WHAT UPHOLDS THE STATE? From "War or Brotherhood?" London. WHY should it be imagined that the subordination of the arts of War to those of Peace seals the doom of a State ? Because of the false idea which supposes every state to be naturally in a condition of hostility towards every other. This theory is on par with that which supposes each individual to be the enemy of all others; his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him. So far as this holds good of any society, so far, we now understand, that society is savage, and not civilized. And if such savagery still obtains in our international relations, we must not imagine it to be the normal condition, any more than a state of warfare between man and man. Now what is really the distinctive mark of civilized society ? Is it organization? In part. But there can be no organization without union for a common object; and this again pre-supposes the subordination of some for the good of all. In states imperfectly civilized, such as all are at present, the attempt to bring about this subordination leads to much injustice, and often to cruelty; and naturally, arrangements which are cruel and unjust cause discontent, and have to be maintained by force, if maintained at all. If we could look with an impartial eye on the social conditions of our own country, or of any of the other countries of Europe, we might find more cause for shame than for glory, in a system maintained by the strong hand, but full of inequalities which are equally injurious to the more and to the less favored. Volume LV. Number 14. But would it not be very different if the subordination of the individual to society were willing and complete? If what we call public spirit were universal, and if it were united with a strong sense of justice? Add to this a desire in the mind of each member of the community for the good of every other member, powerful enough to override selfish and unjust desires, and we begin to understand what a perfect society will be. Let us say rather, what it is; for surely the ideal has a real existence even now, if we count the purposes of God for realities. It is the weakness of States as they now are, that they depart so far from the heavenly ideal. But this at least has been gained, that we begin to understand the root principle of the true social organization, to see that each member of the community exists, not for his own private or individual good, but for the good of all. Let us thoroughly learn this principle, and then extend it, let us acknowledge it as the law of national, as well as individual life, and we shall have more than a glimpse of a larger and grander order, which, without obliterating national distinctions, shall embrace all mankind. The grandeur of this thought does but grow as we contemplate it, till the rival thought of an order founded on force looks contemptible in comparison, though not without a certain greatness of its own. But turning to life as we know it, we have to ask how far such an ideal is a living power in human society now. That material force is the mainstay of order, and that without it we shall fall back into anàrchy, is no doubt the popular impression. But let us ask what are the facts? What is it that, in the greater number of cases, secures obedience to the laws of a country? Is it the fear of incurring legal penalties? Or is it rather that, on the whole, public sentiment goes along with the law, and the public conscience acknowledges it, so that it is obeyed without need to consider the question of penalty? And is it not true that the attempt to secure obedience by coercion where such a public opinion in favor of the law does not exist, is to a large extent a failure? We may find answers to these questions by comparing the state of England, or any country where the bulk of the inhabitants are fairly prosperous and contented, with that of a conquered territory, or with that of certain portions of the community shut out from the general well-being. Or we may look back a few centuries, to a time when, under a far more severe penal code than our present one, it was found impossible to secure obedience to the laws; when robbery, for instance, seemed to flourish almost in proportion to the number of executions for that crime. It is we fear too true, that in part, the population of |
