NATIONAL DECADENCE
Growing Solidarity of the World Makes
1t Empty Phrase

What renders much of the present
talk about national decadence partic-
ularly empty is the unmistakable, grow
ing solidarity of the world. The prim-
tive theory of commerce, still adhered
to in the Congo, perhaps, and at Wash
ington, held that one of two parties to
a bargain was bound to be the victim.
Economists have now taught us taht
free exchange will benefit buyer and sell
Ter alike. One of the two may get the
better of the bargain, as we call it;
but the whole process is based on the
principle that both get a certain amount
of good out of it. 1t is largely the same
with modern historical evolution. Ma
tions may compete, but even when one
nation gets so decidedly the better of
the other, as Germany did of France
in 1870, good acerues to both. Germany
attained the hegemony in Europe, but
| France, out of the ashes of defeat,
built up a more complete democracy
than she had had since the revolution.
| No nation can progress without drawing
other nations along with her. Our own
unparalleled material development does
not imnly retrogression for Europe. On
the contrary, Great Britain, Ireland,
Northern Europe, Italy, in giving us
their surplus population have themselves
profted immensely. By commerce, by
the telegraph, and the cable; by the tri-
umphs of science which knows no eoun-
try, by such international movements as
socialism and the emancipation of wo.
men, it is being made less and less pos
sible for one nation to sicken and de.
cay without inficting hurt beyond its
boundaries, or to move forward toward
healthier life without impelling Others
in the same direction.

TO CREATE PROSPERITY.

Now, when labor is cheap and abun.
dant, when building material is lower
than it has been for some years, when
iron is down in price, when machine
shops can accept and fill orders within
a reasonable time, is prominently the
opportunity for the far-seeing man to
prepare for the future and for the
hustling man or concern to secure bust
ness, says the Manufacturers Record,
In this time of dizziness and low prices,
when the timid folks are unwilling to
spend dollar for fear prosperity Will
never return, the man of strength and
force and business ability should be
putting his factory into shape, re-equip.
ping it with the best machinery, en-
larging his plant, in order to enable
him to produce to the best advantage
and at the lowest cost This is a great
time, time of opportunity for the
business man who wants to be ready
to reap his full harvest of prosperity
with the next swing of the pendulum
from present depression to the high
water mark of the future. Nobody need
imagine for one moment that this coun-
try will not soon right itself. Nobody
need imagine that public opinion will
not be on the side of property rights
and the upbuilding forces of the coun-
try, compelling legislators to join in
constructive rather than destructive
work.
This is the time for men who can
command capital and for municipal and
county authorities to carry forward
their projected improvements. Hun
dreds of thousands of laborers are out
of employment, wages are low and ma
terials can be had at much lower
cost than last year. Under such cir
cumstances men who expect to build
and can secure the needed money ought
to go ahead at once, while states, cities,
towns, and counties which have planned
for public improvements should act i'm
mediately. They would thus secure the
lower cost of construction work and
help to create prosperity.
