DEMOCRATS AND PENSIONS.

Toledo Blade.
The drafted Mems Bill' passed by
the New York Democratic Legislature,
and signed by Gov. Flower, therefore
now a law, is significant exponent of
the Democratic idea of pensions. 1t be-
came necessary, it will be remembered,
in the war of the rebellion, to draft a
great many men who otherwise refused
to go. 1t was optional with these drafted
men to go to the front themselves or
hire substitute. In many cases they
took the latter alternative, and like
Grover Cleveland, hired a man to be
shot at in their place.
This was about the poorest class of
soldiers, and looked upon by the volun-
teer, who of his own free will and accord,
went to the front to defend his nations
flag, as a blacksheep in the great army
of bluecoats. At the closing of the war
these drafted men organized in strong
bodies for the purpose of obtaining, as
they said, pensions, and the returnof
the money which they had paid to sub
stitutes.
By it Grover Cleveland will receive
the $500 he was to have paid to the
substitute who fought for him during
the war, and the stay -at-homes in New
York State will receive benefits to the
amount of nearly 100000 of dollars.
This is part of the shameless record
of the Democracy. Whenever a bill is
passed in Congress to pension the volun-
teer, there is howl from every Cheap
John sheet of Bourbon proclivities in
the United States, but Gov Fowler is
applauded for his patriotism" by these
same papers since he signed the DRAFTED
Mems" bill.

THE COST OF PENSIONS.

New York Press.
A Democratic newspaper, with Lost
Cause sympathies. says: "The cost of
pensions alone is now more than double
the entire expense of the government
in the year before the war. Peace in
the United States is more expensive
than the front of war abroad" Well,
whose fault is it? The United States
certainly did not invite the attempted
secession which led to war and to pen
sions. The responsibility must rest on
those, now as then constituting the
strength of the Democratic party, who
determined to ruin when they found
they could not rule the Union. Every
attack on the pension list brings to mind,
inevitably the treason that made pen
sion list necessary.

LET all Republicans remember that il
the Democrats win this fall they will
undoubtedly get control of every de-
partment of the Government and have
full swing. The four years Cleveland
spent in the White House, handicapped
by Republican Senate, will be as sin
nocuous desuetude" itself compared to
the exploits of the Democracy when in
full power and free to let themselves
loose. Owing to the peculiar situation,
the Democrats, if they win this fall, will
probably carry everything with them.
They have not had such a chance since
the war, and they are getting ready for
such fight as is not often seen. If
there ever will be a come Republicans
to sulk or lose Oh VINO xkway their
votes it is not this year.

difference? Because of the Mckinley
