What blessed economy it would be If the
teachings OF history could be made available for
the wise government of nations. Just consider
this worsted interest, with its Sl5 00O 900 of capi
tai, down fiat, yet lighting for life against the
senseless revenue laws OF our own country and
the hacking and heWing OF hostile foreigners,
striking at II through lOop-holes in the Custom
House, purposely left there to facilitate covert
warfare on our domestic industry. This dght
was going on last July. The House OF repre-
sentatives came to the rescue OF the imperllled
interest The Senate adiourned-went to the
seaside and to breezy country Places leaving
the struggle to end as it might.
France in 1856, was cursed by treaty with
Great Britain, u trihe worse for the French
woollen manufactures than our existing tariff
treaty with England is for our manufactures
The great Revolution abrogated that treaty
and genius, at once statesman and a soldier,
who didn't adjourn from any duty nor shirk to
seasides or breezy country places became Con-
sui OF France. The industry of the French peo-
pie lay crushed and lifeless under the succes.

grasp the power OF the State, he began TO accom-
plish his patriotic ambition TO develop every
resource of his country, and to appropriate to
France all toe indus tries sciences, and arts of
other countries that could be engrated on her
soil and climate. He declared memoIably,
"Spaln has twenty-five millions of meTino sheep;
wish France TO have one hundred Millions"
Visiting the celebrated 0beThampt's es-
tablishment for printing calicoes, Napoleon said
to him, after eastiug his sight on the perfection
OF his tabr cs:-"Nous tasons tous deux la

The Dissolution of Our Union Armies-A
Spectacle and n Warming for the World.
From The RsrnLd

The Dissolution of Our Union Armies-A
Spectacle and n Warning z for the World,
From the Herald.
"On November (lS66), 1922, ,O2l troops had
been tranlerred, mustered out and paid, leaving
in service 11,043 volunteers, colored and white y
Past experience shows that should any ma
tioDal emergency require a larger force than is
provided by the peace establishment. armies
could be swiftly organized to at least the full
strength of million of men,"
These two sentences are ex racts from the
report OF the Secretary of War. They are plain
staten ents CT lacts; yet they are pregnant with
hnM meaning, ga and cover history such asshas never
oeiore been written of any nation of the earrh
A civil war is the most demoralzing in which a
country can be involved 1t is embittered by
sectional prejudice and personal yndictiyeness
1t Is war of father against son, of brothor
against brother. The feelings it leaves behind
bear no analogy to those engendered by war
against a foreign enemy. The one rudely
tears asunder all the nearest relations of
lie and bequeathes legacy of hatred and
revenge; the other serves to bind q people
mere hrmly together in the bonds of national
pride ana OF common sympathy. After five
years of such a trying and demoralizing
war as that through which this country has
passed, we now present to the world the grand
and wonderful spectacle OF an army of over
million OF men, quietly dissolved, and returned
back to the peaceful occupations of life, without
trouble, without excitement, and without dis
turbing by ripple the steady flow of CONNER
cial and industrial interests. Thanks to the
education and the Intelligence of the American
people, the license of camp life is forgotten as
easily as the habiliments OF the soldier are laid
aside. The carnival Of blood is no sooner ended
than the ferocity and lcentousnessit engenders
are forgotten. The soldier lays down the musket
and the bayonet to take up the plough, the
hammer, or the pen. There is no marked in
crease OF crime; no organized bands of cutthroats
and robbers prowl about the country.
There is nothing, in fact, TO show that vast
army has been released from the camp and the
field, and let loose upon society, eyceplta simple
paragraph in an official report informing us that
over one million of soldiers have been mustered
out of service and transported to their homes.
From the same source we are reminded that in
case of national emergency this million of
men would swiftly leave the peaceful pursuits
Of life to which they have so quietly returned,
and would spring forth again an army of dis
ciplined and determined soldiers ready for the
field. What a spectacle does this present, and
what warning does it convey to the decaying
monarchies OF the Old World, who, in their
scnillty, have been calculating upon the failure
and anticipating the destruction of our young
and vigorous republic!
