HERR NJ. BEHREND. the manager of
the great paper and pulp mills in Ger
many, owned by Prince Bismarck, was
for the past three weeks in this country
for the purpose of examining our i'm
proved methods of making paper. Be-
fore sailing for home he said: Your
wages here in paper mills are just four
times greater than what we pay in our
mills. The high rates of wages l can
readily understand gives your people
greater ability for consuming the goods
you produce, and l understand that the
average consumption of everything per
capita is very much greater in this coun-
try than it is in Germany or in Europe.
Your high wages stimulate inventive
genius, and with your inventions your
high priced laborer produces more and
better manufactured goods than the
poorly paid labor abroad, which is with
out these improvements. l am con-
vinced that in protection you have the
secret of continual prosperity.
