The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1929 New York
Avenue. Washington, D. G..
Price, only SO Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is a great Ma
tional agricultural paper. 1t circulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
interests of all the farmers in the Nation.
Beng located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
il 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 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 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-pags Quarto,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filled with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers

Doubtful literary quality.
AID the picture may be weak, dim in out

to the fact that it is from plate worn out aud

A damaged or badly printed book and an in

they are a constant eyesore aud a permanent

One in every seven was SO badly disabled

One in every seven was SO badly disabled
to compel his discharge.
What does the Nation owe to the men
who did all this, who suffered all this, and
who gained all this?
There was definite, binding contract on
the part of the Government that the men
who entered its service should be in part
compensated for any injuries that they
should receive by the payment of pension.
The grateful people were for interpreting
these promises most literally. Congress took
the matter more dispassisnately and business
like. From time to time it fixed the rates
of pensions which should be paid, just as it
fixed the rates of interest to the bondholders.
But there was this amazing difference be-
tween the two classes to whom The Nation
was indebted: The bondholders were
hunted up, the amount of their claims as
certained at once, and they were paid to the
last cent, in gold, that liberal Interpretation
of their claims would give them. They did
not have TO waste any time in hunting up
evidence to substantiate their claims and
then stand in line waiting payment. On
the contrary, their principal and interest
were sent them before they were due. They
were solicited to take their money and re-
lease the Treasury. The whole energies of
Government were concentrated upon get
ting the bondholders paid off in the shortest
possible time, and the people were begged
to periodically submit to enormous taxation
to accomplish this.
But the men to whom the country owed
inconceivably more than it did to the bond
holders-who had given it its very existence,
who had purchased its salvation with their
hearts blood, who had lavished their youth
full strength and hopes of life to firmly
cement the proud fabric of its prosperity
these men We're hidden to wait more con-
venient season for payment. And they
have waited, hundreds of thousands of them,
to this day. Hundreds of thousands more
have gone unpaid to that shore where they
reck as little of National gratitude and
justice as they do of the torrent of contumely
which has deluged their still surviving COM
rades.
1t is nearly 90 years since these men fin
ished their great work, and the shameful cor
fession has to be made that I'll 900 of them
still have their claims for justice pending in
the Pension Bureau, with the day of settle
ment apparently rs far off as it was quarter
of century ago.
When in future years grateful generations
shall turn the leaves of The past to read
how their fathers treated the men who saved
the country from lis greatest peril, how their
cheeks will burn with shame to read this
blistering record of National faithlessness
and ingratitude.

LEADING QUESTIONS.

| AAEhDiNG ObESItoSS.
Did the Government of the United States
call for the young men of the country to
enlist in its service to rescue it from an over
whelming disaster?
Did not, between April 10, 1861, and April
IL, 1865, 100000 of these men answer this
call, by signing the enlistment rolls and
placing themselves at its command to do
whatever it required of them?
Did not the regularly appointed officers
and agents of the Government certify that
every one of these was healthy, able-bodied,
and capable, before admitting him TO the
ranks?
Did not the Government promise every
one of these certain ecifc things, such as
pay, bounty, clothing, rations, and a proper
| pension if disabled? or to those dependent
upon him if killed?
| Was not every one of these items definite
| provision in the contract, and as binding
| upon its maker as were the terms of the
contracts it entered into with tie money
| lenders, or the men who sold it beef, pork,
clothing or mules?
Has not Congress repeatedly recogn zed
the binding nature of this obligation ny he
passage of laws providing for the pay mcnU
of pensions?
All these being facts about which there
can be no dispute, what possible excuse can
| there be for the non-payment of pensions
which were earned by the stric;est possible
compliance with The terms Of the contract?
Did not the men who entered its service
fulfill their part of the contract scrupulously
and entirely, and TO the complete satisfac-
ton Of the Government and the country?
Did not they live up to their side OF the
bargain fully as well. 20 say the least, as the
money-lenders and others did to theirs?
Was not the Government just as strongly
bound to pay pensions to the disabled, as it
was to give the soldiers food, clothing and
pay, or to pay the money LENDERS principal

one year ago probably a majority of The
people of the United States believed that
"the p.nsion-roll was honeycombed with
fraud" To-day every thinking man be-
lieves that there is lesser proportion of
fraud among pensioners than in any other
portion of the Government expenditures
For this vindication we have to thank our
enemies. We could rot possibly have justi-
fed ourselves before the people so effectual-
~ as they have in their year Of determined,
vindictive scrutiny of the penson-roll, with
all the money, all the help that the Govern
ment could give them. There is a silver
lining to every cloud, and this is the broad,
lustrous lining to the one which settled
