TO PENSIONERS
Who Draw Less than Sl2 per
Month.

There is no question that conditions are
favorable at this time for asking an in
creased expenditure for pensions. The
war is now so long past that it is to-day
taking the aspect in the minds of the
people as the Nations Great Heroic
Period, in which they take a warm patri-
otic pride, with affection and admiration
for the aging survivors of the Nations
armies in that period of Storm and Stress.
The country is prosperous-so prosper
Gus that there is actually and continually
an embarrassing congestion of money in
the Treasury.
All that is necessary IS to set forth
for the men to whom it owes all of its
present greatness ana prosperity, and to
bring this convincingly to the peoples
minds. Their quick sense of justice and
gratitude will not fail to Immediately re-
spond, and Congress will be ready to obey
the demands of public sentiment.
We need not enlarge here on the general
benefit of pension expenditure. Our readers
know this. Read the editorials that ap-
pear in this paper from week to week and
then consider what public sentiment would
be on the subject if the reading and think
ing people of every community were in
duced to subcribe for and read The Ma
tional Tribune.
| The fact is public sentiment would then
be as eager for an increase of pensions as
ppnsioners themselves
The surest and best reliance is to be
found in strong public sentiment. Rail
roads and Trusts have their Hobbies and
high priced attorneys. The men who
saved the country have no need to proceed
in that way.
AS first step Congress will be asked
to raise all pensions to S12. This would
increase the present pension expenditure
only few Millions small sum for a
Congress that will probably allow appro-
priations to the extent Of a thousand mil
lions.
! There is simply one best way to create
the public sentiment that is so essential:
Circulate The National Tribune. Every
pensioner whom this measure would bene-
fit should become an active club-raiser.
There is no time to lose. Public senti-
ment is not created in a day. If the bill
for increase is to be presented early in
December-and it should be-the sooner
we get the public reading about the gen.
eral benefits of pensions and the Nations
duty to its veterans and their widows the
better.
Now. here is perfectly feasible plan
for an increase. 1t remains with the COM
rades interested, with each of them,
whether the plan will succeed. If each
pensioner interested will send in small
club, we feel sure of success. On the
other hand, if the majority of those whom
this measure would benefit do nothing, this
plan will fail. The widows are just as
much interested as the men, for they
would be quite as much benefited.
We have no doubt whatever, if each
pensioner interested should subscribe, and
then each secure say four other subscrib-
ers, that this measure would be backed
by an overwhelming public sentiment.
Sharing of Profits, Treasury Receipts
and other matters of interest will be
found on the first page.

the more it promotes the productive power
of all. the larger may the public expendi-
ture become. both absolutely and relative
ly. On this basis the United States is, of
all nations, best able to afford large pub
lie disbursements, but this does not pre-
vent its exercise of the most rigid scrutiny
over them, at every point.
EXCESS OF ESTIMATES OVER APPROPRIA-
TONS.
The proclivity of the legislative depart
ment to cut down the appropriations from
the estimates of the executive, already re-
ferred to, is wildly shown by the follow
ing table:

In addition to this tremendous aggre-
gate we have paid out, of course, many
other millions in the numerous Indian
wars and i'll the recent conflicts in the
Philippines. Leaving these out, our five
great wars have been responsible for al
most precisely % per cent of the grand
total of the expenses of the Republic, from
its foundation until now-and no account
taken of the pensions and other payments
resulting from the wars.
But who will venture to assert that the
fruits of these contests have not, in every
case, been worth the price?
THE GREATEST WEALTH AND THE SMALL
EST DEBT.
Notwithstanding these great expendi-
lures in prosecuting righteous wars. and
the further great expenditures in MAIN
tanning an army and navy in time of
peace, paying pensions etc, the United
States is now the wealthiest Nation on
earth The total wealth of the world is
estimated ut S400O00,0 100000. OF this
amount the United States. in 1902, had
S94.3OO. 100000, or nearly one-fourth.
Great Britain is the richest country in
Europe, with property and money amount
ing to S59,0O0,OG0,0O0, or to 81 ,442 per
person. France is the next richest nation
of Europe with 5000. OOO. 600 in money
and property, or S1,257 per person, and
with SG,O00,G0O,O0O more lent in Europe.
Asia, America and Africa. Germany s
wealth is $4,000. 600, 900, or STO9 per per-
son, with $SO00,000,0OO more lent or in
vested abroad.
The United States has wealth of ST.
23., per person. Australia has 81 .229.
Denmark S1,105, Canada $3.50, and Hol-
land SS1S per person. Among all the ma
tons the percentage of debt to wealth is
lowest in the United States. The British
debt per person is $50, the French S14S,
the German $50, the Russian SD, the
Canadian $40, while the debt per person
in the United States is only So

the United States leads all other nations.
Great Britain comes next with $4,000

Russia with S32.000.0OO. 600. Our Ma

France S571S.3G0. 1873 and that of Ger
