The Enormous Cost OF the war.
Henry LOOMS Nelson gives in The
World today the first exhaustive state
ment Of the cost Of our recent war with
Spain and Of Mr.. McKinley's war in the
Philippines. His figures are drawn
from official reports and estimates to
which he gave a careful and cOnscien-
tiOus examination.
Mr.. Nelson finds the cost Of the war
with Spain to have been s259,341, 29s; Of
the war in the Philippines 64,617, 267 IN
1899 and q prospective cost Of 800, 49,
934 for the current year-a total Of
s424, 81, 800.
The increased cost Of the army and
navy for the present fiscal year over
1897, due to our policy Of military sex
pansion," viii be s1OO,885, 934 And
with the pensions on account Of these
wars still to come, the total expendi-
lures Of the government have increased
from 1850, IA, 16O in 1897 to s6O5,O72, 180
in 1899-or from s5.O1 per capita Of the
population to s7.97 per capita
As the war in the Philippines is now
admitted by Senator Beverage and
Representative GrOsvenOr to be a com
mereial enterprise, Mr.. Nelson esti-
mates the returns from the whole ven
ture in the two wars, and taking the
widest guess Of the Imperialists as to
the value Of the future trade he shows
a net loss to the nation Of over $780,

The patient OZ-teams toiled along

They had to make their ''Iaager" do

With sixty guns we pounded them,
With deadly Iyddite SHE'LL

We made that dried-up river bed

In spite Of that they stood Us of

We invite the attention of our con-
sentative friends who regarded demo
Gratis as anarchists because they tried
IL the Wilson law to impose a tax Of 2
per cent on the incomes Of persons who
would never miss the money, to the ar
raDgements by which England is pre-
psring to finance the present war.
The backbone Of the fiscal policy
formulated by Sir Michael Hioks-Besch
is an increase Of the income tax from
8 pence to 1 shilling in the pound.
The former rate was 3115 per cent The
new one is 3 per cent. Hereafter q
man with an income Of $4,000 a year

eminent in the way Of income tax, in
