in dlsposing OF their false statements

his most effective speeches Is torn 10

says applies with equa! force 20 recent

How much more sensible and truth
ful is the view taken by Gen. Mander-
son. who shows that peace is best in
sured BY being prepared for war. and
proves II by Illustration. We had no
standing army in the war OF 1872. and
the national capital was captured By
an enemy Of only 1850 men. The pres
ence OF 1900 regulars at the first
Manassas might have ended the civil
war then and there. So long as there
are questions between nations which
diplomacy cannot unite wars viii come.
In the United States there IS but
eight tenths OF soldier 10 1000 people,
while In France IL Is fourteen to 1000.
and five In England. In the United
States there is but one soldier 10 55.43
square miles Of territory. while in
France and Germany there are three
soldiers 10 every two miles and two in
Great Britain. Had We one soldier to
every twenty Ave square miles OF area
We would have an army of las 300. but
since the fear of miiitarisnl comes from
the possibility of oVerawing the people,
that fear may be set at rest by the re
Election that an army of 100000 would
only allow one soldier - every 1000
people.
Bryan made very much of the buga-
BOO q cost. warning the people that an
enormous burden would be placed upon
them by this increased cost. AS mat
ter of fact the Per capita cost in France
is s221. and in Great Britain 1t is 50 Il,

what is now Seattle came in 1852, and
In the following year plated the town
and called it Seattle.
The growth of the town was con.
siderably retarded by the Indian wars
in the early sixties, and up to 1880 had
reached population Of only 5000.
It's growth since then has been almost
phenomenal, and to-day its population
Is 10000, while it is the leading city OF
the state of Washington and the North
Pacific coast. 1t is cosmopolitan and
metropolitan in character, its people
hailing from all quarters of the globe
and Its trade being direct with the
leading ports Of Europe, Asia, Africa,
Australia, Armenia and the islands Of
the deep. 1t has terminals and docks
of modern character. During the past
year ninety.three vessels we're built 10
It's shipyards, its trade with Alaska
alone requiring the departure OF a
loaded ship evory day.
Seattle has one OF the newest and
finest military posts in the United
States, and twelve miles from the city
