Scholle. OF Berlin, at the New Willard.
last night Mr. Schone is a large manu-
racturer Of structural iron. and IS IN this
country on business.
I'm Germany the workman is mora
loked after by the government than any,
where else. He IS insured against sick
ness. against accident, against death.
against unemployment; In short, against
everything under the sun. Naturally he
pays for The insurance, but mis- employer
also pays part OF IT, The premium on
these various assurances is so small, ana
as they are withheld from his weekly
wage. he scarcely knows he Is paying
for the many protective measures. The
old people are insured and when they
are TOO aged 70 earn their own living.

ish provinces clamored for laws which
would protect them from accidents and
their consequences. the Emperor Insisted
that these miners themselves should get
together and frame laws and rules and
regulations for the conduct Of mines. He
requested them to embody IN their
draft everything which IN their opin-
ion would be 10 their benefit This they
did, and II IS this miners draft which
is the law to-day governing the conduct
OF mines.
1T Is readily 10 be seen" added Mr..
Scholle, where the need for a socialists
party under these circumstances will
become absolutely useless. The govern
ment under the wise guidance OF the
Emperor is doing more for the working
class than the socialistic party ever ac-
complished. There Is no more popular
In al Christendom than En-
