The civil war is said to have cost the
country fully eight billion dollars. while
1t was in progress-adding to the direct
outlay the value OF property destroyed
and the damage done by interference
with industry And the end is not yet
for though thirty-three years have
passed, pension and interest payments
still continue to increase the total. \
part OF the cost of that was put of on
another generation. just as part Of
our present outlay will be; but the
people who danced paid the piper no.
withstanding. in the form of war
taxes"-and We must do the same. The
men and women who cheerfully bear
this increased burden are not the low
est on our list Of seventy million pa
