sESAToR INGALLss POSITION.

Tire position taken By Senator ingalls, in
his great speech in the Senate last week is in
exact accord with that of the GAR. Ma
tional Pension Committee and of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE.
He is, first of all ardently in favor of the
Disability Bill drafted By the GAR. Ma
tional Pension Committee, and which he
supported in his incisiye, telling speech. He
is believer in the policy of that committee,
which is that all efforts now should be con-
oentrated upon securing the passage of that
measure before attempting anything else.
That done, he is in accord with the commit
tee in being in favor Of taking the next step
forward in pressing other much-desired leg
islation. lie has long been the special
champion of the repeal of the iniguitous
limitation to the arrears Of pensions.
He is in favor of having all pensions
granted for disabilities resulting from
wounds or diseases incurred in line of duty
while in the service commence from date Of
discharge; also, when this class is provided
for, and when all the widows and orphans
of those who died in the service or since
from wounds or diseases incurred In tn,
service are provided for By law, then lie il
in favor of the Government doing for the sol
diers Of the war of the rebellion what ha
been done for those of the Revolution, tn
war Of 1912 and the Mexican war
This is in strict harmony with the plan o
action mapped out by the GAR Nationa
Pension Committee, and is in exact accor
with the instructions to that committee b
the DIST National Encampment in session q
St Louis.
1t is the course that we have Away
urged upon the veterans Of the countr,
First relieve the utterly disabled and need
who are awaiting in poorhouses and home
Of restitution the rapid approach of the gril
monster Death, repeal the arrears of pei
sions, take care of the widows and orphan
and then 60 on to still broader liberaliz
{ tior Of the laws which win eventually Il
clude every man who wore the blue.

The statistical returns of the Department Of
Agriculture for March show that the corn crop
is the smallest since 1884 and the amount now
remaining on farms the smallest in seven years.
1t is estimated at sos, 100000 bushels, against
COZ, 000,0 900 bushels last year and 773000,000
bushels two years ago. The proportion mer-
charitable is 84.4 per cent. of present average
value of 50.6 cents per bushel. The unmer-
charitable averages 1922 cents per bushel. The
proportion consumed without removal beyond
county lines which was last March II per cent,
is estimated at IL per cent. for the present CROP
which reduces the quantity transported to 170,-
900 600 bushels, 118000,000 less than last year,
while the amount for consumption is also
smaller by 90,000000 bushels. The indicated
stock of the wheat of 1887 in the hands of farm
ers is 1872 100000 bushels against 122 000 900 last
year. There has been used in seeding of Win
ter wheat "a, 100000 bushels ls7,000,0O0 bush

nor elevators aud mill stocks, in course of dis
tributon between farm stocks and actual con-
sumption.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE WASHINGTON O. THURSDAY
COST OF THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD.

COST OF THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD.
During the debate on the Disability Pen
sion Bill the opposition Senators reiterated
the statement that is constantly appearing
in the soldier-hating press, that the pension
roll costs the United States more every year
than any of the great armies of the great
nations of the world.
It would not matter if this were true,
because no nation ever fought a war of
anything like the immensely of ours, with
anything like the number Of men in the
field, with 50 long a term Of war-seryice
for so many men, and with such appalling
numbers of killed and wounded.
But it is not true. Last year the armies
Of some of the principal nations of Europe
cost them as follows:
SILL 6l6Oo
Germany lVo'oi4'ooo
Great Britain. SO,@l'ooU
Russia lzf,oooaf4
AS our pension expenditures for the year
ending June 80, 1887, were $75,O29,102, it is
apparent that our pension-roll did not cost
us within $46,OOO,OOO of as much as Frances
army cost her, or within $25,0OO,OOO of the
cost of the German army, or $15,OO000O Of the
cost of the British army, or $5O,OO00O0 of
the Russian army.
OF course, however, an inaceuracy of from
$15OOO,OOO to $5OOOO,OOO never is allowed
to bother soldier-hater when he is talking
about pensions.
The above figures do not tell the whole
story, either Within few weeks Germany
has increased the cost of her standing army
$70,00OO0O, which will make its total annual
expense-on a peace footing, $175,000,000 a
year. Even with this enormous expendi-
ture for long term of years, she will not
be able toput into the field as many effective
soldiers as joined our banners in 1865,
from a population of less than half the
present population of the German Empire
ANY true public economist viii say that
considered purely ON a business basis, it is
infinitely cheaper and better to have our
young men at home in the workshops and
on the farms, developing the wealth Of the
country, only gathering round the flag when
need comes, those of them who are hurt
by the service being literally pensioned, at
heavy cost to the Nation, than it is to follow
the German plan, and keep more than half
million of them constantly under arms,
ready for an emergency, at starvation pay,
and with pitiful pensions for those who are
disabled.
In other words it is better public policy
to pay liberal pensions for term of years
to a relatively small number of volunteers
who may become disabled in war than it is
to keep an enormous number of young men
away from useful employment preparing
/ for a war which may never come.
Another sum in the above table demands
explanation. Great Britain saddles $87, POI
$50 of the cost of her army on to India, so
that this amount should be added to the
above, making her total annual expenditure
| $17B, 1O2, $50, or more than $1O0,OOO,OO0 a
year more than we expend for pensions.

till he became insane at his death, in 1861,
his brother, William I, who had been regent
during the kings lunaey, assembled the throne
and reigned till last Friday. He leaves to
his successor, Frederick III, the hereditary
kingdom of Prussia, now containing $4,000
square miles, or about as much territory as
there's in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York,
with population of 100000, as many
as there are in New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan In
addition is the remainder of the German
Empire, over which he reigns nearly as alb
solutely and quite as securely as his ances-
tors have done over Prussia The Empire
has an area of 2O8,O0O square miles, making
territory the size of Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Illinois and half of Missouri, with 8
population of 46,852, 450, and an army of
$4,000 on a peace footing but which can be
raised to 2,25O,0oO in case of war. That is
certainly a marvellous growth from the
$4,000 square miles, 100000 people, and
$4,000 soldiers of his. ancestor who died just
200 years ago.

TIE Duke of Rutland is dead. His prin-
cipal claim to distinction was that he was a
very respectable man, which is something
not usually expected of an English Duke.
His family, too, had always been respectable,
and the dukedom was not derived from some
ancestress who was mistress of a King, as
several of those of his brother dukes were.
He was very stupid man, but this only
maintained the affinity with his class which
his entire responsibility disturbed, for intel
lectual dullness is the usual characteristic OF
the English peerage.

THE pRUssIAN DYNASTY.


Some confusion exists in the popular mind
as to the titles of the new Emperor of Ger
many and his predecessors. Even the New
York Herald, which makes much of its in
formation of foreign affairs, plumbers worse
than schoolboy in speaking of Frederick the
Great as Frederick l." The first King of
Prussia was Frederick I, son of Frederick
Wilhelm, the Great Elector" The latter,
succeeding to the Dukedom when Prussia
was part Of the great Polish kingdom, and
was sunk in poverty and misery on account
Of the ravages of the Thirty Years War, sue
ceeded in making it independent of Poland,
and raising it during his 48 years reign to
prosperity and power. When he died, in
1868, it contained $4,000 square miles of terri
tory-a little more than the State of Ohio, and
a population Of 500,000-about az many
as there are in Wisconsin. His son, Frederick
/, continued his fathers wise policy, and, in
consequence of the ready money and the
well-drilled army he put at the service of the
Emperor of Germany, succeeded in getting
for himself the title of King-though this
was bitterly opposed by the other monarchs
of Europe. When he died, in 1913, his son,
Frederick William, who was cut off the
same piece as his father and grandfather,
succeeded him, and at his death, in 1740, left
his son, Frederick II-who is known in his
tory as Frederick the Great an enlarged
dominion containing 2,24O,O0O subjects, &c.
100000 in cash in the treasury, no debts, and a
well-disciplined army of 10000 men. With
these Frederick commenced a career of con-
quest, and though he fought at one time
France, Austria and Russia, which had 90
people to his one, he came out Of the Seven
Years War victorious. At the conclusion OF
the struggle his country was in deplorable
condition, with all its towns and cities de-
/ stroyed, its farms deyastated-even its seed
wheat devoured its livestock killed and q
! frightful proportion of it's able-bodied men
slain or crippled. But his Government was
worthy of his Generalship, and when he
died, after reign of as years, he left hi:
successor 100000 people--about as many
as there are in New York-77, 900 miles O
territory-very nearly the size of Nebraska
$50000,000 cash in the treasury, and an army
of 100000. Frederick William II succeeded
him, but all that Prussia gained during hi
reign of 10 years was slice of Poland a
large as Ohio. Frederick William III, fathe
of the dead Emperor, and the weakest of tn
lot, came to the throne in 1897, and had
hard time of it fighting the French, VIII
J invariably whipped his troops until his Gen
l-Blucher-j joined Wellington and help

in 1910, leaving bad memory for weakness

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, made a
brief speech in favor Of the Disability Pen
sion Bill. but it was crammed full of weighty
facts. The bristling points were:
1. The State of Massachusetts, has paid
out for the relief of disabled soldiers and
their dependent relatives nearly $20,000,000.
@. No man in Massachusetts, believes that
dollar of this vast sum was misapplied, or
went to men and women who were not en-
titled to every cent of it.
3. No man in Massachusetts complains of
the direct taxation which has been levied to
raise the money so disbursed On the other
hand, it is warmly approved by men of all
shades of political belief, and more would
be readily voted if deemed necessary.
4. If this large expenditure has been
found necessary for the veterans residing in
Massachusetts,, it is at least equally neces-
sary for soldiers everywhere.
8. The men and women who received this
aid are not properly the charge of the State
of Massachusetts,, but of the whole country
and the necessity for doing what Massachu-
setts did was caused by the failure of the
Government to do its duty by the men who
had so nobly done their whole duty by it.
This is putting the whole case as com,
pactly as a rife bullet
