this statement, as to Otis convictions,
may strike the average mind in this
country, yet the offer itself may not
appear so remarka BILE as coming from
the insurgents. when it is considered
that the United States having pur-
chased the rebellion in the first place,
those involved might have supposed
that it might be disposed of on the
same monetary basis. But great and
surprising as has been the innovation
on the of. this government. of part
which the existing troubles in the far
east furnish the sequence, it is hardly
to be considered that the people of
this government would cOuntenance
the shaking off of the burden on the
strength of a cash proposition.

THE ARGUS.

IN THE NAME OF J. W. POTTER.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1899-04-13

German people have accepted Bsmarck's
story as the only true aud adequate ex-
preston of the Iron Chancellor and his
influence on European history. 1t is
interesting also to note its reception in
other countries. The rights in the United
States were secured by Harper & Brothers,
and the book throughout America is con-
sidered the most valuable contribution to
European history that has been made for
many a day. In England it has also had
a sale commensurate with its importance.
Another fact of especial interest about
this book is that although it was published
on November 10Th, it has already APP
peared in five different languages. France
did not express much appreciation over
the autobiography of Prince Bismarck.
1t contained too many references to Sedan,
to Gravelotte, and to the siege of Paris for
her tender senSibilites. Russian SEN
sibilities have proved still more tender,
and the Imperial Press Censor has re-
fused Russian book sellers permission to
place the work on sale. There are many
subjects which Bismarck treats with a
plain spokenness that is most painful to
the delicately organized ear of the Russian
for instance, Bismarck speaks Of the muir
der of Gar Paul. the Russians speak of it
always as 'Suuueu uelllSe. On the
oath of last month the work appeared in
an Italian translation, and, it is said, is
having very fair sale in Rome, Florence,
and Naples.
1t is indeed unfortunate that the Iron
Chancellor did not live to enjoy the sue
cess of his book. 1t is a sure sign that
throughout his msfortunes, throughout
the bitter years of his old age, his people
still believed in him. 1t is to Bismarck s
credit that his autobiography is neither
pettish nor pessimistic, and it is safe to
say that the best monument to his memory
will be half a million copies of his book
in as many German homes, and as many
more copies scattered throughout the
World. A man who has such a monument
need care but little what marble mauso-
leums are raised above his ashes, or in
what sarcophagus he sleeps. Our illus
tration shows the sarcophagus of Prince
Bismarck, which lately arrived at Fried
richsruh, and which has been placed in
the newly built mausoleum. 1t is made
of pink marble from the designs of Herr
Schurbach, of Hanover, and is in the
strictly Roman style. Its dimensions are
10 feet long, 5 broad, and 81 4 inches
high.

Bismarck's Best Monument.

With the single exception of Bsmarck's
Autobiography, the greatest success ever
achieved by any publication in Germany
was a pamphlet by Professor Quidde,
entitled ''Caligula." This pamphlet had,
however, from publishers point of view,
everything in it's favor. Its very title
savored of the sensational, and the German
reading public knew beforehand that
'Calgula'' was in reality comparison
of the insane Roman Emperor with the
present Kaiser.
Put on sale at the extremely low price
of ten cents, it took the pamphlet eighteen
months to sell 500, 900 copies.
To know how far, comparatively speak
ing, the sale of Bismarck exceeds that of
"Caligula," it is only necessary to know
that 31S, 900 copies Of the former had
been ordered before the book was pub
lished. The fact, too, that the price of
the Iron Chancellor's autobiography was
twenty marks, or nearly fifty times the
cost of "Caligula, - makes the comparison
all the more striking. When a German
parts with twenty marks he wants run
for his mouey, and also must know all
there is to know about book before he
buys it. t is self evident, then, that the

to British industry of the invasion of the

inevitable outcome of existing conditions
will be the development of an American
shipbuilding industry which will be able to
produce ships as cheaply as iron and steel
