Where Republicanism Grows.

In 1884 the States of the North and
the border States of Delaware, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Missouri, Tennes-
see, Virginia and West Virginia gave
Blaine a plurality of 302, 139 of the
popular vote.
On November these same States
gave Harrison a plurality of 377, Al,
a gain of H. ,302 votes in that section,
in which alone reasonably free vote
and fair count can be relied upon, and
a majority of nearly 1000 over all.
Besides this, during the past four
years the Republican party has suf-
fered a loss of $4,000 votes in these
States by emigration to the Terrific
ries, where they are not yet counted,
but soon will be.
The States of the North and the
border States, with more of the
former soon to be admitted in the
Northwest, contain the elements and
forces. political. commercial, indus
trial and moral, that are bound to rule
this country. 1t is gratifying, there
fore, to see in that section. If it must
80 be called, marked growth of Re-
publican strength.-Cleveland Leader.

THE PENSION QUESTION.
A Debt Honestly Due to the Brave Mer

Who Saved the Union.
A bill has been introduced into Con-
gress and referred giving to every SOL
der of the war now living, and who
has passed the age of fifty years, a
/ pension of $12 per month. The pass
age of this bill would be tardy justice,
but it would still be justice. A very
large proportion of the men now liv-
ing who fought for the cause of the
Union are not rich At the formative
time of life. the period when men were
selecting and entering into the active
prosecution of smployments which
we're to be their life work, they were
called away by the urgent needs of the
times. For four years they were en-
gagged in the demoralizing employ
fering from the exposure which such
employment renders necessary. The
close of the struggle found them with
out employment, many of them suf-
fering from wounds and disease; and
all more or less untitled to enter into
competition with those who had re-
manned at home and prosecuted legiti-
mate callings. They had been paid
S11 and S13 pa- month, in a currency
which had deprecated to an extent
that at one time made their pay only
little more than 81 in honest money.
The promises made to them to induce
enlistment were profuse and sweeping,
and practically none of them have
been carried out. As time wore on
the singular injustice and ingratitude
shown to them embittered their lives
Laws pretending to grant pensions were
placed upon the statute books, but
most of these acts paid a premium on
perjury and offered reward for ras-
cality. Veterans were compelled to
make affidavits for themselves or their
comrades as to the existence of facts
ten or twenty years before, which they
might recall in a certain shadowy
fashion, but could hardly be sure of,
until finally every honest old soldier
with feeling for the partners of his
former toll adopted the rule, ''give the |
comrade the benefit of the doubt" and |
was ready to swear recklessly so that |
simple justice might be done to one
more of the old-time friends.
The plan adopted by Congress was
simply monstrous. Ii it had been con-
trived in the interest of carelessness
and dishonesty the scheme could not
have been better devised. But the
better rule is embodied in the bill in
troduced at the present session. Give

A PROTECTION vISToRY.
One of the Most Gratifying Phases o
American Politics.

One OF the Most Gratifying Phases of
American Politics.
The utter incapacity of the Demo-
cratic party to learn the lessons of ex-
perience and obey the will of the
people is we'll illustrated in the matter
of the surplus. The Forty-eighth Con-
gress. which met in December, 1888,
had 7S Democratic majority in the
House. There was then surplus in
the Treasury, and the question how to
prevent its further accumulation was
before that body. The Ways and
Means Committee, through its chair
man, William R Morrison, reported
his famous horizontal reduction" bill.
The party lash was applied, but the
bill failed on May 6, 1884, by four
votes.
That put the question of revenue re-
duction before the country. The di-
vision was on the method, not as to
the propriety and necessity of the re-
ductiOn. Morrison's method was by
cutting down the tariff so as to injure
the protective principle as much as
possible The Forty-ninth Congress
showed reduction of the Democratic
majority in the House from 78 to 43.
This should have been warning enough
that the people would not allow the
protective principle to be meddled
with. But the Democratic leaders.
like true Bourbons, could learn moth
ing. The second Morrison bill was re-
ported to the House, and on June II,
1886, that body refused to consider it
by II majority. e.
Again the old question went to the
people, in the fall of 1886. The issue
was more clearly defined in the minds
of the voters. They saw that the Dem
ocratic leaders were endeavoring to
use the fact of excessive revenue to
carry legislation favoring free trade.
But thousands upon thousands of DEM
ocrats voted with their party because
they construed its ambiguous tariff
plank in the National platform of 1884
as protective in principle. But the
Democratic majority in the House of
the Fiftieth Congress went down from
43 to II, and Morrison being defeated
for reelection, Mills was appointed to
the craftsmanship that he had held.
Then came Cleveland's free-trade
message, and the Mills bill, in which
Cleveland himself took hand, was re-
ported to the House. While it was
being debated the Democratic Ma
tional convention indorsed Clevelands
message and that bill, and renomi-
mated Cleveland. Then the whole
force of the Executive was brought to
bear on the House, and the bill passed
that body July 21, 1888, by IS majority.
The question again went to the coun-
try. The old pretense that the Demo
Gratis did not mean free trade was
kept up, but the people had Their eyes
open. The house of the Fifty-irst
Congress is Republican, the next Pres
ident is Republican. The lesson is
one that should be plain, even to a
Democrat The people will not have
protection disturbed, and expect the
revenues reduced without at the same
time dealing a deadly blow at our in
dustries Toledo Blade.
