ne DEMOCRATS AND THE G@ A R. They Would Not Give a Penny for Their Entertainment. So much has been said about the re- fusal of the Democrats to give any recognition to the G. A. R. at Washing- ton that it may be interesting to know just what the cold facts are. An inves- tigation shows that ‘he hon-> ~; propria tion committee ma -.ypropriation for or recognition of Lue event in framing the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Nor did the house itself do so. After the bill had been passed in the house President Harrison, seeing that no action had been taken on that subject, sent a message to congress calling at- tention to the subject and suggesting the desirability and propriety of reason- able aid for a proper entertainment of the men who saved the nation. The senate appropriations committee, acting upon the president's suggestion, reported an ariendment giving $100,000 for this purpose. Senator Cockrell im- mediately moved that the amount be paid exclusively from the revenues of the District of Columbia. This was voted down, the motion, however, re- ceiving 17 votes, of which 16 were cast by Democrats and Farmers’ Alliance members—nearly all of them from the south. When the bill went into confer- ence, however, the house conferees in- sisted upon placing the Cockrell amend- ment upon the bill and on also cutting down the appropriation to $75,000. This was combated by the senate conferees, and the bill was hung up in conference for weeks. The house conferees, with the weight of the three-quarters Democratic house behind them, were able to carry through their propositiou, and the sen&te con- ferees were obliged to yield and permit the entire burden to be placed on the district. The Republicans in both houses spoke and voted almost solidly against the proposition to place the entire bur- den on the district, saying frankly that the people of the nation would not only willingly bear a share of the expenses. but esteem it a favor to be permitted to doso. The only result of their efforts, however, was to get the total appropria- tion finally fixed at $90,000 instead of 75,000, as urged by the house conferees. I believe it will be possible to consti tute @ commission nonpartisan in its membership, and composed of patriotic wise and impartial men, to whom a con- sideration of the questions of the evils connected with our cieetion systems and methods might be committed.—Har- rison’s Letter of Acceptance. The Democratic Campaign Orator Prom- ises Too Much. (Pia Tal TARIFF on [L_} FREE | sugar BANKING 4 — The committee on war claims in the Democratic heuse of the Fifty-second congress reported favorably bills to pay more than 870,000,000 of southern war claims, and other bills of a similar char- acter amounting to $500,000,000 have been introduced and are now awaiting action at the next session. McKinley's Democratic Rival Converted. One more tariff triumph. A dispatch from Alliance, O., announces that Wal- lace H. Phelps, editor of the Alliance Daily Review, a prominent Democrat in times past, and candidate for congress against Governor McKinley on the Democratic ticket in 1886, has renounced the Democracy and comes vut tor Lar rison and Reid. He gives as his rea- sons that he has become thoroughly con- vinced of the great benefits accruing to the American people by reason of the protective tariff system tempered with reciprocity, and advises those who do not believe that American manufactur- ers’ workingmen should be brought into competition with the poorer paid labor- ers from Europe to vote the Republican ticket. The Democratic party when in charge of the treasury loaned, free of interest, to “pet national banks” throughout the country $61,921,294. This has been re- duced by the Harrison administration to $13,866,270, and the surplus used for re- duction in the interest bearing national debt. Democratic Pet Names for the Soldiers. Are the Democratic soldiers going to vote for Cleveland because the chief spokesman of the Democratic convention and platform, the Louisville Courier- Journal, denounces them and their wounded, sick, helpless, aged and infirm Looters, Perjurers, Coffee coolers, Robbers, Camp followers, Agrarians, Red nosed patriots, Thieves, Loafers? —Madison Courier. General Weaver, the People’s party candidate for the presidency, has aban- doned the campaign in the south because ef the public fusults he and his wife re- ceived. Such a thing has never happened and could not happen in Republican communities. Grover Cleveland, while president, ordered bis subordinates to use force Dill methods for his own re-election. This is shown by copies of his official ‘orders to Attorney General Garland, pub- shed in correspondence from Wash- i boys in blue. “SOUTHERN “CHIVALRY.” It Threw Rotten Eggs at General Weaver and His Wife. The beautiful sentiments of the De- mocracy which find expression in the north in the ery of “No force bill” took another form, but with similar meaning, ia lcorgia when General Weaver, the Peopie’s party candidate for the presi- dency, spuke there. Rotten eggs were thrown at him and his wife. The mis- tiles were effective, for they struck Mrs, Weaver and Mrs. Lease as well as thd general, and resulted in the cancellation of General Weaver's engagements. Mrs, Lease, who was with the party, thus tells the story: “No, I did not speak at Macon,” she said, ‘‘although I went there with the intention of sodoing. After supper at the Lanier House General Weaver went upon the front porch, Mrs. Weaver and myse!f following him. In front of us was a howling mob of several thousand people. Mrs. Weaver stepped behind a table, upon which were three lamps burning brightly. Hardly had she seated herself before she was struck violently on the head with a rotten egg. “At this juncture a gentleman rushed up to me, and catching me by the shoul- ders begged me to come inside in order to escape any danger. ‘No,’I said to him, ‘if this cause needs martyrs I will be the first.’ All during this the gen- eral was cocl and collected, although the crow! continued to throw eggs, striking persons who were not with our party. General Weaver attempted to speak three times, but each time was silenced. “It was not the boys of Macon and the hooclums who attempted to break up the speaking, but some of that town's most prominent citizens were on hand. The people of Macon will receive retri- bution for egging Mrs. Weaver, who is a pure Christian woman and president of the state W. C. T. U. of Iowa. Already eighty cotton planters have announced that they would withdraw their patron- age at once. SOLDIERS DESERT GROVER. General Beers Tells the Old Soldiers Why He Cannot Support Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland is not popular with the General Sickles, the one legged veteran, who reiterated at Wash- ington his belicf and hope that the old soldiers will not vote for Cleveland, has an earnest supporter in General E. O. Beers, of the Thirtieth New York regi- ment, a brave znd valuable officer eg the war. Ina lon: letter to the old seldiers General Beers sayg: “T have arniver at the age of fully threescore and have been a lifelong Democrat. But I am fully satisfied that Mr. Cleveland is not the friend #f the soldier boys of 1861-5 and is not emtitled toand should not receive our swpport. It seems very plain to me that with the past record of Grover Cleveland i any veteran casts his ballot for him he not only stultifies himself, but goes back upon every comrade of-the Union. army. We must not let General Apathy run this campaign; let us enlist once more under General Activity and carry on one more vigorous campaign in the maintenance of our rights.” In another part of the letter he says: “Mr. Cleveland occupied the presiden- tial chair for four years, but Ihave yet to learn of an instance where he inter- ested himself in the procurement ofa single pension, no matter how worthy or needy the applicant. On the con- trary, his almost universal use of the veto on pension Dills is a convincing ar- gument of his hostility to granting pen- sions.” SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS, Hundred, of Millions of Dollars’ Worth Pressed for Payment by Democrats. The co:nmittee on war claims have re- ported in favor of more than $70,000,000 worth of claims for damages caused by the devastation of war. If there is any thing settled in law it is that no nation ever undertakes to repair the damages of war. Where the accident of destruc- tion falls, there it rests. But there is grave danger at this very moment that we shall at this late day be cajoled into vast payments in that behalf. These claims come to us under the sanction of religious societies, to pay for rent of chuci., to pay for damages to schools and colleges, Eachis fora small amount, but the aggregate will appall the coun- try. In addition to the $70,000,000 al- ready reported by the committee on war claims $400,000,000 and perhaps $600,000,- 000 of such claims have been referred to the court of claims.—Ex-Speaker Reed.

An official estimate puts the losses by holders of state bank notes during the last ten years of the existence of that. wretched system at $75,000,000. Thomp- son’s Bank Note Detector of 1858 gives: the following list of broken, closed and worthless state banks: " CLEVELAND'S LETTER. Chairman Carter Dissects It in an fate esting and Vigorous Way. Mr. Clevelznd’s letter of acceptance ‘is conceded that he he: ;iven the public. It wa generally cri:icised as a pitiful attem)t to straddle a!] the doubtful issues of the canipaign and make enemies of nobody. Here is what Chairman Carter of the Republican committee said of it: It is rather difficult to figure out from | Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance cisely what he believes about anythi He starts out by saying that he is more than ever confirmed in the belief that all the things which he has heretofor believed are true and excellent. J sup- pose that nobody will doubt Mr. Cleve- Jand’s regard for his opinions, Still in the present situation, the Republiczn party having declared plainly and cx- Plicitly in a tariff so devised as to protect American industries while raisiug the revenues necessary to support the gov- ernment, and the Democratic p having explicitly declared that suc’ arrangement of the tariff is unco! tional, it would have been interestin know whether Mr. Cleveland agre with the Republican or Democratic 1! ory. It will be remembered that in 1884 3! Cleveland ran for the presidenc: was elected on a platform which that the Democratic party simp! sired to reform the tariff, and that in re- forming it they did not intend to disirr) existing industries. They said that were aware of the fact that many i dustries depended on the protective ti and that all changes of ex must take note of the interests of tl: labor and capital invested. This was one of those characteristic Democratic dodging planks which was intended to mean, and did mean, anything to any- body. Mr. Randall stumped New Y saying that it meant protection; » Hurd stumped Ohio saying that itm free trade; Mr. Mills stumped Texa ing that it meant an income t: Watterson stumped Kentucky ies that it was exactly in line with the views of the star eyed goddess of reform. But the Democratic convention of 1892, when this identical plank was pr sented to it by its platform commi overwhelmingly threw it out, and i vote of 546 to 342 the convention de clared itself for free trade pure and siin- ple. To have regard for any other pu: pose, it said, in devising a tariff, thar: the one purpose of raising revenue, was unconstitutional. In dealing with thi< plank Mr. Cleveland has t ed in dent distress. He means what the plar means, but does not dare to say so. In- stead he says he believes what he alw: believed, and that everybody knows wh: he has always believed, and that that ought to be enough. Finally he says the people cannot be frightened by the specter of impossible free- trade, which means, if it means anything, that the people must have confidence in him and his party, because they do not really mean what they say, and have not the courage of their convictions. This is certainly a curious ground on which to appeal to intelligent people fur their suffrages. The Democratic con- vention declared at Chicago in the repeal of the 10 per cent. ta state bank issues. This has excited profound alarm of every believer in a stable currency the country over. Thos of our people who lived before the v will remember the condition of congr and affairs when everybody was per mitted to start a bank and print slips « paper called money to the extent of inclination. Millions on millions of mor: or less worthless money floated around the country, nobody knowing preci what the bills he had in his pocket w be received for at the bank, nor ind:-ed whether they were genuine or countcr- feit. The Republican patty is fighting in this campaign for protection to Ameri- can industries and American labor. The Democratic party is fighting for fre: trade. Mr. Cleveland dodges the issu. The Republican party is fighting in t campaign for honest money—dollars o! equal value, and that value 100 cents « the dollar. The Democratic party is fighting for wildcat money—an unl: - ed issue of meaningless paper. On t!:is issue Mr. Cleveland is silent, THEN AND NOW.
