Our present King, while Chief, in
lo53, suggested a very good plan q military organi-
zAtIon, requiring an expenditure Of only $4,000
yearly, and q militia force Of 500 men, with 80 VOL
uDteers, for al the islands. (See Schedule c and
Table Z appended 70 my Report as Secretary >; War
for lo33-) On the oth March, 1883, he reported 2
force actually sceoutred and armed Of 80 men.
When you consider that the appropriation for the
military FOR the fiscal year 1852 and 1853 was only

the ths1 Prince LihOlih0, Conmauder-in Chief, fr
such q force The late Duke Of yelling
ton calculated that in England each soldier costs $40
per annum, being al 4o pence exchange 500, az
which rate the same force q 80 men would cost
yearly.
Whatever may D. thought or said 70 the contrary,
L indispUtable that the military department Of the
hIngs Government, relatively 70 the force kept Up

than any other whatever. In proof Q: this,
