Comparison of Penelon Bolls. The President and others who op­ pose pensions lay most stress upon tbe fact that tho amount paid by the United States for pensions greatly ex­ ceeds similar expenditures by other Nations. We have all alorg insisted that these comparisons were ot no 'value whatever, for the reason that no <otber country ever put such an army in the field, none ever required such a length ef continuous service at tbe front, none ever fought so many and such bloody battles in the same space of time, and none required such great pecuniary and other sacrifices from its citizen-soldiers to preserve its life aud assure its prosperity* Bu: when we come to make the actual comparison, invited by the President and his supporters, of the size of our pension roll with that of other Nations, we do not find the enormous discrepancies which they assert exist. Let us take the pension expenditures of Great Britian, fer ex­ ample. These are grouped in the armv budget under the head "Non­ effective Service," and last year were made up of the following items: Rewards for military service 97,000 Pay of general officers .... 308,500 Pay of reduced and retired officers... 5,937,000 Widows' pensions and compassionate ding Coi imittees tie th The foilowiog snade by tbe Board, to-wlt: On lands--G. Mi Garrteott, Samuel Cutter, P, K. Granger, R. J. Beck, :L. Woodard. allowances Pensions for wounds In-pent-ions Out-penalons. Superannuation allowances..., ... Militia and volunteer pensions 648,500 . 84,500 . 161,000 . 6,860,500 . M0,000 . 254,500 .15.381,500 Total Tbe yearly value of the pension roll of the United States is about $44,000.- 090. Whatever more than that is paid is tbe payment of whit was due years ago, but owing to the Government's methods of stavins: ofl settlement has not been paid until now. So it appears that England, whose army only numbers 136,000, and who for 32 years has not had a war of more magnitude than our Indian tronbles, is paying about one-third as much every year as we do. Tbis does not tell the story. A large part of this pension expenditure is en account ot the Crimean war, and yet there were not so ma-iy British men killed in the whale Crimean war as the Union army lost in a single great battle. There was not a single three months or tbe years 1862-3-4 that the Union army did not do more bard fighting and lose more men than the British army Irom its landing at the Of Kupatoria Sept. 14. 1854, until it re- embarked in tbe Autumn of 1856.
