dc.description.abstract | That there is no necessary connection between what are called
"Peace Principles" and Political Economy, has been pointed out
to us this session by Dr. Hancock. I have thought, however, that
the particular notice of the subject of Standing Armies might be
opportune. The present unhappy state of our foreign relations,
and the erroneous views put forward by some who profess a regard
for economic principles, have led me to attempt this notice.
Mr. Cobden has spoken of "standing armies as the standing
curse of the present generation." The curse, however, consists not
in them, but in that which renders them necessary. In this respect,
there is an analogy between the military and the medical
profession. Were it not for the pains and weaknesses of the body,
we should not need the aid of the one. Were it not for the violence
and evil passions of mankind, we should not require the protection
of the other. | en |
