krgdem. To get the royA llle, me kleesor 4 reo-
erich Ill, afterward King Frederick l., wanted
the consent of the German Emperor. To get tho
consent, against which the Catholic conscience OF
he Emperor revoked, be bribed the Jesuit Welt
copfessOr of Leopold L. and threx into the bargain
5000 Brsndenburgers 70 be slaughtered 10 the
Au,tro. Spanish succession-war. The Hobenzollern
ELctor returned TO the old German institution OF
Efe-inoney only that the ancient Germans paid
with cattle and that he paid with men. Such was
the formation Of the Hohenzollem royalty BY the
grace of God.
With their improving fortunes, since the CON-
mel cement of the eighteenth ceatury, the Hoheu-
zollens improved their method of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
BY adding TO bribery and barter partition treahes
with Russia against States which they had not
feed them selves, but surprised when fallen. Thus
We find them cOncurrDg with Peter the Great 10
the partition of the Swedish possessions, with Cath
cline ii. in the PARTITION of Poland, and with
Alexander l. in the partition of Germany.
Those, ,hen, who object TO the Prus.iso claims to
N,ufcbatel tina. the Hobepzoerns got it by bribery,
have committed wofll mistake in forgetting taat
it was by bribery that they acquired Baudenburg,
that they acquired Prussia, that they acquired the
roy al dignity. There can exist no dOub; that they
posses Neufchatel by the same right divine as their
other States, and that they cannot resign the one
without exposing the others.
THE MARITIME COMMERCE OF AUSTRIA.
The maritime commerce of Austria may be said
to date from the incorporation into the Empire OF
Venice iis dependencies on the Adriatlc shores,
made over first by the peace of CampO-Formio. and
c,LiImed to Austria by the peace of LuHevue
Napoleon, then, is the true founder of thus oraach
of Austrian CO mmerce II is true that, on bee I'M
ing aware of the advantages thus bestowed ca
Austria he rescuded those cessions, first by the
treaty of Presburg, and again by the peace Of Vi
enns, in 1909. But Austria, having been once put
on the right track used Der opp )rtuniy to recover
by the treaty of 1915 her asceudancy over the
Adratic. Trieste is the center of this c mnerce,
ond the superiority Of that place over all the other
Austrian pOrts, even at an earlier period, may be
seen by the follosing table;

In 1889 the imports of Venice were 70 the I'M
ports Of Trieste as to 2.s4, and their exports re-
spectiyely as TO 3.s. In the same year the num-
Der of ships entering each harbOr were in the
proportion of to 4. Atpresent the preponderance
of Trieste has assumed such dimensions as 10

GUIDED. Blu. if Trieste has suppanted Venice in
the Adriatc, the fact is to be accounted for neither
by the special favor Of the Austrian Government,
nor By the unceasing exertlons Of the Austrian
Lloyd. An obscure creek on an iron.bouDd coast,
Inhabited OILY by few fishermen az the beginning
Of the eighteenth century, Trieste had grown into
commercial port numbering $4,000 souls BY the

ice in 1915 In 1895, the year before the establish
ment of the Austrian Lloyd, its population was
above 90 eco, and at a time when the Lloyd cannot
YET be supposed to have attained any considerable
influence, Trieste occupied the second rank after
England in the Turkish, and the fret rank IN the
Esy ptian trade, as will be seen frem the following
