War Promoted Commerce.
From Commerce and Finance.

There are but few who understand that the science of political
economy is comparatively young. Adam Smiths classical work upon
the "Wealth of Nations was not published until l776, and prior to
that time commercial enterprise generally went hand in hand with
military aggression. Trade, or at least, international trade, was
predatory in It's character and the hope of finding peoples and coun-
tries that they might exploit and pllage was the chief inspiration of
the explorers OF the 18TH, 10th and 18th centuries. AS long as com
OF economic law was not essential in its attainment.
1t is, therefore, chronoiogicaly appropriate that the birth of eco
romic science a we. know it today should have been Contemporaries
can republic, which were the result of the first really successful
efforts that society had made to substitute the law of right for that
of might.
In the days of Adam Smith and for 80 years thereafter there was,
however,, but little International trade and practically none of the in
ternational community of financial interest that exists today. Great
Britain's imports and exports in 1850 were valued at an aggregate
of only 81, 100000.
In 1915 they were worth G, 4O3J555 O65, or 80 times the total Of
1850, while the population in the interval had only multiplied itself
by seven, having been 6.5l7.O35 in 1850 rs against 46, OS9, 249 in 1914.
La the year 1900 and previously, loan and deposit banking as it
exists today vas practically unknown Most transactions were set
tied by the payment Of gold or silver, and the supply of these metals
must have been altogether inadequate, for, according to Soetbeer, their
production during the 40 years ending with 1899 averaged less than
$40 100000 annually, as against a present average of about 500 900,
600 a year.
1t was not until labor saving machinery had made production
on a large scale possible, and steam provided a prompt and reliable
means of transportation, that the development of modern commerce
commenced, and it wa only when distance and time were annhi-
lated by cable and telegraph that prices throughout the world began
to huctuate in unison and the law of supply and demand became so

The Boy Who FizzIe..

From the Forest City (la.) Summit.
Times certainly have changed and thu
boys have changed with them. Twenty
years ago a boy was willing to spend Q
year. sometimes three, learning a trade
DO you see them doing that now? Not
much. A lad strikes you today for a Job.

week or a month for experience he'll
give you the laugh. He must have wages

nall the time he don't even do that. but

between his teeth. He can get S1.5O a

the use OF wasting time learning .

There isn't a business In Forest City

his work beyond waiting for the clock to

business; he has no ambition to own II

s.dmakers Ask More Pay.
From the London Times.

Mild sensation has been caused in Cam
bridge recently by the bedmakers from
the different colleges forming an organi-
zation to demand more money for their
labors. Men from the colleges attended
so,ne of their meetings and appeared
much interested in the proceedings. a.
they had little idea OF the remuneration
received by these useful and essential
persons. A bedmaker at Trinity stated
that before the war she received 50 a
week. her help" and in addition a con
siderable quantity of food. Since the war.
however. she has received hardly any
food and the wages paid his term are
only 81 for the bedmakers n 33.5 for
the "help.'' which. owing to higher prices
for everything, makes a decrease rather
than an increase.

But after the months have drifted by.

His dreams sweep back to the rolling drum
And q life on the open road again.
