It is hoped the people throughout the country, who have been demanding war and boosting of their patriotism, will be equally patriotic when it comes to pay. ing the taxes, for war costs big money A Washington correspondent of the New
 York Times brings out this point em-
 phatically in 8 telling paragraph. He says: Some of of the thoughtless per sons who were loudly demanding war az the only remedy for the Cuban difficult ties, and who were insistent that the war method should be applied at once, may be among the loudest shoute1s, in 8 short time, for peace quickly and at any price. AS soon as it is found that there is to be war for longer than week or 6 fortnight, the Congress will authoriz new taxes to meet the expense incurred in waste and loss of material. Ships that must be kept up, armies be maintained, clothing and food to be purchased in quantities and shipped with risk of de.
 struction by fire and water, will all cost money. The Government has about $22O, 0OO,0 in the Treasury, but $1OO,- 900, 900 of this, in gold, must be kept un- der the law to maintain gold redemption. It will not take long to use up the other $120,000,000 with 8 war on. Brewers will soon begin to gramble because they must charge more for each keg of beer, in order to be able to pay an additional dollar tax on each keg and not lose any profit. Saloon keepers will be put to it to substitute smaller glasses or to allow more foam to each glass to countervail the added price from the brewers. Cof- fee will cost three cents more 8 pound, if the Ways and Means plan of taxation is carried out, and upon every pound of tea
 g tax of 10 cents is to be imposed. When 8 check is made upon a bank a stamp costing cent may have to be affixed or paid for if affixed by some one else. Not improbably the buyer of berth in a
 sleeping car or seat in parlor car will be obliged to contribute an extra pay ment of 10 cents for each 100 miles tray eled to maintain the war against Spain. It will be impossible to move far or to
