En- commissioner OF PENSIONS Dup
LEY is again up to his old tricks of try
ing to control the soldier vote
for the republican ticket through
the medium of pensions. That is
his one stock in Trade and he
does not hesitate to employ any methods,
however questionable, to gain that end.
At the present time he is engaged in
writing to soldiers who have been pens
stoned by the democratic administration,
informing them that they are entitled to
more than they receive. This charge
comes 10 poor grace from Dudley, whose
manipulation of the pension bureau was
solely in the interest of his party, an
applicants claim being Judged to great
extent AS to his political loyalty. The
Indianapolis Sentinel has received let
ter from a pensioner who has been given
relief by Gen Black, which ex-
poses Dudley's scheme and shows him to
be nothing but m INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clan:

teen years to get pension, but could

Prof. A. l.. Perry, of Williams college,
once said. The late President Garfield
said with his own lips to the present wri.
ter, that when he was member of the
ways and means committee, every person
who came before that committee to get
protective taxes put on or increased. came
in the barest selfshness, without a
thought or care except to get higher
prices for his own wares from his own
countrymen Favorable circumstances
enabled combination of capitalists to
get hold of the long arm of the national
government in 1861, and to use it then
and thereafter for their own enrichment
at the constant AMI enormous expense of
their fellow citizens"
This remark confirms what the "theo>
rists' have been saying. There is no in
telligent effort on the part of congress to
frame these laws in the interest of the
public The Pittsburg monopolists say
Give US so much tariff on our manufac-
lures and We will give you the electoral
vote of Pennsylvania and put enough
money in the campaign fund to enable
you to buy the doubtful votes in the
close states"
This is the way the Dorsey money was
raised in 1880 Aud in 1884 Mr.. Jones
of Pittsburg. was selected as chairman OF
the national committee because he hat
been made rich by the tariff, and haC
agreed to use a portion of his plumber Il
buy votes for Blaine and protection. II
