TERRIFIC DRAIN OF STANDING
ARMIES.

Edmund Thery, the noted French
economist, calculates that the mainte-
nance of the standing armies of Elt-
rope in the last twenty-five years cost
about $29, 1898, 1000, which involved an
increase in the public debt of the Eu-
ropean states of more than $4,000 ,000,-
600 francs and excluded from produc-
tive industry $4,000 officers and
nearly 100000 men. Some idea
of what might have been done
with the huge sum of $4,000
100000 in the way of creating great
public works may be gained when the
fl ct is considered that it would have
constructed the Panama canal seventy
times over, and would have duplicated
twice the entire mileage of steam rail-
roads in the United States.
To think in billions is a task too
great for the human mind, but it is by
such comparisons as Thery has made
CnaC we even get falnt idea OF the
enormous waste of money by the ma
tons of the earth. But to this waste
must be added that which results from
the turning aside of a vast volume of
human energy. Nearly 100000 Off
GERS and nearly 100000 of men
who draw heavily on those who do
produce-and what the world has lost
in the use and enjoyment of the
wealth that this great host of men
might have produced it is not easy to
estimate.
But the time is coming when tho
great military powers will be brought
face to face with bankruptcy, and the
people will rise in their might and
command a halt on such colossal
waste of money and human energy.
