War and Ruin.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

NrOiH tue iulI1delpnld LeUSer.
Wars are finally won in national treas
uries. Already European investors have
lost millions. They are Offering securi-
ties at pre- Waterloo prices. Russia must
be sure Of sincere English support before
she can move. There is q magnificent
German fleet in the Baltic. But public
sentiment in England is against war.
There is no enthusiasm for it. So, too. In
France, the substantial middle classes
are drowning with condemnation the
roisterers' cries for war. -Four decades
of unprecedented prosperity and achieve
ment in peace counsel Germany against
throwing down the battle gage. Every
argument is for peace. Passion, preju-
dice, hate. are the only inducements for
war. Even selfishness upholds peace as
desirable. No nation can foretell what
would come to it out Of the rack and ruin
of battle, except to know that throwing
millions of men into conflict must. stop
the wheels of industry, close the facto-
ries, destroy foreign markets, shackle ma
tional commerce, invite the menace of
comparative poverty for a term OF years.
Yet no nations understand better than
Germany and England that the era OF
battle triumphs has been succeeded by
period in which the glory and prosperity
of nationalities will be determined by
their commercial conquests. The sound
ing Of the tocsin would be rninous to
both.
