German chambers of commerce ex-
ert a powerful influence on legislation
in the empire. During the long prep
aration OF the tariff bill which was re-
Gently passed by the reichstag, these
bodies made their influence felt in every
part Of the country. When "a German
manufacturer desires TO have his in
terests considered in tariff legislation
or commercial treaties, he does not
have %ecours to the member OF the
re!chstag from his district, but to his
chamber of commerce. The govern
ment, in its treatment of commercial
questions, always obtains the opinions
of merchants and manufacturers
through the medium, of the chambers
of commerce.
