Republican (nationalist) de facto President Benjamin Harrison (having received an unlawful advantage of 20 ineligible and 51 stolen Electoral votes)—without a constitutional amendment—signs the Dependent and Disability Pension Act, extending benefits to the children of Union veterans of the War of Federal Aggression.
Postscript: The Republican 51st Constitutional Congress (a.k.a. the “Billion Dollar Congress”) wiped out the entire surplus left by Democratic (constitutionalist) President Cleveland, despite enactment of the McKinley Tariff, which raised protective tariff rates to their highest levels ever.
NOTE: So much for conservative Republicans!
