These two necessities of a growing civilization seemed to exclude each other.

How satisfy the one without failing the other?
Who could solve the two problems at the same time?
Who did solve them?
The tribune! The tribune is peace, and the tribune is conquest.
Conquest by the sword,--who wants it?
Nobody.

The peoples are fatherlands.

Conquest by ideas,--who wants it?
Everybody.

The peoples are mankind.
