The pamphlet gives very interesting facts aS
10 the effect of competition on the Continent
upon British manufactures, and especially
shows that some OF the most dangerous COM
petitors now are manufacturers who have re-
moved within a few years from England TO
Prussia, France, Belgium. Holland and other
points on the Continent. 1t urges that these
things. though ignored by the theorists, have
become painfully clear to the operatives, who
see that the prOStraion Of their industry Is due
TO a competition which British theories have
invited.
The very interesting part Of the pamphlet
gives details of the effect of the protective sys-
tenn since it has been in force in Germany. a
great increase has taken place in the number
of establishments and of worl<mcn employed.
and an increase also in wages paid to each
workman. In the iron industry the increase IN
number employed has been 10 per cent, and in
average wages paid II per cent In the cotton
industry operatives now earn 20 per cent more
than they did while the average profits OF the
manufacturers, formerly insignificant, now
reach 10 per cent. In the silk manufacture
the number of looms in operation increased
per cent in two years, and the wages OF labor
~ per cent In the woolcn cloth manufacture
fewer details are given, but the marked re-
covery of the industry from previous depression
is shown. In the linen manufacture 2uO,OOO
persons are employed in Germany. aud there
has been great increase in profits. III wages,
and in exports of linen goods while CORE
spending decrease in every item has been oiil-
cially reported IN Great Britain. In short, the
pamphlet says rs to Germany:
Wagcs have increased, hundreds of thousands Of the
unemployed have been given profitable work; old hla-t
furnaces which hat become moss grown under tree
trajo have been icghtod; new ones have been hilt'

The pampnlcl also makes much use Of the
boo, recently published by Mr.. Dodge, OF the
bureau of Agriculture, showing thc great benefit
of the protective policy to farmers IN this
country. II is statement which should be
