The system of borrowing money to
carry on war is not Of very old date.
Probably the older debts of all the
larger nations do not run back much
more than 200 years ago, and the bulk
of them has been contracted in this
century. but / very much doubt il the
system will have Very long run. and
if another hundred years will fad any
people willing to use its credit, CT bond
its people t. carry on war. for there is
no transaction that results SO disad-
vantageously to thu welfare Of the la
borer, and 50 advantageously 10 the
capitalist. Clese investigation would

to try to show Why it is tia. govern.

of the system.
] shall say nothing about the folly of
war; ut this time nations do not ENGAGE
in it, as lule, without what they think
are sufficient reasons, but | shall look
into the methods followed to procure
the sinews Of war.
To prosecute war. two things arr
needed: men and material. To procure
the first, the men are drafted. to pro-
cure the second. money Is borrowed.
A, POOR man, With i family depend

to become food for powder; Is. a rich
man, having either money or material
to spare, his property IS not taken or
borrowed Mt such rates rs the Govern
ment decides. but borrowed Oh such
terms as B chooses to dictate. Tie
Government does no. hesitate to in
fringe on As personal rights and takes
bodily possession of him, but respects

Had not every war been conducted
for the advantage of the wealthy, We
