THE CRISIS IN CERM.Nv

The people in this country are pretty
generally aware that Germany is rapid
ly approaching an industrial crisis
which must end in general collapse
such as the United States suffered ten
years ago, and had experienced every
twenty years since the present system of
development obtained. Germany for the
last twenty years has been making Won
derful progress in the industrial lines
under the stimulus Of the Bismarckian
protective policy. The country has been
depopulated to swell the crowd of ar
tisans in the cities and towns, which
have sprung up and waxed populous If
not wealthy under this artificial impulse.
In other words Germany has been hav-
ing boom-a boom as wild as any that
have swept over the plains of the West
or through the oil regions of the older
states. This boom, reared on a false
basis and sustained by system of in
ternal taxation, is about to collapse The
point has been reached by Germany that
was reached by the United States in
1890, when every warehouse was full of
goods, every merchant stocked to his
utmost limit and no one to buy. The
crash then was inevitable-the crash in
Germany is just as certain. 1t may not
come this year or next, but the penalty
for every such industrial boom must be
paid sooner or later.
This wonderful German boom began
about fifteen years ago; slowly at first,
then gathering strength It overcan1e the
conservatism of the time and the peo-
pie and in many cases out-did the best
American boom records.
One does not think of q staid old Ger
man city on boom like that of Chicago
or Kansas City or the coast towns, yet
Berlin gained 10000 during the last five
years.
The census OF 1906 shows that Nurem-
burg gained S2 per cent in the last ten
years and Stettin 50 per cent during the
same time. Frankfort-cn-the-Ma Main gain
ed 60 per cent.

the government is not inclined to favor
such schemes with public funds. The
interest OF the government would be
commercial and We can think of no better
plan to acquaint the trading world with
the products CT this mammoth republic.
To create trade there must be demand,
to create a demand there must be a
knowledge Of the articles Of trade. A
| fleet loaded with the products of
the United States visiting the
various countries where it is desired to
plant American trade would do more to
build up an American commerce than
millions spent in subsidizing ships
With this itinerant exposition acting as
sort of national trade drummer exploit
ing the nations wares, business would
follow as natural consequence.
The expense Of such an exposition could
be shared Jointly by the government and
the exhibitors. The vessels could be fur
nished and manned by the navy depart
ment without additional cost to the gov
ernment while the other expense or a
part thereof should be borne by those ex-
hibiting their wares.
This suggestion from the United States
statistical department is in direct line
with the position heretofore taken by
the Clio b e regarding the opening up
of new markets by offering a definite
subsidy for the maintenance of designat-
ed steamship lines
In this scramble for foreign trade it is

been occupied it is time to talk of COM

Speculation Was Affected by Many
Opposing Influences.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Diverse influences were apparent in the
action of speculation this week. In spite
of the strong tone which was manifested
early in the week, there were also indi-
cations of a disposition to take profits In
the railroad share list, based on the be-
lief that the immediate developments i'll
connection with the important comblna-
tionS of properties had exhausted their
effect. There was a slackening of the
tendency to buy railroad shares, and the
concessions in prices apparently encour-
which they did on Wednesday with some
temporary success On the other hand.
the idea that the arrangements for the
purchases of the majority interest in the
Carnegie Steel company and its probable
sequel in the form of a new and larger
combination of steel interests than has
yet been seen, were progressing favor
ably, held up the principal industrial
stocks and Kept the street waiting for
some announcement in the case. On
Thursday, when prices in the railroad de-
partment seemed liable to settle down
still further the market as a whole was
again stimulated by reports that the
news of q Encouragement in the steel in
dqStry might be brought out at any mo-
ment 1t was further agreed that the
large financial interests which are en-
gineering the steel deal would be likely
to prevent any serious break in prices
pending the cOnsummation of their plans
and this idea seemed TO find support in
the strength of the coal stocks and other
securities with which these interests are
identified.
There were no other factors of general

ossIP GABRILowTTsCH

Oss1p Gabrilowitsch, the Russian pian-
lst' played before a large and unusually
demonSrative audience at the Central
Presbyterian church last evening. Xr,,
GabrlloW1tsch is much more conventional
In appearance than his name would sug-
gest. His bow is unassuming. His hair
is thick, but it is not dressed in halo
1ashlon. His manner suggests modest
confidence. However, If this young pi-
anlst who has not yet lived a quarter
or a century, bears none of the hall
marks Of genius, there are bits now
and then in his playing which convince
one that when maturity has sufficiently
broadened his art, the title of genius will
not be withheld. His technique is bril-
liant. He obtains a beautiful tone from
his instrument. There is nothing coldIy
correct about his interpretations. Very
often he Is delightfully."- daring. Always
rare and poetic fancy colors wildly his
playing. The greatest heights, it is ap-
parent, Gabrilowitsch has not yet attain
ed. This was made manifest in tho
Beethoven sonanta (Op 81, No. 3D. But
one does not reach great heights in art
Of any sort at twenty-five and the fact
that the sonata was not the least inter-
esting number on the programme proves
that for the young pianist those heights
are almost in sight. Schumann's gay
and sad, thoughtless and tender Fas-
chingsschwank aus Wien (Op. 26) afford
ed opportunity for display of fine senti-
ment, that was never sentimentality. The
romance and the scherzo were played
with the wild abandon and the bizarre
touch characteristic only of the Russian
and the Pole. Perhaps the Chopin group
last evening aroused the most enthus-
iasm. That gay, mad waltz in c sharp
minor (Op. GA, No. p was played with
wicked realism and the audience de-
manded it again. The nocturne in B ma
jor (Op 8, No. 81 was beautifully inter-
preted; the poIonaise in A fiat received
a polished and brilliant reading. Gabrit4
cwitsch played his own Petite Seren-
ade" was forced to repeat it. 1t is a
dainty and very pleasing composition.

The Pennsylvania legislature, says the
Toledo News, is about to move a reSo-
luton asking congress to submit an
amendment to the constitution to elect
senators by popular vote. Investigation
by a committee from this legislature
shows that there is little doubt but that
two-thirds of the states are in favor
of such a movement. If twenty-nine
states join Pennsylvania in this request
congress is compelled by law to call a
convention to propose such an amend
ment This amendment will then have
to be ratified by thirty-four states, or
three-fourths of all, to make it part
of our organic law.

law. Commenting on which, the Phila-

Ricans have not explained how they ex-
pect to maintain a government without
paying taxes but it is a pity their readi-
ness to protest against oppressive or
unnecessary taxation is not contagious,
and that our own people have not been
exposed to the infection. We pay federal
war taxes in time of peace. state taxes
for fat contract jobs and unnecessary
officials and municipal taxes to be squan-

pose. And we don't kick or protest at
all. The Porto Ricans, with a few short
months of experience In governing them
selves, have shown a greater fitness for
