All this meant additional TAXATION not for pro-
noting the arts al peace, not for extending pro-
ductive industries, but to pay the cost Of the
destructive war, for which the future industry of
the country mortgaged. Professor Levi
points out that one half OF these six score of
years had been spent in moulding and shaping
the political condition of Europe, and the other
half - in settling the best economic policy for the
production of wealth." He shows what happen
ed during the first sixty years succeeding 1906
During that time Prussia became Power
Russia aggrandised herself at the expense OF
neighboring States; Poland lost her indepen-
dence the German States, divided and couvu
sed, were the ready prey to foreign ambition.
The United States OF America declared their in
dependence Britain extended and consolidated
her authority over India; France awoke from her
torpor, and free from the tyranny of an effete
royal house, laid down principles of political and
social rights, which quickened the sympathies OF,
and moved to action nearly every state and PEG
pie in Central and Southern Europe. But while
these changes were effected by force alas, be-
cause the rulers OF the earth ere ever deficient 10
wisdom to avert, and in power to hinder the err
rupton of flames which their misrule creates
commerce lay PROSTATE, industry dead, and trad
ers dared not pursue their calling. During the
French war, which lasted quarter OF q century,
maritime commerce was hunted from sea TO sea.
Ships were arrested, searched and captured for
the goods they bought. the license and papers
they had on board. and the true and false con-
tracts they produced. While the belligerents
were intent upon battling each others vigilance
and destroying each others power, ueutrals did
not know what they could and what the could
not do; shipowners found their ships in distant
ports arrested by blockade war risks rendered
marine insurance immensely expensive chance
of capture discouraged the employment of ships
freights were dear, and with both production and
consumption at the lowest ebb, and confidence
utterly destroyed trade continued for years
small in amount hazardous and Improbable.
| The sixty years that have elapsed since 1916
have been years, on the whole, of peace. and they
have been years of experiment on the conditions
of economic progress. Years when Adam Smith
and John Sturt Mill, Say, and Michael Ceeva-
ler, by digging deeper into the origin of wealth,
and into the condition of those who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow, have been able
| to elevate labor from state OF sem-serfdom
into one OF independence and dignity. Happy
years. as compared with their predecessors, and
with peace maintained, what progress has been
achieved, what change in the condition of the
masses, what development in art and industry,
what increase of commerce, what advance in
| civilization and science.
| From the same source. we copy the following
instructive figures, setting forth the increase du-
ring the past sixteen years, with the national
| debts of the six countries who in these years
| have been concerned in costly wars -

Perhaps at juncture like the present, when
we see trembling 10 the balance the question OF
whether the war which now RACES shall expand
its death-laden wings until the lurid gloom shall
over-shadow all Europe, it may be well to con-
slider, with what calmness We may something of
the cost OF such a struggle as may even now be
impending The magnitude of the more direct
money cost, great as it is. is but tribe in COM
parison with the waste of humaa life, the horrors
OF the strife. and the ruin Of cities, the destruc
ton Of thousands of homes. and all the multitu-
dnous woes which the struggles of great armies
bequeath to fertile regions, over which they pass
IN their blasting progress How commerce is
paralysed we know; but few consider the extent
by which successful commercial intercourse
among nations-which means the comfort of
millions of happy homes-suffers in ITS inter-
change and its production by those wars, which

DISCIPLINE REQUIRED.

The letter In another column from our
Washington correspondent will be found In
teresting and instructive to Southern Demo
Gratis. Lack OF thorough Organization and
discipline has time and again led to the de
feat Of the Democratic party when victory
seemed easy Of accomplishment On the
other hand. the Republican party is thor
oughly drilled and odisciplined and Ia
prepared to contest every district In
the Union, and Is so well kept
In hand that II Is never impossible for It to
recover any lost ground from its half-organ-
lied opponents. This superior discipline is no
doubt due In a measure to the fact that the
Republicans have possession u the govern
ment. with its vast armysof Offices and its
immense patronage. But II Is due In larger
measure TO powerful press, well sustained.
which creates and organizes public opinion on
Republican basis. Indeed, the Republican
newspapers or the North have actually
preached down the consultation and estab-
lished mighty sentiment entirely adverse to
the principles of that instrument
In the North there are few Democratic pa-
pers worthy to be designated Democratic
organs. while In the South, with few excep-
tions. the ability of the Democratic press is

the people that the true policy Of our people is
subserviency to the North II is time that
this should be stopped. oI II is time that the
Southern press took bold and decided ma

that the South is rs much part o1 the Union

THE LOSS or THE POMERANIA.


The running down and sinking OF the
steamer Pomerania by tie bark Noel Eilian
aids another 70 the long list Of disasters OF q
similar nature that have occurred In the
English Channel. This narrow passage Is
one OF the most perilous In all the world Of
waters, and the old seaman always approaches
its entrance with apprehension The careful
commander, who has found time to make
himself agreeable In the cabin, now disap.
pears, and can be found only In the chart
room or on the bridges. He knows
the dangers of the Channel and the
need of the utmost oprecauton. Col
lison is the perpetual dread that haunts
his mind az he gropes his way through the
fog which hides all danger till 1t can no longer
he averted 1t Is to these fogs that the perils
Of this passage ara DUE and to them are
attributable nearly all Of the disasters that
have occurred there. Through 1t pour con-
tnually the fleets Of tho greatest trading
nations Of the world. Crowded with vessels
and haunted by frequent fogs,o has been the
sepulchre OF many gallant craft Here the
Schiller and Deutschland went ashore and
were wrecked. 1t was In these same waters
that the Adriatic sunk the ship Harvest
Queen, not a soul being saved from the lost
vessel. On almost this Identical spot where
the Pomerana went down, the Franconia ran
down the Strathclyde, with a loss OF fifty two
souls Here the Northfleei went down with
fearful loss OF life, and the KONG Wilhelm
crushed into and sank the. Grosser Kurfurst,
which went down with 800. lives Besides

So experienced commander % Capt
Schwensen was not likely to underestimate
the dangers Of the Channel The German
lines have high reputation for careful man
agement and cautious seamanship. and
among all its commanders there was none
who had higher reputation than this brave
old veteran. This was hfs enc hundred and
twenty round trirl between Hamburg
and New York, and his log showed that he
had travelled round million of miles In com
mand of a ship. 1t Is relatedsof him that his
great caution and vigilance saved his vessel

their locality and course But, when fog

usual to observe Theses precautions. They
are always observed. showever. even
in mid-ocean on the German lines,
and their steamers sIacken speed when
the lookout Is uncertain and proceed with
caution, according to the o5scurity. On the
last trip Of the Pometanla to New York, when
four days out from Havre, she encountered
fog bank. and though there was small chance
