tional treasury. and through it up3a
the taxpayers Of the country.
Four years after the close of the civil
war--the most disastrous the world
has ever known-the war expenses of
,he 6. y. nment amounted to but $751;
900. .0o0. and that of the navy $50, ,000,-
0O0, total of $9s. Sol $50. as against
$1S7 900, 900 four years after the close
of the war with Spain.
Secretary Root, in report to the
Senate. places the cost of the war In
the Philippines alone of $I70,326.5S6,
which does not include the $4,000 900
paid Spain as an indemnity. The Sec
retary argues that much of the expense
in the Philippines was not properly
chargeable to military operations, as
the pay and maintenance of the army
would have gone on whether in The
United States or elsewhere. He
makes no reference to the fact that II
because OF the exigencies i'm these
islands that the ermy was increased to
100 900.

return of single dollar. In addition
to this the pension rolls will be largely
augmented by reason of soldiers incur
ring disabilities in the tropical service
and through death and wounds.
Thousands of soldiers have been killed
in battle or by disease.
The army alone requires about one
half of the total receipts from customs
for its support, The customs seceipts
average about $S00.0 a day The
internal revenue receipts average about
$1,000, 900 a day.
Despite these enormous expenditures
for the army and navy. the treasury
today has an available cash balance Of
$202, 1876, 146, which is the largest In
years. The surplus, as shown by the
statement of the treasurer. is $50, ,210,-

this liabilities sufficient to bring ths
