THE Baltimore Sun holds the jingoes
responsible for the continuance of hard
times. It we'll says that the talk OF
war, by preventing investments in new
enterprises, but protracts the hard
times, and it thinks we ought to re-
adopt the policy of Washington, Ito
mind our own business and eschew
brilliant foreign adventures prompted
by misguided sentiment" It adds that
war between the United States and
Spain would cause an amount of mis-
cry hundredfold greater than now
exists in Cuba, or could exist if the
whole population were destroyed. For
every Cuban that cow suffers a hun
