Ruskiu well saws: I'VE must discover
a kind of commerce which Is not exclu-
sively selfish or rather will have TO dls-
cover that there never was or can be
any other kind Of commerce; that this
which they have called commerce Is not
commerce at all, but cozening; hat
true merchant differs "a much from
merchant according to the laws OF mod
ern political economy as the hero OF the
excursion from Autolycos. They Will ind
that commerce is an occupation which
gentleman will every day see more need
to engage in. rather than in the business
of talking to men or Staying them; that
in true commerce, as III true preaching
or true fighting. it is necessary to apply
the idea of occasional voluntary loss.
For sixpences have to be lost as well as
lives, under "a sense Of duty, that the
market may have its martyrdoms as
well as the pulpit, and trade its hero
isms as well as war.
COOPERATION VERSUS COMPETITION.
Third-The climax of true CONNER
cial genius must therefore be to build
/ prosperity upon the prosperity of the
whole community.
OF the community first in which he
lives. because that community makes 1t
| possible for him to succeed. Co-opera-
ton, not competition, therefore must be
the end aimed at.
He must build his prosperity upon the
prosperity. not only of his limited COM
munity, but of the whole world, for
f trade is universal in its genius, the first
$ cord with which God has bound nation
t to nation. | am bounl with every ma
: ton of the world by the ties of the mer-
Y chant and his commerce.
There are no aliens III this world of
f real trade.
Y The islander i'll the sea, who sends the
9 banana to my child, is my friend and
r benefactor.
h The African, who gathers the ivory
and carries it across the desert to make
: an ornament for my home or my loved
g one, is my brother.
8 The Chinaman, who cunningly con.
t structs the fireworks which please the
: soul of the child on the Fourth of July
0 and ON the gala nights of our festivals
n he is of my life.
g So also is the Russian, who sends his
n robes to make warm the sleigh and the
Q carriage. Each nation that gives it,
@ tribute to the others life is thus bound
l. in that life.
ii Let US remember, then, that when we
i walk the floor of the worlds exchanges
we walk on holy ground, and we should
II make it sacred unto God.
q Let US remember that to violate thu
laws Of trade is to violate the laws o.
e God.
9 To get something for nothing out O.
II the community is to steal in the las
Ii analysis and to fail in the end. And le
q US remember that the broadest minded
