Fundamental differences between the Republicans and Democrats begin to surface during the late 19th century, particularly in relation to the economy and the role government should play in regulating it. The Republicans favor the protective tariff and a sound money policy; the Democrats are averse to policies that favor special interests. Cleveland's primary weapon against overreaching government is the veto, a skill he perfected as New York governor. His favorite targets are the pension bills that support disabled Civil War veterans. Many view these bills as precursors to the modern notion of welfare.
