4HE steady ana surprising prosperity
OF this country since the terrible troubles
which resulted from the civil war culmi-
mated in the panic of 1878. should con-
vince the most bilious pessimist that
peace, under sensible and good princi
pied administration, is the grandcst bless
ing which can fall to any nation. That
great lighter and uneasy diplomatist:
Prince Bismarck, knows this better than
most men, and the opinion of "a man Of
'Eat' t2e;:i his youth up and one who has
''trod the ways Of glory ard studied war
and peace in all their relations is worth
more than the silly earnings oftlosc who
have never drawn sword and scarcely
comprehend the elementary principles of
political economy. Bismarck, advocating
an agreement OF the great powers of
Europe on peace policy. affirms that a
partial disarmament is the only remedy
tor he prevailing depression in finances
and the niseries of the people in various
countries. Too much money is spent on
armies, and too little Cor the alienation
OF the wrongs under which the people
groan. This is the case with England,
whose foreign policy has drained the
treasury and occupied the thoughts of
statesmen to the neglect Of the lower
classes of the English and of the Irish
tenantry. We should rejoice that we
have recovered from Il ieariully disastrous
war, and that the government has guided
the country to peace and prosperity.
