THE YANKEE WAR DEBT.

The New York Christian ADVOCATE comments on
the enormous debt which this war is creating for
the North as follows
They tell US of an expense of nearly seven hun
dred millions of dollars in year. Can We aPpre-
ciate such sum-? How little do we know of the
distance to the sun? Ninety five millions of miles
Start railroad train for such journey. Let it
stop at no planet for wood and water passengers
Place on it a little infant The infant becomes
man, and reaches the allotted age of man but the
sun is not reached Let another take his place., and
live his three years and ten another and an
oher-and still with pause for repairs or to cool
its burning axles, and yet the journeys end is not
attained The fifth mans dying eyes are looking
forward millions of miles for the journeys end
But We are here talking of seven hundred mil
lions-not of ninety five.
For hundred years and more churches have been
gathering up property in the United States. Sub
scriptions have been nobly decided; dying men have
left their accumulatons to their loved churches and
in all this time the evangelical churches have got to-
gether about fifty millions ofproperty- enough
to pay the price of victory for one month. y
We have1 missionary society. 1t gathers each
year from near million Of people. 1t throws its
influence into nearly every part of the world. But
its whole yearly revenue would endure the draft Of
the United States Treasury but single hour.
Seven hundred thousand men are drawn from the
pursuits ofnduStry. 1t IS far more lmpoverlsbing
than if half million of paupers were thrown on
to support for then the raborers and producers would
remain at work Now they are far worse than
idle. Their weapons are costly equipments; but
harvests perish and cities are ruined by their
presence.
! England is contributing fearful amounts of want
and starvation to swell the price of victory. France
loses the sale of twenty-five millions of its wares
and interior Europe and parts of Asia are paying
portions Of this stupendous cost of victory.

Practical Independence.-The fond hopes that

upon firm footing, such home manufactures as
would make them forever independent of the rest of

ance we are not much nearer the desired consum-
nation than at frst-Aug. Chronicle.
And why, Not because there is not capital
enough in the country seeking Investment for it is
abundant enough to 20 begging. The simple
reason-and it is good one-s the eternal clamor
of newspaper editors and politicians for free trade
soon as the war is 1t is threatened at one
fell swoop by abolishng the tariff to crush out that
manufactures we have, and who will be simpleton
enough to put his money in channel where it will
