A COSTLY POLICY,
oa ee
Tbe “imperialism” which may lead the United States into annexing the Philip- pines will come high, if the figures given by Harper’s Weekly are anything lke co +
- rect.
It is calcniated that the ‘orce of troops neceesary for the task of subjugation would be 50,000 to 150,000 men, Pheetehe ing as they contemplated the reduction of Mavilaand Luzon alone or the entire
group of islands. The pay alone of 50,000 men would be about $50,000,000 a year, and for 150,000
therefore, about $90,000,000. If we add the expenditures incidental to the main« tenance of foreign military poste and to the conduct ot war, we should find the annual cost of troops alone for the reduction of Manila aod Luzon running perilously near $50,000,000, while the cost ofa force for the reduction of the whole archipelago would certainly reach $100,000,000. For the retention of the islands 30,000 men at least would be needed. The mere pay of this force would add about $17 ,000- 000 to the regular army expenditures, and there may be added $3,000,000 more for the expenditure of the commissary, quar- termaster, medical and ordnance depart- ments. To the cost of reducing the is- land and to the $20,000,900 of constant
—
annual expenditure that would be required for the maintenavce of the trooy's of the Depart-
ment of the Pacific, we tnust add at least $10,000,000 unnaul increase to naval ex- penditures, sothat the Philippines would cost Uncle Sam from $60,000,000 to $130, 000,000 year,until their savage inhabitadts were reduced tosubjection, and afterwards about $30,000,000 a year for defence.
What would be the return from this enormous expenditure? Under Spanish rule taxation is very heavy and the revenue received from the islands is about $13,500,~ 000. The United States might obtain $15,000,000 of revenue by reason ef better and more honest administration of the tax laws. From this sum must be deducted the cost of the civil service, of the post office, of the administration of justice, and of other functions of government. The net revenue received by Spain from the islands is less than $300,000. Let us sup- pose that the United States would receive at least $10,000,000 from the cost of the military services, the people of the United States, then, would be obliged to pay in taxes from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 a year while engaged in subjugating the natiyes, and $20,000,000 a year afterwards on account of the Philippines. The last sum 18 nearly as great «s the total value of all the exports of the islands in 1896, which reached the sum of $29,756,250, and nearly twice as great as the total yield of the imports, which in the same year amounted to $10,937,500. These values aré approximaie, but they are those of “The Statemen’s Year Book” for 1898.
The United States exports to the Philip- pines during last year amounted to $127,~ 804, and imports thence to $3,830,415. In other words, it is propdsed to tax the people of the United States to an amount ranging from $20,090,600 to $100,000@,000 @ year in order that some private persons in the United States, some of whom may not even be citizens, shall conduct, under the United States fag, a trade which, all told, has not over an annual value of $4,000,000, and the profits on which may possibly reach $1,000,000. Even if the United States were to capture all the British trade with the islands, it would buy qith its $26,000,000 an annual commerce of alittle more than $10,000,000, and sell to the Philippines $2,500 .@00 of its droducts,

Procress or Ixvention.— (Information furnished by Marion. & Marion, Patent Attorneys, Montreal.)
The number of applications for patents received during the year 1897 is, as bas been stated, the largest in the history of the office. Yet,in all probability, this number will be exceeded inthe coming year. The increase ip the number of appli- | cations filed is a steady increase. Through - out the history of the Patent Office the number of applications filed in any one year has never fallen materially below the number filed in any previous year, and, except in times of genera] financial depres- sion, has uniformly exceeded the oumber filed in any previous year. Taking the average number received for each decade since 1840, this increase is more striking:
