War VIII Not Make Good Times.

In carefully prepared article tho
Railroad Gazette shows that war with
Spain would not make times good, :"
as so many people seem to think. Rail
rGads running north and south might
do little extra business in moving
troops and supplies, but not much, as
the number of troops to be moved would
DO small and the supplies not of great
amount.
At first thought, the article continues,
one would say that the great iron and
steel industries would be stimulated,
for iron and stsel are emphaticaIly war
materials. But ail the iron required
for proiectiles, for guns aud for such
small war craft Us may be put under
immediate construction could be but an
insignificant percentage of the great
output of the furnaces and the mills
10 interrupt the building Of, let us
say, the new East River bridge, or Of a
dozen great steel franc buildings, would
1ave more effect on ths minus side of
the iroL market than the military re-
quirements would have on the plus
side.
The same reasoning ia true, only in
greater degree, Of all the great indus.
tries. The situation would not be com
parable with that which existed during
the years of our Civil War Then vast
armies were 10 the field. Theae armies
had to be clothed and fed, with the
result that the price of wool, leather
and all food supplies went up. Fur.
thermure, the number of men with.
drawn from useful employmsnts was
large enough to make really serious
effect on the labor market, and to put
UP in some degree the scale of wages,
But even with that condition il is, WI
suppose. fact that wages did not ris,
proporiionately with the cost OF living.
1t is further fact that notwithstand
ing abnormal activity in certain line,
there was depression and almost stagna
tion, in many other lines. and takin.
the country over the lot of the poo
people was harder than in the years O.

We print elsewhere an editorial from
the New York Evening Post, headed
"Doliheration." Ths point it brings
out, that "the most striking feature Of
the Declaration OF Independence is
the spirit OF elaboration which it
hreathes," is most timely, for surely
the people of the United states have
not at this time the just cause for war
that inspired the men who adopted that
immortal declaration. Deliberation sci
