THE SOLDIERS PENSION Bill.
Mr. NICHOLS (opp) Of Ohio wished to put on record hs
protest against the passage Of the bill pensionng the SOL
ders Of the war Of 1872 Should il become law would
entail upon the country. It was for the benefit
Of mere dependents the gratuiy of the government
the expense of the industrial classes The revolutionary
pension system furnished precedent for that now
posed Provision already exists for those disabled
public service The idea Of pensionng for patriotism
was not accordance with institutions. For reply
to the argument that such pensions would stimulate
spirit Of patriotism and provide against the contingency
Of large standing army Mr. Nichols said the young men
who rallied TO our standard In the Mexican had no
stimulus Of that kind Patriotism does not need culture;
overfows in every American heart. According his
calculation nearly thirteen millions Of dollars required
annually 70 carry out the provisions Of the bill pert-
Mr. Frsios, (opp) Of N Y, said we did not pension
those who entered the service OF 1912 and the later

stitute he offered to the Soldiers bill intended TO
remedy the injustice TO this class VI and carry
out tho contract made with them. II the bill had en-
bodied only those who are dependent and in want, he
would have cordially supported and attached his subs

made for iu indemnity for ali wrongs II Spain refuse
this, our Minister should demand his passports and return
home and the government should send squadron and
security for the future. Our self respec demands such
course, and. he lattered himself this would

that France and England opposed to the Of
our territory. We want more action and less debate,
mperious and unaterabe necessity for acquisition Of
Cuba why should there be longer delay Let us offer
Spain FAIR nay, exorbitant price for the island. If
