What the War Cost in Labor.

1t may be assumed that at min
imum the cost of suppressing the re-
bellion was $4,000 100000. 1t was,
therefore, 81, 1875, 000, 900 a year for
seven years. 1t has been held that the
maximum product of each person occu-
pied for gain in 1880 could not have ex-
ceeded 5000 worth; labor and capital
were at least one-third more effective
during and since the year 1880 than
during the period of war and recon-
struction. If then we value one mans
labor from 1861 to 1868 inclusive at
$500 year, the work of war required
the unremitting labor of 2,270,0 900 men
for seven years, either in two armies or
in sustaining them. AT S400 each, an
estimate probably nearer to the mark
at that time, the measure would be the
constant work of 1887 800 men each
year for seven years. The average
population of that period was 81, 900 900,
of whom not over one in five could be
considered an able-boded man of arms
bearing age. The cost of liberty, there
fore, consisted of actual arduous work
at the risk of life for seven years, of
one man of arms-bearing age in every
three. Forum.

An American Political Economy.

Have the orthodox English econo-
msts since Adam Smith ever overcome
the insular quality of their work, or
sufficiently counted upon the mind of
man as factor in material production?
Is it not desirable that more attention
should be given to the method of Adam
Smith than to the dogmas of Nautilus,
Ricardo, and M llP If so, then the
facts which are now being gathered by
statisticians, especially in this country,
may hereafter serve to give a broad
extension of the narrow and insular
habits of thought which the students of
political economy have derived mainly
from English writers. Let it not be
supposed for an instant that l assume
that there can be an American system
of political economy as distinguished
from an English system. Such con-
ception would be utterly inconsistent
with any true idea of science. Yet, is
it not true that habits of thought are
unconsciously controlled by the envi-
ronment of the writer? When the day
dawns in which the English-speaking
people of the world may become united
under a system which shall give to
every man the utmost liberty consist
ent with the rights of his fellowmen
when national prejudice is abated, and
the whole great body moves onward in
its effort to benefit the people of the
world by mutual service, the word will
then 90 forth to all other nations, dis
arm or starve. The Statue of Liberty
which stands at the motth of the great
harbor of our country may then, in
truth, enlighten the world. This is the
vision which lies back of the dry COL
umns of figures, and which brings the
imagination into play on the part of
him who can read what is between their
lines. - Edward Atkinson in august
Forum.
