WOBK OF THE BDttBAU.
There were received 2 698,000 letters
during tbe year, aa enormous Increase ever
previous years, an average of 221,833 letters
par month, or 8,093 per working day.
Ninety four thousand four hundred and
ninety eight Utters were reeelved from
members et Cengrees alone. The total num
ber el lettera sent out was 1,836,182 Many
Inquiries were answered by tbe Issuance
el pension certificates or by printed olrou elrou olreu

found te be sulllelent te answer several In
quiries lu tbe aame claim.
There were filed during the year 47,840
applications for original pension, 11,789
widows, 2,785 minera, 2 110 dependent
mothers and 1 833 dependent fathers, mak
ing a total of 05,704. The highest number
of oil lma en account of the late war was
reeelved from Ohie, Indiana followed next
then New Yerk and Pennsylvania, and
from Mentana, Utah and Beuth Carolina
none were received.
The adjutant general of the army re
moved 1,110 charges of desertion from the
military records of tbe volunteer soldiers of
tbe late war. Five hundred and twenty
eight of thta number referred te pending
pension claims. Op te June 33th last
26 681 claims were filed under tbe Mexican
pension act, 10,783 being survivors and
6.793 widows. AH completed cases of this
date, 16629 survivors and 6,105 wldewa
cases, have been allowed, f he rejections
were 2321 aurvlvera and 601 widows'
claims, mainly because tbe applicants had
net arrived at tbe required age of 02 yeara.
Forty-five of these applications were con
solidated with claims already filed under
ether laws. Of these Mexican claims but
14892 were unsettled en tbe 80th of June,
tbe evidence filed being Insufficient
Tbe work of the beirds et review and re
review la praoUeally up te date. Tbe army
and navy aurvlvera' division has completed
Its roster et medical officers of tbe late
war, containing the names, service and
'poatefflee address of ever ten thousand
volunteer army surgeons, record which
la Invaluable in enabling elalmanta te
obtain the neeeasary evidence. The
prisoner of war records and field and gen
eral hospital reoerds are alae well ad
vanced. The law division has submitted 170 cases
te tbe department of Justice for prosecu
tion 60 ler cfienaes by attorneys and 110
for eltanses by ethxr persona. Ol this
number six hae been acquitted and four
Ignored by grand juries, leaving 160 await
ing trlaL Tbe spirit et the bureau la no
oemprom Ise with these who wilfully violate
tbe pension law and no proseeutlon of these
who alnned through ignorance and who are
willing te make restitution when the aame
la demanded of them. Fifteen thousand,
three hundred and thirty dollars et Illegal
fees have been recovered ana reiunaea ie
the pensioners Interested. By tbe opera
tion of tbe medical Division tbe number
of rates haa been decreased from 151 te 103.
The highest rste paid under tbe general
law was 172 per month; tbe lowest was f 2
per month. Allowances by special acts of
Congress range from (10 te (410 08 per
moo lb. An Important feature et the re
port et the medleal referee Is a tabulated
atatement of dlssbllltles for which pentlena
have been granted.
The average number of seeclal examl
ners in the field was 241 ; the number of
reports submitted 32,781, containing 162,054

cial examiners submitted an average et
eleven reports and 66 depositions per
month, at a cost of f 12 40 pur report; an
Increase of nearly one half rtpirt per man ,
and a decrease in the oest of 25 per cent
Notwithstanding the success el this d.
vision, 17,760 casea are awaiting examina
tion ; an average of 67 easea per examiner.
The commissioner was foreed te furlough
153 special examiners In June, the appre
priatiens naving eeen exnausiee.
Over 85 per eent el all pensioners are
paid by the pension agenta within ten daya
after the quarterly payment Is due, and
payment cannot be made mere rapidly
Without multiplying tbe agencies. One
hundred thousand casea et Increase of
Knalen, under recent legislation, have
en aettled without expense or delay te
the pensioners.

commanders of the varleua military depart

tbat, after examination, tbey would auumlt

Injury te the Aaaerleaa People,
About 600 people assembled at Washing
ton borough, en Thursday Bight, te bear a
Joint tariff debate between Meeera, D. F.
Magee, et White Reck.aud Jean H. Lsadk,
of Maner township. There would nave
been a mueh larger crowd if aotlee et tbe
meeting bad been given sooner and the
bills mere widely circulated, but these
present wera se well pleased that they
voted unanimously for a prolongation et
the contest beyond tbe time fixed.
Tbe debate waa en the following resolu reselu resolu
teon: Bttelvtd, Tbat any material reduction In
our protective tar in would be an Injury te
the American people.
Kaeb et the contestants hsd three speeches
et twenty minutes each, Mr. Landls open
ing the debate. He repeated the well
known and badly-worn argument et bis
party that our prosperity under high tatifl
warrants Its oentlnuanoe, and selecting a
numberef Industries he showed bow they
had teen built up under protection. He re
ferred te the period from 1850 te I860, when
the term was at Its lowest, and quoted
from President Buchanan te abew the evil
Influence el this condition. Squire
Magee replied that Buebanan spoke
aa quoted In 1861 at the end et
the period, and .proceeded te auew
fiat in tbe decade selected by Mr. Landls
our manufactured products showed a net
Inerease et 85 per oent Frem 1800 te 1870
under a high tarlfi the gain waa only 64
per eent, and from 1870 te 1880
only 67 per eent; se that tbe time
eeleeted by Mr. Ltndls as giving the
best Illustration of the evlls of low taxes
wss by far the beat for our manufacturing
development Mr. Landla then endeavored
te show bow the manufacture of oarbello
acid, atarcb, tar, Aa, bad been made possi
ble by the tariff, and went en te argue that
all wagea bed been raised by protec
tion ; but 'flqutre Maaee waa resdy
with a maw of statistics from offi
cial reports showing tbst the high tarlfls
of Germany, Mexloe and ether nations are
accompanied by lower wagee than are
found In England, and that wagea In
America vary according te the productive
capacity of the banda. Colored labor In
parts et the Seuth earns but 82 a week. The
advantage of the American laborer was
shown te be due net te high tarlfi but te
greater productive capacity and the widely
different conditions surrounding bim. If
due te high tariff why are net wages high In
Mexloe snd Germany f
At the opening of tbe discussion Mr. Ma
gee laid down a 810 bill and announeed tbat
he would give It te anyone wbe would de
teet an error In bis figures. He said that
all his facta were taken from ofnelal reperta
and the census. His opponent bad evidently
depended upon the campaign literature sent
out by bla party committee, and as a
result be waa several times badly tripped
up by Mr. Magee. He ssld In
one of bis orsterloal flights that "tens of
hundreds, yes tens et theussnds of men
were employed In the sslt Industry." Mr.
Magee arose with the solid fact tbat the
number et men employed was exactly 4,623.
He made a similar blunder In tbe pottery
manufacturers, Mr. Magee showing that
the number el workers was really email.
On every point taken the statesman was
easily defeated by the squire and Landla
subsequently confessed bla defeat, and said
that he would bav9 te pest himself before
he again ventured te argue with Mr. Magee.
At the oenoluslon et the debate a proposal
for three oheera for Cleveland, Tburman
and the MUls bill wss received with three
reusing cheers, snd there was net even a
shout for high tariff and Lindls.
There waa the best of feeling between the
men of varleua parties present snd all
seemed anxious te see fair play and bear an
open and equal discussion of the issues.
Many Republicans present, who bad been
reading only the papers of their party, were
astonished at the atrength et the Demo
cratic side et the cese.
Messrs. Magee and Landls will bold
another joint debate at Christiana en Mon
day nigh Vend they are alae arranging for a
meeting at Mount Jey.
Arrangements bave been made between
D. F. Magee and Jehn H. Landla for
tariff discussions at Marietta en Tuesdsy,
