Get Your Vouchers.

The new pension law goes into effect at the next drawing, May 4, and it involves a condition that should be known beforehand to every veteran, that he may have no difficulty nor delay in getting his money. The purportofftne law is that every veteran shall draw his money by mail None can go to Indiahapol s and draw. To draw by mail every veteran must send his voucher in . Those who have been drawing by mail will have these vouchers, but those m ho have not, will have to send in previous to the draw aud get them. It is anticipated that a great number over the state will not understand this previous to 'h ir attempt to make their draw and will < onse . quently be delayed for ten days or more. The Republicans are quarreling among themselves ove. the authorship of the reciprocity clause in the McKinley tariff. It was known at the time who the author was. — Blaine was the man and he said that without reciprocity the McKinley law would not provide a market for another bushel of wheat or barrel of pork. Reciprocity is nothing more "than frue tiade in spots,and the more reciprocal ti ade we can have with the nations of toe earth the greater and richer will our own nation become. The more goods we can sei abroad the more work for the mil lions of people coming to our shores. W e QO w produce of farm products 25 per cent more than our own people can use. In manv lines of manufacturing our facilities for production are ample to produce a year’s supply ’n six months. The more reciprocity the more markets for our surplus productions. If the Republicans keep on as they are going now it will only be a few years until they will be quarreling among themselves as to who among them was the first to advocate free trade.—Logansport Pharos.
