Tillman's Bill TO Pension Ex'

On the first day of the present
session Congressman J. y. Tillmau
introduced the following which was
referred to the Committee on In
valid Pensions and ordered 90 be
printed
\ bill to pay to Confederate
soldiers and TO the widows of Con-
/ federate soldiers $500, and $50 per
month druing the remainder of their
| lives
Whereas a large amount of money,
approximately S1OO,OOO,OOO, was
secured and collected from the
people Of the South during the Civil
War and the reconstruction period
that followed, from the following
named sources: First, from cap
tured and abandoned peoperty; sec
ond, from con6scated property; and,
third, from the collection of cotton
tax from eighteen hundred and
sixty-threc to eighteen hundred and
siXty-eight and whereas what is
known as the cotton tax" was
illegally collected.
Whereas the South prior to the
Civil War and since that time abun-
dainty proved her loyalty to the
Union, gamely lost without muir
muring four million slaves valued at
50, 600, 100000, gave to the country
much in military service, and added
much territory through the genius
and diplomacy of her statesmen.
Whereas, fifty years after the un-
fortunate struggle between the
States there exists only a scattered
remnant of the gray chivalrV that
rarely lost a battle, many of whom
are manned and unable to work.
Whereas it is desirable TO destroy
the last vestige of sectional feeling
and emphasize the fraternal spirit
that should obtain in a happily re-
united country, and TO permit a
generous and a just Government to
recOmpense in part the South for her
losses not justified by the stern
demands Of war.
Whereas it is practically i'm
possible to restore the cotton tax"
illegally collected or other property
conhscated, to the people from
whom it was taken during and after
the war.
Whereas the surviving soldiers of
the Confederacy are conspicuous
and deserving representatives Of
said section: Therefore be it enacted
by the Senate and House of Repre-.
sentatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled
That upon the passage of this Act
there shall be paid to each soldier
who served in the Confederate Army
and to each widow of any Confeder-
ate soldier, the sum of $500 and
that in addition to this payment
such soldiers and such widows shall
be paid quarterly the sum of $50 per
month each during the remainder of
their lives.

visions of this Act the sum of Sl00.-
