LII It will be recalled that none 81 the
bridge contractors here / Saturday
evening offered any bids on the
bridge. They made the absurd
claim that the specifications were
such thatno bid could be made. A
more likely theory is that they knew
OF Alderman Martins little estimate
that had been prepared to head of
any schemes of bidders, and so gave
up in despair. However, that esti'
mate bears quite a family resem-
blance to the specifications. -

DOMINION OF CANADA
LESSON OF ANCIENT HISTORY
Interesting in View of Recent
Events in the United States.

Interesting in View of Recent
Events in the United States.
To the Editor of the Globe:
We read Of an ancient republic. That
republic was the Roman Just now its
history is of value to this more recent
republic. Self-government was quail
fication of that ancient people, With
this there was love of industry, coupled
with frugality. With these came pros
perity and plenty. Next came luxury,
RIGHTEOUSNESS and every crime in the
catalogue of crimes. Then followed the
effort to stay the tide Of corruption by
legislation.
With prosperity came the massing OF
wealth in the hands of the few; and the
degradation of the masses. Political cor
ruption came with wealth. The rich
could, and did, buy their way into office;
could and did defeat the intent of the
laws, and even defeat legislation intend
ed for the benefit of the people. The
condition of the masses developed the
spirit of paternalism. This state of
things continued till bribery was the
rule Every man had his price. Money
would purchase votes. Money could buy
official positions. Men would spend large
sums to secure government positions.
and this was followed by high-handed
oppression of the people in order to re-
fill their Golfers. Want. idfeness and
crime abounded.
While yet a republic, protesting the
principles of justice, liberty and equal
rights. that ancient republic became a
world power That republic actually
raised armies, saifed across great seas
and fought battles on behalf of OPP
pressed people, all at it's own expense.
This 1t did for the very love OF liberty
itself. That people claimed to be the
conseryators of the freedom of the world.
But oil the time they took care that the
government of these liberated peoples
should be administered in the interests
of Rome And all the while the already
wealthy Romans, could and did, avail
themselves or these interests W ihei case
their wealth.
Thus. while the rich became richer,
and the poor grew poorer, the Romans
were continually being told that their
freedom was assured-that they were a
free people And, all this time, almost
from the force of circumstances, the peo-
pie were loosing the power OF sef-gov-
eminent.
When that Roman republic became a
world power, there was an evergro"llg
necessity for an increase in the army
Disappointment and discomfort in the
countries that Rome had freed Cd from
their oppressors, and oftentimes re-
bellion: with continual irritation at home
between the rich and the poor, want,
degradation and chagrin of the masses
at the evident loss OF their liberties,
made militarisnl necessity.
Thus 1t was that that ancient people
that ancient republic. degenerated from
a government of the people into mill
tary despotism; and thence into a des-
potism of the one-man power And, for
all the world, this reads like the history
of this last republic. III r. Pheips.
