COST OF MILITARISM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army;
Seventy-Five Millions for the
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants.
DEMANDS ARMY OF 1oo,oooMEN.

We are at last to know what we are
to pay for our experiment in imperial
ism.
The Washington government has
made its demand. 1t demands an army
of 100000 men and it wants 5000, OOO,-
ooo for the next year to support its
pretensions.
The navy department wants S75,000,-
600. The end is far away. This is
only the beginning of what American
taxpayers may expect.
To support the army and navy until
the end of the fiscal year, June 30,
1902. congress will be asked to appro-,
pirate more than s2OO,0OO,OOO. The
war department is estimating on the
basis of 100000 men.
Under the present law all volun-
teers end regulars in excess of about
10000 men must be discharged before
July l. 1901, and Quartermaster-Ge
eral Ludington is making arrange
ments for the transportation home of
the volunteers, beginning next month.
1t will be necessary to recruit regi-
ments to take the place of the volun-
teers in case more troops are author
lied, and when they are ready for ac-
tive service they must be transported
to Manila.
The pay of the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
SAT 100000. There. will be a heavy bill
for clothing, medical and hospital
stores. ordnance, ordnance stores and
supplies and regular supplies for the
quartermaster's department. The es-
innate made by Commissary- General
Weston for subsistence stores for the
current fiscal year was $11,112,242. and
this will be exceeded.
Secretary Roots estimate for the
military establishment for the current
year aggregated s12s,17O,5Ss, and it
will undoubtedly be larger for the next
fiscal year.

Let 1t be remembered" said the
continental congress in addressing the
states at the end of the Revolution,
that it has ever been the pride and
boast of America that the rights for
which she contended were the rights
of human nature"
True statesmen as they were,' said
Lincoln, they knew the tendency of
prosperity to breed tyrants, SO they
established these self-evident truths,
that when, in the distant future, some
men. some faction some interest
should set up the doctrine that none
but rich men or none but white men,
or none but Anglo-Saxon white men,
were entitled to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, their posterity
might look up again to tie declaration
of independence and take courage to;
renew the battle which their fathers
began; SO that truth, justice and
mercy and all the humane and Chris
tan virtues might not be extinguished
from the land; so tnat no man would
hereafter dare to limit and circum-s
scribe the great principles on which
the temple of liberty was being built

spirit.
One Of the main reasons why men
struggle SO hard to obtain a monop-
oily is that it enables them to charge
more than the worth of the goods or
services they supply.
In the Bramkamp wire nail case the
attorney for the trust admitted that
the combine had raised the price
from so cents to $3.50 key. whole
sale, securing thereby a monopoly
profit of several million dollars. That
trust went to pieces, but recently an
other has been formed. and wire nails
have advanced over 140 per cent be-
yond the ordinary competitive price.
Coal Trust Extortions.
The coal combine was investigated
by congress in 1893, and the report
declares (D that in 1888 the extortions
of the coal monopoly averaged more
than 81 a ton, or $S9OOOOOO for the
year; and (2) that from 1873 to 1886
$200,00O,000 more than fair market
price was taken from the public by
this combination. 1t also appeared
that in 1892 the combine raised the
price S1.25 to S1.35 ton on the kinds
used by housekeepers, though the
price of coal was already high and the
cost of mining diminishing every year.
The Linseed Oil Trust in 1887 pu,
the price up from SO to So cents a gal
Ion, or nearly s5,O0O,0OO additional tax
on the yearly output.
In the same year the copper Syndi-
cate put up the price from 10 to II
and Is cents pound, or S30,000,000 al
id...on on the yearly output.
A congressional investigation in 1893
brought out the fact that on the
strength of a rumor that the internal
revenue tax was to be increased by
congress the Whisky Trust raised its
prices 25 cents a gallon, which would
amount to an additional profit Of $12,-
100000 on its yearly output.

was formed, the average price of raw
sugar was The same as in 1885, but
