It i- perceived, since tho battles have beeu fought and made their slaughter, that the French war m Tunis ws< oau-cl by the French money sharks, who desirex! to extend their financial o|>emti<>ns. The **Credit Foucicr" of France, which t may answer to our “Credit Mobilier,” is 1 res]Mnsilde for the Tunis w«r. Govern ment* ought to be alsivo these aoullo-s I corporations and able to resist then •.Itiah aggression*. The industrious Italian went into Nortli Africa, and la gan to construct railroads. Tho Fiouch capitalists l*ecame poMesscd with tho idea that they Would s;»eculate m these •hadow representations of wealth. They Invested. Thcv Ixvame entangled in the not, and lienee the war. French capital appealed to French arm- for protection. France answered the sp|s-*l ufilnnatively and went to war. A more mercenary eani|uugn wus never waged, under tho banner* of u civiliz-ed nation. Heaven knows that wars, under what. ver auspices, are cruel, lxirl>*rous and brutal to tin. last degree. Thry repress | tho man and develop the brute They smother the g.s-1 ui humanity, and throw to tho surface the evils of tho race. Fer.x-ity takes the place of force, and savagely nsnqm the place of bravery i As General Hherman said, "In whatever ' light wo l.s.k at it, war is hell." Ono <>f ! the great works of civilization yet to lx* j aooompluihed, I* to disarm the world. To f;n to work to gratify ambition is a tcrnblo ain ; to take up arms to use in auger 1* weak, na well s* wicked ; but to go to war for plunder, for mercenary ! end*, is to Im* uiis)H*akably deprav<*l. Tho men who sent tho army i.gnuiat 1 Tunis were the money sharks of Paris. GoVA-rnment has the right to follow her •Uiten- and demand that they be pro tected, but have they not a right first to ascertain Uio character of tho cnpit.l under which they intend to go to war? Nations aliould not lie piling, d into war to gratify the ixx-ket* of meu who project I Panama canal*, Tehuantepec ship rail -1 way enterprises, nor for those who i six-culate in railway stock* in the north lof Africa. Tho itatesmaiisliip of the world will be larger and wiser when it refuses to Ire inflnaneesl unduly by these corporations, whose rights sh. -.ld lx* settled without involving the country iu war.
