Toronto Star. The report of the Commissioner of Pensions in the United States for the year-ended June 30th last states that the sum paid out in that year was $162,000,000, the largest yet paid in any year for pensions, which form the heaviest: item of . expenditure on the national balance sheet of the States. The figures are truly formid- able, the total pension roll coptain- ing 946,194 names. The increased ex- penditure is explained by the fact that while the natural decrease of the pen- sions has been proceeding rapidly, congress has been %till more rapidly widening the qualifications constitut- ing the right to a pension and rais- ing the rate of bay. It is calculated that up to the present about $4,000,000,000 has been paid in pensions in the United States, a large proportion of this huge total going into the pockets of those who have no need of help. Yet in the gen- eral cry for ecomomy, no political leader in either party has yet bgen found to advocaté a reduction of the pension list. Pensions have proved a mainstay of the high tariff of United States; in recognition of this fact, the London Spectator some weeks ago, after setting forth the figures available in regard to the colossal amounts paid out of the added "'English papers of all opinions please copy."
