M'KlNLEY AND PENSIONS.
The President Has Always Been the
Earnest Friend OF Old Soldiers.

The President Has Always Been the
Earnest Friend OF Old Soldiers.
In an interview, Hon. D. /. Murphy,
former Commissioner of Pensions,
states that President Mckinley, on the
morning of Sept. 4, 1899, said to the
National Committee on Pensions, G. A.
r.: There is 10 use denying the fact,
gentlemen, that the money power OF
the country is against any further eX-
pansion of the pension roll" The I'M
dersigned members, only, of the Pen
sion Committee, called on tie President
by appointment that morning and in
the interest of justice we desire to say
that this statement is not true. The
President did not on that occasion, nor
at any other time, make use Of any
such words, nor did he make any such
suggestion then or at any other time,
and we were present at all the confer
ences between the President and the
National Committee on Pensions from
amending the act of June u, 1890, in
May, 1900. At each conference he I'M
reseryedly approved the amendments
proposed by the committee and unani-
mously adopted by the Philadelphia en-
campment. More than this, the Presi-
dent freely gave to the committee and
the soldiers and sailors and their de-
pendent ones whom we represented his
personal aid in securing the passage of
the bill Having satisfied himself Of
the absolute justice of the measure, he
did not hesitate to declare in favor of
the amendment of the act of 1890 and
the liberal administration of all the
pension laws The President is the
earnest and practical friend of the sol
diers and sailors of this country. From
the very beginning of his public career
he has given expression to sincere re-
gard for his comrades of the war, and
on all proper occasions he has not fail
ed to declare himself earnestly in ia
vor of liberal administration of the
pension laws. In his official capacity
as a member of Congress and as the
chief executive Of the nation, he has
evinced the utmost concern for liberal
lied pension legislation and admins
tration. It is cruel and wicked wrong
to put into the mouth of the President
the words ascribed to him in this inter-
view. He does not entertain such senti-
ments. The chief executive executes
the laws as enacted by Congress, and
no President in the history of this re-
public has performed his duty more
faithfully in this regard than our COM
rade, William Mckinley. He was and
is in thorough accord with the senti-
ments of the Grand Army as expressed
at Philadelphia and Chicago, in the ad-
ministration of the pension laws, and
of this fact the National Pension Com
mittee has full knowledge.

TRUTH OR FALsEhooD7
Records on the Trust Question Which
Will Trouble Mr.. Bryan to Explain.

Records on the Trust Question Which
Will Trouble Mr.. Bryan TO Explain.
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Bryan
asserts that the Republican party has
done nothing, attempted nothing, and
can be expected to do nothing to pro-
tect the people from trust monopolles.
If this is the truth, it is an important
truth; if it is lie, it is reckless, afro
cious lie which should forever discredit
the man who uttered it. Let us see.
A few months ago, speaking at the Chi
cago antitrust conference, Mr.. Bryan
said:
Il believe Congress has, or should
have, the power to place restrictions
and limitations, even to the point of
prohibition, upon any corporation or
ganized in one State that wants to do
business outside of the State.
/ am in favor of an amendment to the
Constitution that will give to Congress
power to destroy every trust in the
country
At the first session Of the Fifty-siXth
Congress the Republican majority Of
the House Judiciary Committee report
ed a constitutional amendment exactly
in line with Mr.. Bryan's plan of deal
ing with trusts, as follows:
ITO lodge in Congress the power to
define, regulate, control, prohibit or dis
solve trusts, monopolies or. combina-
TONS"
On the roll call on the question of SUBJ
hitting this constitutional amendment
for ratification by the various States of
the Union the vote was as follows:
Republicans-Fo 149; against, 2.
Democrats and Populists-For, 5:
against, 129.
In the light of this record, did the
Popocrat candidate state truth or false
hood when in his letter of acceptance
he asserted that the Republican party
has done nothing, attempted nothing,
and can be expected to do nothing to
protect the people from trust mo-
nopolies?
O1ney on the Duties of Citizenship.
If one citizen may properly withhold
his vote, logically all may, and all the
wheels of government be stopped.
To decline voting because practically
assured that others will vote is but to
give the latter an undue share of polit-
ical power and to forfeit the right to
complain of any abuse of it.
The obligations of citizenship are
avoided, not performed, by standing
neutral in an election.
The voting power is a trust which
calls for use and is violated by the ne
elect to use.-From His Letter of Aug.
Ia.
An Advertiser reporter called at the
office of the Election Commissioners
yesterday to ascertain if Mr.. Olney had
himself done the duty he so eloquently
prescribed for others. This was the re-
suit:
Mr.. Olney is not yet on the voting list
of 1900.
Mr. Olney was not on the voting list
of 1899.
Mr.. Olney was not on the voting list
of 1898.
Mr.. Olney was not on the voting list
Of 1897.
Mr.. Olney was not on the general vot-
ing list of 1896.
Back of this the Commissioners did
not have time to go, and research
would be accompanied by investigation
of musty volumes in the assessors de-
partment-but there is suspicion that
Mr.. Olney voted for Cleveland in 1892.

1t Demands Immediate Relief-A
Public Meeting Held-Many People

"A Huge Petition.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, March .',-At
a special meeting of the chamber Of oom.
merce recently it was decided to close all
business houses to enable the merchants
to attend an open air meeting on the
plaza, with the object of drawing up a
petition to Governor General Davis de.
manding immediate congressional decision
on the tariff one way or the other. The
agreements were sent to all towns
throughout Puerto Rico, requesting like
demonstrations. The feeling OF uncer.
tainty regarding the tariff holds busines.
practically at standstill, the merchants
beinfi afraid to order goods or to advance
funds on the planters accounts. The
meeting was conducted in calm and bust
ness-like manner. The merchants will be
satisfied to accept any decision of con
gress-either free trade, the 25 per cent
or the Is per cent tariff-but they ask
for a settlement Of the question so thai
business activity may be resumed. They
decided to take this unparalleled step only
after mature deliberation.
Begging for Food.
Sixty country women marched from
Narantjito last evening and petitionet
General Davis to save them from star
vation and to provide work and food.
The women presented most pitiabl

The petition which they presented t.
the governor general tells the story O
the depressing times, no work and tn
price of rice, beans and bread beyon
reach, fruits destroyed and the relief SUP
plies discontinued, bringing them an
others where they came from almost t
starvation. General Davis promised relic
to the party, and requested the mayor t
provide them transportation. His repl
was that there was not q peso in tn
treasury, and that the police were ye
