To the Editor of the Hkxald:

The pension list of the United States to up to about $t 43,000,00a This is not all for the men that were in the field, for nearly one third of It goe* to the soldiers’ widows. Now the question it who it mean enough In these days of prosperity to begrudge these veterans whatever they ran get for what they did? Who to-day is mean enough to tay to the soldier’s widow, "go to the

e.” or to the old worn out vetty of whom are carrying their

wounds or suffering from them, "go over

the bills to the poor boute?"

Can not the old veteran show value received. when, to 1861, the Union teemed to be going all to pieces, and General Toombt proposed that if the randtill* of the North undertook to interfere be would call the roll of bis slave* on Bunker Hill monument? They left their wive*, sweethearts and the comforts of home, and went forth to battle againtt the bittereat enemy of freedom. Again, 1 ask what have they to show for their awful sacrifice*? What have they? Thry will show in answer to the question one of the greatest nations on earth; a nation that every true American'a heart

, m , swells with pride at the mention of; a nation

l j Je bounded on the east by the Atlantic, on the wcat by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by the gold fields of Alaska, and on the south by the great gulf; one free and undivided nation of between seventy and eighty mil-
