German States may thus be set forth;
/. The prices OF the raw products OF the earth
have gone upward, to the benefit Of the farmers,
and that of TIE agricultural intere. OF the world at
large.
2. The prices of all manufactured goods have
gone misunderstanding the farmers Of Germany
to profit doubly: frat by obtaining more money for
their srain and second by obtaining more cloth for
their money.
3. TIE reduction of the cost Of conversion hiss
been SO great as TO enable the Germans largely to
supply the world with food and wool 10 the form OF
cloth.
4. The constantly improving condition OF the
German aboIers aud farmers enables them TO H.

5. Throughout Germany the power ofthe Trader
steadily declines, while direct commerce between
the people steadily grows.
&. The increase of the public revenues has been
steady, entirely uuinhuenced by toe great crisis OF
1902, and scarcely affected by the revolutionary
movements Of ISIS.
Z. Agriculture constantly improves in its quality,
wages for every description Of labor advance. and
Man and Woman throughout Germany become
more and more free.
In the United States, there have been, during the
Last forty three years. periods of Protection OF do
nestle Industry, extending through thirteen years
of time and periods Of subjugstion to the theories
and rule of tie Foreign Traders, embracing thirty
years of time What was the effect Of each upon
