Upon this aggregate Of annual expenditure
for 100000 men, (the above estimates cover,
in fact, the cost Of 26l 400 men-the regiments
containing l,O46 men each,) the annual cost Of
each soldier will be $4ss.4s; which, in com.
parison with the cost Of the army establishment
Of other countries, is enormous. The army of
England and her colonies, including India,
but exclusive of the late East lndia Com.
pany's troops,) consisted, last year, of 2l2,77a
men, with 81 ,904 horses, and its cost for the
year ian expensive war going on in China) was
$7O,s42,743, being $332.95 per man. The
French army in France and Algeria numbered
400, 900, with s5,7O6 horses. It's cost for the
year was $s7,774,l77, being $244.44 per man.
Many are disposed, upon . hasty view Of the
subject, to assume that the difference 10 made
in the larger pay Of our soldiers. But this con.
sideration does not explain the discrepancy.
II we deduct from $4s9.4s, the annual cost per
man of the army Of the United States, as esti.
mated above, the entire pay of q private, at sll
per month, 1892 per annum, we shall have left
as the annual cost per man, $367. AZ, exceed.
ing by $24.5s the the entire annual cost Of the
British soldier, pay included; and by $ll3.O4,
the entire annual cost Of the French soldier.
Yet both armies, the French more particu.
larly, are more expensively organized than sny
army contemplated in the United States, as
will be seen from the following table, in which
the superiority in cavalry and artillery, the
more expensive arms, is strikingly apparent.
