WHAT THE WAR RCosT.-Commissioner of
the Revenue Wells, in his report to Congress,
estimates that the government spent, in war
expense and expenses growing out of the war,
down to Jnne 80, 1879, $4,171 ,914,59S this es-
innate excluding, of course, what the admin
istratlon would have cost if there had been no
war. But to find what the war really cost,
the total loss to the whole country, there are
good many items to be added to the ex-
penses of the general government,-to say
nothing about what we all expected to make
and didn't. Mr. Wells figures up the whole
grand total at nine thousand millions of dol
lars, enough, says the Eoening Post, to build
ninety Darien ship canals, or hundred Pa
ciflc rail- Dads, or nine times as much as
would double track every railroad in the Uni
ted States. Here are the details:

"This, then,' says Commissioner Wells
was the cost of the destruction of slavery
the cost OF com2romise-the cost of the un-
faithfulness of those who founded this nation
to the idea by which the nation lives. What
does it measure? 1t is substantially thou
sand millions year for nine years or, at the
wages offive hundred dollars year, the labor
of two millions of men exerted continuously
during the whole of that period. 1t is five
times as much as the slave property of the
country was ever worth. 1t is a sum which,
at interest, would yield to the end of time
twice as much as the annual slave product of
the South in its best estate"
