It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
Still further: every ship-of-war that floats costs more than a well-endowed college.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
Again I repeat, so long as the War System prevails under the sanction of International Law, these painful incongruities will be apparent.
