DETROIT, Mich, Dot. S.--Mr. Blaine
was given On enthusiastic greeting here
tonight. The rink, with Its capacity of
5000, was crowded, and as many more
people were turned away. General Alger
was chairman of the meeting,
Mr.. Blaine opsned his speech with
reference to the immense power in legis.
lation conferred upon tho President of
the United states by means Of the veto,
equal TO one-slxth Of tho whole power of
Congress, and then sketched. the care
with which il had been exercised during
the early administrations of the govern
ment, Washington using it but twice
Madison, three times; Monroe, one 9, and
John Adams, Jefferson, and John Quincy
Adams, never. In the next 40 years tho
veto power was used go times, and of
these over 80 were vetoes by Democratic
Presidents. President Cleveland had
used the veto over 500 times. or these,
said Mr.. Blaine, there have been used 206
to prevent pitiful pension Of "a or So
month, a few OF $12 month to worn
down and starving soldiers. And he 10
the first President Of the United States
that ever vetoed bill for the relief Of
soldier that had offered his body to the
cannon shot and shell Of the enemy OF his
country.
Mr. Blaine then took up the question
OF the surplus. He said:
The President and his secretary OF tho
treasury have ameliorated the danger OF the
surplus by giving more than S60,0O0,000 OF
1t as a loan without interest to some ma
all
and this day and hour your money and
mine and tbs money OF every citizen Of the
United States to the amount Of more than
480,000,00U Is loaned without q cent Of
interest to certain national banks 10 this
country, and, l contend although have
not time at present to go iuto that sutisct),
without shadow OF substantial right under
the law. Allowing that interest to be at rho
rate of 8 per cent, there Ia $4,000, coo
gratuity given away by tho President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury In single
year.
When there was danger last year aud the
year before OF stringeney in the money
market and too htsle circulation, there was
q movement made IL Congress to allow the
national banks to olreniate on the bonds
they have deposited up to par instead OF
being confined to 80 per cent, as they are
now by law. On every 80 600 of Govern.
ment bonds, es you all know. the bank only
etrculetes $4,000 OF bills. The Democrats
defeated the proposition, and yet In this
gratuitous distribution Of oysr S6o.000,009
President Cleveland and Secretary Fair
child have allowed 1l0to the national banks
instead OF 90. That Is, II any ono OF the psf
banks brings $4,000 OF government bonds
TO the Treasury the bank will get sll, 900 In
money,
Mr.. Blaine declared that it Republi-
can Secretary of the Treasury had at
