ecUG the army in it's present position or to assist 10

ByaSSISG TO COUNT THE Cosr-A yEARIUL ACCUMULATION
o. DIBr
The following Is from the AlRAuke (Ws) News, OF
1911 instant:
In the same tergraphic repor. which announces the
adj lurument Of Congress- told that nearly eight
uadrad million dollars have been appropriated during
the 'a'e session.
There are NOW about 600 900 voters in all the Uai
Ell States II the appropriated BY Congress at this
sogle session RpDordoned among the voters, 1t
would make about 5000 for each voter TO pay.
The State of Wisconsin now includes nearly one
twentieth Of the Northern population. She viii doub:
lees be forced to meet quite one twentieth Of thee ap
p.opriaons. That would amount to forty million dol
re-. II the South pays s proportion OF these appro
priations even then share will fall little sior Of
hiry million dollars. This We are called upon to pay
In addition to all town and municipal expenses and 10
addition TO all that has been quandered by our State
Ulcers Such IA the cost Of Wisconsin of the first regu
lar session Of Republican congress under Republican
national administration.
We will not now stop 20 iUquire whether Wisconsin
can pay this We owe il, 50 far Sc Congress
max, US owe l.. And NO owe much more besides. We
ose for hundreds Of millions oil dollars in addition for
Which COugts hs not yet provided. Il lie safe 10 say
that az the end Of the present year Wisconsin will
more than oil the real and personal property in the STATE
would DIV If sold 20 the highest bidder. Every of
aud every building every article of personal property,
everything the people OF Wisconsin oWn, movable or
inmovab e is vrtuSy mortgased to its full value to pay
this debt.
OF course, L clnnol be paid Not for generations will
be paid As Wendell Phillips Gays, the strength, the
mind The hluds of every child in the cradle Is morgAgtd
70 by the interest upon il.
Ye what gosd hiss al this expenditure Of money 40
complishedy We are farther lrom UEion TO day than
zb1u the war CONNER csd There are not 30 many
Uaon nen in the Southern States this hour as there
we're on the morning when our armies we're summoned
10 the 6ed The people Of Virginia and Tennessee, and
KenuckV and Missouri, we're then almost unanimously
toe the Unon-they almost unanimously against
IT,
We do not parade these facts for any sinister
Wir,y purpose but because they may lead to r. soton
aud 70 right action. There is somewhere fatal mistake
IN the Management OF public ttfits, or We should not
have expended literally nearly cur last dol ar thus In vain
rle Uion is worth II b Il Ia true, aud double all that
10 Losses whether Of Efe OF health Of property
but Ga The Government Is nov administered, these
seem a. icst'quate facrhce.
Ia orsis like this, be who fais to consider well the
great fees which stare him in the isce or would sttemp
10 ignore any Of the important ob tcles which mus be
CoultsTed 10 the struggle IN which are engaged, Is
v,r by Of very to cred for patriotism and much less
iUr practical good sens.
