NAYS.

IT has been stated that the civil
war veterans are dying at the rate OF
100 per day. Every fifteen minutes
OF that twenty-four hours the final
tap sounds for one who wore the blue.
Each year puts under the sod more
old soldiers than the enlisted men and
officers in the entire United States
standing army. Time is carrying
them off in the nineties faster than
bullets did in the sixties. The war
lasted four years to a month. In those
four years As, 900 men fell in battle on
the Union side. But now between
80, 900 and 10000 die in the course OF
nature each succeeding twelve
months. And yet when one of the
old war veterans, a man whose brave
ry In the army and loyalty to his par
ty since the close of the war is un-
questioned, asks for the appointment
as postmaster at Napoleon, he is like
ly to be turned down by the Repub-
lican administration, as he was by
the Republican, county committee,
and the position given to another
through party trickery and treach-
cry. For shame, on the very men
and party claiming to be such good
friends to the old soldiers!

Indirect Taxation.

In the days of William Pitt in the
British parliament the method of in
direct taxation, such as is imposed
by tariff upon imports, was consid-
cred the safest and best way of get
ting money from the people without
their knowing that taxes came from
their earnings.
In speech delivered in the British
House of Commons Mr.. Pitt said:
ITO levy a direct tax OF Z per cent
is a dangerous experiment in a free
country, and may excite revolt; but
there is method by which you may
tax the last rag from the back and
the last bite from the mouth without
causing murlnur against high taxes,
and that is to tax great many
articles of daily use and necessity so
indirectly that the people will pay
them andsnot know it. Their grumb-
ling will then be OF hard times, but
they will not know that the hard
times are caused by taxation
This has been the Republican
method of taxation.

BRYAN explains: ''If gold is de-
sired for boarding, or for the purpose
of forcing an issue of bonds, it will be
withdrawn, whether there is sur
plus or deficit, unless the secretary
protects the government by exercis-
ing his option and redeeming in sill
yer. When falling prices make ordi-
nary loans unsafe and ordinary in.
vestments improbable, the holders Of
idle capital are apt to advocate an
issue of bonds for the purpose of Sc
curing safe investment, and wher
the desire for bonds becomes strong
enough they can draw gold from the
treasury by presenting greenbacks
and treasury notes, and then use the
gold to purchase the bonds issued.

No Sign Of Prosperity.

The New York World, which op-
posed Bryan, last year, said few
days ago: The Republicans are in
supreme control of the national gov
ernment. They have had ample op-
portunitY to try their hand, but pros
perity has not come, nor do we see
any signs of its coming, and we can
not even see the shadow of it under
the far horizon. Meanwhile the sill
yer sentiment is steadily growing and
strengthening and the figure of Bry-
an rs the Man of 1900 looms larger
and larger.

NAfObhONs Us AAAo1 - ASe''
To nag Friends in Napoleon and
Henry Co.:
On Monday, the oath of the present
month, turned over my banking in
terests into new hands, all men OF
means and experience and well known
citizens, who have agreed among
themselves to continue the business
with the men as assistants who so
faithfully united with me in the cleri
cal work Of the bank-Mr. F. o. Blair
as cashier and Mr.. Julius Groll as
assistant cashier.
In thus retiring from active bank
ing business, / feel that / would
be recreant in my duty as a citizen
and as business man in whom the
public has placed so much confidence
for long series of years, il l did not
in some manner express my thanks
to friends and neighbors, and the pub
lie generally, who have given me their
aid and support during the thirteen
years | have been in the banking
business In their midst.
1t is with much regret that ] am
compelled to forego active business;
but as my physical condition has re-
solved itself between health and life
upon the one hand by the giving up
OF active business cares, and sickness
and broken down system on the
other by continuing at the head OF
the bank, the former is chosen with
an assurance that the remedy will ef-
feet cure.
This determination is also in strict
conformity with the advice Of the
physicians who have had my case in
hand for the past five months, in whose
Judgment, professional worth and
skill l have explicit confidence.
AS | have already said, my con
nection with the bank as proprietor
ceased on Monday, when the business
passed into the hands of worthy
SUCCESSORS Messrs. NJ. Donnelly
s. NJ. Heller, Mat. Reiser, Sr., and
John G. Grol, who continue the
business under the title of the Citi
zens' Bank of Napoleon, o. These
men need no introduction from me
as they are all well known citizens oi
financial ability, who have the
confidence of the people OF Henry
county. l bespeak for them the sam'
libel al patronage and courteous treat
ment which had been given me, anc
wish them unbouaded success in theil
new relations.
In retiring from my active business
life l do thus publicly tender III!
sincere thanks for the confidence the
citizens of Henry county have evel
reposed in me, and for their liberia
patronage through a long period o'
time. Our business relations have al
ways been most pleasant, and wish
that we may continue to be friends
and that prosperity and health may
be the boon of all. Yours Truly,
J. G. SAUR.

Japan in going to gold basis re-
duced the size of the gold yen one
half. If the Uuited States when it
demonetized silver had reduced the
size of the gold dollar one-half the
ends of justice would have been sub
served, the rights of the debtor would
have been respected and the full due
of the creditor awarded him without
a murmur. When Japan, country
of less civilization than this, changes
from q cheaper to a dearer standard
she has the honesty to make the new
standard of value comport with the
old standard of value. But the en-
lightened United States when it
changes it's standard forces the dearer
dollar of a single standard into the
place Of the cheaper dollar of the
double standard. And this they call
honor, patriotism and sound finance!

THE Republican party's claim upon
labor for support is growing less day
by day. and in the future when Re-
publican orators attempt to convince
working men by argument that the
protective tariff system is a grand
and glorious scheme by which labor
is made light and remunerative, the
workingmen are apt to repeat that
beautiful musical refrain:
1t sounds to me, it sounds to me,
1t sounds just like lie.

The Pension Question.

We clip the following we'll written
article upon the pension question
from the Toledo Blade, a paper
which everybody, knows to be Re-
publican through and through. A
few years ago the CleYeland admins
tration was denounced as unfriendly
to soldiers for advocating just what
is now contained in the Blade article:
The official estimate of tue War Depart
ment is that there are yet living 1,O35,625
survivors of the civil war. The Pension
buYeau has 100000 of these on the pension
roll, and 2l0,279 widows and minor children,
making a total of 970,67S pensioners, who
receive total of Sl40,0O0,000 a year from
the govern ment.
There are, therefore, S35 900 surviving ex-
soldiers of the Union armies who are receiv-
ing no pensions. At tbs average rate per
pensioner now pait, it would require $40,-
| O00,000 more per wear to put all eX-soldlers
| on the pesion rolls. making total outlay fo-
this purpose of $3.50, 100000 per yea.
How long will the government have to
meet pension expenses? We have some little
light on this point from the fact that,
though the Revolutionary War closed ia
| years ago, tneTe are Slill StN6Tdi WIuOW5 VI
Revolutionary soldiers still receiving pen
sions. The explanation of this is, that young
women married aged ex-soldiers simply be-
cause they would be pensionable when the
latter died, and thus would secure a
modest livelihood for life from the govern
ment. Unworthy as is this motive, 1t ls
responsible for the fact that Revolutionary
widows are yet receiving pensions, and Is
no doubt true of the wives of some OF the
soldiers surviving of later wars.
The burden of the pension payments OF the
government is an enormous one. we con-
gratulate ourselves that we do not need to
maintain great standing army, as do the
military nations of Europe; yet we are pay
ing yearly in pensions about double what II
costs Great Britain every year to maintain
her army. We now pay each year S27,O00,-
600 more than it costs Germany to maintain
her vast army, and $39, ,000, 600 more than it
costs France 70 maintain her standing army
of ,000 men.
This burden is cheerfully borne, in view
of the services of the men to whom the
money ia paid, but it is burden, neverthe-
less. 1t behooves every citizen to see th.t
there is no unworthy one receiving any
share of it. Commissioner Dudley-a Re-
publican-estimated,a at the time he was in
office, that 25 per cent, of those then on the
pension roll were not entitled to the money
they were receiving. No patriotic American
object to the pittance a pensioner receives,
If he is worthy of it by virtre OF actua
services rendered, but the unworthy ones
should be deprived of their pensions, fol
they are merely robbing the Treasury.
