biggest item u the cost Of keeping uD

Up to year or 80 ago the standing
army Of this country did not exceed

ment Of Imperialism and the election
of Mckinley will raise 1t to 100000 or
200. 900 within two years.
The cost OF maintaining q soldier In
time Of peace. including all expenses
and charges. is $1,000 a year. When
in the foreign service 1t is $4,000. Less
than 5000 Of this goes to the private
soldier. contractors, suffers and camp

One of 100000 to $500, 0,000, 900 year.
