tied 1t forever. The edict has gone forth
that man Ia capable 10 govern himself.
E4 TIE PENSIONS. l
The debt Of gratitude due old soldiers
Is not measurable. It Is difficult 10
frame any system to meet every case,
but no Nation the world over has done
as much or as willingly for old soldiers
as the United States. At the start the
benefits paid old soldiers was based on
the fact that the disability was incurred
In the service, but 1t was found that
many deserving men were unable 10
prove their disability was incurred In
tue service. and In my opinion Congress
VIII soon frame a law covering all such
cases on the ground that they are no,
compelled TO have good hospital records,
but because OF their service and disa.
bility. Hospitals have nothing TO do
with most cases. Many soldiers in.
Cured disabilities who were never in a
hospital at all. My policy, said Com
missioner Raam, Is that where man
proves that be passed through service,
whether he has hospital record or
not, he shall DO taken care Of,
He said he had lately informed
Congress that statistics show that dis.
abled soldiers are dying twice as fast as
men who saw no service. These men
last at least twelve years OF the natural
expectation Of life. No compensation
can ever be made these men who left
wives, mothers and families to do and
die for country. This is one theme 1
love TO dwell upon. These men went
out, not for the paltry Sl3 per month.
not for pensions, but inspired by the
loftiest emotion that ever animated any
men. ! know this. No spirit OF con.
quest or aggression inspired them, but
that high and patriotic motive, the de-
sire to save their country. They made
the greatest sacrifice that can be made,
and what have they gained? Look at
our great Nation. Her resources are
truly wonderful; everything required to
make our people great and lofty. We
have solved the problem OF self govern.
ment and in doing 80 have preserved
peace and the reign OF law. There is no
excuse to disobey our laws. All the old
soldiers want is for every citizen to obey
our laws, and they do the best they can
for themselves. In 1860 a portion OF the
Union said If Lincoln is elected we will |
rebel.

The people took the bit in their teeth
and elected him. The great body OF
people acquiesced, but a majoritylap.
pealed to arms and lost. All that the
old soldiers want is honest government,
and that the men who arc beaten ut the
polls will acquiesce like men. [Cheers.

Al! ] want is honest elections. No sys.
tenn can stand if based on dishonesty.
all old soldiers have u right to stand up
and say, let every fellow be registered
and vote like man. We have a perfect
right to appeal to the old soldie,s to sec
that We have honest government. The
prospects are brighter, if honesty pre-
walls, than ever before. The old soldiers
have day yeti the world. They have
not yet come to the jumping of place.
We have done good, and let US do more.
Let Us jnculcate into the rising genera
ton that We fought for the preservation
Of the Union and to turn our backs on
the other thing.
The speaker then referred to the un-
yelling Of the Lee monument and said:
II don't care what they do. They rep.
resent lost cause that is bound to be
pushed aside as back number; but
the cause that made US free and great
Nation, that is the cause that will grow
greater and greater every day. This
cause will rise and stand out like Pixies
Peak from the surrounding country. 1t
will be pointed out rs the great cause
that our foreiathers fought for. Chill
dren and grandchildren will get out the
record and proudly point to the fact that
their father and grand-fathers fought
with Kelly. Throw aside the thought
Of pensions and preserve tho grand idea
that we fought to preserve union and
