IT is q significant fact that, 30 far
back as the presidency of John Quincy
Adams, seventy-two years ago, the reg
ular American navy was actually larger
and more powerful relatively than it is
today. So good an authority as Capt.
Alfred T. Mahan, the great naval his
torian, has said that if the $50, 200, OOO
emergency war fund had been ex-
pended three years ago in the creation
of a fleet of twenty battleships, there
would have been no war with Spain,
because in the face of such q force
Spain would have been compelled
peacefully to abandon Cuba at our
bidding.

THE overwhelming Republican vic
tory In Oregon is proof conclusive Of a
very radical change of political senti-
ment among very large part of the
people of that great state, which had
suffered seriously for several years from
the faint Of Populism. An able Re-
publican farmer is elected governor bv
q plurality Of nearly 10000; both Re
publican congressman are reelected by
largely increased majorities, and the
large Republican majority in the legis-
iature insures the election of q Republi-
can United States senator. And the
great victory was achieved over the
combined forces Of Populists, Demo
Gratis and Silver Republicans, animated
chiefly in their incongruous political
alliance by their common greed for
office. The returns leave scarcely any
room for doubt that fusion is fizzle in
Oregon. Verify ''peace hath her vic
tories no less renowned than war;

The 0fIcial Paper of San Juan County.
THURSDAY. JUNE 10th, 1893.

"THE Cost OF WAR" is the subject OF
a short and most interesting two and
half page article by George B. Waldron
i'm the June number of McClure's mag
azine. He presents most astonishing
array Of figures showing the tremend-
Gus cost and terrible loss of life result
ing from the wars of "Christian Europe
and America" during the past one
hundred years. According to his esti-
mate the wars of the century since 1893
have destroyed nearly $4,000, OOO, 600
of treasure and cost the lives of $780,
600 men. The Napoleonic wars, cover
ing period of twenty-five years, cost
the British and French not less than
81, 800, 900 900 in money and 100000
lives. The battle of Waterloo alone
cost the lives Of 81 900 men. The ter
rible Crimean war of two years cost the
nations engaged in it 81 500, OOO, 900 in
wealth and the lives of over coo, 600 of
their citizens. The Franco German
war cost over 100000 lives and re-
quired an expenditure of 81 500, 600, 900;
and in addition France had to pay an
indemnity Of 81 ,OOO, Zoo. 900 and give up
the province Of Alsace-L Lorraine. The
fearful civil strife in this country from
1861 to 1865 cost the lives Of 304 900
Northern soldiers, according to official
records, which do not include those
who died at their homes from wounds
and disease. The total loss Of North
ern lives is believed to have been not
less than $50, 900, and the losses of the
South are estimated to have been as
great, making total of approximately
zoo, OOO-''not the children, the aged,
the sick and the weak, but the very
flower Of the nations manhood" And
the money cost was tremendous. On
the part of the North the direct cost
was So, 400, OOO,O 900, and including the
cost to the Confederacy, the destruction
of property and the interference with
industries, it is estimated that "the
total loss must have been not less than
$4,000, 900, 900, or one-half Of the entire
wealth Of the nation before the opening
of hostilities." In 1860 our national
debt was only $65 100000. Five years
later, when the war closed, it was ST.
756, 100000, and since the war began
the nation has paid in interest on that
debt an amount equal to the original
principal, and 1925, 100000 more in
pensions to the soldiers and their fam
flies. And the end is not yet. The
country is still paying annually in in
terest and pensions $160,OO0,0OO and
these enormous payments must yet
continue for many years before the OBJ
legations of that one war are met
"The total cost of the war to the North
and South" says Mr.. Waldron, "would
have bought the freedom Of every slave
and left enough to pay all the peace
expenses Of the federal government for
half century. Today the debts of the
worlds leading nations aggregate $685.
600, OOO, 900 and probably three-fourths
of this is due to war-the sins of the
fathers visited upon the children to the
third and fourth generation"

to the front to fight for the freedom Of
CubaS It Is to be hoped that the brave
and chivalrous congressman Is not un-
avoidably delayed by circumstances
over which he has no control. 1t is q
shame If the war is being prolonged
because the "gilded society sapheads''
Of the army and navy, as the pictur-
esque ]. Ham terms the regular OIL
GERS, are preventing this warrior bold
from swooping down on the Spaniards
with the crushing might Of an aveng-
ing host. By all means let thu gentle
man loose.
