Democratic Sentinel, Volume 10, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 August 1886 — Speaker Carlisle. [ARTICLE]

Speaker Carlisle.

■ Speaker Carlisle said in an interview the other day that he thought the time not far off when public sentiment would compel Cougress to reduce the tariff. The Speaker said that he had no doubt that the next House of Representatives would be Democratic. The tariff would be the leading issue in the campaign. Mr. Carlisle denied the report that there are feelings of jealousy and hostility existing between himself and the President, and that he (Carlisle) i« engaged, with others, in a conspiracy to thwart the administration. Soldiers who entered the war whe.’* it begun, who did not go for a bounty and who served on insufficient pay, aud who suffered through years, should be pensioned whenever it can be proven they have received injury; but to tax people who have b mkrupied themselves in raising bounties for men who served but a few months or not at all, and upon such frivolous claims as the President has recently vetoed, is a double outrage. The President just now is exposing a shameless degree of demagogy that will be met with gratitude by every honest soldier and honest pension claimant, who is being dragged into disgrace by the thieveries the bounty jumpers are attempting.- -Indianapolis Sentinel.
