Excerpt from The Dawn of a New Era in Finance

IF the question were to be asked: What has been the greatest affliction to the human race P Probably most people would answer war. The prevalence of this Opin ion is undoubtedly due to the fact, that wars are preceded by angry debates m the senate and elsewhere, and finally ushered in with the noisy ring of artillery and the loud shouts of advancing armies. But the ravages of war are usually confined to one or two countries and often times to small parts of countries. Then too, it is frequently, if in deed it is not generally the case that people not residing in the immediate vicinity of the contending armies remain prosperous during the whole conflict. As, for example, our own country during the late rebellion, and England in her fierce war with Napoleon.
