Robbing Pensioners.

The latest official list Of pensioners
shows that there are 967. .O43 names OF
veterans and widows and orphans OF
veterans, upon the pension roll, and the
amount paid to these pensioners last
year was sl39O53, ,s9259. This is az
elusive Of 8. 3.4Sl pensioners living in for
eign countries who are paid annually
S69J, J,3i3.
Four .fifths Of these pensioners are
largely dependent upon the small pit
tance paid the n by the government for
their livelihood. Many Of them are
widows whose husbands gave their lives
to maintain the union. or the children
of fallen heroes who are largely depend
ent upon their pensions FOR their sup
port.
Thus in round numbers we have 910,-
600 United States pensioners who re-
ceive in rourd numbers sl40.OOO.OO0 an
nually. and large majority OF them
would suffer from actual want but tor
the patriotic action OF our government
in granting liberal pensions.
II the national candidates OF thu Chi
cago convention shall be successful in
November it is openly avowed that the
silver standard would be precipitated
upon this government as speedily as pos
sible. In point OF fact the mere election
OF the repudiated candidates for presi-
dent and vice president would at once
make gold command premium. and
plunge this country into the slough OF
cheap money without waiting for the
inevitable congressional action.
o, the sl4O.OOO,OOO now paid annually
to our pensioners, the adoption OF the
silver standard OF money in this country
would at once rob them OF nearly or
quite s7O.OOO,O 900 each year, as the pur-
chasing value Of the lawful m ,ney of
United States would be re iuced Just
about one-half. @
The adoption OF the free silver theory
by the government Of the United States
therefore, means in plain English. the
robbery of nearly l.OOo,O0O Of pensioners
of s7OOOO,OOO, or one half their pensions.
by paying them in money of just one
half the purchasing value ofthe present
lawful money OF the government.
What answer will the million OF pen
sioners OF the land and their friends
have to make to the bold proposition to
rob the pensioners OF this country to the
am punt OF s7OOOO,OOO each year?

helped the operations of the bears in wheat
comprised rain In Indiana and increasing
hammers deliveries in the Northwest. There
were numerous messages received from Min
neapols and elsewhere in the Northwest to
the effect that farmer deliveries had increased
considerably, and Kansas City reported bet
ter receipts there Minneapolis and Duluth
receipts were 6S4, against IT'S Saturday last,
and 1913 year ago. Chicago received IS
carloads today against S99 last year. The
weeks shipments of wheat and flour from
both coasts were 1864, 600 bushels, being the
heaviest for any week in several years. The
days clearances in wheat and -four from At
lantlc ports were moderate at about 220, 600

strong and higher. New York reported $50, 900

wide discrepancies between estimates about
what the visible would show Monday. They
ranged from 100 coo decrease to 100000 in
crease. The most generally accepted was
from 100000 to 100000 increase. Corn was
fairly active, and might, in comparison with
wheat, be called firm. May closed at 283sc

ceipts we're only 1877 cars, and only 24O are
looked for Monday. Liverpool quotations were
reduced I'D per Genital. Oats were quiet with
a narrow range of prices, which ruled
shade under yesterdays closing quotations.
Packers sold products against their purchases
heavy enough to absorb them except at re-
