MATTHEW'JIAKSHALL ON THE SUBJECT
'rltriAI. TELEGRAM TO TIDt DISPATCH, t
New York, Jan. 17. Under the caption
The Economic Effects of War," Matthew
Marshall writes as follows for to-morrow's
tun:
A new tonTc of consideration and discus
sion l.as been supplied to Wall street in the J-11 self-deione.
Chilean question. While politicians and.
plain citizens are busy only with asking
themselves whether Congress ought or ought
not to declaie var against the South Ameri
can Republic, and whether it will or will not
do it, financiers are more particularly con
cerned with forecasting the possible effects
upon business of hostilities, if they should
break out.
Experience on thW point is lacking to most
of those who now have to aeal with it. The
hurvn or of tbe generation which witnessed
the Mexican War of 1S46 are few in number,
and they have nearly al' retired from active
life, while our Civil War, which ended in
1563, furnishes no precedent by which to
judje of one with a foreign power. That
war gave birth to new and wide-reaching
financial meaure; it revolutionized many
great industries, and it stimulated inventive
jenuity to an extraordinary degree.
Investment in other ways, and the rate of
hire which other capital can command will
be Increased, the inorease coming ont of the
profits of the borrower. A nation cannot
eat its cake and have it, too, any more than
a schoolboy can. It cannot spend millions
of dollars in ships and cannons and powder
and provisions and ictain the wealth which
would flow from the employment of those
articles or the labor they cost in the pursuits
of peaceful industry.
All this, mv readers ill take notice. Is a
presentation of the purely economio aspect
of the subject, and is oy nonianner of means
a conclusive argument against r. Wo
have the highest authority for saying that
life is more than meat and the body than
raiment. Blclies are worthless except as
means to the promotion of human w elfare,
and human welfare sometimes demands war
as Imperatively as it usually requires peace.
Duel Sometime Necessary.
The good and pious Dr. Samuel Johnson
used to maintain that a man might, under
certain circumstances, lawfully accept,
though he might not send, a challenge to
light a duel, because, as the sage remarked,
he might have to fight to retain the esteem
of his fellow-men, and would therefore fight
in self-defone. So a nation mav, In the
present contingency, be foieed to wage war
upon Chile for the better pi oteotion of Its

ojbor nations need to be taught by forcible
means that they cannot with Impunity as
sault and kill American citizens, and thus,
Indirectly, the cot of tbe war may be proflt
ablv expended by n. This, however, is
leading me beyond my province, and being
only anumble contributor to a nowspapar
and not its editor, I will not, like Lord Dun
dreary's dog, attempt to direct the course of
the animal from my end of it.

GREAT DAY FOR NEWS.
THE WORLD'S EVENTS CITRONICLED
IN TESTEKDAVS DISPATCH.
In
the field of railroad building and operating
alone it produced thoso enormous fortunes
w hich are the admiration and envy of the
beginners of this day in the task of accumu
lating wealth, and, by abolishing negro
slavery, it brought upon the former slave
States a blessing instead of a curse, which
fi-om the commencement of the Federal
1'n'on they had dreaded and sought to
atert.
Free Labcr Beats the Slaves.
So far from annihilating the cotton crop,
Ji ee labor has swelled it from 5,000,000 bales a
year to nearly 9,000.000 bales, and in place of
confirming the dependenceof the South upon
tue North for food supplies and for manu
factured goods. It has set the South to es
tabli&bingmillsand manufactories of its own.
and to increasing its home production of corn
and bacon.
Nono of these things can be expected from
a war with Chile, and in estimating its prob
able effects they should be omitted. As a
rule, theoretical economists look upon wais
as agencies purely destructive of wealth like
fires, shiprecksartbqnakesand pestilence,
and if wo confine our attention rigidly to
their field of thought w o must acknowledge
they arc right. A -w ar takes men from pro
dnctiveoccupationsandmakes them all the
while thej are in service at least Idlers, and
frequently destrojers of the products of
otnermen'slnbor. The strength, skill and
ingenuity wnich In time of peace are devoted
to creating wealth are in time of war turned
in t-f oppoMte direction.
Political economj, being not politics in
tiie eno or statesmanship, as its name rals
lc idmgly suege-th, is the science purely and
simplvofgettinerlch. It has as little cop
i! etion with p.triotim, religion and moral
i as tbe differential calculus has, and
when experts In it declare that war Is un
Javoruble to a nation's welfare they refer
solely o its jjrow tn in riches and to nothing
tUe.
War Conflicts Tlitli Progress.
At the very outset war conies in conflict
with mere material pro-penty. It disturbs
and upsets the routine of business, and sub
stitutes uncertainty and dreu J for certainty
and confidence. It acts upon the habitual
course of trade as a misplaced switch or a
l:okcu tail does upon a tiain of cars. Iu
stcadofthe smooth, even, and nicely-ad-Juitjd
tr?ck along which it had hitherto
been gliding, it is forced into a path for
w Inch it is not fitted, and upon which it
come to a sop with a jar and a craih.
Aihen war break out every banker, mer
chant, manufacturer and head ofan organ
ized industry has to stop and consider what
e imiuoiiext. wi-ereas, ueiore, he ient on
from day to day in serene confidence that as
toil ij- i).e vesterdnv, to-morrow would
)e like l.j-cl,i-.,.infl he need Jjivo himself no
concern to provide for CA.traordinarv con
.tinonc.e Hence it results that thedeclaration of war
or even a confirmed conviction that it is lni-pc-iOing,
produces a rise in tho rate of in
terest for money, a fall in securities, and,
except in the ca-e of commodities for which
wai create- a special market, its mitenal
forit. production, a fall in the prices of
jporonandisc. Capitalists arc unwilling to
lend nwej cheaplr until they are sure tiiat
tliej aniint h waiting, geta'better rate for
it, and ir the same reason they cease bnv
I" -toeks and lioud, and are disponed
rattier t. a-U them. Jlerch..nts limit their
or-lers for goous until they cin makeup
their nmd wiat their customers are likely
"o nan and this in turn checks manufac
ture and importations. Business is like a
bic cle: hen it no longer moves forward it
btgins to topple over.
D.-prrnlng Influence on the Mind.
It is a curious feature, too. in human na
ture that any sudden untoward event, even
though it ha no direct relation to business,
Jias a depressing Influence npon the mind,
rnu. for a longer or a shorter period, indls-j.o-es
i to ci.tcrprise. feo unimportant a
dc?ttias that of the Duke of Clarence mo-luentarii-v
produced a slight fall upon the
J o'uion oc' h'-chango, and I well remem

Invoixmg. asit did, the losof anumberof
2eu loi s mot prominent citizens, cast a

A -a ar, therefore, lieine associated in our
i'.ouirlus ith carnage and destruction, with
vnnaili and inaitnis, and with the multi
Silication of widows and orphans, to say
nothing oran li.ueaso of national pecuniary
liuhlen-, is a disagiecable tning to all ex
cept tho-e w l.o immediately profit by It, and
-aus w ithin the citegorv ot calamities.
At first, ficrefore, if "war should be de-.tl.-uea
in this omiititagaii.st Chile it would
ime j. bid effect upon business. I know
lint main people entertain the conviction,
wu upon t.icir own memorvof the result-,

jvh.ch the hae received Iron: the recol
Jectu sis ot others, that this expected war

inert liandise of all kinds fell lower than had
uicn known for years.

Equally fallacious, it seems to me. Is the
iiuereuce that because war, or the appre
hensions of ar, in Europe creates a demand

ience by bad lumests there, so a war be
tween us and Chile will likewise stimulate
speculation in gram onupork. A man con-v

than he does as a simple citizen, and the
number of men who are going to be with
drawn from the production of food by a war
with a country like Chile w ill not be as it is
in the case ot a European war, sufficient to
decrease the supply generally. This con
sideration in favor of the economic benefit
of the apprehended, conflict is therefore of

B. & B
There's quite a difference between
STOREKEEPERS and store sellers.
Some stores keep goods so long (un
less they pay a good profit) that
"storekeeper" is the proper name.
We don't. And if you come to
day or this week you'll think we are

us, that the people will get the Bar

such a loss as will make the dress
goods business lively.

Cloak Room and Fur Departments

goods this week if prices will do it.
FIRST:
Our stock the year around is an immense one. It never has had a
a real competitor either in size or variety. In season and out it is
possible for a gentleman to find a fair match for any coat and vest
ever made, from the thousands of pairs which we have to show him.
SECOND:
Let others toot their horn all they will and fill the papers with
glittering offers, our prices never have been, are not, and never will
be beaten. Unapproachable values, added to an immense stock and
an infinite variety are a strong attraction. '
TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW
Will be a most opportune time in which to replenish this portion
of your wardrobe. In addition to our regular pants stock we've
several hundred pairs left over from our season's trade in suits
which we are offering at prices far below their actual value. Se
lection will be easy, satisfaction certain, economy sure.

You can come in and take your choice of any one-piece Alaska
