A prominent republican of Yuma was
holding forth in onr village store, going
over his fathers pitiful history as to how
he had suffered and actually wanted
bread in free trade England, and when he

upon breadstuffs. he felt like creeping

A good ordinary COW is worth from S25

ton of good hay to winter q cow, b, sides
considerable grain TO keep her in good

expert mathematician to see at glance
that six cents per pound is no price for
gilt-edged butter. But then, if it was
not that the farmer is highly protected.
we might have to give the butter mer-
chant two cents per pound to take it of
our hands. What mercy it is that the
farmers interests are 30 carefully guarded

THE PENSION DEFICIENCY.
Commissioner Raum Refutes the Wild Statements
- a.. IT,

Commissioner RRum Refutes the Wild Statements
Of the Sodrr-IIafing Press.
Referring 10 the absurdly sensational reports
in the solder-hating papers, Commissioner
Raum says:
81 have submitted my estimates to the Sec
rotary OF tho Treasury, and, Of course do not
feel az liberty 10 give the exact figures, but in
order 10 rcfutc certain statements that have
been made in the newspapers ] will say that
the deficiency asked for will be less than 49,
100000 aud not Sl0O00O00, as has been charged.
As to the assertion that the annual cost Of PEN
sions will ever reach S2O00D00O0, i think /
can show you in few words that it is utterly
without foundation. The average yearly rate
OF a pension under the old law last year was
Sl339s. The minimum rate under the new
law is Sc per month. and the maximum is SD.
Now, $40 per month is high average; that
Will make yearly average OF 500. The rate
for widows under the dependent law is
500 per year. Now you can see these aver
ages arc much less than the old law. /
think the Census Bureau has discovered
that my estimates that there were now
living 10000 Of ex-Union soldiers was about
correct Some Of the these men will never
apply for pensions Now, suppose that 100000
OF these men, or the widows of those who may
die, should be placed upon the pcnsion-Tolls
That would be the maximum number
wouldn't itI Now, suppose we give them
pensions at an average yearly rate Of $3.50 for
survivors and $50 for wid0ws-that is above
what il would be for survivors, but we will
take that-thc yearly pension would then be
only Slj6000,O00 for survivors and for widows
etc. now on the rolls And this amount would
decrease every year by deaths aud from other
causes. Last year we dropped $1,000 names
from the rolls, and after the first year or two Of
the operations OF this Dependent Pension act
the number annually dropped will more than
equal the number Of new names annually added.
So IL is impossible that the sum for pensions
should ever reach S200,000,000.
Last year l5l 600 cases were settled. Now,
my estimates for next year, with the additional
clerical force allowed, are on the basis of the
settlement of 100000 cases, 100000 more than
last year. That disposes Of the assertion that
If the clerks were working to their full limit
the deficiency would be $7JOO0,OO0 During
the month OF October there were issued 10000
certificates for claims under the old law, while
up 10 November %, there had been issued
under the new law only 755 certificates all told.
We are now getting good sweep of the claims
under the new law. aud are getting large
number ready % send out for examination but
there is no neglect Of cases filed under the old
law.
As 10 The charge that pension certificates

preparations made for the next year, will say
that At the close Of the last fiscal year there was
over half million dollars that went back into
the Treasury from the appropriations made for
that year because il could not be utilized in
time"
