OF five cents. The many centuries cx-
pcrlcncc Of Europe and enormous
cheap stretches of land arc at the dis
posal Of the Americans in laying out
their parks and cities All these ad
vantages give the cities from the be
ginning capability for quick cxtcn
sion and suitability for all kinds of
industries hitherto undreamcd OF.
I Social intercourse with individuals and
OF the different strata Of the people
with one another is different and more
natural than in the old states Of
Europe where caste rules more or less.
Formerly the writer thought the
Americans rather unfriendly, but he
no longer thinks so. Their manners
and their ways are only different and
the stranger must accustom himself
to them before he in position to
give judgment. Apart from certain
evil habits like splitting, whistling,
etc., the manners Of the Americans
through their simplicity are more
favorable to the work Of the individua!
and the fourishing Of the people than
the German social arrangement under
which one approaches another only
with caution. From this unconstrain-
ed association only the Money Bags
holds himself aloof. In the case Of
the swclls (swclls are the millionaires) y
one crecps in and another falls out,
but the other classes have erected no
partition between themselves. The
president Of the United States is con
ciscly Mr.. Mckinley.
For the American, money making
is the principal thing. The American
carries on his business without rest
and with certain lack Of considcra-
tion for himself. He cats and drinks
in the greatest haste. His house,
even in the cities, is mostly very sim
pie, often q wooden house, and che
cities inowhich the industries are con-
centrated, like Chicago, St. Louis and
others, deserve to be characteri. ed as
nests of smoke.
For the workman in America Lhe
arrangement Of the daily wage is very
favorable. Wages arc higher tn. sny-
where else, and necesBariesuof lie are
comparatively cheaper, though houses
are dearer. While in Germany the
state is compelled to care for the aged
and the invalid, America teaches its
workmen the help yourself motto
and encourages them to save in time.
AS offsetting our cheap wages Of labor
the American uses many labor-saving
machines. The enormous wealth of
the land adds to the aforementioned
favorable conditions, which are aided
further by splendid governmental in
stitutions for the support Of industry
and agriculture. The Commercial
Museum in Philadelphia is an exam
pie which might serve as a model for
every country in the world. Consider
ing the manner IN which America
fights against the introduction of
foreign products, Germany would be
to-day entirely justified to tax the pro-
ducts Of the American trusts with
differential tariff.
1.-The United States seek to control
all America. They will eventually
win for themselves South and Central
American export markets. This
should serve as warning to Europe
to seek in time the same goal and to
form European 'zollverein.' In
America more capable race is at work
than the European. Europe need ex-
pect no consideration. Necessity will
compel Europe to take the steps later
which to-day are neglected. The
United States are working giant in
his youth. That is exemplified best
by the recklessness with which they
attacked the old gentleman, the Span
lard. and the joy which they have ex-
perienced over the easily secured VIC
tory. Germany must look about in
time for other avenues Of trade for her
industries as substitute for the de-
cline OF the market in North America.
and must seek to cultivate maket in
the country itself, for export to North
America, for Germany is ON the point Of
dying out. For the present the Ameri-
cans cannot do without Germany and
Germany cannot do without the Amer;-
cans. The arrangement Of commercial
treaties is matter ofmutual interest,
but as on the other side Q pan.Ameri-
can union is the aim, 80 IN Europe
would it be q 'zollverein.
