Th3 Dalles Daily Chfcciels. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. One week $ 15 One month ; .... 50 One year 6 00 WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 17, 1898 COST OF THE WAR. the accountants cf the treasury; department have made op a state ment of . the expenditure! ot the army and navy for the three months of May, June and July. Those figures amount, in round numbers, to $100,000,000. On the surface this statement in dicates that the war might continue a year and cost a great deal less than half a billion. As a matter of fact, the actual cost for a year of such a vtar as we have been waging would "be far more than a billion dollars. The term expenditures falls far short of including all expenses. In other. words, current war expenses are only a part of the cost of a war. Our civil war lasted four years. The amount raised by taxation or borrowed upon the credit of the na tion was $3,348,372,904. Add to this the interest already paid on gov ernment bonds and the pensions paid, and the grand total is not far from eight billions. To these figures may be added the loss in productive labor due to the absence of the sol diers from their usual occupations and other incidental items, and the actual ultimate cost of the civil war would be at least ten billions. All this, too, without Including the cost to the South. War, whether a lux ury or a necessity of life, is the most costly of all human purchases. It peace should be established at once and maintained unbroken there would still be vast current war ex penditures besides the still greater ultimate expenses. It is not extrav agant to estimate the minimum cost to the United States of this war at one billion dollars. A sum involving nine ciphers is no small matter. What shall be our indemnification? This country wants no money inderanit3 It is all very well for Germany to exact cash from Franco in addition to Alsace and Lorraine, for those provinces had been stolen from Germany by France, and, from the Berlin point of view, were not in reality a part of the in demnity. But Spain is poor and the United State3 is rich. The impov erished Spanish people will be taxed lo the utmost limit of endurance to meet the cost of their own govern ment and its fixed charges. But Spain has a group of islands in the far. Orient which may serve as a good, fair indemnity. To take this group as ihe equivalent of one billion dollars would be certainly far from greed or extortion. Porto Rico may be said to indem nify us for the loss of the Maine. All the territorj' over which the flag of Spain ever waved would not atone for the killing of our marines who were aboard the battleship on the night it wa3 destroyed, but for the property loss Porto Rico may be set down as just about a fair indemnity. All things considered, the Philip pines, with one of the Ladrones, would serve to indemnify us for the general cost of the war. Anything 6hort of that indemnity would ' be inadequate. It would be well for the persons now calling on the government to scuttle out of the Philippines to tell . why this nation, in their opinion, should virtually make Spain a pres ent of a billion dollars. It would also be well for them to seek at once for the reasons we oould give pos terity for viewing such reckless prod igality as mere 'generosity." . A few months ago the news that England was forming a naval vol unteer brigade on the Pacific coast, would have at once aroused the jingo press in this country, and an effort would have been made to 6how that she was contemplating an attack on America. .In the light of'the new relations between Great Britain and the United States the news will at tract little attention in this country.
