WHICH SHALL BET

Either Benjamin Harrison or Grover
Cleveland will be the next President Of the
United States. The veterans will decide
with their votes which it shall be- If they
all vote for Harrison he will be the man A
vote for Weaver will be worse than thrown
away, for it may, aud probably viii, help
Grover Cleveland more than a vote cast
directly for him.
The main hope of the Cleveland men is to
divide the veteran vote in the Western
States, and next to Cleveland get az many
as possible for Weaver. They hope in this
way to prevent Harrison having . majority
in the Electoral College, when the election
will be thrown into the present House Of
Representatives, which is made up of So
Republicans, 235 Democrats, and 9 Peoples
Party. The Democrats have a majority OF
167.
When the election is thrown into the
House each State has one vote, the way it is
cast being determined By the majority Of
the Representatives from the State. Under
this rule Cleveland would receive the votes
of Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and
Wisconsin; total, 80.
Harrison would receive the votes of CALI
fornia, Colorado Idaho, Maine, Nevada,
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Vermont Washington, and wyom-
| ing; total, II.
Weaver would receive the votes Of Kan
sas and Nebraska.
| 1t is therefore easy to see why the Demo-
Gratis are anxious that there should be no
election by the people, but that the present
| House of Representatives should choose ths
President.

A SPECIMEN APPOINTMENT.

One of the Characteristic appointments of
Grover Cleveland was that of the malignant
Copperhead, VIM. A. j. Sparks, as Commits
sioner of the General Land Office. Before
him came all the applications of the tens of
thousands of veterans who had taken up
Western homesteads. He displayed toward
them the same spirit that his boss did in
regard to pensions. He acted as if every
old soldier who tried to establish claim for
his little farm was scoundrel, whom it was
his duty to battle and circumvent at all
hazards The history of his administration
was one long story of insults, wrongs, and
injuries to the homesteader veterans who
were laboring to make what was known as
the "Great American Desert" blossom as
the rose with happy homes and well-tilled
farms. All over that country his name was
execrated as never before was that of any
official in his or similar position.
Comrades, do you want such men again in
office?
Certainly not.

PICTURES By TK0s. MAST.
A New and Attractive Feature for
the Readers of The National
Tribune.

The fame of Thos Mast is worldwide
10 artist in his line ever built up such
reputation. Wherever the English language
liz spoken his matches cartoons have been
studied, praised, laughed over, sworn at and
carried convictions by their trenchant hits.
he first came into notice BY his vivid
pictures of the Heenan-sayers fight.
Next he was in Italy with Carl
baldi, making pictures of the war for
Italian liberstion and unity for the London
and New York newspapers Then he was
ut the front during our war making vivid
sketches of the stirring scenes for Hdrper's
Weekly. Among the notable pictures made
by him then were Santa Claus in Camp
christmas Eve" (1s63), New Years Day
North and South" (lse4), President Lin
coin Entering Richmond"
Next he was On The side of Justice and
good government in the great struggle
against Tammany, snd no one doubts that
his wonderful cartoons were the chief in
strument in the overthrow of Boss Tweed.
These gave him a reputation which no other
artist has ever yet approached.
We have made our arrangement with Mr..
Mast by which he will supply series of
war pictures for The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
based upon his long experience and observa-
ton at the front during the rebellion. He
had opportunities for actual studies of the
war, such as no living artist of his talents
had, and his pictures viii be delight TO
our readers. They alone will be worth far
more 10 every reader than the subscription
price of the paper

DURING the whole Of Cleveland's Admin
istration he had his pet National banks en-
riching themselves on the peoples money
loaned to them without interest, to loan
to the people at high rates of interest.
Money that should have been distributed
In pensions was being loaned out
to the people at from per cent. per
annum to 8 per cent. month in Kansas
and other Western States. At ono time
these pet banks had s62,Oo0,o0o of the
peoples money in their hands, and were
drawing millions of dollars year from the
people for the use of their own money
This was only one of the iniquities OF Cleye-

SOME ELOQUENT FIGURES.

SomE ELOQUENT FlSUhF1Ss
Statistics of the Pension Bureau speak
most eloquently of the difference IN the
treatment of the veterans of the country by
Cleveland and Harrison. Cleveland entered
Office March 4, 1885, and left it March 4,
1889. The Commissioner of Pensions reports
for the period give these facts:
Number OF pensions roll June co. 1857, 3'5i25
"a I" f" :" 1852. Asa, 125
Net increase IN these four years....-.... liioso
Harrison entered Office March q, 1889, and
has now been in Office over three years.
The Pension Bureaus statistics for the same
period show: laA
Number of pensioners on roll June go 1850. 4so,5s5
"a 1897 sT6 60i
Net increase In these three years"......'. 3s7's'9
That is, there have been 1929 more
pensions allowed under Harrison in three
years than there were under Cleveland in
four.
The average increase of all allowances per
year from 1885 to 1889, under Cleveland,
was 36, $50; while the increase per year from
1889 to 1892 under Harrison was 12S,959 or
more than three times as many.
Even this is more favorable to Cleveland
than it should be, for he receives credit for
24,030 allowances under the Mexican War
Pension Law, which required only the
smallest and least rigorous examination.
Eliminating these from his record, it leaves
balance in his favor of 120,570 pension
allowances during his four years of office.
Eliminating $500 Mexican allowances from
Harrison's account leaves still to his credit
3S3,079 allowances during his three years Of
Office, or 262, 500 more than Clevelands total
number for four years, or gain per year Of
S7,5O3.
Perhaps it will help to comprehend the
enormous disparity between Cleveland's AID
Harrison's pension records to compare three
years of both Administrations:
UNDER CLEVELAND.
Number on rolls June 80. 1sse........... 365. 7ss
I" lSS9............. 45J, ~
IDereese In three lZo "a.
UNDER HARRISON.
Number rolls June 80. 49, ";
Z" 1892. 5000
Increase In three years. 355Si'
This shows that in three years undel
Harrison more than three times as many
pensions were allowed as in three years
under Cleveland.
The total number Of pensioners on the rol
July 81, 1892, ,oas $50, 926.
These are figures to show any man wht
says that veterans should vote for Cleve
land.
Comrades, is there any doubt who should
occupy the White House for the next foul
years? We do not see that there can be.

ABSURD CALAMITY-HowLING.

"The country is going to destruction on
ments," say the soldier-haters.
These bilious owners of soured hearts and
jaundiced livers have always had the coun-
try speeding down the creased slide to GER
tain ruin, on some account or another.
Will expanding S135, 100000 a year on
pensions hurt country of 65, 100000 of peo-
pie and over OOC,oOO,OoO of wealth?
Which every day in the year spends
81, 100000 on horse-racing? Whose citizens
pay from $4,000 to 100000 for single
horse?
Which pays out hundreds Of millions
every year for theaters, circuses, and base
ball?
Which squanders over tuo billion dollars
year for wines, brandies, whisky and gin?
Whose people drink every year 100000
gallons of domestic spirits, 100000 gallons
of costly imported brandy, gin, etc; $751;
100000 gallons of domestic beer and ale,
100000 gallons of foreign brews, 100000
gallons of native wines, and 100000 gal
Ions of the expensive products of the Ger
man, French, Spanish, and Italian vine
yards?
Whose people smoke 4,250,OO0,0O0 cigars,
$500, 900 900 cigarets, and smoke and chew
$4,000 600 pounds Of tobacco?
Is country which every year spends
thousands of millions for these Iuxuries and
non-necessities to be hurt by spending a
hundred millions or SO in payment of the
country's debts to her saviors, every dollar
of which remains at home in circulation
among our own people?

srUDY THESE FIGURES.

STUDY THESE FIGURES.
Has the country been paying lavishly for
the services rendered by her sons in saving
the existence of the Governments
There is no answer to this question so con-
vincing as presentation of the official fig
ures bearing on the matter.
The reports of the Commissioners of PEN
sions show that there have been paid out for
pensions
From July 1860, to July i, 1891. 81 27 6l. 26s07
During fiscal year ended june co.
1872. l39, ioosoEA
Total for 81 years 81, iii. AZ 25o3l
The report of the Adjutant- General of the
United States Army shows that the total
number of enlistments during the war was
ATS, 3o4
Reduced to three years standard the
aggregate enlistments were 2,52O,369.
The Commissioners of Pensions reports
show that the aggregate number of claims
| allowed from July, 1861, to July, 1892, was
1928, 1888.
Now, let us analyze these figures little:
If we divide the total amount of pensions
paid-$1, 416, 417,25031-by the total num-
Der of tie, 3O4-we find that
there has been paid for each enlistment in
the 81 years since 1861, total of $500. 81, OF
S16.44 year, or $1.37 month.
1t hardly seems as if such payment as
this should threaten the country with dan
| gerous enlargement of the heart
Again:
| The number of enlistments reduced to q
three-years' basis was 2,32O,369 Dividing
with this the total amount paid for pensions,
| we find that the country has, in 81 years,
paid in pensions for every man who served
three gears, only $610.43; OR $1,000 a year,
| $164 month!
implorng men to hurry to Washington to
save the Capital from capture and destruc-
|
delphia, Louisville, Cincinnati, and st. Louis
from spoliation by the robber myrmidons of
Lee, Bragg, and Sterling Price; in 1853 4,
to fill up the ranks shattered by the awful
fighting of the previous years, it had been
foreseen that this would involve payment
for some time of S164 month for all who
enlisted, it would have been thought that
the country was getting men mighty cheap
~. The scared property and bond-holders
would have said: "What! give them S1.64
. month during the rest of their lives?
Don't haggle minute over such paltry
suml Promise them enough to support
themselves in comfort as long as they live,
if they will only go out and drive these
rebels backl"
| Still another analysis:
The 81 416, 417,250.31 which has been paid
to those who were MANNED in battle or
ruined in health, OF to the widows, orphans,
and dependent parents of the dead, has been
distributed among 1928 persons. This
would make the average payment to each In
81 years 81 ,069. 86, or S34.51 year, or $2.s8 a
month
Again we say the country got off marvel
ously cheap. Who that saw the terrible
slaughter and the mangling of the war-the
unprecedented hardships and exposures
would have thought that the Nation would
| discharge its Indebtedness to those who had
| borne the "heat and burden of the strife
and their widows and orphans" with beg
carly payment of an average pension Of
$3.50 to those who suffered in the strife?
Comrades, get your retoes ready.

can control fully as many more. The
