That was a very striking state
ment which Senator Hale of Maine
made in the Senate sagfew ays ago-.
The? military budget]-of the Uni
ted jStates, he said, including the
expenses of the army -and navy
and!the payments on account of
pensions, would amount to $400,-
000,000—“nearly twice as much
as ij paid by any European ifa-.
tioh,” Our congressmen,; and
others, are constantly preaching
about the dangers and burdens of
militarism, and pointing, to, Eu
rope. as a horrible example of the
load which the tax payers have to
bear to support the military ; and
yet here we are already paying out
two dollars for every dollar: -that
any European country pays for
military purposes 1 And the end;
is not yet. We are already bur
dened with militarism, 4? S P far as
