Grant's final day in office, President Grant signed a joint resolution that authorized the President to accept the statue when it was presented by France and to select a site for it.

Rebuffed in an arbitration demand in 1895, President Cleveland and the US Congress threatened action under the Monroe Doctrine. But in 1899 the claim was settled mostly in Britain's favor.

Who was Grover Cleveland and what did he do?
Grover Cleveland on taking office started the habit of replacing only people in top government jobs who were in policy-making positions, retaining able office holders - even if from another party - who were in more 'technical' positions. He reduced import tariffs, although less than he himself had wished. What he did NOT do, was promote racial equality and black voting rights because of Southern sensibilities. On the basis of the USA's Monroe doctrine - making Middle and South America the USA's "back yard" where it felt it had the right to control events - he pursued an active foreign policy. At home, he succesfully worked to make Utah a US State in 1894.

What war was going on when Grover Cleveland was president?
President: Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 - June 24, 1908)
Term: 1st term: March 4, 1885 - March 4, 1889; 2nd term: March 4, 1893 - March 4, 1897
Political Party: Democratic
Vice-President: 1st term: Thomas A. Hendricks (1885), None (1885-1889); 2nd term: Adlai E. Stevenson
Major Domestic Policy: During Cleveland's presidency, there was an astounding growth in labor unions such as the Knights of Labor reaching their highest amount of power in 1886 because of the fact that they had just won a strike against the Southwest Railroad System. The union grew to 700,000 people, but since they tried to involve all employers into one big union, it eventually failed. Another reason for the failure of the Knights of Labor was due to the strike that was planned on May 1, 1886, but after the first day the strike faded away. One of the Chicago policemen fired at the crowd in order to break it up causing the strike to fade. Then there was a meeting at Haymarket Square the next day to protest against the inhumane treatment of protesters. The crowd consisted of anarchists and socialists, but was still peaceful, until the police took action. A bomb was then thrown, killing seven people. This was later known as the Haymarket Riot, and became the reason why the public turned against labor unions. Then in 1887, the Interstate Commerce Act was passed in order to regulate the flow of railroads. It created the Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce the railroad laws and that all rates must be reasonable. This Act prevented rates being changed at last minute, and outlawed pooling and rebates. Up until 1893, the United States seemed to stay calm and out of riots. Then a major railroad company failed, causing 500 banks to go out of business and then resulting in 15,000 businesses to fail. This was known as the Panic of 1893. Other reason for this panic is the fact that farmers were not making money since the end of the Reconstruction, Silver money was putting the treasury in debt, and revenue was not being received from tariffs because of the high rates of the McKinley Tariff. In order to help regain the United States from the depression, Cleveland requested Congress to cancel the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890. Once this bill was passed, it stopped the flow of Silver into the Treasury. Once 1894 came around, labor unions came to arise once again. The Pullman Company released their employees, and then they hired them back with a 25% wage cut. Some of these workers were a part of the American Railway Union and petitioned Eugene v. Debs. Debs then ordered a boycott of the trains and carts except for the United States mail trains. But their plan backfired, and a court order issued to Debs telling him to stop interfering with mail carts, and that it violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The Federal Army was then sent to break up the strike due to the fact that it stopped the flow of U.S. Mail. In order to lower the price of the McKinley Tariff, Cleveland passed the Wilson-Gorman Tariff in 1894 attempting to reduce the high rates. The act may have been put into effect, but after the Senate made more then 600 amendments, the McKinley Tariff rates hardly got reduced.
Major Foreign Policy: Once the McKinley Tariff was put into effect, it increased the price of sugar by 2 cents per pound, causing the Hawaiian Queen to stop depending on the United States for certain goods, and they began to establish an absolute rule. Then an American-sponsored Revolution came about in 1897, and Hawaii asked to join the Union. Cleveland did agree to annex Hawaii, but he felt a need for further investigation of the revolution, and realized the involvement of the United States. Hawaii would be later annexed in 1898 by the joint resolution of Congress. Once 1895 came around, a boundary disagreement occurred in Venezuela. This had happened before, and Cleveland suggested Great Britain and Venezuela should settle it out by choosing an agreement, but both sides resisted the good idea. This time, Great Britain took the effort of using troops to settle this dispute. The United States then threatened the ideas of the Monroe Doctrine, and since neither side wanted to start a war, the argument was settled.

Cleveland's Legacy: Cleveland will always be remembered for the man who served to Presidencies. As president, he was no Lincoln, but he did help to achieve Southern respect to the White House. His stubbornness and hostility towards the agrarian populists almost caused the Democrats to split and contributed to their defeat in 1896. He did dissociate himself with political machines, making himself seem imperial and king-like. Cleveland also helped strengthen the power of the executive brand, when he refused to give department files to Congress during the fight over presidential appointments. There had been no president who practiced his power prior to Richard M. Nixon. Cleveland will also be remembered for the president who called for troops during the Pullman Strike, and also threaten Britain and Venezuela with war in order to end the boundary dispute.
