Before a government ran go to war, soldiers must be engaged and trained, fed and clothed, firmed aqd transported to the scene of action. Men must be paid to enroll and drill the troops; butchers, bakers and grocers, tailors, shoemakers and batmakere, gunra&kers and the manufacturers of shot and shell must all be paid for the work they do, or the goods they furnish; laborers must bs hired to handle stores and supplies, wagons and drivers to transport them, railroad and steamship companies do not work for nothing, and thus at every point, a government that would go to war is compelled to spend money in enormous amounts, for whatever is needed must be had' at once, and he government is often forced to pay exorbitant prices for the advantage taken of It necessity by those who have something to sell. The debt of France, ' for Instance, last year amounted to $6,446,793,398, the most stupendous national obligation in the history of finance. This sum, inconceivable in Its magnitude, a mountain load which will burden the French people for generations to come, was Incurred by one short war. The Franco-Prussia- n conflict lasted only a few short months, and It not only decided the place of France In the family of Europe, but It saddled the nation with a debt whleh In all probability will never be paid. No such indemnity aa that demanded by Germany from France was ever asked by any nation; the fact that It was paid with msrvelous promptness ts the strongest tribute that can be offered, not only to the commercial and Industrial prosperity, but to the patriotic xeal of the French. The debt of Russia Is mostly the result of the giant military establishment by which the Iron- - Empire Is maintained In its integrity. During the past few years considerable additions to the Russia debt have been caused by the extension of the empire's railroad systems along the Ao(UhcrsaEdw?strnfronttcra,but Imore especially In Siberia. The rail-.redebt of Russia, however. Is but a trifle compared with the army debt, land whea it is remembered that the Roes ion army on a peace footing numbers over 804,000 men,, no surprise ,aSd he falt at tho etatesoant Usi tks Russian debt Is over three and a half billions. While France, Russia and Great Britain have the heaviest burdens of debt and taxation, there are other nations afflicted with obligations not so large In amount, but even heavier when compared with the national ability to pay. The debt erf Italy.Tor Instance, Is $2,324,826,329, and that of Austria $2866,3939, .but la each ease the resources of the country are more severely taxed to meet this smaller obligation than are those of the three larger states which have a much heavier debt, and in each case the obligation was Incurred either by war or by preparations for warlike con,tingencies that might arise- Leaving out of the calculation the aecond-ra- t powers, ths people of the leading States of Europe are now paying Interest on ths. stupendous sum of $22,' ths greater portion of 186,000,000, which was expended either in war or on armies and navies. We ourselves have had an expert ence of the eost of war. Our debt at present is a little more than two billions, a mere trifle whea compared with the wealth and resources of this great country, bat the debt Itself, like that of every other nation. Is, In the main, the heritage of war. . Our national obligations were heavy Immediately after thy close of (be revolution, but were rapidly undergoing liquidation when the second war with Great Britain came on. The various Indian wars, tbs war with Mexico, the civil war, and the recent conflict with Spain are all accurately noted In Hie movement of the public debt. ad !

An evaporating and preserving factory has been set Bp at North Yakima and for use in it the company ordered a potato peeling machine from Germany. It la said that the rapacity of the machine, which la operated by steam, is three tons a day. Ti plant is capable of consuming six tons of raw potatoes dally and a second machine will soon be put In. The manager estimates that he will consume at least 100 tons of Yakima Burbanks this season. Several women and girls are employed In the ' work at' wage ranging from 75 cents to more than double that amount a day. They are paid by the quantity peeled, sliced or' spread on traya, thus making the wages depend upon the individual of the wage earners. The potatoes are peeled raw and after slicing very thin are placed in traya and cooked by steam. This removes the water, estimated at about 80 per cent of the tuber, and leaves ths eotids or nutriment in the slices They then go through the drying process, which is on the principle of dry steam heat, ths pipes passing through the evaporator near each row of traya The evaporating apparatus In the North Yakima plant contains over one mile of pipes carrying the heat to the traya A wire screen Is kept over each tray during the drying to prevent dirt from settling upon the sliced potatoes Chicago Chronicle. ex-erti- our chocGlatbindustrv.
