The prediction followed refer- | | | | ence by President Lincoln in his State of the Union message ear- lier this week to the financial support by individuals and banks of the Federal govern- ment’s war efforts. { “It is gratifying to know that the expenditures made neces- | sary by the rebellion are not be- yond the resources of the loyal people,’ said the chief execu- tive in his message. The treasury aide said the cost of the conflict is now about 1.5 million—and mounting fast. o meet this spiraling outlay, loans of at least $250 million will be needed during the up- coming 12 months, he asserted. * Ed * REACTION continued to pour in, meanwhile, to the Presi- dent’s austere, yet optimistic, report to Congress and the people. Surprisingly little of the comment has been adverse so far, although Mr. Lincoln laced his report with re- marks on controversial is- sues ranging from the role of labor in a free society to the Confiscation act. Mr. Lincoln jolted many fac- tions of Congress with the asser- tion that the Union must extend a diplomatic hand to the re- cently-organized Negro nations of Liberia and Haiti. * * * AFTER a detailed denuncia- tion of the African slave trade, the President declared: “If any good reason exists why we should persevere longer { in withholding our recognition of the independence and sov- ereignty of Haiti and Liberia, I am unable to discern it.” Swinging the theme to the Confiscation act, under which Negroes owned by disloyal slaveholders were ordered set free, Mr. Lincoln said flatly: “The legal claims of certain persons to the labor and service of certain other persons have become forfeited.” * * *® COMMENTING on ‘‘the effort to place capital on an equal footing with, if not above, labor, | in the structure of govern- ment,” the President declared that labor had in recent years assumed the reins of the na- tion’s destiny. ! This Week...in THE CIVIL WAR 1 ay exactly 100 years ago this week in the Civil War—told i in wwe tanguage and style of today.) ; Set 1862 War Cost At $500 Million, Plus THE PRESIDENT Excerpts from his lengthy discourse on this topic: - “It is assumed that labor is available only in connection with capital; that nobody la- bors unless somebody else, owning capital, somehow by the use of it induces him to la- bor... . ‘Now, there is no such re- lation between capital and la- bor as assumed, nor is there any such thing as a free man being fixed for life in the con- dition of a hired laborer. . . . Both these assumptions are false, and all inferences from them are groundless . . . “Labor is prior to, and inde- pendent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if la- bor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher con- sideration . . . “No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty—none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not hon- estly earned. Let them beware of surrendering a political pow- er which they already possess, and which, if surrendered, will surely be used to close the door of advancement against such as they, and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon them, till all of liberty shall be lost.” Peg Army Pay At $13 a Month WASHINGTON, D.C.—Dec. 8 —Base pay of an infantry pri- vate now stands at $13 a month.
