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.
