CANNOT CRUSH INDUSTRY. — o War Will not Cripple a Nation That Has Developed Its Manufacture*. An esteemed contemporary has made a strong presentment of its case but the case is envolved in doubt. Re viewing “the havoc of war and the battles' confusion” it holds that we cannot for many years be injured by European competition. The editorial is in style and in pathos one of the | best that we have read since the war began. Yet John Fiske had cause to speak of "the increasing toughness of civil ization.” Where is the evidence that war can crush the industry of a na Good All-Wool Clothing tion that has attained to skill in man ufactures, that has for centuries ac will soon be very hard cumulated capital, that has a long es tablished agricultural system, or that to obtain. has grown accustomed to the sea?

War consum Cashmere, es burns, wastes, spreads havoc every where, and for that reason it calls forth the power of repair and recon struction to a degree unknown in quiet times. Peace, however, shows the power of rebound and revival. What Southern city was thrown out of the race of commerce by yellow fever? The tires in Chicago and Baltimore arc merely chapters in municipal history—there , is no "finis” about them. An earth quake has shaken San Francisco, but | has no more killed her than Black Hawk's raid killed the Middle West. It is too early to say what European towns are non-competitors, and what are preparing for their greatest achievments. This much we know, that France has this year held her greatest industrial exhibition on rec ord, that Germany is floating her seventh loan, that Great Britian is sending more goods to us every week. In all the horror of war the philan thropists say that, while they see the widow and the orphan, while they look on the soldier’s grave'and watch the hospital tents, unemployed has al most ceased to exist. It may be well before predicting the collapse of great nations to consider the reviving power of the individual man. Everybody knows weak charac ters, who readily yield to adversity or break under temptation. But the mer chant who starts anew the morning after the fire, the farmer who is un shaken by drought or cloud burst, the man who leaves the hospital and finds a better position than he had before his injury, the resolute character who breaks the chains of intemperance, the boy who is sent to a reformatory and makes his town proud of him, are _ We to be counted in the reckoning, have such unconquerable spirits here, ed but fled from with regret. .
