Some Things You Want to Know
The German Advance-The Tariff Factor

pei the creation of a great wealth-prO-
ducing machine which would be as effective
in abolishing poverty as was the Prussian
army in destroying political enemies.
The spirit of the PIusslan army organ
ization, which was the spirit of Bismarck's
sits tecraft, was the extinction OF the In
dividual will in the general will. Bismarck
thought OF the German people as he
thought of the privates in the Prussian
army-as mere parts of machine. His
error was that he believed, that the hunger
and cold OF the people could be satisfied
merely with food and raiment. He dill not
know that men always will be hungry;
that when they are filled with bread ard
meat they become hungry for other things.
This was Bismarck's fatal error, and In It
is to be found the explanation for the dis
content among the prosperous German
masses of today.
In the half century intervening between
the downfall of Napoleon and the advent
of Bismarck, Great Britain had enjoyed
practically the sole use OF the steamship.
the railway and the great number of newly
invented mechanical devices for manufac-
turing. Germany had been torn with the
petty quarrels resulting from disunlon,
France was occupied with politics, never
knowing at sunset whether the dawn would
find IL kingdom, empire or republic. The
United States was held back by the great
struggle over slavery and the hatura! DIFF
ficulties OF pioneering. Great Britain had
discovered that the age of machines made
OF iron and brass and steel. driven by
steam. also was TO be the age of machines
made of flesh and bone, driven NV brains
The English machine set up on this model
was trade machine. 1t extended al over
the world and 1t brought TO it's controllers
a steadily flowing stream Of gold But It's
eI gineers, who were wise enough 10 car,
assiduously for their machines of iron and
steel and brass, did not deem IT neces.
sary to devote similar attention to theli
machines OF flesh and bone. That was the
british mistake.
I About the time that Bismarck began Il
set his economic machinery in motion the
Americans, recovered from civil war. begar
TO take advantage of the possibilities OF
this newly found force Of organization. But
they applied il only to money making and
not to money saving They instituted theii
machines in banking houses, and carefully
excluded them from the council chambers
Of state.

done. he did all that the Americans were
doing. ana then ne did much more. HI

in his dreaming, who was first to apply
to the problems OF practical governmental
administration the knowledge of the fact
that all mankind is divided into two poti-
cal parties-one hungry and naked and the
other filled and clothed.
Bismarck was Junker--a born aristo-
crat He believed that the princes OF
earth. with their aristocratic retainers,
should rule the people OF earth. He never
was democrat, and he never was able
to trust the people to do anything wisely,
even in their own behalf. He tolerated
some forms OF democratic government be-
cause he had TO do so. but he sought al
ways to control the masses by appealing
to their imagination, which they possessed
in abundance. rather than to their reason,
which Bismarck believed they did not have.
Bismarck probably did not believe in the
divine right OF kings. but he did believe that
It was better both for princes and people
to leave the control of the government TO
! the hands OF the princes Believing this,
he examined into the history of the past
and consulted the spirit of the age-the
| Zeitgeist-to discover how the rule OF
princes might best be guaranteed in per-
petuity
He found that princes always must fear
two things-the greed of other princes and
the hunger of the people. He and all his
fellow Germans were suffering under the
accumulated burdens Of a thousand years
OF war among their princes. The Zeltgeist
told him that the most splendid princely
throne in Europe had tottered and fallen
when the Paris mob cried in vain for
bread. He had seen his own people, when
he was a boy defy their rulers because
they had no food He had heard the I'm.
furiated cries OF the hungry workmen In
England when they overthrow the corr
laws and Inundated the British aristocrat
Other men of his time also saw and heard
these things but only Bismarck attempted
a rational remedy.
The Iron Chancellor, in complete contro
OF Prussian politics and the trustee o
the royal rights of the princeN line o.

dangers threatening the Prussian thror,
ana the German nation. He bound the rlva

dent and himself chairman OF the board
He took IN all the other German state
as subsidiary corporations and guarantee
TO their princes dividends sufficient,
large to lnhibit the possibility OF an anti
trust movement
And then. bolder than any man who ha,

do the thing which seemed in the mind of
the state to be most necessary for the
advancement of the military power of Ger
many, OF the political influence Of the
Hohenzollerns, of the economic welfare
of the state, and of the social betterment
of the German race,
For the political economic and social
organization he used as his principal inn
plement the tariff. He took into his hands
the control of this agency OF life and death
to trade, and so used 1t as to make the
zollverein represent TIE highest material
interests of every kind and condition of
men in Germany. He had no free trader
conscience and no tariff baron's rapacty.
He used intelligence in the study of the
tariff problem and skill in it's application
Forty years have passed, and now Germany
is the most successful industrial COM

natural resources and congested population
it's people suffer less from poverty than
do the people of any other nation. And
yet the Germans are filled with political
discomfort

Great as was the political genius OF Bis
marCk. he would not have been able to
unite Germany into compnct imperial
state had II not been for the triff. The
custdkns union or zollverein, formed be-
twes5tiS2S and 1896. made Prussia the cen
ter of commercial Germany by consent of
all the German states but Austria, long
before any of the non-Prussian states
would have tolerated a suggestion OF Prus-
sian political dominaey, The customs Par
lament or zollparllament. which met in
Berlin IN 1868 had for its immediate purpose
the revision OF the treaties constituting the
Zollverein. II was composed of two cham
bers, the upper one representing the sew
eraI states and the lower composed of
deputies chosen by universal suffrage of
the people.
II was the first national assembly in
Germany which recognized both the prin-
cipie OF state sovereignty and the doctrine
OF popular control of government and was
modelled frankly on the lines of the Ameri-
can congress In it was represented all
OF the states except Austria, and all of the
German people except the Austrians
II did revise the constitution of the Zoll-
vereln. but Il also did much more. IL
proved TO the south Germans that their
commercial interests were too much in
common with those of the north German
confederation to permit further political diff
ferences 1t furnished an object lesson in
the practical workings of national Par
lament The zollparliament resulted In the
imperial constitution OF the German empire
just as the Annapolis convention on In
terstate Commerce resulted In the consti-
\ tuition OF the United States of America.
1t was tariff reform that forged the chain
which Tor the first time bound up the ma
terial interests of all Germans outside of

suggest skeptical notions to those who have
never entertained them, and the answer
may not be as convincing to the nearer as
1t is to the preacher. The one safe course
is to hold fast to the presentation Of pos
tive truth.
1.-THE best safeguard against error is a
thorough grounding in the great truths
of the gospel The best protection against
malaria is thorough sanitation and pesti-
lential error is to be fought in the same
way. The building up of vigorous Chris
tan character and life by preaching the
great ndisputable doctrines of the word
of God is the best and surest presevative
from lapses into unbelief"
Bible aud Science.
Rev. Thomas Tatnall Williams Of San
Francisco who is visiting the east on his
summer vacation, in discussing the Bible
said that its statements are not inconsist-
ent with modern scientific research.
1--WE are living in an age Of investiga-
ton" said Rev. Mr. Williams. The ancient
truths handed down from generation 10
generation in the Bible have been vigor-
ousiy attacked during the present time.
All through the centuries the Bible has
been Acknowledged as the word OF God,
and now scientists and others have at
tackled 1t and arc trying to point out many
inaccuracies which they say are found in
the holy book.
Are we entitled longer to consider the
Bible the word of God? Are we to have
IL ia front of our churches? Are we longer
to instruct children from it?" he asked.
IF the Bible is a book OF fables, as some
historians would have 1t appear, then we
would have reasons to doubt its teachings,
but we have every reason for believing
that the Bible is true. Historians claim
they have found many historical inaccu-
racies in the Bible. Geologists assert that
the story OF the creation of the world. ac-
cording to the Bible, is a beautiful fairy
tale, and that they have many evidences
/ that the creation of the world was alto
gethsr different from the manner in which
! It is described in the holy hook Likewise
the Bible story Of the Creation OF man has
/ been attacked.
Nothing 10 Disturb Faith.
/ There is nothing in the two stories Of
! the creation of the world and the creation
of man" continued Rev. Mr.. Williams. ITO
unsette the faith OF anyone who Is dis
posed to believe In this book. The world
/ Is a product of the divine intelligence, Man
/ is a product of earth and sky. The Bible
is not TO be blamed for the religious wars
any more than the man who invents
labor saving machine for the misery and
poN erty produced among working people as
a result OF his invention. The scientists
OF today have accepted as one OF their
axioms that God Is immense in creation,
and / am convinced that the time il not
far distant when the differences and I'M
beliefs VIII be settled"

Mission Work I'm India.
Rev. j. II. Gardner, a missionary, whose
fields in India, In speaking Of the mis-
sion work among Hlndoos. said that the
people OF India are rapidly becoming Chris
tianized and that the Methodist church is
one OF the leading churches in the con-
version Of India, and at present has eight
conferences in that country.
Mr.. Gardner has been engaged in mis-
sionary work In India for the past twenty
six years being connected with the South
India conference. "A great deal OF oppo-
siton has been encountered by the mission
aries" said Mr.. Gardner and they have
been prosecuted greatly, especially by the
native police At one time. when was
preaching in the streets OF one of the cities
OF India, was stopped by the police and
told not to preach there any more. i'm
mediately reported the matter to the police
commissioner. from whom l received the
| reply that II | did not wish 10 be molested
would have to cease preaching, which l
| refused to do.
I'm India the task OF converting the
natives is very hare for those who become
converted are regarded outcasts by their
people and are forced to give up their
families friends and relatives. This diff
ficuty is overcome TO a great extent be-
cause of the caste system which exists In
that country. The great laborlng and agri-
cultural classes, comprising about 6O,OOO0OO
are regarded as outcasts by the other
classes. and II is among these that the
work of the missionaries is most easily
carried on.
