And why not have them? Such
a feet would not cost hall as
much as one week of war, one
would think that the friends of
peace would demand them as a
guaranty against war. What
would we think of a man who
would not permit his son to learn
to handle his hands and harden
the muscle on his arms, lest he
might sometime knock down a
blackguard? Regularly we see
published the cost ofships ofwar,
and it is always published as
though it were money lost. Vic
tor Hugo estimated that the sa-
lutes fired from ships and forts
|
around the world, intwenty-four
hours, amounted to one hundred
and fifty thousand useless shots,
and added: sat six francs the
shot, that comes TONNE hundred
thousand francs a day; three mil
lions year. This is a mere de-
tail. All this time the poor were
dying of hunger" Now, is there
anything really lost when a ships
guns fire a salute2 Some powder
is ignited and explodes. What
/
is gun powder? A combination
OF some elements ofair and water
and earth. All are worthless I'M
til by the genius and skill of man
they are united in such a way
that they form a substance which
has explosive power. When the
explosion comes those elements
are released. That is all. Moth
ing is lost. The cost is in the la
Dor required in its manufacture.
The laborer is paid, but that is
merely transferring some money
in a treasury belonging to the
people back among the people.
Nothing is lost there. 1t is true
that The poor sometimes die OF
hunger, but that would not be if
the government could give them
work, like making from worth
less material something like gun
powder and could pay them for
their work.
We look at a feet of battle
ships, and, with awe, tell what
the ships cost. But was any
thing lost by that cost? Let US
see. In the ground are beds OF
iron and measures of coal. In
the gloom where they have rested
through the ages, they are worth
less. To make them valuable
they must be brought forth and
put to use.
Then miners are called to mine
the ore and coal; other men con-
vert the coal into coke; with the

New York, March 5,--The wavering

deemed important and calculated to
