Ocratic and Republican Par
ties.

Waving the differences between
the two parties upon matters peculi-
arly Southern, which differences are
known of all men the fundamental diff
e between the Democratic and
Republican parties in the Republic is
concerning the taxing power. The
Democratic Party, being the party of
the people and favoring equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,
believes that the Government has no
right to use the peoples taxes except
for public benefit or, to use the tax
ing power except to raise sufficient
revenue to run the Government econ
omically administered. The Republic
can Party, being the party in which
those who have to seek special priv
ileges under the law have enlisted, be-
lieves the Government has the right
to g~ive~svast sums, called subsidies,
from the public treasury to enrich
a few, under the theory that their
prosperity will benefit the country at
large; and believes further, that it is
right to use the taxing power to en-
able, special interests to put up the
price of of what they sell to the Ameri-
can people, calling, this protection,
sheltering criminal m~onopolies under
the false theory that, if a few are
made enormously prosperous, in some
indefinite way this prosperity will
trickle down among the people. and
finally bless those who are robbed.

nually. The following extracts are
made from the first article in the
Worlds Work for October:
"A year after the cessation of hos
tilities the government was paying
fifteen millions of dollars, to disabled
soldiers, their widows and orphans
and other dependents. In 1874 the
pension bill reached t%hirty-one mil
lions. Then it began a natural de-
cline. It had fallen in 1878 to TWEEN
ty-eight millions. In anuary, 1879,
there was passed a law giving full ar
rears to all entitled to pensions. The
lump sums thus offered presented
tempting prices, and thousands of old
soldiers searched their bodies for
some twinges that might be attribut-
ed back to wartime. In two years
the bill bounded from twenty-eight
up to ffty-eight millions. -
THE Grand Army of the Republic,
organized at the close of the Civil
War, now fell largely into the hands
of pension promoters-Corporal Tan
ner, a professional pension agent, at
their head. The organization swiftly
grew and became a political power.
A succession of Grand Army pension
agents administered the govern
ment's pension bureau. God help
the surplus in the UNITED States
treasury when 1 get at it. said Cor
poral Tanner when President Harri-
son appointed him. The bill went
steadily up until in 1889 it reached
ninety-two millions. In 1890 poverty
ceased to be a condition for a PEN
sion grant. That year the bill made
the highest jump it had yet accom-
plished-it ran up to 10 millions.
And up it kept going until in 1893 it
reached the prodigious sum of 161
millions. gJ,.ss
President Cleveland turned his at
tention to pensions at the beginning
of his second administration, and an
honest administration of the bureau
brought the bill down to IA mil
lions. 1t continued at about that
figure, but with a downward tenden-
cy, until 1907. In 1906 congress au-
thorized recognition of mere age as a
disability, and in 1907 the old age
pension rates were increased. The
bill sprang to 156 millions.
TN 1908 congress extended PEN
sions to widows of n~inety-day men
without regard to their peeuniary
need. The bill soon 0 to 165 mil
