It is estimated that f,000 jiersons, men women and child ren, are in need of immediate aid. There are two classes of pensioners that should be dropped as quickly as pos sible. One is the fraud who got his pen sion by manufactured testimony and who never should have lieen given one and the other is the thrifty and propter ous citizen who draws a pension to which he is technically entitled, but which he d)es not need. The ordinary citizen should not le taxed for the tienetit of either of them and the- should lie tired from the (tension rolls without ceremony Augcst 7, 1S'.3, will be an eventful date in the history of nations. The two supreme legislative lodies of the two greatest countries on the glole will lie in session and engaged in the most im porta nt business. The British Parlia ment has fixed ujxjn the date to receive from committee the home rule bill, en dowing Ireland with self government and the Congress of the United States meets it special session to secure to G3, 000,000 people a currency that shall command the confidence of ourselves and the world which is really to lay the track on which civilization may the tet ter run. The circulation statement issued bv the treasury department shows that th amount of gold and silver coin and cer titicates, United States notes and nation at bank notes in circulation, August 1 was tl, fll, OS'.l, 017, an increase durin the month of July of f 17,327,(UV. The increase during the last twelve months was in round figures ?'..000,0(X). The t capita circulation, based on an es timated population of l'7,oV,C,000, Au gust 1, was f 2-1. 02. Of the 2,123,0tS, t')4'.l of the general stock of money issued the amount as stated is in circulation leaving t512,Sfl,fi32 in the treasury of the Uuited States on August 1. A st RPRisixu discovery has lieen made by Pension Commissioner Lochren. It', pensioueis, all of whom were employees of the Pension Bureau, had their pensions rerated during Corporal Tanner's regime. The act was so flagrant that Secretary Noble declared the re-ratings illegal, and ordered them to lie rescinded. It now apjieurs that neither Tanner nor his suc cessor (Rauni) paid the slightest atten tion to the Secretary's orders, and that these pensions have since leen paid at the higher and illegal rate. It is not likely that the sums thus filched from Uncle Sam can lie recovered. All that is possible now is to suspeud further pay ments. Some of the Speculators, how evera are still in the employ of the Pen sion Bureau, and they should be prompt ly drummed out of the service which they have disgraced. Al l that is required at the extra ses sion of Congress says, the Philadelphia lieutnl, is to repeal the first section of the Sherman law, which directs the Sec retary of the Treasury to purchase, from time to time, silver bullion to the amount of 4,501,000 ounces, or so much thereof as may le offered in each month at the market price, and to issue in pay ment for such purchase of silver bullion Treasury notes of the United States. This is the only amendment to the law that is needed or desired at present by the friends of honest currency. It ought not to take them thirty days to fully discuss and repeal the first seo tion of the Sherman act. Congress could then adjourn, after the lerform ance of so valuable a service to the coun try, and return to Washington on the first Monday in DecemU-r to disc harge the regular business of legislation. There can le no excuse for dallying or delay over the urgent tusiiMa for which atlas extra seiou has been called. In speaking of the wonderful advance the price of hay, a Philadelphia cor respondent of the Lancaster Inquirer says: A year ago it was selliug at about f!5pertoa. So rapid has leen the ad vance that $2 pf r ton has lieen added to the price during the past ten days, while the present market price for cliice to ancy baled hay along the Atlantic sea card ranges from 20 to 23 i-r ton. The same .juality f baled bay is selling in lireat Britain at' $'." and more ier ton and it is hard to get even at tin; prices. This is due to the short crops in England, France, Austria- and l.ermany. This is the first time in many years that Ku rope has lieen compelled to ask this ountry for such a large smount of hay, and it is the first time in the history of America that hay has U-en exported to it-rmany. Few ix'ople reali.e what an enormous busine-S the hay trade is. ine mj appreciate the imjK.rtance of "King Cotton," and when Uiey near occhmwhi- ly that some prominent broker has lieen wrecked in a wheat comer, they con clude that much money is made and lst in that cereal, but the hay trade is con sidered "small potato.,, ror sucn readers it may le well to state that hay tl.u . l.if r.n. in the I'nited Slates, as Id v . . . - - - - i far as its money value is concerneu, ami that it long ago distanced "King Cot ton," for many years the leading crop. and now stands without a rival. 1 he latift official figures obtainable show that the area devoted to hay cultivation is .SS.o'.il.'AM acres, the annual crop amounting to 4o,04."i,0V4 tons, amount ing in value to $40S,4y'.,5o. This is far in excess of any other crop. The director of the mint has published tati.tics showing the "amount of mon ey in the world. rrom his table it is learned that France stands at the head, holding 1, 500,000,000 in coin, besides $.1,(100,000 in uncovered notes, making $40.5t per capita. Leaving out such small countries as Holland, Belgium, Cuba, etc., the United States comes next of the nations with $25.15 per head as against 18.42 which suHiciently supplies the wants of great Britain. It is indeed strange that the enormous commerce of Great Britain can be sufficiently accom modated with such a moderate sum which differs by a few cents from the 17.72 which is the quota of Spain Confidence is a plant of 6low growth and does not thrive in any soil where revolu tionary projects in financial legislation are leiDg hatched. On the other hand with cheerful confidence and a high standard of commercial morality it is amazing how small a quantity of metal either white or yellow, is required for all the mercantile transactions of a great nation, as we may see by the English returns just noted where coin is but a mere fraction of the total of things do ing the work of the currency. Checks are much more in use here than in Eng land, and it would thus seem that our financial ills are caused by something besides a lack of sufficient money "per capita." The prospect of a war between France and Siam which threatened all Eurojie has lieen averted by the latter country submitting to the demands of the form er. Siam is a country alout which but little was known by oureople, until the opening of the present ditliculties U tween that country and France. It is, however, a kingdom of some consequence, occupying the -en insula known as Indo-China, or further India, and having an area of alxiut three hun dred thousand square miles and a pop ulation of six million sou Is, one fourth of whom are Chinese. The capital and chief city is Bangkok, with half a mil It u inhabitants, which is situated on the Monam river alxiut twenty miles from where it empties into the Gulf of Siam. This river, like the Nile, over flows its banks yearly, thus enriching the land by alluvial deposits. Hice is the chief product and forms two thirds of all the country's exports; sugar, jx p per, cotton, and hemp are other pro ducts. In the abundance, variety, and excellence of fruits, vegetables, and spices, Siam is unsurpassed by any country in the world. Only sixty-eight icebergs have found their way from Arctic waters to the Gulf Stream this year, against 17'. " floaters" that were rejorted last year. Gorman scientists believe that this diminished quantity of floating ice has had a deci ded effect not only upon the temferature f the Gulf Stream, but upon the climate of Europe. Those savants attached to the Gotha Institution have sent to our Naval Hydrographic Office some inter esting forecasts, prepared from data which the Hydrographic Office had sent them. The Gotha geographers predict a summer and autumn his year similar to that of last year. There will le, they say, an insufficient rainfall in the au tumn and a severely cold winter. The prediction is at too long range to poses any practical value upon this side of the Atlantic; but it is worth noting in order to determine how far the Gotha theory may be borne out by results. In 1S5( the United States produced 4. 3 bushels of wheat for each unit of the population. In IStiO the quantity grown was equal to 5.5 bushels per capiu. In 1S70 it was equal to C. 1 bushels, and in 1880 had increased to 1.9 bushels: yet in 1889 it declined to 7.7. bushels, and in 1893 is likely to fall below 5.C bushels per capita. If such is the result of this year's harvest, it will no more than meet domestic requirements, and the exports we make must lie derived front the large stocks now in store from last year's trope. It is estimated that the each crop the coming season will reach 50,000,000 lucskets. The estimate exceeds those of 1891, which was considered an excellent year, the shipment then being about 3,000,000 Uskets. The present esti mate includes state of Delaware and the Maryland portion of the peninsula. Wu!tUiisrtn Letter. WAS1IIN..TON-, D. C. July 29, 1893. Secretary Carlisle is the only incmU-r of the cabinet at present in Washington, and ke has Urn con lined to hi house for several days this week by iheumatisin, but next week President Cleveland, ami the other iiicinU rs of the cabinet will U here, as tiny have Uen notified that the President wi.-hes to submit the first draft of his message to Coiigrcs-s to them and have a f.ill and free discuion of its contents lief ore it is finally c m pleted. Attempts are numerous at trying to guess the nature of the President's com ing message, but it is nonsent-e for any outside of the cabinet and a few close iersoiial friends of Mr. Cleveland and they won't talk aUiut it to pretend to know. The mere fact that he will send another message to Congress at the o(Hning of the regular session, even should the extra session remain in ses sion until then, and tin; general U lief is that it will, make it presumable that his message to the extra sion will le confined to what it wascall-d to legislate upon finance. And if this pres-u nipt ion tie correct it will not indicate any change of oninion as to the necessity for tariff and other reforms advocated by the Deni- 1 ocrat party during the last campaign. Merely that circumstance have made it necessary to take up finance lin-t. Speaking of reform, Cointiii.-.-ioiier I ah-h ren is goiugright ahead in the I programme inapHil out lor the reior- malion. oi me jk'umoii ron, iiomuu Standing the bowl that is iK-mg raised by a few Congressmen who e o nir-litu- ents have in-en susiwiided. It has al ready Urn discovered that, in addition to the large imiiiU-r of ieiiions granted under the last administration without proper examination of the applicant and his pajiers, there were thousands granted illegally, knowingly and wilfully. Only those granted under the act of s.mi have yet U-en examined and no others can Ui taken up for a long time. The suspen sions up to date iiumU-r nearly il.OOO, aud if the same average U kept up in the entire 370,OnO jn-nsions granted un. der that law the total nuinU-r of u.-.-jx'nsions will be something like 75,kmi. The examination is very thorough and systematic and only those cases showing clearly some irregularity or doubt of the right of the pensioner to receive the amount he has U-en getting are suspend ed , and few, if any, of those who get re stored to the roll upon a re examination will get as large a tension as they have been receiving. "Senator Gorman," remarked a friend of the man who has pioven his right by his ability on many occasions to be classed as a Democratic leader, "never announces through the news papers his future jxilitical intentions, anil that fact is so well known that he very seldom tak-s the trouble to contra dict the newsjpaiHT stories which app ars from time to time purporting to give in detail what he intends to do in case this or that hapiens. in the Senate. It i safe to say, however, that his future ac tions, like those of the past, will always le such as will meet the approval of a majority of good I leinocrats, and to S:iy also that any advance announcements of them which may appear may always beset down as merely guessi-s." One of the most encouraging signs to those who expect financial relief from the legislation of the extra session is the fact that, while most of the 1 einoeratic Senators and llepresentativcs have ideas of their own as to the legislation needed, a majority of them express themselve as w illiug to hear the arguments of those who advocate other ideas, and to U' open to conviction if the other fellow's argument be the U'st. If this feeling be shared by a majority of the Democrats in both House and Senate the dillicu'ty of reaching some satisfactory basis of compromise will U- greatly lessened. But its going to take time to bring aUiiit that result, and wi.-e people will not e. K'ct immediate Congressional action on this important subject. Good legislation is better than hurried legislation, and 1 have yet to find the first Democrat who d-s not firmly 1-elieVe that good legisla tion w ill be one of the certainties of the Fifty -third Congress.

A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows oa the face of the glote. We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to traJe on the good name of the Ouvtu. Look out for imitations, buy omy the genuine Oliver plows and repairs, and be sure you are right befoie you take the plow home. l"Once more iieware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chili f.u Plow Wuus, South Bend, Indiana. , - . ...I The Deerin Junior Stocl liinder ami Deerin Pony Bimler i ix sTih:xirn : f .v )';. itit.iw leaisj ix i. m h i x : r m :; . v nr.T.i Mtii.n v. i ix Linnri:ssurin:A ft: ix i: .Vf w v.
