You say that you have advo-

either | or my party associates

You have. indeed, advocated
measures that sound more radi-
cal, but they have the prime de
feet that In practice they would
not work. should not In this
letter TO you discuss your ,tti-
tude on this question II you did
not yourself bring It up. but as
you have brought II up. answer
you that In my judgment the
measures you advocate wonld be
wholly Ineffective In curing
single evil. and 30 far as they
had any effect nt all. would mere
ly throw the entire busincss Of
the country into hopeless aud ut
ter confusion. | put Mr. Taft's
deeds against your words. nsk
that you be judged both by the
words you wish remembered. and
by the words that seemingly you

have forgotten. hold II
entirely natural for any great
law-defying corporation to wish

BRYAN THE FREE.TRADER
Stands To-day as He Did When in
Congress for Free Trade.
He Pronounced the Wilson German
Free Trade Bill Just and
Honorable.

In the record OF Mr.. Bryan's public
career he is officially Identified with
Just one important measure of federal
legislation, and that the Wilson, German
tarlfY act OF 1884, As member Of the
House Committee on Ways and Means
during President Cleveland's second nd.
mlnlstration Mr.. Bryan assisted In pre-
pairing that measure, and In Its CON-
pleted form 1t bore his unqualified ap-
proval. His advocacy OF the bill drew
sharp and clear the dividing line be-
tween the Democracy of Organism and
the Democracy OF Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Bryan pronounced the measure Just
and honorable. President Cleveland de.
nouneed II as ''the creature Of perfidy
and dlshonor." refused TO sign II. and II
became law without his approval.
The distinction thus drawn between the
Bryan Democracy and the Cleveland
Democracy continues to this day.
Free Trade Disastrous.
Innsmuch as Mr.. Bryan is posing
this year as the special friend and
champion of the farmers. It is worth
while TO point out how their interests
were affected by the only important law
he ever helped TO create. The Wilson.
German act repealed the duty on wool.

helped to force upon the statute book,
the number OF sheep In tho country had

William Jennings Bryan stands to-

not get away from the record. and
there are no indications that he wants

Date of the National Encampment.

Editor National Tribune: Having read
in The National Tribune the proposal
to change the date of the next National
Encampment to week later. I must
say that I approve of such an oppor-
tune action, and hope it will be done
by the several parties in authority. 1t
would be great lift from the minds
and purses Of good many of the old
veterans who are still living and who
would like to attend this Encampment
if it would occur little later. 1t has
already been stated that they do mol
receive their pension In time to have it
meet their expenses at the Encamp-
ment, and as good many are only too
willing to go, and noticing that our
ranks are thinning. it would be quite a
satisfaction to a large number could
they gain this concession. How many
may attend this Encampment as their
last one? And it would not be an un-
wise action, 1 think, if the date were
moved to later time to extend them

.Grandfather, Oscar.

Mrs. ]. C. Sunderlin, Blairstown, n.
j., who for q number of years was a
subject of the late King Oscar H., of
Sweden, takes exception to his being
called the "Grandfather" of Europe.
He had," she says, -four children, all
sons. The oldest, now GustOf w., mar
ried Princess Sofia Victoria of Baden;
the second, Oscar, married the daugh-
ter of a Swedish nobleman, forfeiting
by that act his right to the throne; the
third, Carl. married a Princess of Dem
mark, granddaughter Of his uncle,
King Carl XIV, of Sweden, and his
youngest, Prince Eugene, is still un-
married. 1t was the tall King Christian
of Denmark who was dubbed the
Grandfather of Europe" and well did
he deserve the title, for he was the
father of the Dowager Empress of Rus
sia, of Queen Alexandra of England, of
King George of Greece, of the present
King of Denmark, of course, and the
grandfather of King Haakon Of Nor

Special Pensions.

Editor National Tribune: Does a
Congressman have the right to pass a
special act to give a militiaman $24 per
month pension? Our Congressman
passed such a one last election for one
Populist political leader by the name of
c. w. Warren, of the Kansas Militia of
1868. In the street talk before election
it was said that he had the political
right to do so.-John T. Lamb, Co. X,
9Th Ill. Cav, Vliets, Kan.
This matter of special pensions is
solely within the discretion of the Con-
gressmen and the Committee on Invalid
Pensions. Each Congressman is allowed
to have a certain number of private
pension bills each session, and he selects
those that for some reason he is most
urgent to have become laws.-Editor

Excluded Veterans,

I J. II. Powell, 10th Tenn, Bertram,
Tex, speaks up for the veterans who
were too young to be benefited by the
McCumber act and too old to be taken
into the Governments employ. 1t seems
hard that-those who were born in time
to march and dig trenches. assault forts,
fight and be killed are too young for
the benefits of the pension law. He
cannot see any justice in the discrimi-
nation against men who are under 81.
Those men did their full duty in the
field and made the best soldiers. He
never cost the Government a cent for
medicines or medical attendance.

DEAF SOLDIERS SHOULD ACT.
Defective Legislation Leaves Them Un.

Blind, halt and lame veterans Of the
war are able to get instruments of re-
lief from the Government, but there
has been no appropriation made for the
purpose of purchasing similar neces-
sary aids to the deaf. In extreme cases
the Surgeon-General has sanctioned the
purchase of ACQUISITIONS, but many men
are debarred from relief because of the
defect in the law, and even fortunate
veterans who receive them are sub
jected to unnecessary loss of time and
trouble.
A quick remedy would be for each
deaf pensioner to write personally to
his Congressman and Senator and urge
the insertion of the following clause in
the appropriation bill:
ACQUISITIONS. - For furnishing
ACQUISITIONS to pensioners who have be-
coise partially deaf and so disabled in
the military or naval service of the
United States, to be disbursed under
the direction of the Secretary of War,
