The difference between the Germans aud tho
Americans is more marked aud striking in tho
6oc'al and business habits than In their political
tystc,n. The Americana hoaat at being " faat =
people the Germans tako pride III being con-
.ddorcd "alow, ,"-slow aa distinguished from
rnnhness recklensness, or impu1sivenesu. In
everything they do there is
cEnrA1N METHoD1oAL DE11nEnAT1oS,
'snd oarefui calculation OF consequences aud re-
tmlts, greatly lacking in American character.
They rarely taho "loaps In tho dark or net On
!1rat thoughts or impulses; but wait for tho
eobor second thought, by sleeping over any prop
usltion, schomo. or business undertaking, in
TolVing risk OF chance, Tho hazardous Or
gambling spirit, 30 prevalent among Americans
aa to amount to n national characteristic, js
scarcely known at all in this unimpulsive,
Grcumepeos4 i1npassivo country. This is
str'kingly e1ompl1aed In mercantile life.
German merchants conduct their business will,
IN economy and caution Which would aurpriso
our dealers. In tho first place, they make It a
rule to purchase or koop on hund comparatively
anall stocks Of goods. Thcy buy largoly for
caah. and ask or recoiyo but littlo credit. II
capital Is small, tho stock Of goods bought is in
proportion to their means. They soil for cash.

srs or given by tralcemen. The people them
