that speaking the German Governments The decision
is not difficult for what DR.. Bowrng induce the
Parliament to reduce the duties and timber sup
ported by statistical facts, calculations and documentary cy

mens to abandon the protective system consists entirely of
superficial assertions.
Let consider in some detail the arguments whereby
Dr. Bowrng demonstrates the British Parliament tina, in
the German protective system should receive a
check in the way proposed by him. the German market for
mauuia curcs Will be irrcvocably lost to England.
The German people SAID by Dr. Bowring be di>iin

bcr only, the following instances of increase from 1892
1887: Cwt Cwi
On imports of cotton from. to 10000
On imports OF COTTON yarn. $4,000
On exports Of wooden goods. 10000 5000
On imports of Sleeps wool $4,000 $4,000

On exports of ditto $4,000 690sO
On the nuaber OF looms for weaving cotton
IN Prussia, from 1925 TO 1884 $4,000 $4,000
The linen manufacture has had t. contend against the high
duties England France and Italy, and therefore, has not
increased. On the contrary the Imports of linen warm
hbit of from 30 600 in 1882 $4,000 in
1881 Supplied chiefly from England and the demand is
staHtlv on the increase. The indigo consumed in 1873
amounted to 1900 cwt. and in 1897 ~ coo cwi..
striking proof of the progress OF German manufactures The
exports carthcnwarc had doubled from 1882
1896 the imports OF the white one-coorcd kind, had
fallen from 5000 1000 while the exports of
the kind had rscntro 900 $4,000 The
porcelain imports had diminished from 1000 l.0,O
cw while tie exports had risen from 700 Ia 1000
The produce Of the coal mines increased from 6O00000 OF
PrSsIan tons 1882 90U9 600 in 1856 In 1916 Prus

1881 Saxony had ll0OO sjochins-framc in 1886, 10000
From 1881 1887 the number OF factories for spinning
wooden and OF spnde> increased than wo-tod
Manufactures of machinery have up every where and
many of them in ioutishns In short it II adj
mtted that all branches of industry Germany have made
immense progress proportion they have been protected
particularly WOODEN and >u for the
importation OF which from England has entirely ceased.
However DR.. Bowrine referring opinion worthy Of
credit says lnareport which have been furnished with by
very intelligent practical manufacturer to the cempaa-
tive position of the British and the Prssan manufacture he
states after detailed examination OF WOODEN cloths i'm
ported that the price of the Psan cc1h decidedly

the spinning, weaving, and earcccesses OF the manufacture
are quite equal to the British; that in the finishing there
