War and Morals in Mexican Conflict Reflections
A dated editorial-like passage argues that war erodes moral standards faster than crime, cites Mexico and Huerta, and critiques American intervention cartoons. It questions the value of American interests in Mexico and warns against ignoring insults from weaker foes.
Cost of Occupation in Mexico Weighs Heavily on Americans
The article analyzes the financial burden of a hypothetical Mexican War and subsequent occupation, estimating initial campaign costs at 2,000,000 daily for six to eight months and a six month occupation at 100,000,000, totaling about 450,000,000 and 250,000 troops, with further costs for longer restraint and garrisons. It argues that protecting corporate holdings would be cheaper than occupation and questions the price in lives.
