I'his is indeed true of Spain. Her
history is a succession of revolutions
in which the mother country
was always worsted. S lor history
is one of bloodshed. The lostory
of Spain as she is to-day is
interesting. The present Constitution
of Spain was proclaimed in
? \ l^To. It proclaims the govern
I * ment to lie a constitutional mmig
archv, the executive resting in the
Kinjr, the p#ower to make laws "in
the (Vrtes with the Kinp.'' The

Spain gets its revenue by a

monopolies, etc. Direct taxes are
, imposed on landed properties,
; houses, live stock, commerce, registration
acts, titles of nobility,

'f j come from foreign import1*, arti*t

? Spain i? an agricultural conn(>
try. In the early par! of the cente
ury the country was owned by
landed proprietors wlio had acquired
great tracts of land, but
1 i in recent years these tracts have
>' been divided and have passed in
'* j to t lie hands of small farmers and
(> fruit growers. The grapo is the
's most important culture, but large
^ quantities of oranges, raisins,
(" nuts, nnd olives are exported
every year. Spain is rich in minr'
erals, the annual value of her
? mineral exports being about JL'd,"M
640,000. She also manufactures
M | cotton goods. She has nearly 70,'
000 looms. Her imports for 1896,s
1)7 amounted to J?21),:hi0,900. Iler
I
J" exports brought her in 0:14,890,100.

"l SPAIN I.KISTI.KS WITH Fours.
' If in our war with Spain our
1 navy and army arc compelled to
01 cross the *ea and", invade the
mother country j, they will lind
l* that it is well defended from inn
vasion by a cordon of forts and
fortified towns drawn completely
'' around her fronti?>r
~! Spain maintains a permanent
S-j army. She also has what is known
" as an active reserve and a sedon'
tary reserve, each of which could
he relied upon for support in
r" time of war. Any Spaniard above
a the aof I!) is liable to he callr
ed upon to serve in the perma11
nent army for three years. From
" tins part of the army the soldiers
r passes to the active reserve for
three years' service, and from
thence to the sedentary reserve
' for ?ix years'service. IJv paying
lmWO pesetas any one may escape
\ service. The colonial army rov
q.uires "every able-bodied subject
to'serve eight years in the various
rosorves. Thus most of the
( king's subjects are militiamen,
arid it i* {estimated that in time
?f need Spain could easily tnoboj
lize an elficieiit army of 1,08'),505
|(] men. The standing army mini(
bers about'70,000 men, although
>t, recently levies make* thig'huraber
m nearer 100,000. Spain's navy is

vessels have a normal speed <
