Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1888-01-05

~ The people in general and veteran
soldiers in particular have certainly nc
reason to find fault with Democratic manage
ment Of the Pension Once. More money
has been disbursed for pension purposes and
Il has been disbursed more economically
than under any previous administration Of
the department. Last year the Treasury
paid out nearly $75,000,0OO on pension ae-
count. There were at the close of the fiscal
year 406, 900 pensioners, nearly 5000 Of
whom were added during the year. The
estimates for the next fiscal year amount to
6,300,OOO. In 1884, under the Republican
regime, the disbursements were S57, ,102, ,s95;
the expenses s296,49O, or S519 per $1,000.
Last year the disbursements were S7S, ,440, ,03S;
the expenses but &24s,2sO, or $4,000 less
than it cost in 1884 to disburse $16 1895, ,0O0less
money. The cost per $1,000 was only $3.Ss,
reduction in expense of nearly 35 per cent.
over the last year of Republican administra-
tion. The original certificates issued ag-
gregated 1914, number unprecedented in
any single year, and for the FIRST four months
of the present fiscal year the increase has
been 6,873 in excess of the corresponding
period last year. This record speaks for
itself. The veteran soldiers especially have
reason to rejoice over the fact that there is
neither waste nor inefficiency in the handl-
ing of the millions reserved for their benefit.

:y- Bro. Smith, of the Wauseon Tribune
invariably stands ready to advise the Demo.
Gratis of Little Henry. 1t looks little
cheeky, but coming from such hide-bound
Republican source, surprises no one and
falls harmless. But why this great interest
in the welfare of the Democratic party OF
Henry county, Bro. Smith? Would it not
look better for you to show little interest in
the welfare of your own Republican party in
Fulton county, which has become so corrupt
that the people, Notwithstanding the Repub-
lican majority in the county is some 1900, have
put Democrats in at least one-half of the
country offices? Something rotten there,
sure. Pull the beam out of your own eye,
Bro. Smith, before you attempt to eradicate
the mote which your vivid imagination
places in the eye of you neighbor.

~ Through the kindness and hberality of
Democrats, Foraker got his message read to
the Legislature on Monday. The disgruntled
Republicans were going to snub Foraker by
refusing to hear his message, but Democrats
did not join in with them. The document is
Forak erism all over and consists mostly of a
rehash of his former recommendations,
which Republican Legislature had paid no
attention to. He is still seeking the creation
of new positions, with which to award his
party cronies, at the expense of the tax
payers, and advises borrowing to relieve the
bankrupt treasury, made so by his unbusi-
ness-like and extravagant administration.
He wants the canals kept up, but the Pauld
ing reservoir must go, and the Dow law
needs little tinkering, for instance local
option extended to townships. AS Blaine
and Sherman has seen it necessary to further
their Presidential asperatians to attack and
place in false light President Cleveland and
his tax reduction message, His Snubship
follows suit and goes one better. Great is
Forakerism, but the government at Wash
ington is greater and will continue to
flourish.

sB- The competition our farmers have to
meet in the wheat markets of Europe from
India did not assume importance until the
last II years. England imported from India,
last year 100000 bushels, but this amount
is small when compared with the quantity
sent from this country. Prof. Wallace, of
Scotland, who visited India and investigated
the subject, says that the area for wheat
growing in that country has been nearly all
used, and as the home demand is large from
the population of 250.000,000, with an addi-
tion of 20,0OO,0 900 every 10years, the competi-
tion our wheat growers will have to meet
from India will not be formidable. .-Repub-
ican Er.
The low price of American wheat is not so
much caused by India competition, as from
the effects of the high protective tariff, the
results of war, but which is still in vogue in
this country after peace has been declared
for near quarter of century. 1t has
broken up our traffic upon the high seas.
Revise the tariff, build up the American
carrying power upon the high seas, and the
farmers viii get better prices for their pro-
duce.

Department PensIon nllI.

From Washington comes the news that th,
new Pension COMMITTEES Of the House, in al
probability win put in shape what is known Al
the Department Pension bill, with all the OBJ.
jectionabie features Of the veted bill left out
eliminated. The new bill viii .includs
soldiers dependent solely upon public chari.
ties. There will be a provision for CON-
potency for subsistences for ex-soIdiers who
are now confined in poor houses and other
local charitable institutions, and who are
being cared for by township officers. While
the government has provided Soldiers
Homes in different sections of the country
there are numerous instances Of ex-soldiers
having fanatics where 1t would be hard
ship 10 be sent to one Of these institutions
and separated from their relatives. The pro-
posed law, it is thought, will provide this
class of dependents with sufficient means 10
live and remain at home and near their
friends.
On the other hand, the Republicans will
urge the bill prepared by the Grand Army of
the Republic; not with any hope of it becom-
ing law. because they knew in advance that
it embraces all the Objectionable features of
the vetoed bill passed by the last Congress.
They hope, however, to make political
capital without any beneficial results to the
class of veterans mentioned.
Before the present session of Congress
cl oses dependent soldiers who are entitled to
the charities of the Government will be
enabled to see that their true friends are to
be found in the Democratic party" The bill
tn at will probably be presented by the new
pension committee will be shorn of all
political buncombe and hypocritical dema-
gogy. and remain plain, equitable PROPOSE
tion for the relief of soldiers who are unable,
under the present laws, to procure pension
by reason of disabilities incurred in the serc
vice.
The President, it is understood, is taking
much interest in this feature of legislation
and has had several conferences with Com
missioner Black, Speaker Carlisle, Chairman
Matson and other prominent members of
Congress we'll versed in pension legislation.

~ Il recommend substantial reduction
of the duties on sugar, molasses, silk, wool
and woolen goods. President Arthur's
message.
Rep ublicans called this tariff revision"
but when President Cleveland 'makes the
same recommendations he is denounced as a
frank, ignorant free trader" who is deter
mined to destroy home industries and de-
grade American labor. Nothing could more
clearly show the stupidity and dishonesty of
Republican criticisms of tariff reform as
outlined by the Presidents message.

~ Republican editors are laboring assid-
uously to create the impression that the
Democratic doctrine Of revenue reform
means free trade, consequently Democrats
are free traders. Their party feality makes
them overlook their own interests and the in
terests of the whole people, and they devote
untiring effort to deceive workingmen into
believing that revenue means lower wages
for their labor. The latter cannot be so easi-
Ily hoodwinked as they have been in the past,
and they are slowly but surely coming to the
belief that cheaper food and clothing would
| be better for them. They begin to believe as
the Irishman did; big manufacturer and
his employer said to him, "Pat, dent you
vote the Democratic ticket, # you do you
vote for free trade, and free trade means re-
duction Of workingmen's wages. Why, il
would reduce your own wages nearly one
half" "Go long wild yee's," said Pat, "if il
did, ye'd be afther yotin' for ityee'self."

~ The attitude of the Republican party
toward the people of the Southern states
is not yet an attitude of amity- The delay
of the Senate in confirming the appointment
of Secretary Lamar as Justice of the Su-

the part he took in the late civil war. Until
all the participants in that struggle shall
have been laid in their graves, it seems, we
shall not hear the last of political animosi-
ties which should have ended with the end of
the conflict that occasioned them.

that this is the way hight protective tariff

wages, and takes from him fifty cents in
