GROWTH OF PENSION LIST
Comparison of Last Years Record With
Those of Former Periods.
Figures Given for Grants FIRST Term
and Hayes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Total Expenditures.

An elaborate statement showing the num-
Der of pensions granted during the past
nscal year in comparison with those of
former years has been prepared at the pen
sion Office. 1t shows that more pensions for
service in the war of the rebellion were
granted during the last fiscal year than
were allowed during the entire four years
OF Grants second term and the entire adj
ministra1ion of President HAYES: that the
amount actually paid for army and navy
pensions during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1898, was largely in excess of the
amount paid during either the first or sec
ond of President Grants terms and almost
as much as was paid during the entire four
years of President Hayes administration
The exact figures as follows:
In Grants first term 2O.S5O pensions were
allowed on account of the war of 1872 ana
II ,452 on account of the war of the rebel
lion. In his second term 26S2o pensions
were granted on account of the war of 1SI2
and 1859 on account of the rebellion. Com
ing to Hayes administration, ,69S pensions
were granted on account of the war of Isl.
and but 39,945 of the war of the rebellion
Thus from Grants first term to the end of
Hayes administration a total of %, 36S pen
slonS were granted for the war of 1912 and
los, 166 on account of the rebellion This
made an average per year for the 1872
claims allowed of AGA, and for the war of

The number of pensions allowed during
the past fiscal year. including the war of
ISL (and there We're only seven on that
