The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1893-10-27
An Unparalleled Pension List.

There arc 966,012 names on the PEN
sion roll, besides 71I,l50 claims 10 be
acted on, OF which 119,361 wero filed
during the year.
Commenting on this record of prod
igalily the New York World says:
@The general idea that the pension
roll will soon reach It's maximum Is
fallacious, and the opinion of the COM
missioner that 1t will not increase af-
ter 1895 is a mere hope. 1t Is only
twenty-eight years since tho war
closed, aud under the most favorable
conditions aud according to all expert
encc that maximum will not be reach
ed within forty years after, or 1905.
Until that date and even after wo may
reasonably expect from his own figures
that the number added each year will
exceed those dropped.
@There were over 100000 enlisted
men. according 10 the revised lists, Of
whom over 100000 are living to-day.
Their widows, their children, their
fathers and mothers aud their depend
ent relatives greatly exceeded 4,000.-
600. Only 2,O34,695 original applica-
tions have been made, of which 1,S57,-
921 have been granted; but the claims
of over half, perhaps thrce-fourths,
peusionable under the present laws
have not yet maiured for fling. The
pensions 10 be granted under the pres
ent law TO the widows, children and
dependent relatives of the 759,706 en-
listed men now on the list cannot be
applied for until they die. The num-
Der Of widows aud dependent relatives
receiving pensions is now 206,306; but
Il is probable that we shall yet carry
1,200, 900 on the rolls, unless some rad
ical reforms shall be accomplished.
@Even a cursory reading of the re-
port shows that our fiscal policy must
provide for a constant increase of the
pension list for twelve or fifteen years

The advocates OF the extended use

fundamental principle, namely that
IL Is desirable to have cheap money.
But rs O matter of fact, no commod-
ity, be it gold, silver, copper, iron.
cattle or cabbage, can be relatively
cheaper than another kind. The
value of each will depend upon the
amount OF labor embodied in il, or
that will be required 10 purchase
it; and no Legislation can give 1t
any other value. Il statute could
make one metal or other commodity
