The Now York Sun i'ni cs tlio quus-

niTny of figures nnd ilnivvs Intcicsttng
conluslons ; thprofrom.
This interesting ( [ Hcstlon , says tlio
Sun , often risked nnd never But-
isfnetot'llj' nnavvcrcil , coinca before
us once more. A conventional
formula frequently employed by loose
Bpoakcrs and writers , is tlmt the war of
the rebellion cost the north n million
lives nnd n billion of treasure. The
Htntemont is grossly inaccurate nt both
ends. The estimate of mortality is ex
cessive , while the ostlnmto of money ox-
pcnditiuo is ridiculously inadequate.
The popular idea that 1,000,000 sol
diers of the union lost their lives during
the war , or dlicctly in consequence of
the vvnr , in encouraged by nmny persons
who know bettor , because it suggests
Biioh exaggerated notions of the magni
tude of the struggle and of the number
of men actually engaged in military op
erations in the northern armies , as to
iifTord nn argument oro.\ouno for n pon-
nion system in which extravagance and
dishonesty lind plenty of room. Tlio
number of ofTicers and inon actually
killed in battle in all of the union armies
during the four years of war barely ox-
recds (10.000. ( The number of those who
died of wonndii during the war is less
than .Ti.OOO. The number that died of
diseases , either resulting fiom tnohard-
bhips and exposure of warfare or the in
cident of natural mortality in a great
body of men is about ISTi.OOO for the four
years. Adeline oven the 21,000 , cases of
disappearance , conveniently charged in
the records to death "from unknown
causes , " the total of mortality among
the union troops during the war Is . ' 104-
000 , or loss than n third of the 1 , 000,000 ,
supposed by many people to huvo poi-
ishcd on the battlefield.
The purpose of tlio present article is
to put together some of the items of ox-
pondituio and loss clearly and directly
uhargeablo to the v\ar account : in other
wouls , to establish a minimum estimate
of the money cost of preserving the
union. If wo were to go into the matter
of consequential damages , such as the
paral.VHJs of certain branches of business ,
the suspension of trailo with the .south
ern states , the extinction of n great part
of our maritime commerce , the enormous
loss icsulting from the finest of the
normal increase of population nnd the
peaceful development of the nation's re
sources , wo should puss nt once fiom
the domain of precise aiithmetic to
thnt of vague conjectmo nnd un
verified speculation. This is not our
intention. The ligures presented below
are only such as are ntlorded by the olH-
cial records ; or , whore in the nature of
thififtH the amounts set down are mcio
estimates , the fact is stated , and cato is
taken that the estimates shall bo mani
festly well within the bounds ! The sev-
arnl classes of expenditure or direct loss
to be considered are :
1. The oiincnt war expenses paid dur
ing the four j ears by the United States
Government with money i aised by taxa
tion or borrowed upon the nation's el edit.
2. The bounties paid to the voluntceis
din-ing the war by the states , or fiom
other sources than the federal govern
ment >
'J. The money raised nnd expended by
organisations of citircns for the allevia
tion of the soldior.s' condition.
4. The direct loss to the nation's
wealth resulting from the employment
in military service of eituoiibvvlio other
wise would have bconiproducei.s.
6. The war claims paid by act of con
gress since the war for the destruction
_ f > t pi operty or for other reasons.
( I. The Interest on the war debt feinco
181)5 ) ui ] to the prc.scnt time.
7. The oxpondituio for pensions to
date.
The actual current war expend ituio
during the four fihcal yoais from Juno
IIO. 18(11 ( , to Juno ; JO , 180.-I. is easily ascer
tained. The not ordinary expend ! tin o
of the government during that period
was us follows :

Total . J3,348a72,004
But this includes what the govern
ment would have spent if theio had been
no war. To hopniato the two items wo
have only to deduct as much as was
actually spent for all purpohcs of tlio
government during the period of four
years immediately preceding the war.
If it Is said that under normal circiim-
btanees the country's growth would have
Increased the ordinary expenditure for
1802-1803 over that for the J8o8-1802 per
iod , it must be remembered that this
possible increase was raoio than bal
anced by the testriction of the Held of
administration during tlio second period
to the northein and border states :

The totals of local bounties paid to
the BOVOI al states to 1111 their quotas
under the calls of Ib03 , 1804 und 18(15 ( are
obtained from the loport for 18WI of
Provost Marshal General James B. Kry ,
whobo olllcial contributions to the sta
tistical history of the war of the rebel
lion are of inestimable value. Wo omit
from consideration any account of the
money paid by states or towns or Indi
viduals over and above the amount 10-
funded from the United Htatos treasury
for the creditable equipment of
the troops sent to the ft out. The
total would bo very largo , but it is
piaetically indeterminable. Much of
the local bounty money was wasted on
bcoundiels , but it was expended , never
theless , and it belongs in this account.
Ono desperate character who was con
victed and sentenced to the Albany pen
itentiary confessed that no had drawn
and jumped the bounty not less than
thirty-two times. The amount thus
paid from the beginning to the end of
the war in the loyal states or groups of

Tlitoughout the north during the war
there vvuro not less than 7,000 , local asso
ciations ol patriotic inon and women
contributing money , tlmo , nnd articles
of every description to promote the well-
being ot the soldiers lighting at the
front or to add to their comfort. He-

regiment at his own oxpunso or gave a
steamship to Lincoln's government , can
never bo computed. When vvo set It
down at JJO,000,000 for the purposes of
thN Inquiry , vvo nro making a very low
estimate.
A largo Item properly belonging to
the cost of the war Is the loss to produc
tive industry of the tlmo and labor of
the oiti/eiis who enlisted In the army.
Tins item is approximately nscortaina-
bio. Tlio number of volunteers In serv
ice at the various times designated Is
shown by this table :

Avernge. . . . . 847,701
If vvo take 847,701 , ns the average num
ber of men in the union armies during
the war , and estimate the earning ca
pacity of the average soldier at $ . ' 100 a
i ear above the cost of his o\v n subsist-
enpo , the direct leas occasioned by the
( livai'bion from productive- unproduc
tive labor would amount to $2. * > 4U0,300 , !
a year , or , for the four vetirs of the v\ar
period , to $1,01".M1.200.
It would bo the work of a lifetime to
cipher out the vvholo amount paid since
the war. under general or spc'cial acts of
congress , in compensation for theioal or
alleged destruction of property , or for
'
war supplies bui/ed or furnisho'd , or for
indemnity for loss of personal ortoets , or
for b.ick pay or bounty of volunteers ,
or for hoi sos or mures lost , or for the re
imbursement of states or minor civil
divisions for c\pcndituio3 necessitated
by the war , or in any other of the c junt-
less ways in which the war still draws
upon the tieasury. For thirty yeats the
investigation of those war claims pic-
liminniy to the appropriation of mono }
for their payment has constituted
u largo and exacting pat t of the , labors
of congi ess ; nnd , in tlio later years , of
tlio couit of claims. The items , gi eat
and small , which would have to bo con
sidered ono by one in any attempt at
exact ascertainment of the total , are al
most inlinito in number. They aio scat-
teicd through the treasury books in
multitudinous sliapeb. They ate con
tained in the army and navy appropri
ation bills , in the sundry civil , in the
miscellaneous , in tlio deficiency and
olbowhoto. Our estimate of the'grand
aggregate of these appropriations is 011-
tiiely arbitrary. Supposing that the war
claims allowed and paid by the govern
ment since 1805 have averaged onlv
$5,000,000 a jear. the total would be
$140,000,000. This is Iho sum which wo
charge to this item ; if it were doubled ,
wo should consider that wo were still
well within the bounds of probability.
The inteie'.t paid on the vvnr debt can
be stated accurately. The gradually
decreasing annual payments on this ac
count befoto the fiscal year 1800 , are in
cluded in the net 01 dinurj expenses
'
as shown above. Since 1805'tboy have

The pension e.xpendituto on account of
of the war of the rebellion has been in
creasing as steadily as the interest
charge has diminished. Tlio annual
totals , as stated below , include pensions
paid on account of the Mexican war and
the earlier wars , and wo have therefore
made a deduction for the samo. As Mex

Those llgnres stagger the imagination.
Like all symbols for quantities so stupen
deus as to bu far beyond the accustomed
range of thought , they go from the eye
to the bruin without producing immedi
ately un elTcct adequate to their mathu-
niatnical Importance. Ono million con
voys the idea of vastness , 1,000,000,000
or a thousand millions conveys the idea
of something vastly vaster ; but the dif >
foronco between 1,000,000,000-and 8,000- ,
000,000 is appreciated slowly , and only
by an indirect process. What does it
really mean , then , when wo bay that tlio
monev cost of the war to the north alone
was nearly $8,500,000,000 , ?
To raise money enough to pay the bill
in ono lump sum , every voter in the
United States would have to contribute
moro than $000. If the bunion were dis
tributed among the whole earth popula
tion , every human being , man , woman
or child , clvilUed or savage , liv
ing anywhere today on the face
of the globe , would bo taxed about $0.
If every gold or sihor coin or piece of
paper money uow ia circulation among
the 400,000,000 people of thffl country
and of England , Franco , Gormnmy ,
Austria , Holland , itnlVt Spain mid
HusMn should Iw fnthorcil In nnd
counted , tlio total value reduced to
United States money would cover only
three-quarters of our vvnr cost. Tlio
amount of money Indicated by the
figures , SS,42J,18o,017 , Is more thnn flvo
times the aggregate of the deposits In
the 3,077 national hanks of the United
Slates ! moro than flvo times the nfjfr.ro-
Rate of deposits in all of the savings
banks of the United Status ; moro than
eight times the agcrcgato of deposits in
all of the stnto hank" , trust companies ,
and private banking concerns in the
United States ; almost double the aggre
gate of deposits in all of these institu
tions combined.
Hut there is a simpler nnd still moro
striking method of arriving at the
significance of these figures. It cost the
north $8,425 , 185.017 to Keep the southern
states in the union. Uy the coiwus ol
I860 the estimated valuation true- valua
tion , not assessed of all property , ical
and personal , Iti these ulovcn states was
as follows :
Virginia . J 703i40oai !

nation has paid at least $ ,22 , 1,018,810 ,
uoro than the entire valuation of all
iroporty in tlioso eleven slates at the

"In a certain New York town , " says a
eommeicial travolo'1 , ' 'I once ran across
some artificial strawberries which wore
sold by a local grocer. After lie had
been selling them for a week a rival
giocor disco\cied that they wore all of
tlio fctuno H\io. \ A w hole quart might be
searched and tlieio would be no ono
berry larger or smaller than any other.
This excited suspicion , and close exam
ination showed that the alleged straw
berries were a inixtui e of apple jelly
colored with aniline dyes and Jlavoied
with straw berry essence. The molds
were perfect , and in each one of the ir
regularities timothy weed weio dropped ,
so that when the moss was poured in and
molded the seed stood out on the out
side , just as those in a real berry stood.
This looked so natural that the genuine
ness of the berries had not been ques
tioned. If the fellow had not made
them so largo and perfect ho might have
gone on fora long time without de
tection. "

In his weekly letter concealing the mon-
C . tary | situation"ilcnry Clews , the wall
tieot banker , sa\s !
' 'So far as respects the local machinery of
nance , there has been some Improve-
lent of conditions during the past vv cck.
ho further largo recovery of the surplus
escrvcs shown Iti the Innk statement of
ho 20th lust , has had n decidedly assur-
it ? effect. It meant that , from now until
ho usual fall demand for cuironcy for mov-
the crops , the rescives are likely to
land In an unusually strong position nnd
tlII hat , when that demand comes , tlio banks are
II Ikcly to bo well situated for meeting It.
1i 'ho general Inference from this Is that a
1n casonablo probability Is established for the
money market maintaining a fairly easy
c ondltlon henceforth and for tlio iciiialndcr
of the jcar.
3"Thls naturally has an assuring ofToc't , for
t favors the probability of holders of sound
ecurltles being able to sitlsfy all their bor
rowing wants on good terms for sovcial
nonths to come. The removal of doubt upon
his point Is nn Important pain , but It Is not
n euro all. There are certain doubtful factors
effecting the market , such as the caution
mil disability of operators after the Into
evero shock , the tactics ot the pessimist
ra.lcrs , the outcome In London of the great
\ustrallnn failuics , the paitinl dcpicssion
of business at homo , nnd the weak spots
among a class of Interior concerns.
Hard on tlio Stock .Market.
'Factors ' like these must have their influ
ence upon the stock market , and rmy bo ex-
iccted to check a speedy iccovory of prices.
Hut it would bo an exaggeration of their im-
tortanco to conclude that they legitimately
forbid ani advance beyond the present level
of values It Is to bo considered that prices
low range but llulo above the nanic level ;
.hat . the railroads are making peed earnings
ma are likely to continue to do so for some
nonths ahead ; that the competing supply
of now investments coming upon the
naikot Is far below the average anil is
Ikely to remain so for some tlmo ; that , in
icriods of low quotations like the present ,
investors nro apt to exchange bonds and
other investments for tallroad stocks
. \ hich are relativ ely cheaper ; and that vv hen
: ho London market has recovered from its
Australian shock , the demand there for
Americans is likely to rev ivc. These facts
. onstituto an clement of resiliency which Is
Ikely not only to hold transient downward
reactions in check , but also to exert a steady
.Ifting foice upon piicos ; and that tendency
tias been manifest Iti the impioved tone of
Iho maiket during the last half of this week ,
both abroad nnd'at homo.
Crop 1'roipccts Hotter.
'The woild's crop prospects have lately
shown au improvement highly encouraging.
In April a general failure of vv inter wheat
seemed almost inevitable , with the result of
a serious deficiency In the supply of that sta
ple. Now , in England and most of the conti
nental countries , the urobabilities favor
about an average crop and even Russia af-
foids piomiso of a leap fiom a famine jield
to a gooo average output. In this country
wheat shows a recovery from the conditions
upon which a crop of 440,000,000 bushels has
been predicted , vvhilo spring wheat and corn
planting aio promising favorably. This
change may not favor the iiitcicsts of the
speculative holders who are now cairyinga
laige surplus from our last year's wheat
C'rop ; but that is a small-offset against the
universal benclUs arising , from cheap food
the world over.
Credit Is I'nrnljroil.
"The most depicssing circumstance with
which tnls center has nt picsent to contend
is found in the state of tiado in the interior.
This condition seems to have originated
almost entirely in the late monetary scare
and the attendant collapse of the 'Indus
trials. ' It had been prccedcn by a sound ,
conservative and fairly active and prolltiblo
condition of tiade. The scaiosuggestoJ by the
Jargo gold exports , the drain upon the treas
ury gold reserve und the sharp piccautions
of our local banks , together caused the east
ern nnd interior banks to contiact their
accommodation to customers , aim suddenly
the financial skv became lowering and black
from Miiinn to Cahfoinia. In this way credit
has become suddenly pai.il.vzcd In eveiy sec
tion ; the weak spots in tiade , in financing
and banking have been roughly probed , and
a largo amount of failures have been picclp-
it. ted. It Is safe to say , however , of these
suspensions that , la a largo majority of
the cases , they have not arisen from real in
solvency , but fiom a sudden and more or less
Indiscriminate withdrawal of the usual
credit facilities. Considciing the severity
and thounhersalitv of this contiactlon of
credit , the wonder is that its effects in the
way of suspensions have not been much more
numerous
There's n Hotter reeling.
"This evidence of the soundness of the gen
eral commercial situation should pass for
soniothimr with those whoso incontinent
timidity la lending has done so much toward
luoducinp this condition of things. Ttioro iso
iuence enough to show that tlioso fears
have exceeded anv real occasion j and the
tiuo couiso , at the present stage , for the
New Yoik batiks to their solvent merchant
customers , is to make their present largo
suiplus moro freely available. The only pos
sible result of a different policy must bo to
further aggravate a situation already made
needlessly severe. The present discrimina
tion against the mercantile community at
our laige centers may , unless speedily mod
erated , needlessly brine many moro to the
verge of suspension. The situation Is ono
that calls for a bioud and intelligent cornpio-
henslon of the real condition of business and
for a Judgment that mulct stands now to pro
tect the lender by protecting the borrower.
AJittio moro of that policy would soon pro
duce a iricat change in the condition of busi
ness throughout the country at largo. "
