COMRADES In rallying for the great
battle for your rights do not forget
your standard bearer-THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. Most necessary to your bat
tie is it that it should be made as strong
as possible for the great contest this
Winter.
We are going to have a harder fight
during the next session of Congress than
ever. Our enemies in Congress are far
from being satisfied with the injury they
have already done US, but contemplate
still another raid.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the main
friend and champion the comrades have
here at the National Capital and in the
whole country. 1t will make a stub
born fight to save the veterans from the
wicked robbery contemplated. 1t can
do more than any other paper or agency
can.
Therefore, it is to your interest to
build up the paper to the utmost, and
make it as strong as possible in every
community. The more subscribers it
has behind it, the stronger battle it can
make for you and all comrades There
fore, see that your name is on its lists,
and that as many as possible of your ac-
quaintaaces subscribe for it. If not
already subscriber send in your name
at once, and get at least one more. Get
up a club, if possible. We want every
veteran to rally around our flag for one
more effort. We all have to fight now,
and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will lead
Let it head column of at least 100000
subscribers. Then all the power Of the
Solid South cannot prevail against it.
Help US now, and by SO doing help
yourselves most effectively.

What queer things a man does come across
in reading the papers. For example, the
other day in looking over the commercial col
umns of San Francisco paper I saw several
items of shipments of "abslones." There were
418 packages Of abalones, valued at 1920,
shipped to China; 80 packages Of abalOnes,
valued at s5O3, were shipped to the Hawaiian
Islands, and so on. What in the world are
"abalones" I turned to my best friend,
Webster's Dictionary, and inquired. Itreplfed ::
Ab-a-lo'ne, a univalve of the genus HaliOtis,
lined with mother-of- pearl, and used for orua-
mental purposes. The sea-ear. Several large
species are found on the coast of California,
cliuging closely to the rocks.

Large in Kansas. If every veteran in
the State who has been benefited by
Comrade Blues earnest labors in bis
behalf will show but fractional part
of as much interest in his success as
Comrade Blue took in his welfare, Blue
will be elected by majority that will
be unprecedented. He should receive the
vote of every veteran, son and friend OF
veteran in Kansas. His is no mere lip
service for the comrades. He does not
overflow with professions of friendship
for the gallant veterans" while on the
stump, and lapse into forgetfulness that
there ever was war after the votes are
counted. He means more than he says,
and does more than he promises. The
veterans interests will be kept we'll to
the front while he is in Congress. Two
years ago the people of Kansas, in fit
of mistaken emotionality, elected one
armed ex-rebel Representatiye-at-Large.
We are hardly cruel enough to ask
them how they are pleased with that
little experiment. Have any Of the
Southern States responded in a similar
way? Kas Mr.. Harris been distin-
guished by any act Of, friendship for the
Union veterans? Has bis presence and
influence in the House in the least
stayed the hands of his colleagues and
former comrades-in-a arms raised to smite
the veterans? We want only our own
men, only true men, only men like
Dick Blue, in the next House of Repre-
sentatives, and the great soldier State of
Kansas should send him with a ma
jority of at least 100000 behind him.
This will give his voice eloquence and
power when advocating the cause Of his
comrades.

TRIBUNE to these who are not subscribers
to the paper, but who should be interested
in it. We ask every one who receives
COPY to give it careful examination, and
compare it with other family weeklies. We
are sure they will find it better paper for
themselves and families than any other that
they can find. 1t lisa superior paper IN every
respect, and constantly strives 10 lead all the
other publications in the country by the
higher quality of the matter 1t furnishes Its
readers. It spends more money IN getting
up paper of the highest possible class than
any other, and all matter which appears IN
it's columns is written especially for IT. 1t
has no boiler plate" stuff or syndicate
matter 1t is bright, live able, progressive,
and independent 1t serves no party, and
has no entangling alliances with any men
or faction. 1t aims only to represent the
loyal, working, progressive people of the
country, to tell the truth of history, and
champion the cause of the men whose valor
and blood made the country as great and
prosperous as it is.
The paper should be in every family, and
we ask all who read this to not only sub
scribe for it themselves, but to endeavor to
get others interested in it. 1t costs but 81
a year-tw0 cents Week-and so is within
the reach of everyone. No other paper in
the country gives SO much of the best read

Every one who is not aistinctively for
us is directly against US. Every vote for
a Republican Congressional nominee is
a vote in condemnation of the odious
anti-soldier course Of the Solid South !;
every vote against such nominee is an
approval of that course. This is the
bare issue presented everywhere to

overwhelming vote that will drive the
Solid South out of Congress, and fifty

THE tariff question has operated to
prevent the formation of "The United
States of Australia" New South Wales
has been free trade in her proclivities,
while the other colonies are strongly
protective. But New South Wales has
had to raise large part of her revenue
by customs duties, and now proposes a
federation, with protective duties not
exceeding % per cent. ad valorem. 1t
is likely that this proposition will be
accepted, and the next step after fedora
ton will be complete separation from
England. The Australians feel that
they are strong enough to protect them
selves, and that on the other hand they
are liable, by reason of their connection
with England, to be drawn into war
with Russia, France, or Germany in
which they would have no interest. The
independence party seems strongly in
the majority.

THE sensation of the past week was
the Democratic nomination for Governor
of New York. The act has as many diff
ferent phases as there are standpoints of
those who discuss it. Among the first
prominent is that the cuckoo press of
the country has been denouncing Hill
without stint as " traitor to his party"
renegade Democrat" and a dan
gerous enemy to Tariff Reform" Yet
the Democracy of the largest State in
the Uniom-which gave Cleveland
654 1868 votes in 1892, or one-ninth of
his total vote in the country-went be-
side itself with enthusiasm and nomi-
mated him by reclamation against his
protests. This demonstrates what THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has always claimed
about the essential hypocrisy and bun
kun of the clamor against Senators
Brice, German, Hill, ct al. It was only
intended as dust to blind the eyes of the
very ignorant Hill is naturally proud
of being able to make such complete
answer to his detractors. Beyond this
it is not clear why the nomination was a
desirable thing for him. 1t is popularity
believed that this is bad year to run
on the Democratic ticket for Governor
of any Northern State. Further, the
outlook is particularly depressing for the
Tammany machine in New York, and
Hill is essentially Tammany-machine
man. Lastly, there is an open grave
between the Hill and Cleveland men,
into which each faction is constantly
pitching new victims 1t is asking a
great deal of the Cleveland men to help
elect Hill and give him and Tammany
complete control of the State. The
nomination has thus great variety OF
very interesting features

CHINA gives an illustration of the con-
dition to which it is the tendency of
present teachings to degrade u.s. There
is there no patriotism, no public spirit,
no National unity. Everybody is simply
for himself and his family. There is no.
body to fight the battles OF the country,
because a man who exposes himself to
danger for the sake of the country is re-
garded as a fool, who had better be at
tending to his business at home. Con-
sequently China is likely to fall an easy
prey to country not one-tenth as strong
as she is in anything but patriotism and
public spirit.
