LET it 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 the 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
tian virtues might not be extinguished
from the land; so that no man would
hereafter dare to limit and cireum-
scribe the great principles on which
the temple of liberty was being built"

COST OF MILITARISM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army.
Seventy-Five Millions for the
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants
DEMANDS ARMY OF 100, 900 MEN

i ?
We are at last to know what we are
to pay for our experiment in imperial-i
ism.
The Washington government has
made Its demand. 1t demands an army
of 1901 900 men and it wants 5000 ,0O0,-
900 for the next year to support its
pretensions.
The navy department wants SIS, 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 100000, 900. The
war department is estimating on the
basis of 100000 men.
Under the present law all vol1n-
teers and regulars in excess OF about
80. 900 men must be discharged before
July 1. 1901. and Quartermaster-G Gen
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
i to Manila.
The pay OF the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
SAT 100000. There will be 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 $12S,17O,5S3, and II
will undoubtedly be larger for the next
fiscal year.

highly un satisfactory to the Washing
