quarrel as to the meaning of christianity or the of the whereby those who were should be distinguished from those who were not entitled to bear the christian name this contrast a great wrong somewhere and for which somebody must be responsible i merely suggest it for general consideration and pass on not fully with the peace movement in the actual condition of europe i was not a and did not attend the first two days i see not how any one who does not hope to live and by injustice oppression and murder can be otherwise than p a s s b to peace but suppose there is a of die human family who won t have peace nor let others have it what then if you say let us have it as soon as we can i respond with all my heart i would war even against or no longer than is absolutely necessary to inspire them with a of peace or put them where they can no longer the peace of others but so long as and shall say � as they now practically do say all over europe yes we too are for peace but it must foe peace with absolute submission to our good pleasure � peace with two thirds of the fruits of human labor devoted to the of our luxurious the maintenance of our pomp the indulgence of our unbounded desires � it must be a peace which leaves the millions in darkness in hopeless degradation the slaves of superstition and the helpless victims of our i answer no on your conditions no peace is possible but everlasting war rather until your unjust pretensions are abandoned or until your power of them is destroyed i have felt a painful apprehension that the of the peace movement confined as it is to the liberal party and acting on a state of things which almost unbounded power to the is calculated to break the spirit of down trodden nation and by thus the inevitable struggle to an indefinite period the advent of that reign of universal justice which alone can in the glorious era of universal peace and had i been a to this universal peace i should perhaps have its harmony and its happiness by asking it to consider and vote upon some such proposition as this that in to all men everywhere the duty of and peace we bear in mind the s mr t pure then and do not deny but affirm the right of a nation invaded by a foreign or oppressed by its own rulers to resist force by force n at i rejoice in being able to say that the general tendency of the speeches was towards universal mental and physical i doubt whether an english audience composed in so large proportion of the respectable classes ever listened to so much downright before the french the were full of it and the great event at least of the last day s was the entrance of a body of fifteen french workmen to the w s exhibition of the working associations of paris who came in a body to pledge their hearts and hands to the cause of universal peace and to assure the that the the of france were eminently pacific in their ideas and purposes and that the preservation of the republic which is the immediate object of their exertions is valued not more in its relation to their personal rights and aspirations than as a step toward the formation of a european of nations and thus as the corner stone of the temple of universal peace the speeches of these workmen just from their benches in shops of paris were every way admirable and were received with the enthusiasm they breathed the true spirit not of peace only but of hearty in every work calculated to promote the moral and social weu being of mankind the wretched cant which natural between france and england or any other two nations was emphatically by them and every variety of forcible expression given to the earnest desire of the laboring classes of france that peace freedom and brotherhood shall prevail not in their own country merely but throughout the world mr had made his great speech on the preceding day wherein the grievous and hideous of standing armies were vividly he did not hesitate to speak straight out on the subject of the influence of armies on the people among whom they were or posted and the broad track of moral desolation which an armed force where leaves behind it if the facts in this connection were but generally known i think there would soon be a loud call from christians and for the entire and of every standing army editor of la spoke more especially of the enormous expense of armies and the they render necessary � mr spoke again yesterday in more immediate of the enormous standing army maintained by not merely throughout its own but in other countries also the which its government is constantly and the gulf of to which it is rapidly hurrying he said there were that another loan would be attempted in london and if it should be he should urge the call of a public meeting to expose the past of in dealing with her and to hold up to public whoever should touch the loan � mr samuel the banker also spoke in of for war purposes and all who to or encourage them � edward mi all editor of also spoke forcibly against war m an eminent french and writer read a witty essay in of war and all other for human life which being given first in french and then in english very hearty there were many more including mr british m p m french chamber of m an italian banker j s dr of and joseph who moved that a similar be held next year at a time
