What I desire to do is known to the Searcher of all Hearts. It is a rash thing to say, as is sometimes said even by the clergy, that the spirit of commerce is destined to supersede that of war. For commerce is itself not so very remote from war, much of it being warfare almost undisguised. On a given occasion it may take a higher tone than war; at other times a lower.
