rapid from year to year In 1906 there
were 1851 pensioners, and last year
967,371 were on the lists.
From 1866 to 1904 the army of pen

993,529. The average was practically
at standstill from 1900 until two
years ago, when there was a loss Of
$4,000.
Since 1866. Uncle Sam has paid out
in pensions $500, 900, 900. This is al

years the total pension payments have
been about $14O.000,0OO, more than
the annual expense bill of the navy,

This question is constantly being
asked by clerks and others in the en-
ploy OF the government. 1t is recalled
that at the last congress the salaries
of the cabinet officers were increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum
The government clerks contend that
their salaries are too small, and that,
as the cost of living has advanced,
they should be accorded the same con-
sideration given cabinet officials and
congressman.
The clerks are not the only ones
who are grumbling at the apparent
disinclination on the part of the gov

superiors also are said to be In favor

MOT since 1898 has the total United
~ States pensioners been SO low as
1t is at present. This fact is made
known in report by the commission
er of pensions, recently issued, and
the report shows that steady decline
has set in, death cutting heavily into
the ranks in the last year. The 1908
total is 9516S7. and 1t was said that
in all probability this will shrink to
100000 within another year.
Four years ago the high water mark
in pensions was reached. For few
days in August, 1904. there were more
than 100000 persons on the rolls.
These figures, however. do not appear
in the official reports, as the official
