BILE to secure the metal. One OF the
principal reasons advanced for this is
that those consumers who are working
on Government business have been re-
Gently placing contracts which will take

until thoughtful men are forced
to ask themselves, with what
government and Of what sort are
we about to deal in the making
of the covenants of peace? With
what authority will they meet
us and with what assurance that
their authority will abide and
sustain securely the internal ton
al arrangements into which we
are about to enter? There is
here matter for no Small anxiety
and misgiving. When peace is
made, upon whose promises and
engagements besides our own is
it to rest?
A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Let Us be perfectly frank with
ourselves and admit that these
questions cannot be satisfactorily
answered now or at once. But
