THE IRON CHANCELLOR KNEW.

From a Speech by Prince Bismarck. The success of the United States in material development is the most illustrious of mouern time. The American nation has not only successfully borne and suppres-ed the most gigantic and expensive war of all history, but immediately afterward disbanded its army, found work for all its soldiers and marines, paid off most of its debt, give labor and. homes to all the unemployed of Europe as fast as they could a: rive within the territory, and still by a system of taxation so direct as not to be perceived much le-s felt. Because it is my deliberate judgment that the prosperity of America ismaihly due to its system of protective laws, I urge that Germany has not reached that point where it is necess.iry to imitate the tariff system of the United States. ;
