McKaig. Free Trade and Pensions
Under the above caption the Demo-
crat last week undertook the Hercu-
lean task of sitting the Democratic
candidate right before its readers.
The allegation it makes al to Nc
Kaig's views upon these questions
would be perfectly legitimate and
proper, were they facts as stated by
the Democrat.
We are surprised that our contem-
porary should 80 far forget the record
of its party as to say that democrats
are in favor of honest and liberal pen
sion laws"
Don't the Democrat know that its
party had the opportunity not only
offered but thrust upon it during the
session of Congress just closed to vote
for just and liberal pension law,
and that it's vote was recorded against
the measure? Don't the democrat
know that every effort in the past
made by the Republicans to properly
recognize the claims of those who
offered their lives in defense of the
government had been met by will
full, determined. violent and relent-
less Democratic opposition? Don't
the Democrat know that it was but
natural that this opposition should
manifest itself? Don't the Democrat
know that Cleveland took an especial
delight in vetoing pension bills
intended to relieve the sufferings, the
woes, the hunger, the starvation of
helpless widows and orphans?
We believe the Democrat does
know these things-and believing
this we arraign the Democrat before
the bar of public opinion to receive
the condemnation of honest men of
all parties for its attempt to foist upon
them the assertion that Democrats
are In favor of "honest and liberal
pension laws"
1t is stated upon excellent author
ity that McKaig, during the trial of
a case in the Orphans Court for AL
legany County, only few weeks
ago, said that he "took no stock in
pensions" He did not probably at
that time think that he would so soon
be called upon to define his position
