SPEAKING Of the stale argument
made use of by democrats in defense
of Cleveland's prediction to veto PEN
sion bills, that he has signed more than
any republican president has, the Fort
Scott Monitor has the following in an
sWer to Judge Martin. 1t hits the nail
on the head:
MIR. Martin was also misleading IN
his statements regarding the yetoing
of special pension bills. He correctly
states that Mr.. Cleveland has signed
more such laws than all his republican
predecessors. yet he failed TO state that
the main reason was because demo-
cratic house would not pass such bills
under a republican president, and con-
seQuently did not have the opportunity
to sign more than they did. Further,
Mr. Martin failed to state that while
General Grant approved 575 such pen
sion bills he only diSapprOved three;
Hayes approved 633, disapprOved none;
Arthur approved 1856. disapproved
none; Mr.. Cleveland has already vetoed
and returned Ill bills, disapprovlng
without returning 156 more, and pock-
eted and defeated one. Or he has dis
approved nearly one out of every three
such bills that came before HIM, while
the republican presidents vetoed ana
disapproYed only one out of every 335
This makes considerable difference
with the way in which the soldiers
view the PRESIDENT acts.

Il HAVE always been a democrat in

Detroit Journal reporter, ,'but when
the two great parties divide on the
question of continuing a protective pol
icy, which has built up the country

constrained to cast my vote for the
party that stands up for America and

THE Mills bill reduces the duty on
salt 100 per cent and the duty on SUI
gar ii per cent. Is this
in the interest of the con-
sumer? The cost of sugar for one
week would supply the average family
with salt for year. Then why not
make tbs heavy reduction on the arti-
Gle that the people use most of? Be
cause salt is Northern product and
sugar is made in the South, and the
South runs the Democratic party in it's
own interest and fashioned the Mills
bill to suit itself.

Perhaps the greatest alteration laid
down in the entire range in the new
tariff is that which places tin plates on

duty OF one cent per pound, or about
"a lbs Id per ton. This change will be-
certain to administer "A notable stimu-
