The ndmlntstratiomi \Vnshlngton may
be presunied to be as gooti a utlge as any
one on titis tde of time AtlantIc hoth of
the probable duratIon of the war and of Its
cost , and Mr. tinghey , elteaklng on the wsr
revenue bIll , has thus defined the objects
of that mensuret "It was , first , to raIse
from $100,000,000 to $ l&O,000,000 of revenue
by taxatIon. it was also to provide from
$400,000,000 to $ t.oO,000,000 In additIon to
this to meet the vrobabie expendItures of
the war in which we are engaged up to at
least the 1st of May net , for war expemidi-
tur-es are well nIgh certaIn to contInue to
that time. " From this declaratIon it is
seen that the admInIstratIon expects the
war to last a year nnd to cost not less than
$ oooooOoo.
This suggests some Interesting reflectIons
on time nituch grtor costliness of mmmoderim
war as compared wIth that of former tunes
The war for hmmdepemidence lasted eight years
amid its cost is officially recorded as $115-
000,000 , usIng round flgtlres , There wore
about 310,000 troops emigogeti Iii that war-
one-thmlrti an many more as have been so
far called out in the present commillct wIth
SpaIui , It follows that , accepting Mr Ilng-
icy's ctImatcs , ft is golumg to cost four tlnies
us mittich to fight Spain for one year iii hSOS
as it rest to fight Great Britain for tue
eIght years front 1775 to 1783. Time war
of lSi2 , a'iilcii lasted two years and eight
months , cost the Umilteth States a little over
$107,000,000 , nod to carry it on we put In
the field 576,000 troops , nearly three times
as miiaiis as we have now tmnder arms. The
tIoxhcami war , whilohi hasted two years amid
tiiicti lllmflthmti , cost. ( hi' Anterican pcophe
$100,000,000 and 112,000 troops were emigaged
in it. If tim mmtmlflher of troops who carrIed

leo immtui heel ) doubled they would have about
equahcii tIle uumnber of the armuy miow in the

'i No fair cOiImrIson can be made between
tlte tnt of a clvii war and a foreign war. In
the mtature of time case a civil war is fur
mbre' destructive of property anti values ,
and , by rcaon of its menace to the very
existence' the nation , far more expensive ,
because when a natlon'3 lIfe Is at stake Its
credit Is at tue lowest ; rnint. and money can
lie raIsed only on the imiost exacting terms.
The fost of our great civil conflict has been
1mtit' towmm C $6,189D20,909 , but that cstintate
Includes all expemmses growing out of the witr
as veii as the actual cost of the mIlItary
and naval operatlomis The direct outlay of
tile Ummited States government in carryIng on
tlte war for four years wa $3,400,000,000 , slId
iii 11w course of the struggle 2,859132 unlomm
troops were emmgageti. It is cstlmnatett that
time number of troops actually engage.h on
the union side averaged 2,1261G8 for three
years. Ilemice. It appears that. the dIrect cost
of the war , counting It on this three years
lasls. sns about $1,166,000,000 per year flut
tIr. Dingiey tells us It Is goIng to cost $ OO , .
000coo to lmecm 200,000 muon fighting Spain
for ammo year , whmlcb Is more thamm one-third
asnttlcil as it cost the governnrent to keep
2i2tiGCO mmlen flghitlng time confederate states
for thto same length of time.
These conmlarison5 serve to show that , In
var as In peace , we are doIng thimmgs on a
far more eXICIiSlVe scale than we dId a
generation ago. If the cost of war increases
at the maine ratio for the next thirty years
that it has for the thirty years past , It. will
requIre the expenditure of at least $1,000-
000c00 a year , which Is cquIvaicnt to nearly
$3,000,000 a tiny , to keep 200,000 Anmerican
mcli fighting on land and sea iii tile year
1923. Suppose the nimmber of ntci emmgaged
to be 1,000000 , whIch would surely happen
iftO went to war vlth a first-class power ,
antI time cost of war a generation hence will
ho $15,000,000 a day. That will be $625,000
an hour. or over $10,000 for every minute
the war lasts. It may at last conte about
that war wIll disappear because it wIll cease
