IS PROTECTION RoBBERY7

Bismarck's Conversion to Protection.
cone thing is clear, that, through
the widely open doors of its import
trade the German market has become
the mere storage-space for the over-pro-
duction of other countries. We must,
therefore, shut our gates and take care
that the German market, which is now
being monopolized by foreign wares,
shall be reserved for native industry.
Countries which are enclosed have be-
come great, and those which have re-
mained open have fallen behind. Were
the perils of protectionism really so
great as sometimes painted, France
would long ago have been ruined, in
stead of which she is more prosperous,
after paying the five millards, than Ger
many is today. And protectionist Rus
sia, too look at her marvellous pros
perity! The question before us is
not political, but financial one, and
we should put all personal sensibility
aside. Prince Bismarck, speech be-
fore the Reichstag, March 2, 1879.
