There is considerable discussion among
military men and non-military men, as
well, as to how the government will raise
its army in case of war. The regular
army will be increased. of course, the reg
iments filled up. and doubtless new regi-
ments added
Even if the strength of the regular army
should be doubled, however, there would
still be far from sufficient men, TO conduct
war against Spain, as the present
strength of the regular army is less than
$4,000 men. Spain is estimated to have an
army of over 10000 men in Cuba, and as
they do not seem TO be able to find the
insurgents. practically their entire atten-
ton might be given TO this country, or to
any force which the United States might
land in Cuba It is TO be presumed that
Spain would increase this army at once
by at least 100000 men. Supposing the
insurgents to be temporarily off the scene
or to be taken care of by the volunteer
forces on the island. this would give the
United States 25O,OOO men to face. at a
rough estimate.
The Americans may not have a high
opinion of the courage of the Spanish SOL
diers, but the latter certainly have one adj
vantage, that of experience by reason of
considerable service in actual campaign-
lacking. Anyway, it would not he advis-
able 10 enter into the war on the wild
theory that one American would easily
lick five Spaniards The bad results of
such underestimate of the fighting quail
ties of the other side were fully realized
on both sides in the recent civil war. II
is safe to say that Gen. Miles or any other
American leader would prefer to face the
enemy with at least equal numbers on any
given occasion
The United States has a lengthy coast
line to defend. While 1t is not expected
that in any case the war will extend far
beyond the ports, II will be necessary to
guard all the numerous ports In order to
meet any sudden onslaught from the army
and navy of Spain. This in itself will re-
quire considerable army. In addition
to this IL would be necessary to maintain
large forces in each of the several mill
tary districts into which the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts would probably be divided In
order that the general in command would
have sufficient troops at his disposal to
meet any attempted landing of a Spanish
army. AS this would be as likely TO han
pen at Galveston as at Savannah or Nor
folk. or at New York. or Boston, il would
be necessary to maintain an army on
each section of the coast. This would re-
quire probably 5000 troops in each of five
4or six districts. Then, if Uncle Sam
wished to attack the Spaniards in Cuba
{he would have to land there an army at
least equal to that which il was expected
to meet. This might require 100000 troops

THE PROTECTION FRAUD.

When the advocates of a tarlfi
system promised the people OF this
country better wages than Euro
oean competitors receive, they hard
iy dared hold out the hope that with
the scale of higher wages American
goods could still compete with the
products Of European cheap labor.
But that is the case now. The
tariff has stimulated American
genius as well as enterprise and
the result is a getter goods at a
lowar cost of production than the
old commercial rivals of the United
States can produce. e.-Syracuse On.
" Post.
1t is the easiest thing in the
world to imagine conditions that
woul1 constitute an endorsement
of any pet theory-and this is what
the Syracuse Post seem to be doing.
1t is not a fact that wages are
going up under the tariff system
except possibly in few lines of in
dustry which the war and other
extra ordinary happenings have
stimulated. The New Eng LAND
factories are both cutting down
wages and shutting down mills.
Nor have our manufactures been
exporting in increased volume under
the Diugley tariff bill as compared
with the Wilson bill. On the other
hand, our trade with the old world
for the past year has been largely
in agricultural and food products,
The rate of increase in manutac-
tured products, where we compete
with the products of European
cheap labor, was much higher in
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1891
than in the year ending June 30,
1898.
Now for the other side. If We
are making better goods at a lower
cost of production than can be
done by our rivals where is the
necessity for a protective tariff
But there is a stronger and more
positive objection to the tariff
While these excellent American
goods are being sold abroad at
cheap figure, giving the European
consumer the benefit of competi-
tion, our home consumers are com
PEELED to pay a higher figure in con
sequense of competition being shu'
| out.
Suppose, however, for argument
sake, that American wages are be
ing raised, In no case reported ha
this increase exceeded 10 or II pc
cent. The Dingley bill has raisec
the cost of living from 40 to 90 pc
cent so far as manufactured good
| are concerned. The laborer who's
grocery and household and clothing
bills were, for illustration, $50
month on wages of sl.50 per day
now pays for his living from $40 t,
$50, or goes without many thing
enjoyed before. Has he been bene
fitted by a 10 per cent or 81 month
| increase in his wages under thes'
new conditions?
Not only is the consumer paying
more for his purchases than his in
crease in wages amount to, but tht
great deficit in the revenues il
necessiting additional heavy taxa
tion-so that the high tariff is ;
losing business all around, except
to the fayored mill or factory own
er. 1t is fun for the bonus grab
bers, but it is death to the masses

Who Will be our Next President

Politicians are now planning for
the presidential CAMPAIGN of 1900,
but the war has so overshadowed all
other matters that politics is almost
unnoticed. Many people are of the
opinion that the candidates will be
the same as in 1896, but there may
be a dark horse who will win the
race, Popularity has much to do
with candidates. This is also true
