The National tribune., 1892-10-20
Representative from the Detroit Mich
District said:

Irepeat, that it ought to be known throughout
the country who it is that obstructs these claims by
not being here, and who il is that obstructs them
by being here and in word. why it is that these
claims do not receive proper consideration and
dispatch. Why, then. should we come
here. night after night and 20 through this farce
in the name of economy? As well, had almost
said might we claim that we do 1t in the name oil
the devil himself Yet we come here night after
night, and go through this farce of marching up
the hill and then marching down again. Why
should that be done with these claims of all other
claims against the Government?
These claims, which should be considered with
the utmost respect, with the utmost care, and
will add. sir, with the utmost tenderness, why
should they be treated in this way Gentlemen
who oppose these claims will sit here day after day
and see other measures passed without quorum,
and never raise their voices in opposition or OBJ
lection. Why is II? What scrutiny will be placed
upon conduct? What imputations will be cast
upon men from the North the Northwest and
other sections Of the country, when we go home
after such performances rs this which we are max
ing now? How will the absent account for their
absence? Mr.. Chairman, j will only add that any
man of any party, Oh from any section. VINO puts
himself in opposition 10 the consideration OF these
claims is making mistake-a mistake for him
sell, mistake for his party, mistake which VIII
bear bitter fruit sooner later and which WILL
evince itself by disnster.
do not desire to get warm upon this subject, but
feel deeply upon IL. 1t is matter upon which
we gentlemen of the Northern States feel deeply.
We feel just as deeply this subject as do our
friends from the South upon the Force Bill.
hope that those who are making, In my Judg-
ment, injudcious. impotic, and, what is
still worse. unjust discrimination and opposition
against these claims will bethink themselves, and
right here and now begin 10 pursue what, In my
judgment, is the right course.
We think this explains very fully why
President Harrison did not sign more private
pension bills. In the first place, the passage
of the Disability Pension Bill by the 51st
Congress took away the necessity of great
many of the bills of the character presented
to President Cleveland. In the next place
the dominant party in the House of the SD
Congress was resolutely determined that
President Harrison should have no oppor-
tunity to sign private pension bills.
The National tribune., 1892-10-20
CLEyELAND's INCONSISTENCY.

In spite Of Cleveland's continual prating
about the shortness of service of the Union
claimants for pensions, and the number of
those who never saw battle, he signed
bill giving 10000 soldiers of the Mexican
war and their widows pensions of So a
month. Yet this bill included all men
who were even on their way to
the Mexican frontier, and their widows
The average volunteer in the Mexican war
did not begin to have as much service or
see as much fighting as the average three
months man in the war of the rebellion.
There were not SO many men killed in the
whole war as On the Union side in the one
battle of Shiloh. The whole number Of
men killed and died Of wounds was / 1,557,
while Grants little army lost over 1,70O
killed at Shiloh.
OF The 1857 killed in Mexico the 27,506
Regulars lost s3B and the $4,000 Volunteers
sic. The quotas of whole States did not
lose a man There was not man killed or
wounded in all those sent from Alabama,
California, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New jersey, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, or Wisconsin. Georgia lost but six
killed, Arkansas 10.
The longest service was but one year, and
only a portion served this. Mr.. Cleveland
had no qualms about giving these pensions,
averaging much larger than those granted
the Union soldiers, however, because most of
them lived in the South. Nor was service
in the rebel army any objection, since a
larger portion of those to whom be granted
this gratuity" had done all in their power
to destroy the Government which now pen
stoned them.
When it came to granting pensions to
Union soldiers, Cleveland strained at gnat !;
when cx-rebels were to be pensioned, he
was ready to swallow camel.
Get your retoes ready.
The National tribune., 1892-10-20
THE REAL FIGHTING GROUND.

The Cleveland men have practically
abandoned the State of New York and con-
ceded it to Harrison. They have been rails
ing fund, which the New York papers re-
port has reached $4,000, to use in Western
States, such as Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, the
Dakotas, and Minnesota.
They hope with this to stimulate and en-
courage the Peoples Party, so as to take
those States out of the Harrison column and
throw the election into the present House
of Representatives, where the Cleveland
men have q large majority.
Many good comrades in those States have
been acting with the Peoples Party on local
and State issues They should clearly un-
derstand that to vote that party's National
ticket cannot by any possibility help to elect
it, but will be vote for Cleveland, and of
more assistance to him than If cast directly
for the Cleveland Electors. 1t will be vote
against Harrison and the liberal pension
policy of his Administration; it will be re-
buke to him, for all that he and those asso-
ciated with him have done for the veterans
and their dependent ones, and commenda-
tion of Cleveland's hostility.
We know that no comrade wants to do
this, and will not, if he considers the matter
, rightly worse than waste his vote by casting
it for the Peoples ticket.

them is condemned and will be punished at

the first opportunity.
Comrades, wherever you are, we appeal to
you to lay all other considerations aside Tor
the time being, and concentrate your votes
on this vital issue. Let us fight the battle
for veterans rights to finish no,c. Let us
win a decisive victory, which will give us an
opportunity afterward to discuss, and di-
vide upon, if need be, other questions. Ii
you will give a solid vote for Comrade Har-
rison, we shall settle the matter definitely
for the remainder of our lives.
Comrades, will you do it?
We feel certain that you will.
Get your retoes ready

ARRaNr uUMBUG.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's revival Of the
memories of Cleveland's cruel yetoes has
alarmed his supporters, and they are trying
to break the effect of our statements.
cunningly- prepared apology for the vetoes
is being given the place in the columns OF
the soldier-hating papers heretofore occupied
by abuse of the pensioners.
A single extract from the article will show
its falsehood and sophistry:
Twelve Of that number were vetoed by Presi-
dent Cleveland when Gen. John G. Black, the
Democratic Commissioner of Pensions, reported
TO him that the cases fully established and
could be allowed under the general law. The GER
ticates in those issued Mt once, and the
Presidents veto saved to the beneticaries tour oil
whom were widows) the aggregate sum oil slo'oi.
Tire Presidents veto Of Senate bill 75i0 actually
put in the pocket of the claimant the sum oil S51oo,
and lis veto of Senate bill OFT saved 10 the claim
ant 81 074.
Had the President approved the special bills
which passed In the supposed interest OF
these 12 claimants he would have deprived them OF
tho back pension to which tho general pension law
gave them title The other IL of the "a mentioned
were vetoed because the beneiiciaries had claims
pending under tho general law, all OF which in-
volved arrears and oil of which had been on file In
the Pension Office for many years. Nine OF these
claims were allowed in the next few months after
the veto, and the others subsequently al
lowed
1t may not be generally understood that PEN
sion granted under special act Of Congress can
only commence from the day the President signs
the bill.
This is the most utter bosh.
Did anyone ever hear of such an absurdity
as veto taking money out of the Treasury?
What would have been the status of these
claimants had Cleveland signed their bills?
Simply this: They would have been en-
titled to apply for pensions under two laws
one general law, under which they would
be entitled to arrears; the other under
special law, dating only from the day OF its
approval Or they could have accepted a
pension under the special acts and still have
been entitled to the arrears due them under
the general law up to the date when the
pension under the special act commenced.
This is and always has been the law, and has
always been the rule of the Department,
except during the Administration of Grover
Cleveland.
No person is entitled to two pension GER
tificates for the same period, SO these pen
sioners would have been compelled to elect
which they would take, and it is idiotic to
suppose that they would have taken those
that did not carry arrears.
This is a fair sample of ths stuff with
which the Clevelandites are seeking to
delude the veterans.
