Ever since cotton was an article of COM
nerce. Germany and The interior kingdoms
| Of Europe have received their supplies Of
cotton ard cotton yarn, for their extensive
manufacturers of cloth aud hosiery from
England. One great source of the wealth
land prosperity of Manchester and Leeds
has been the spinning of yarns for the Ger
man markets. One port alone, Hamburg,
has imported annually S20,OO0,OO0 worth

idle and starving, and her capital and ships
were seeking foreign employment.
The chief purpose Of the great CONNER
lcial League, which already represents a
population Of about 35,000,O0O, is to release
themselves from their dependence on Eng
land, and TO secuIe the vast sums they have
heretofore paid TO British labor and capital,

Their first measure to accomplish this OBJ
