Fifth. To the foregoing proposition
in the interest of the farmer / would
add a liberal policy Of pensions and a
full and generous recognition of those
who served their country in the hour
of peril. Money paid in pensions to
the soldiers is not only a benefit and
blessing TO him and those who are
dear to him, but also to the produce
dealer, the merchant, and to all with
ip the range of its circulation But
for the large sums which for years
have been disbursed by the Pension
Office and thus reached nearly every
ineighborhood in theUnited States and
gone into general circulation the pres.
ent financial crisis amongst the farm
ers and laborers would have come at
an earlier day. AS q beneficial meas.
ure, therefore, to all, as well as a dnty
of the most sacred character, the sol>
dier should be paid by his Govern
ment as one who was willing to die
for his Government. On that lofty
basis his equities are without limit,
and justice should at all times stand
ready to enforce them. "' D'D''

Thomas Jefferson, more than a
hundred years ago, laid the hand of
reform on the laws of primogeniture,
the laws of entail, and the union of
church and state, and as a conse.
quence was painted as a JacObin and
atheist, an enemy to God and man,
by the orders of privileged society,
and by the same powerful classes
which afterwards so fiercely sought
the destruction Of the great British
statesman and reformer. No one
need suppose that the same rule will
not prevail now. The tariff reform
ers Of the United States in the present
crisis will encounter hostility filled
with all the wickedness, corruption
and malevolence which more than
$500, 10000 year as clear robbery
from the people, and clear bonus ia
protect monopoly, can inspire.
All that money can do to subsidizt
the press and fill its columns with
false arguments, false statements anC
false accusations against tariff reform
and tariff reformers will be done; al
