THE SOLDIER'S IW,NIC Democracy’s Proud Record on the Pension Matter. w»i*y p Nearly. All Legislation Enacted by Democratic All th® L»W» Which Hm Proven ®«- peclally Beneficial to the Feteran* and Their Dependent* Have Originated In Democratic House* of Representative*. President Cleveland’* Record In Signing Private Pension Bills—A Magnificent Showing. Notwithstanding the persistent claims of the Republican party that it is the sole and only friend of the old soldier and the chief conservator of his interests, the United States statutes and the records of the pension office show that he has been better cared for by Demo- ' ©ratio than by Republican congress. Democratic houses passed these acts which were approved by u Democratic president: Aug. .4, 1886—Increasing pensions of armless or legless veterans. March 19, 1886 —Increasing from $8 to sl2 per month the pensions of widows 1 and dependents. May 15, 1886—Granting discharges to Missouri Home Guards. May 17, 1886 —To correct records, enj abling thousands of veterans, otherwise I debarred, to secure pensions. Jan. 29, 1887—Giving $150,000,009 to Mexican veterans. June 7,1888 —Granting arrears of pensions to widows from date of death of ; husband. Aug. 14, 1888—Relieving members of marine corps of technical charges which prevented them from getting pensions.. | And all these bills originated in Democratic houses. Aug. 16, 1876 —Issuing artificial limbs to veterans. Feb. 28, 1877 —Increasing pensions of those who lost both an arm and leg. March 9, 1878 —Granting pensions to veterans of the revolutionary and 1812 wars and their widows. June 17, 1878—Increasing to $72 per month the pensions of those who had lost’ both arms, both legs, or both eyes. June 16, 1880—Giving $72 per month to totally ilisabled veterans. March 3, 1879 —Increasing to $37.50 i per month pensions for hip joint amputation. March 3, 1879—Tne arrears of pensions act increasing the pension roll from $33,000,000 to $57,000,000 at a single bound. Dec. 21,1893 —Representative Martin’s act making a pension a vested right. Feb. 26, 1881 —Protecting veterans in soldiers’ home. July 14; 1892—Pensioning at SSO those requiring partial attention from others. Aug. 3, 1892—Granting pensions to army nurses. July 4, 1884—Regulating fees of pension claim agents. ■ The Indiana Record. ' United States Pension Agent Spencer for Indiana, upon the request of H. C. Bell, deputy commissioner of pensions, forwarded to that gentleman a statement showing the number of new names added-to the pension. rolls at the Indianapolis agency since March 4,1893, when the Democratic party came into power, and also the number of pensioners who have been reduced in rate or whose names have been dropped from the rolls in Indiana since that time. These reports show that 3,902 new names have been added to the rolls in this state, and but 165 have been reduced in rate, and but 82 dropped from the rolls. So it will be seen that less than one in each county has been dropped, while an average of 42 new names in each county have been placed upon the rolls and an average of less than two in each county have been reduced in rate. When it is remembered that there are over 68,000 pensioners residing in the state of Indiana it will be seen how clearly these figures show that the pensioners of Indiana have not been mistreated by the administration. The total dropped and reduced is 247; distributed through 72 counties. Private Pension Bills. During the 24 years of uninterrupted Republican administration — 1861 to 1885—2,001 private pension acts passed by congress became laws, an average of about 83 a year. During Lincoln’s ad ministration, 41; Johnson’s, 431; Grant’s, 490; Hayes’, 303; Garfield and Arthur’s, 736. In the first three years of President Cleveland’s former administration —IBBS to 1888—out of 1,560 submitted to him, 1,369 became laws, more than 33 times as many as during Lincoln’s four years, more than three times as many as Johnson’s four years, nearly three times as many as Grant’s eight years, .four and a half times as many as Hayes’ four 1 years, and nearly twice as many as Garfield and Arthur’s four years. ’ The average yearly number of these private pensions acts which became laws under 1 Cleveland’s former administration was , 456, five and a half times the average annual number during the preceding Republican admlhistrations. The Average Pension. In Indiana the average is 5,300 pen- : -stoners, receiving $900,264 per congres- > sional district. t In Ohio, 4,904, receiving $825,080 por district. In lowa, 3,464, receiving $561,437. Pennsylvania. 3,193, receiving $505,R9.K Illinois, 3,124, receiving $500,906. I Massachusetts, 3,100, receiving $529,- ’ 826 Wisconsin, 2,761, receiving $437,885. 1 .Rhode Island, 2,111, receiving $»34,- ’ 400. _ ’ Minnesota, 2,329, receiving s3<s,2O<>. The average number of pensioners in each congressional district in the United ’ States is 2,711, and the average amount ’ of pension paid in each congressional ' district is $410,282. . - , The pensioners in the state of Indiana I are receiving annual average pensions equal to $169.87. In Ohio it is $168.25, 1 in Town $162.10, in-Illinois $160.34, Minnesota $139.81,. Wisconsin $158.60, Penn-

jjiTwi. *u».« «i to Bhoa. utaa Th* Democratic R.oord. During the four years of Democratic administration—from 1885 to 1889—over 80 per cent of all claims filed were allowed. During the preceding Republican administration the average was but 78 per oent, and during the last Republican administration (Tanner and Ranm) only 67 per oent of the claims filed were allowed, notwithstanding the addition to the clerical force of the bureau of more than 400 persona. During the four years of Democratic administration — from 1885 to 1889 — $296,458,741.25 were paid for pensions, $15,500,000 more than were paid during the 15 years of Republican administration from 1861 to 1875, inclusive; and ind’J’.Ung the ostimgtwi for tfje fiscal year, Dom Oct ..t! almlmstrations under Judge Loohren :uid General Black, have, in five years, disbursed $5,750,000 more than all the Republican administrations in the 20 years from 1861 to 1880, inclusive. ’the total disbursements for pensions since 1861 were in round numbers sl,730.500,000. During 16 years of that time, counting the present congress, the Democratic party in the house of representatives, under the leadership of Randall, Carlisle, Crisp, originated appropriation bills for 64 per cent of this amount, in round numbers $1,109,000,000; while during 18 years under the control of the Republican party, but 36 per cent, in round numbers $621,000,000, were disbursed, or a net ratio of nearly 200 per cent in favor of the Democratic party. Soldiers of the republic, does this show the Democratic party has been ungenerous to the heroic men who saved the flag from tarnish or to their dependents? Wherein have Democratic administrations been inimical to the pensioners of the hation? Partisan Republicans in their carping criticisms strive for political effect solely. How plain a tale will put the prevaricator down? WHAT POPULISM MEANS. A TAX OF FIFTY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE PEOPLE. Equivalent to a Tax of S7OO on Each Man, Woman and Child In the Land. The Record of Really Inaane Extravagance Made by the Populists In Cougren*. When the McKinley congress went into office Corporal Tanner remarked • ‘God help the surplus.” That surplus, as everyone knows, was. quickly dissipated and hundreds of millions of dollars appropriated ahead out of revenues to be collected in after years. But even the reckless extravagance of the McKinley congress was but a drop in the bucket to what the country would have to face if the Populists were to be placed in power. Judging by the bills already introduced in congress by the Populist members all the property of the country would be required to pay the taxes made necessary by the first session’s appropriations of a Populist congress. Just look at the appropriations which the Populists would make and figure ont if you can where the money -would come from to meet them: ■„ - Representative Davis’ bill to make loans th mortgage debtors and appropriate...Blo,ooo,ooo,ooo (Senator Petter has a similar bill). Representative Clover’s bill to loan to states 50 per cent of the assessed Valuation of property would appropriate 12,000,000,000 Representative Clover’ municipal loan bill would appropriate .... 10,000,000,000 Representative kern’s banking bill would appropriate 1,090,000,000 Representative Hudson’s bill would appropriate. 1,500,000,000 i Representative Dtivis’ industrial army bill would'appropriate.. 500,000,000 Senator Petter’s charity bill would appropriate 6,800,000 Representative Hoen’s internal improvement bill would appropriate, lieside annual approprjations’. 500,000,000 Representative Boen’s bill to exterminate the Russian thistle would appropriate... 1,000,000 Senator Petter’s rainwater bill would appropriate. 20,000,000 Senator Peffer’s resolution fpr government ownership of mines, railroads, telegraph, etc., > or" ld . .T. I .^. 1 ?... 0 . 0 15,000,000,000 Grand tot a1.......... -850,507,800,000 Even this enormous sum does not include the amounts which it would be necessary to raise for the administration of these measures, in salaries,etc., which would amount to hundreds of millions morel These bills would put a tax of more than S7OO upon every man, woman and child in the United States. At that rate a Populist government would be a very expensive luxury indeed. As there is but about $10,100,000,000 of money in the world, it would be interesting to know where the balance yvould come from to meet these appropriations. THE SECRET OF IT. Why Railroad Attorney Fairbanks Want* a Legislative Change. Charles W. Fairbanks, the railroad attorney of Indianapolis, is wandering up and down the good state of Indiana telling the voters who will consent to listen to him tlyit the Democratic legislatures have been extravagant, just because they have employed a full force of doorkeepers. But Mr. Fairbanks neglects to tell them of the tenfold greater expenditures made by the last Republican legislature of Indiana for pocketknives, stationery, books, etc., which were carried off by the Republican members of the legislature. Tito real “tough little worm in his little inside” which most agitates the railroad attorney who aspires to rattle around in the seat that has boon filled by Morton and McDonald and Hendricks and Voorhees, is the Indiana tax law. That law compels the railroads—from manipulating which Mr. Fairbanks has accumulated his millions, and from which his princely income is chiefly derived— to bear their just share of the taxes. The Republican party is pledged to repeal that law if it returns to power in the legislature. It is that “infamous I law,” as the Jt publican platform calls it. which worries Mr. Fairbanks . Ini s lavy-has already compel led the railroads of Indiana to pay in taxes over $7,000,090, and that much of a load has been lifted from the shoulders of the taxpayers of the state. Mr. Fairbanks would Very much like to be a United States senator. But he would very much better like to. have the., tax law repeated. ' • ■ ' - . »
