atiop all the wealth Of her soil and all the wonderful
store of her mineral deposits She brought our depend

and consumers in contact and thus gave ACTIVITY 10 CIT
culation and produced an Improvement in the moral
and physical condition of the people which had never
before been accomplished in so brief period
But three years later u3 the tables were turned Inc
two countries were again found mutual opposition but
in another direction. Germany had provided for the
freedom Of internal commerce, by the adoption OF the
American system while America had taken up the pOcy
which had proved disastrous to Germany From that
time the one went steadily forward while the other pur
sued retrograde course which eliminated In rebellion
With this a change was made in the whole condition
OF our national existence. perfect circulation
was established throughout q gigantic battery
Of 100000 pairs Of plates and LIE ana acuNy
succeeded to paralysis The socletay move
ment became vigorous to an almost incredible
extent The demand for labor and all its productions
was in advance OF the supply enabling both farmer ana
planter stop the interest on capital that had long Deeh
perfed in the cudest forms OF agricultural production
The cause Of s NEW aspect OF national activity ls the
Morrill, Tariff of 1861. This policy was founded on the
ideas that exercise OF the cOOrdnang power was frst
among the due5 Of the government that the produce OF
the farm ought no longer to be compelled to remain
inert and losing interest while waiting demand in distant
markets; that the capital which daily took the form OF
labor power ought longer be allowed 70 go 10 waste
that the fuel which underlad the soil ought no longer to
remain TO be mere support for foreign rails that the
power which lay then petred in the form OF coal ought
everywhere TO be brought 10 aid the human ARM that
the vasts deposits Of iron should be made to take the
forms Of engines and other machinery TO be
used as substitutes for nero muscular force
and that oil their wonderful resources material
and moral, ought and must be at developed"
ITO that law aided ID by the admirable action OF
the Treasury in supplying machinery OF circulation does
the world stand indebted for the fact that the people
Of America in the short space OF five years. ana at cost
OF thousands of millions Of dollars were enabled to re-
trieve the downward steps Of more than 20 years

that by long practice the perncous doctrine OF dsSer
e had been brought near the verge OF ruin that Its
escape therefrom constitutes the most remarkable
event in the history of the world"
The application of his ideas the present condition Of
France and England forms important portion of Mr.
Careys essay. The position Of the latter country he re-
CARDS as unfortunate So long she controlled the sup
ply Of coal and iron and monopozed the use Of steam'
she remained almost the mistress Of the world But with
the progress OF intelligence the scepter is passing from
her hands France and Belgium rivaling her with
regard to engines in her own markets Germany

between the governing portion OF the British people and
that portion Of the American which engaged in
the effort TO establish Slave Republic has tended 10

portion Of tho capital OF an individual or nation
The conclusion which Mr. Carey presses with earnest
and effect that the system which looks to but one
workshop for the world" is at with the highest in
Of humanity and is fast Fastening its DOOM
The great powers Of the future must be Russia Germany

wise coordination OF the positive and negative elements
Of Society the close proximity Of the producer and the
consumer and the consequent rapidly OF circulation in
all branches Of industry. The system which makes an
idol trade and sanctions all the nmoraltics by which
traffic may be be promoted give place TO the action
Of true SECRETARY laws, which tend to make the
master OF Nature.
