! This turn in human affairs is not only
wonderful it is miraculous
| The powerful conversion Of the chief
plutocrats of two continents to the
principles of William Penn is an event
not to be passed without note Of ad
miration 1t is only once in a while
that the nalevolent powers of this
world get a conscience in them and so
fall in love with the human race Such
a thing is we'll calculated to excite sus
picion; it requires at least to be ex-
planned
Hitherto the money autocncy of the
world has always been anxious for war.
1t was by war indeed that the money
power came into bcing, and by that
agency 1t has mounted to the throne Of
the nations Battle has been to the
plutocratic empire the one beautiful
and inspiring fact in history. War has
always demanded resources. War has
to be supported with what orators call
tho sinews' of war War must he fed
and supplied and strengthened at an ex-
penditure that would bs appalling 10
che human imagination if il wers not |
so glorious Hence when war begins
borrowing begins The bond office is
established, and for Shylock the bond /
office Is the open gate into the boule
Yards Of Elysiunl.
1t Is by this method that the great
war-debts Of the world have been
created They have been created for
tho benefit Of plutocracv At the expense
Of the toiling millions. To this extent
the scheme Of war has harmonized per
fectly with the purpose Of Shylock.
The war god and the god Of gold have
been a pair Of noble brothers. Their
dominion hiss been extended and con
drned until at last every great nation
of the earth owns their sway. That
The god Of gold should here at tho close

.olve bis partnership with the god Of

o After this deliverance shylock turns
3 aside, and musing in tho dim light oI
1 his office, says, sotto vOce: 'Jf they
$ fight any more, tho interest on nv

Pity it is that I cannot encourage war
any longer; that / am obliged by the
unfayorable state of my business to hold
back these nations from continuing to
cut one anothers Threats form my benefit
but such is the case
The reyerio of Sbylock continues
thus Il note that reckless leaders in
several countries, for tho sake of hold
ing their leadership, are appealing to
the war spirit, and melting their re-
spectivo peoples to arms They arc
fools. They seem not to know that
they cannot make war without me. II
will not let them fight; for it has be.
come dangerous to the business inter,
ests' of the world | will let the fool |
patriots blow . little for that is neces. |
sary in election years; but after week
or two of such oratorical exercises T !
will pluck them by the tails of their
coats, and say, Come down And tbey
will come down
This situation is horribly amusing,
1t is enough tn cause shud,ler in the
heart Of humanity. The money power
OF the world is an alliance with the
governments Of the world. These GOV
ennients think, not without reason,
that without such alliance they cannot ,
survive. In all of them that are con Il
dnctod by party the money power is in
ieague with the party; that is, with the 4
dominant party. The dominant party Z
subsists by means Of popular enl husiasm t
md plrtocratic support The party Is /
obliged TO kindle enthusiasm or perish. /
Even in monarckies, such al Great 7
Britain and Germany there 1nust be a I /,
perpetual rally of the people to the ih
standard Of the party in power. The b
necessary enthusiasm Is one Of the prod C
lcts of war and of warliks agitation. /,
The party is therefore for war. The
'arty leaders of every country are h
nrions to promote at least the spirit Of a
var in order to gain popular favor BY q

| Whatever else Shylock is he is not a
fool. He knows when he has gone fa1
enough. His wits have been sharpened
by ages ofancestral experience and evo
lution. Heredity has made him the
most cunning and the most discerning,
as well az the most pliable of all living
creatures. As vulpine philosopher he
is the nonpareil Of this world. He has
present sight, bindsight, and foresight
ne has pure vision and contrivance. He
holds no relations to anything. He has
no kindred and no country Like death,
no has all seasons for his own. All
peoples, all conditions, all forms Of SO,
ciety, all hopes and enterprises of the
human race are the crude materials of
his art. With these ho iuggles and ex
perimenta, and out of them he deduces
wisdom which has been reinforced by
hereditary experiences and made secure
by the elimination Of conscience
Shylock porceiyes that he cannot
further increase his holdings by tho
method OF war; that is, he cannot fur.
ther enlarge his bond without danger
He perceives that the very process by !
which he has amassed mis- nnearned
treasures is about to turn the other way.

WHYEDDY LEFT.

Fergus Falls Journal: The
effort has been made to ascertain
Congressman Eddy's real reason
for leaving Washington. He has
no serious opposition, he is not
interested in the gubernatorial
fight and his friends will beat loss
to understand his coming. A letter
from Washington today explains.
The Minnesota Blizzard is there
and has served notice on him that
she is going to stay until she gets
everything she is after. He has
endeavored to make her think
that Senator Nelson was the man
she wanted to see, but as Eddy
was still getting a part Of her at.
tention, on account of his attrac.
tiyeness, he came away to give the
senator show.
