The Costs of Criminal Aggression.


To the Editor of The Republican -
In your paper of the l4th Instant an edi-
torial gives a digest of my figures on
markets, in which you remark, 40 win
trade now amounting to one-h half of
one cent per capita of the Philippine
population, we are now taxing ourselves
81 or more per capita per year (Mr.
Atkinson says 81, which seems to be too
high), and the tax is rising steadily to
unknown nights" My figures of the
past proved that for 20 years, 1873 to
1897, the average expenditures of the
national government were at the rate of
fraction under So (Si.97) per head.
In this expenditure, aggregating very
nearly $4,000 600, 900, were included S56.-
100000 of premiums on purchase of
bonds for reduction of debt, $50, 100000
of refund of direct war taxes to the
several states, and nearly $40, 100000 of
bounties on sugar. The total of these
non. recurrent expenditures not belong
ing 10 normal conditions came to over
10 cents per head, reducing the true cost
of government to S4.S7. Again, there
was included in this expenditure the
entire cost of the new navy, so-called,
upon which we entered with the war
with Spain, but for this we will make
no deduction. 1t may be considered nor
NAL. The falling in of pensions, without
additions due to the Spanish war, would
warrant the normal rate of expenditure
of the present year under conditions Of
peace, order and industry formerly pre-
vailing, at not exceeding Sf15 per head.
The actual expenditures of the last fiscal
year were at the rate of 81 95 per head
and they are now running in excess of
So, subject to a probable Increase with
the huge cost of the warfare upon the
Philippines, Of which we have as yet no
possible measure. | am therefore war
ranted IN computing the cost of criminal
aggression at the present time in excess
of So per head OF the population, which
! in the present fiscal year would be COM
puted on a fraction under $4,000, 900,
showing a total of the waste of money
in the conduct of the William Mckinley
war now running at the rate of between
1925. 100000 and 50,000,000 per year.
The taxes are not yet equal to the ex-
penditures. They may come nearer than
has been anticipated, owing to the great
consuming power of the country and the
large increase in the yield of existing
| taxes. EDWARD ATKINSON

Our south American Reputation.


William f. Curtis, the newspaper
correspondent row travelling in South
America, writes home of the growing
suspicion of and hostility to the United
States in that quarter. He SAYS in a
letter to the Chicago Record:
The ease with which expansion policy has
been adopted bv the United States has also
excited their suspicion, and mischievous
newspaper writers, particularly those of
spanish sympathies, have taken occasion to
moralize upon the results of the war with
the view of convincing the South Americans
that our previous pretentions that we are not
a nation of conquest were quite as deIusice
as our expressions of friendship ana our
desire for commercial intimacy. They utilize
every incident like the visit of the gunbcat
Wilmington to the upper Amazon, to prove
their points, and actually have endeayored
to convince people OF an intention on the
part of the United States to seize a section of
territory IN the interior OF Brazil. 1t Is not
strange after what has occurred during the
last 20 years that some of the people down
here should believe these absurd yarns. and
1t Is important that our government and the
newspapers OF the United States should do
everything possible to correct the false i'm
pressions.
The easiest way to correct the false
impressions is to prove their falsity by
relnquishng the career of conquest and
forcible annexation in which we are now
engaged. The reputation we have
dnOnR our nelgnUors VI DelnS natlOH
Of hypocritical land grabbers Is obviously
deserved at the moment. and if it Is
calculated to hurt our influence among
them and our mercial relations with
them, the remedy is not to be found in
trying to cover it up and so adding
hypocrisy to hypocrisy, but in returning
to the declared purposes with which we
went to war with Spain. Correct the
false" impressions? All the news
papers of the land working together can
not do that as matters stand, because the
impressions are true and not false.

Doctors Can't
Cure It!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. s. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affection, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
