization Of the Shiloh Bat
tlefeld Association. and has written thousands
of letters to the old comrades in every part Of
the country, and has received the hearty sup
port of the press in his great work.
Sanford University has bad many visitors
lately to observe the somewhat strange Spec
tacle of an ex-President of the United States
discharging Professors duties. There was
larger attendance than usual when Gen. Harri-
son delivered the fourth lecture before stu

A large meeting was held in Baltimore last
week by the Merchants and Mauufseturers'
Association. Gen. Felix Agnus was invited to
deliver an address on the Maryland aud Della
ware Ship Canal. This project has been quies-
cent of late, and the business men wish to re-
vive it with view to pushing it to success.
The attendance was large aud included distin-
guished people from other cities as well az
representatives from all professions and bust
ness interests of Baltimore. Gen. Agnzs illus
trated bis remarks by large maps, which showed
the importance the ship canal is playing in the
world, and the saving that the canal across the
Maryland and Delaware Peninsula would make
to the commerce of this country.

Again it SAYS:

When the militia regiments of volunteers
were first called into service in 1861, none
of them was inspected as to the physical
qualifications OF the men. In So per cent
of the United States Army regiments there
was also no pretense of thorough inspec-
lion of recruits on enlistment In only nine
per cent. had there been thorough REIN
spection when or after they were mustered
in. As result of this neglect, 1920 men
were discharged in October, 1861, from the
Army of the Potomac, as unfit for service.
of whom three-ffths were thus discharged
on account of disabilities that existed at
and before enlistment and which an intel
ligent Surgeon should have discovered on
their inspection. These fraudulent and un-
worthy men, along with many thousand
others of the same character, and many
Others who only wore the uniform for few
weeks, are in receipt Of incomes from a
grateful country"
The utter falsity of this is SO clear to
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1894-04-26

With this slender presentment the
Times goes off into columns of abuse OF
the pensioners, and of the soldiers in
general. Here is its picture of the way
the armies were recruited:
When the facts in regard to procuring
some Of these pensioners, white and black,
to enlist in the army, are made known, the
readers of the Times will be forced TO recog-
nize picture beside which all that Clarkson
and WilbeTforce once detained about the
horrors of the slave trade will be forgotten.
False representations of every variety were
made, and in many cases the recruits were
compelled to swear in under threats of
physical violence in case of refusal Nor
was this the worst. Between the bounty
brokers and certain Of the authorities there
was abundance of evidence of schemes to
commit fraud, the most cruel, UNLESS, and
gigantic. In almost every street of New
York parents lamented the enlistment OF
their bapless sons, mere boys, between IA
| and IL years of age, who had been made
drunk, and then enlisted and robbed of
every dollar of their bounty. Cases are on
record in the War Department In which old
gray-headed men, tottering on the verge oil
the grave were carried, while intoxicated,
to a BARRIERS shop, their hair dyed, their APP
pearance spruced up with some semblance
of fictitious juyenility, and then enlisted
their bounty money being the reward of the
patriots engaged in this disreputabie bust
ness.
This must be very pleasant reading
to the New York boys of 80 years ago
who imagined that they were animated
by the highest spirit of patriotism il
responding to their country's call. They
are now told they were made drunk by
Crimps, and rushed off to the from
before they were allowed to become
sober. Is not this a fine showing t.
parade to the world of the gallantry
and patriotism of young American man
hood? How eager the English-toad,
Times is to belittle the spirit of th,
countryl
