The following is from that model Demo.
cratic sheet, the Lacross (Wiscsnsin) Dem
ocrat. The chief difference between the
editor and most Of the editors of the Dem.

he really thinks and they are trying to con-
ceal their hearty concurrence with him.

Cosr OF THE WAR TO THE SourH.-A Rich
mond paper estimates that the war has cost
the South FIVE thousand eight hundred mil
lions of dollars. namely: Twenty FIVE hun
dred millions by tbs loss Of slave property ;
nine hundred millions by the ravages Of war;
nine hundred millions by the loss of staple
crops; five hundred millions by property
sunk in the Confederate debt, and one thons-
and millions by what the South must here
after pay as her proportion of the principal
and interest of the national debt. By the
census of 1860, the entire property of the
fifteen slave States was valued at $1,000,
600, OO0--the slaves being valued at So, 400,
100000. For the last year before the war
the cotton crop was worth 1886, 900, 000.-
The tobacco crop for 1860 was worth $40,-
10000, and the rice and sugar crops for the
same year were each worth SIC, 900, 000.-
Wheat and corn were subsequently planted
in place of these, but the product was con-
sumed by the Rebel armies and the slaves.
The debt of the Confederacy at the time If
its collapse was at least four thousand mi
lions, which had absorbed say one eighth O.
this sum in gold value.
