away into civil life 50 peacefully, this
old prejudice has largely died away,

BY European countries which are

object to competent police force.
The army is the national police force.
The knowledge of its existence gives
security and stability. and we are in
clined to think that it is far better for
it to be too large than too small. At

The Size OF Our Future Army.

The announcement that Secretary
Root will recommend in his annual re
port that the size of the regular army
be established at 100, 600 men. makes it
likely that the army bill will he one
of the bones Of contention in the next
Congress. The present arrangement is
only temporary. enacted to tide over 4
crisis because it was evident that the
regular army bill must fail. 1t mixes
regulars and volunteers in a most con-
fusing fashion. and answers its pur-
pose only because of the skillful adj
ministration of the war department.
and not through any merit Of the sys-
tenn. There is nothing permanent in
the present arrangement. though it
Will doubtless be sufficient to suppress
the Philippine insurrection as soon as
active operations are resumed there.
But the size of our regular standing
army for the future must be settled by
the next Congress. 1t is certain that
it Will never again be as small as III
recent years and in view Of present
conditions it does not seem that the
estimate of the secretary of war, 100,
900 men, is at all too large. OF course,
this figure will seem appalling tC
| those demagogues who are forever
ranting about the dangers of militia
rism, and the awful menace of a great
standing army. The prejudice against
large army is Of ancient origin in
this country, growing from the oppres-
l-sive presence of English troops in the

The Difference in Wages.

In a dozen states they are now wag-
ing the off year campaigns, some very
vigorously and some extremely mildly.
Various issues are being discussed, ex-
pansion. IS to /, trusts, purity of the
ballot, etc, etc. but in all these states,
and in all other states not holding
elections. this year, there is one argu-
ment which iInpresses itself upon the
Iaboring men without the aid of any
spellbinder's eloQuence. 1t is an
everyday issue of fact, and it shows
the diametrical opposition of Republic
can and Democratic policies and prih-
ciples beyond all possibility OF collu-
sion. 1t is the issue of Republican ana
Democratic wages He is dull per-
son indeed who cannot see how diner

Guided by the American frotec'Ne

trial establishments in all parts OF the

Average wages per capita:

cain for March. 1899, 1913 per cent.
The selection Of the times COM
pared. March. 1895, and March, 1889. is
favorable to the Democrats, because
the former date was the most prosper
ous period of the Cleveland-Wilson
times. and March. 1899, was not the
high tide Of the Mckinley prosperity.
The tide has been steadily rising ever
since then Under the Cleveland
regime the country was given its first
dose of Democratic wages since the
soup-house period of 1S51-59. The
country had forgotten what Democratic
wages meant, a generation having
passed away. but it knows now what
they mean. The country knows the
difference now and is not likely to
change back in a hurry.
In publishing the eloquent compare
tive table given above, the New York
Press makes the following terse edi-
torial comment: we call these wages
of 1889. which are "a per cent. greater
in volume than the wages Of 1895. Re
publican wages. because they are paid
under the political domination of a
party which has rescued the greatest
market in the worlds history from for
eign invasion and possession. and be
cause it has assured every enc invest
ing a dollar of labor or capital in sup
plying that market that he Will get his
dollar back in the same 1o0-cent
money which he put in. We call those
wages which at best We're "a, and at
worst nearly 100 per cent. less, Demo-
cratic wages. because they We're paid
under the domination of party
which, after it had followed one leader
to the destruction Of the tariff dis
missed him for weariness in well-doing
and secured another to lead them to
the destruction of the currency. We

Democratic because there never We're

There has been some difference Of
opinion as to the influence of the 100,-
600 word 'anti-imperialistic" speech
recently delivered by Carl Schurz at
Chicago. The Springfield Republican
thinks that it should be equal, as a
political force, to 1000 votes The
Portland Argus believes that the
speech should be equal to 5oo,C00 votes.
These romantic estimates must be cut
down. The New York Sun figures that
the exact political equivalent of Mr..
Schurz's Chicago eloquence is 100
votes. That is the full voting strength
of the Chicago anti-eXpansion con-
ference, provided all the members reg
lister and know when election day
