Then there are the old soldiers of the late war that the Government did not do justice to. Give them more liberal pensions. equalize the bounties. etc. The Government did well by the bondholders. why can it not do equally well by the men that made it possible that there is so much money on hand now? But let the Government do with the surplus money whatever it is a mind to. but for Heavens sake do not tinker with the tariff. Protect the American workman from the pauper labor of the old country. With my kindest regards and best wishes for your welfare. I remain sincerely yours.
