that the workingmen of this

after they had put the dem

ing:: to the statistics for .that
year the government of the
United States cost $40,203
an hour. The government
of France cost about $80 ,000
an hour and the government
of the United Kingdom about
$56 ,000 an h our. i -Germany
makes a remarkably good
showing, for she J spent on
her government in the fiscal
year 1896-97 only $36,158 an
hour. Germany has not the
extent of territorv nor the
population to govern which
the United States has; neith
er has she the great natural
wealth which can afford to
spe n d money rrbu t"; Ge rmany
makes an excellent showing.
, Returning to the expendi
tures of the United States in
an ordinary year of peace,
every hour that the govern
ment of this country is car
ried on ,we contribute to the
military establishment of the
country $5,802. But in the
appropriation for the 44 mili
tary establishment V is inclu
ded an hourly expenditure of
$2,066 for rivers and harbor
improvements, and the sup
port of the various soldiers
homes costs $397 an hour.
To support the Prenident
and his official family of clerks
etc, costs $22 an hour; Vic
toria lives at the expense of
$217.50 an hour, contributed
by. the British tax payers.
The expenses, entailed on the
country by the civil war are
brought forcibly j to mind
when one considers that be
sides the expenditures for
soldiers' homes the country
pays in pensions $15,817 an
hour. To support the navy
costs only a little over $3,000
an hour. The civil part of
the government of the coun
try is run at an hourly expen
diture of $9,957. If any one
think that there are no Indi
ans in the country : now he
will be undeceived when he
comes to realize that each
-- ( .... .
hour he nd liis fellow coun
try men are contributing- $1,
388 to the support of the
readskins.
It must be remembered
that the $40,203 an hour
which is spent for govern
ment represen ts only the ex
penditures of the . federal
vern ment . r ; Taking into
the consideratiohthej state
and the munic ipal" expendi -
tures, one is appalled at the
hourly cost of government m

country increases in popula
