HOW FARMERS WOULD FARE.
A Talk About War by Assistant Secretary
Brigham.

Washington, d. C, March 81
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Brigham said to-day, in referring to
the effect war would have on the ag-
ricultural interests of the country.
that the first egect would be stagna-
ton. Then there would be reaction.
Farmers, he thought, might get q
little more for his produce. but they
would have 10 pay more for what
they bought. No such increase in
the price would occur, however, as
during the late war. It WAS his
opinion in the long run that farmers
would suffer as a result Of war. They
pay large proportion of taxes. He
said:
'.It is desirable, therefore, TO avoid
war, but the conditions that exist in
Cuba can not be allowed to continue.
We cannot stand idly by and see
thousands upon thousands perish
from starvation, because of the cruel
and heartlsss policy inaugurated by
General Weyler and continued un-
der the present controlling power
in Cuba. There is 10 doubt that
the administrations OF both the
United States aud Spain desire 10
avoid war. Under such conditions
it is possible that some plan May be
devised which will prevent hostili-
ties, aud 10 the end lead to a pescs
full solution Of the difficulties now
existing. It is not true, as claimed
by some. that the great desire to
avoid war is prompted by fear that
be d sastrous TO some of the mon
eyed interests Of cur country. The
President knows very well from his
OWE observations that war is h;
he knows that it means the maDgling
and manning OF thousands upon
thousands Of our young mtn the
burying of thousands in trenches,
without funeral rites, and the carry
ing of deeolation and distress to
thousands of hcmss. It is this ter
rible calamity and the vast increase
in the burdens now borne by the
people that the administration
would gladly avoid, and every good
citizen must regret the reckless
anxiety manifested by some Of our
prominent men to involve the coun-
try in war;
The farmers don't want war, II the
war must come, they will be found
ready. A large percentage of SOL
diers of the late war, he said, came
from the farmers.

UP GOES THE PENSION LIST.
The Roll Has Doubled Since 1887.


Washington, D c., March 80
In sending to Congress deficiency
estimate of S8,O7o,872 for pensions
for this year, Secretary Bliss makes
an interesting statement on the
general subject of pensions up to
date. Secretary Bliss says:
"On the 1st of July, 1897, there
was available S14O,O0O,e00 for the
payment of army and navy pensions;
100000 Of this amount was
set apart for navy pensions. leav-
ing S136,O00,O00 for payment of
army pensions. The total number
of pensioners on the roll June 30,
1897, was 976, OLA, while on the 28th
of February, 1898, there were $685..
613 on the roll, a net increase OF
1883. Between the latter dates
there was disbursed for the payment
of army pensions $95, 37O,872 As,
leaving the sum of S40,629,12 Sd
for the payment Of pensions to the
end Of the present fiscal year. The
commissioner Of pensions estimates
that $48,700,000 will be required
for the payment of pensions during
the remaining four months of the
present fiscal year, more than
S., 0o0,0e0 IN excess of appended
appropriation.
"The commissioner has recently
expressed to ma an opinion as to
the future course of pension pay
ments at variance with his views
thereon as stated in the annual re-
port, which was to the effect that
after the close of the current year
payments would rapidly decline. It
is now his opinion that in view of
the increasing applications for orr
ginal pensions and for increase OF
pensions there will be an increase in
the sum required for the payment of
the army aud navy pensions for some
time to come.
SIN this connection the appended
table showing the number of PEN
sioners on the roll and the value of
the roll annually since 1897 is signi
fcant. From this it appears that
the pension roll has substantially
doubled since a quarter Of century
after the close OF the war.
In 1890, twenty-five years after
the war closed, the number of pen
sioners on the roll was 1884 At
the close of the current fiscal year
the number on the roll will approx
mate $4,000, an increase of nearly
80 per cent since 1890. In that time
the value of the roll has increased
from $72,O52,143.49 in 1890 to
approximately S132,OOO,OOO in the
present fiscal year.
1.-The roll is now larger than at
any former time, notwithstanding
that thirty-three years have elapsed
since the cessation of hostilities. It
contained about $500 more pen
sioners in 1897 than it did in 1896
and approximately 10000 more in
1898 than in 1897, and the value of
the roll has also increased in the
same period.
