France would be more tranquil II the pop

and politically.
We roresce two objections to the sugges'
,ion of the Alliance oil Ppeoples headed by
the United States the Eng glish economists
will objec, on the score THAI war always
entails expense; the Americans on The
score that w ashington and Jefferson be-
.queathed the precept of non intervention.
Those two great men lived before the iio-
" Alliance. They had not reao in the
Times hint that, if Americans avenged
American blood in Cuba, there might be
combined demand for explanations from
the maratime states of Europe. And Wash
ington was too good a General, Jefferson
too keen q statesman, not to perceive 40"
powerful Il diversion it would be if Euro
nean governments meddled in the waters
of Florida, 10 raise in Europe the prior
question as TO the right Of those govern
men.s TO speak at all on behalf OF 'helr
own states. If they NEEDLE in Cuba, Il
might be possible to ''annex' to The Fede-
ration of Peoples not only Cuba but SPAN
itself; and MT only Spain. Yet the mara
time states look to it; the star-spnngiea oun-
ner in Europe will have turned their posi-
ton.
Nor need thrifty English economists be
alarmed. No English taxes will be need
ed, unless they are.usked to fight against
the PEOPLES; and then they can be refused
by the Faithful Commons. The Fedora
ton of Peoples will fight AZ one great ad'
vantage against the Holy Alliance, Austria
especially. The oespols fight with merce
nary armies, and Austria has bankrupt
excheouer. The Federation Of Peoples
will Fl ght with patriotic forces, and Will
know how TO render the war self>suppori-

cost national debts; bat this victory "f the
Peoples shall purchase their means OF re-

Of the North is harmless where he cannot

the West fresh from tine wlds hardened to
