PENSIONS.
The number Of pensions added TO the roll
during the nscal year ended June D. issR is
6le52 and increase OF pension was granted IN
4S,T6 eases. The names OF is.TD pensioners
were dropped from the rolls during the year for
various causes, and At the close OF the year the
number OF pensioners wAs4s1ssz ofthese there
were sc survivors OF the war OF Isle,
1875 widows OF those who served In
that war. 1000 soldiers OF the Mexican
war aud 500 widows OF said soldiers
One hundred and two different rates OF pen
sious are paid % these beneneiaries. ranging
from o 10 Ais.eC per month. The amount
paid for pensions during the fiscal year was
as 7a, Ni.9i, heiug an increase over the pro-
ceding year OF t.slSeso92. The expenses At
tending the maintenance and operation OF the
Pension Bureau during that period was H,sd2..
b2i.G1, making the entire expenditures Of the
bureau tS2UA8S e being CIV per cent % tho
gross income and nearly 81 per cent Of the 70.
tai expenditures 81 the Government during the
year.
am Thoroughly convinced that our general
pension laws should be revised and adjusted 10
meet. as far as possible In the light o. our ex.
perience, all mcritorious cases. The fact that
one hundred and two different rates OF pensions.
are paid can not in my opinion be made con
sistent with justice 20 the pensioners or i the
Government, and the numerous privgte pen
sion bills I at are passed, predicatcd rp"a this
imperfoction OF general laws. while they in.
crease In many eases existing inequality

the recommendation for a revision Of
the general laws on this subject.
The laxity OF ideas prevailing among a larRs
number OF our people regarding pensions is be.
coming every day more marked. The principles
upon which they should be granted are IN dan
ger Of being altogether ignored, and already
pensions are often claimed because the uppli-
oants are rs much entitled Us other successful
applicants, rather than upon any disabil-
ity reasonably attributable 10 military
service. II the establishment OF
various precedents be continued, II
the granting OF pensions be not divorced from
n~artisan and other unworthy and irrelevant con.
siderations, and the honorable name OF veteran
unfairly becomes by these means but another
term for one who constantly elamors for the aid
OF the Government there is danger that injury
viii be done 10 the fame and patr otism of many
whom our citizens delight b. honor. and that
4 prejudice will be aroused unjust to meritori
Gus applicants for pensions.
AGRICuLTuRE.
The Department OF Agriculture has continued
with = good measure OF success In It's efforts TO
develop the processes, enlarge the results and
augment the profits OF American husbandry.
II has collected and distributed practical
Information, introduced and tested new plants.
checked the spread OF contagious diseases
OF farm animals. resisted tine advance Of
noxi0us insects aud destructive fungus
growths and sought to secure TO agricultural
labor tho highest reward OF eh1rt and the full
est immunity from loss Its records OF The year
show that the season OF 1898 has been one OF
medium production. A generous supply Of the
demands OF consumption has been assured and
q surplus for expectation, moderate in certain
products ana bountiful In others. will prove a
benefaetion alike to buyer and grower.
During the past four years the process OF d!f.
fusion AZ applied to the manufacture OF sugar
from sorghum and sugar cane has been intro
duccd into this country and fully perfected by
the experiments carried on by the department.
This process Is now universally considered 10
be the most economical one, and Il Is through
Il that the sorghum sugar industry has been
established upon u firm basis aad the road to
Its future success opened. The adoption OF this
diffusion process is also extending In Louisiana
and other sugar producing parts OF the country
and viii probobly be the on y method employed
for the extraction of sugar from the cane.
The Governments relations with laad grant
roads are taken up and the District OF Columbia

cludes:
The consciousness that I have presented but
an imperfect statement OF the condition of our
country and It's wants occasions no fear that
any thing omitted Is not known aud
appreciated by the Congress upon whom
rests the responsibility OF intelligent
legislation in behalf OF q great Nation
and a confding people. AS public ser.

stsntiy guard the rectitude OF our intentions,
maintain unsullied our love OF country, and
with ~unsellsh purpose strike for the public
good. GROVER CLEVELAND.
