ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21 1870
Free Banking and Specie Payments
Ono of the features of the currency bill pass
ed at tho last session of Congress was the
authorization of free banking upon a coin basis
the conditions being that banks organized un-
der the provision shall secure their `otes by a
deposit of gold-bearing bonds of the United
States in the Treasury Department, and keep
on hand a coln.reserve equal to twenty-five
per cent, of their circulation to enable them to
redeem their notes upon dematid. Of course
it was not expected that the currency thus
Issued would gain any considerable circulation,
the main purpose of its authorization being to
subserve the convenience of importers in our
seaboard cities. The Comptroller of the Cur
rency recently issued a circula to induCe
the establishment of such banks, and the
prompt response made to it shows that the
provision in question meets a real. public want
and is duly appreciated by the business com
munity. The New York Shipping List of the
10th instant says : "There are to be two, if
not three, or these banks established in this
city, two in Boston,and one In each Baltimore
and Philadelphia. There is a growing ten•
dency here in New York to do business in
those wholesale departments connected with
our fori•ign commerce upon a coin basis, in
prder to escape the extra hazards incident to
settlements inn constantly fluctuating curren
cy. As a consequence many of our existing
banks do•quite a large percentage of their busi
ness in coin—a fact which would seem to In
sure the success of Institutions doing business
exclusively upon a gold basis. The recent dc•
cision of the Treasury Department, not to re
ceive the notes of gold banks in payment of
duties, will not, as has been supposed in sonic
quarters, form an obstacle to the success of
such banks, since they are all obliged to re
deem their notes et the sub-treasury in this
city in gold, and notes that command gold in
this city will do it also in Baltimore, Boston,
anti Philadelphia; so that those wishing to
use them to pay duties can always readily
lunge the notes into gold. This increasing
isposition to do business upon a coin basis is
be regarded as a healthy indication. It in.
dicates a desire for the return of a sound cur
rency, if it be not a means to that end."
In addition to the banks mentioned above
there will undoubtedly be others in all our
cities having any considerable foreign com
merce, especially those of the South told the
Pacific coast. .In these sections there is quite
a good prospect of gold notes entering largely
into circulation, and their introduction will
thus be a considerable step toward the resto
ration of specie payments. The thing next
required is to takwmensures to assimilate our
existing national bank and greenback curren
cy to these new notes, and thus make the cir
culnting medium of the country practically
homogeneous, or, at least equal, as regards
value and security. To do this It is only
necessary to require our present national
banks gradually to substitute coin for their
present greenback reserves until they, like the
gold banks recently authorized, shall have a
a coin reserve equal to twenty-five per cent.
of their circulation. This would rapidly ap
preciate the value of the currency of the Nll
tionnl banks, and long before they had accum
ulated the required twenty-five per cent. in
coin their notes would be very nearly as good
as those of the gold banks—so nearly that the
two would in all probability he 'practically
nferged together as one currency.
In the meantime the greenbacks would, of
course, have to be taken cure of and made to
share in the apps relation of the national bank
notes. 'rids could be secured by withdraw
ing a portion of them from circulation when
ever they should fall below the bank notes in
value, raid the place of those withdrawn would
be supplied in an easy and natural way by the
gradual extension of the area over which the
gold poles would circulate, so that there
would be no contraction. Ott the contrary,
there would be an elasticity in the currency
by which its volume would be adapted with
precision to the requirements of trade.—Press.
"WHAT RATH GOD WROUGHT ?"
The United States and Germany stand to
py, a strange fortune, the leaders, the
foremost and the strongest nations of the
world. The vanguard of civilization has been
remitted by Providence to new bands.
The story of the last ten years, in which
this momentous change lots been brought
about, is surely one of the strangest and most
wonderful in the world's history. Ten years
ago Germany was divided in its councils,
weakened by bitter jealousies and rivalries,
and apparently ready to fall a prey to Napo-
Iron's great and threatening armiunents. The
American Union was also torn by internal
dissensions, and already its enemies in Europe
Were preparing to hasten its downfall, and,
by the Mexican expedition, in which England,
France and Spain united, to take advantage
19MiEEI
Ten years ago, liberty scented to have few
friends ; popular government was declared to
he a failure ; Napoleon 111., now seen to lie
the great blunderer of the age, was then Com•
pleting his Life of Julius Oen!, and writing
that panegyric of imperialism, in which he
warned the nations that " {Olen a great man
appears it is the duty of the peOple to obey
him ;" the London Times, laiitiling what it
believed to be a reaction against liberty, began
even to justify negro slavery, and to suggest
how best the American Union might lie cut
up into half a dozen indepehdent nations. In
Germany, Austria, then the most reactionary
and illiberal of the German governments, was
E=
he leading power; in Prussia liberty was
bought, even by the liberals themselves, to be
tear its end ; and the hopes of patriotic Ger
sans for a Union of their Fatherland seemed
is far l'roin realization as they were half a dim-
tury ago. A student inquiring into what states
were committed the guardianship and devel
opment of civilized society, would have pointed
to England and France ; France, despotically
ruled and corrupted by Napoleon, and England
worshipping success, and living in au unnat
ural and shameful friendship with the French
Cresar.
Today we have done with all that ; 'and
two new nations have emerged from two
bloody wars, the confessed. and we believe
the worthy leaders of Christendom. The
world has taken a step forward ; and in this
new leadership'what we call civilization has,
let us hope, assumed a new and more beneli•
cent chamfer. For it is a notable fact that
both the war of the rebellion and this French
war were fought by the victors as wars of de
fence; wars into which the German people
this year, as ours in 18131, were driven reluc
tantly, sadly, and only in defence of whai an
impartial world . confessed to be their rights.
To-day, the pertinacity, discipline, and endur
ance of these nations has placed them thr above
.future attack. They have only to be true to
themselves, true to the intelligent liberty
which has made them the strongest, true to
their new mission, as the leathers, the guides,
the formers of civilization, to live henceforth
without fear of others; and to declare with
• the moral force of their position, peace on earth
and good will to men, •
If we consider the character of .the Ameri
can and of the German , people, we have Tea•
son to hope much for the world from their
predominance. Both, in the first place, are
pre-eminently peaceful ; they do not love war;
they will not use their strength as a menace
to other nations. Both are moral, Industrious
and ingenious; they have net beep corrupted
by the vices which the French Empire fostered
and spread abroad. They love liberty, they
revere law, and comprehend constitutional
government. The German people, united by
this war, and feeling as they do their new
responsibilities to the world, will not fall to
work out DM problem, which still remains to
them, of consolidating their liberties with the
constitutional forms. Every German knows,
what Dr. Lieber wrote in 1831, that given
union, and liberty will soon follow ; this
thought informs every patriotic utterance of
Germany ; and to the German, as to the
American,
." liberty" means freedom, not to a
single people, but to all the world, as FreilL
grath wrote in 1848:
"Vine writer wird, dna barren wlr,
Dneb Mill's die Frelbelt warden;
Die Freihelt don, die Freilicit bier,
Die Frethelt jetzt mid fur and fur,
Alluberall nuf Erden."
"What further comes, we may abide,
But 'twill be Freedom's birth ;
FreOom at once, on every side,
Freedom extending far and wide,
Freedom o'er all the Earth."
America and Germany are now the leaders
of Christian civilization: may their people
feel the vast responsibilities which Providence
has put upon them ; may they feel that to
them Is committed the advancement of liberty,
the preservation of Virtue and morals, and the
increase of intelligence ; to them belongs
what other, nations have not been wortny to
keep—the charges of the world's peace, and
the improvement of mankind by the virtues
end the arts which havp grown out of and
represent Christianity.
For ourselves, Americans, we may 'rejoice
that to the German nation has fallen this great
victory. Germany has sent us for many years
thousands of her sons and daughters, who
sought here the liberty which they were denied
there, and who have manifested here those
virtues which prove them worthy of liberty.
The American people do not forget that during
our War Germany was our most steadfast
friend ; to Germany we are bound by ties of
friendship and sympathy, and Americans, at
least, will not give up their faith that German
Union means German Liberty. —N. F. Eeca•

Valuable Hints to Steam Boilers
Tenders.
The Report of the Hartford Steam Boiler
Inspection and Insurance Company, for the
month of May, has lately appeared in print,
and shows a curious stilts of things existing
in the steam generating world. The last
item of intelligence which it conveys would
be ludicrous, did it not involve danger to
human life :
During the mouth, 495 visits of inspection
have been made, and 861 boilers examined
-792 externally, 251 Internally, and 135 have
been tested by hydraulic pressure. The num
ber of defects in all discovered 427, of which
50 were regarded as dangerous. These de
fects in detail were as follows: Furnaces
out o f shape. 27-3 dangerous. Fractures in
all, 77-11 dangerous. Burned plates 42-6
dangerous. These .defects not unfrequently
arise from mismanagement in blowing down
(or out). bolters. .Our attention has been
called to several cases where, boilers were
leaking badly in the joints about the furnace
and nronnd the ends of the tubes. On in
quiry It was found that the boilers were blown
down with steam up, fires burning, and the
furnace and bridge wall nearly red' lint. It
will be seen at once that such practice cannot
but injure 'a ; for as the water is blown
out the sheCts become very hot, and any sett,-
intent that remains in the boiler Will become
hard and fixed on the sheets. Many boilers
arc ruined in this way. First draw the fires,
and then open furnace doors and allow u cur.
rent of air to pass through the flues or tubes
of the boiler. Blow oaf u•lth little or 110 pres•'
sure of steam. Parties who are troubled with
leaky boilers, and loose tubes, will doubtless
fild on examination that the boilers are blown
with steam up, and fires on the grates. Blis
tered Plates, 39-2 dangerous. Cases of In
crustation and Scale, 78-4 dangerous. Cases
of External Corrosion. 28-5 dangerous. In
ternal Corrosion, 6-2 dangerous. Water
Guages out of order, 24-4 dangerous. Bldw.
out Apparatus out of order, 9-2 dangerous.
Safety Valves over-loaded, 45-6 dangerous.
Pressure Gauges out of order, 80-6 danger
ous. Boilers without Gauges, 1., Broken
Braces and insuflicient Staying, 9-3 danger
ous, Boilers condemned, 3. We are not a
little surprised at the gross carelessness found
In the management of safety valves., They
were often put in most accessible places, as
though they were of little or no account ;
they become corroded in their seats, and 6t . no
practical value whatever. We recently found
one on a steam pipe directly underneath a
second story floor. The floor had settled need
was resting upon the level' in such a manner
that no pressure .of steam whit:lA.6w boiler
was capable . ot' sustaining could have raised
the valve. This is the only one of many sim
ilar instanee4 which have come under our no
tice. Engineers; should, for their own credit
and the safety of those who are employed in
manufactories, examine frequently and care
fully tell the, attachments to their boilers, and
especially the safety valve.
GERMAN papers are indignant at the mean
ness of Minister Von do lleydt, the former
Prussian Minister of Finance, a man who has
acquired Millions in the service of the State.
He subscribed only ono hundred dollars for
the German War Fend. On the other hand,
at Hamburg, a proposition was made to con
tribute hall a million of marks to the Sanitary
Fund. (A. mark is worth about thirty cents:)
" Gentlemen," remarked the rich merchant
Schroeder, the Peabody of Hamburg, "make
It a million for I intend to contribute half a
million myself."
DEAF SHIM, THE CELEBRATED
TEXAN SPY.
About two years alter the Texan revolution,
a difficulty occurred between the new govern
ment and a portion of the people, which threat
ened the most serious consequence—even the
blood-shed and horrors of a civil war. Briefly,
the cause Has thus : The constitution had fixed
the city of Austin as the permanent capital,
where the public archives were to be kept,
with a reservation, however, of a power in the
President to order their temporary removal in
case of danger from the inroad of a foreign
enemy, or a force of a sudden insurrection.
Conceiving that the exception emergency
had arrived, as the Comanches frequently
committed outrages within sight of of the cap
itol itself, Houston, who then resided at Wash
ington, on the Brazos, dispatched an order
commanding his subordinate functionaries to
send the State Records to the latter place
which he declared to be, pro tempore, the sent
of government.
It is Impossible to describe the stormy ex
citement which the promulgation of this fiat
raised in Austin.,. The keepers of hotels,
boarding houses, groceries, and faro banks,
were thunderstruck, maddened to frenzy ; for
the measure would be a death-blow to their
prosperity in business, and accordingly they
determined at once to take the necessary steps
to avert the danger, by opposing the execution
of Houston's mandate. They called a meet
ing of the citizens and farmers cf the circum-
jacent country, who were all more or less 'in
terested in the question ; and atter many fiery
speeches against the asserted tyranny of the
administration, it was 'unanimously resolved
to prevent the removal of the archives by open
and armed resistance. To that end they or
ganized a company of four hundred armed
men, one party of whom, relieving the other
at regular periods of duty, should keep con-
slant guard around the State House until the
period passed by. The commander of this
force was one Col. Morton, who had achieved
considerable renown in the war for indepen
dence, and had still more recently displayed
desperate bravery in two desperate duels, in
both of which he had cut his antagonist nearly
to pieces with the bowie-knife. Indeed, from
the notoriety of character for revenge or
courage, it was thought that President Hous-
ton would renounce his purpose touching the
archives as soon as lie should learn who was
the leader of the opposition.
Morton, on his part, whose vanity fully
equalled his personal prowess, encouraged
and justified the prevailing opinion by his
boastful threats. He swore that if the Presi•
dent did succeed in removing the records by
the march of an overpowering force, he would
then himself hunt him down like a wolf ano
shoot him with little ceremony, or stab him in
his hed, or waylay him in his walks for mere.
ation. He even wrote to the hero of San Ja
cinto that effect. The latter replied in a note
of laconic brevity :—" If the people of Austin
do not send the archives, I shall certainly
come and take them ; and if Col. Morton can
kill me, he is welcome to my ear-cap."
On the reception of this answer L the guard
was doubled around the State House. Chosen
sentinels were stationed along the road lead
ing to the capitol, the military paraded the
streets from morning Sill night, and select
caucuses held permanent session, in the city
hall. In short, everything betokened a cool
ing tempest.
One day, while matters were in this preca
rious condition, the caucus at the city hall was
surprised by the sudden appearance of a
stranger, whose mode of entering was as ex•
traordinary as his looks and dress. Ile did
not knock at the closed door—he did not seek
admission at ull ; but climbing unseen a small
bushy-topped live oak, which grew beside the
wall, leaped without sound or warning
through a lofty window. lie was clothed al
together in buckskin, carried a long and very
heavy rifle in his hand, wore at the bottom or
his left suspender a litrge bowie knife, and had
in his belt a couple of pistols half the length of
his gun. lie was tall, straight as an arrow,
active as a panther in his motions, with dark
ened complexion and luxuriant jetty hair, with
a severe, iron-like countenance, that seemed
never to have known a smile, and eyes of In
tense vivid black, wild and rolling, and pierc
ing as the point of a dagger ills strange ad
vent inspired a thrill or involuntary fear, and
many present unconsciously grasped the
handles of their sidearms.
" Who are you that thus presumes to in
trude among gentlemen, without invitation?"
demanded Col. Morton, ferociously essaying
to cow down the strarger with Ids rye.
The latter returned his stare with compound
interest, and laid his long bony finger on his
lip, its a sign—but of what, the spectators
could not imagine.
" Who are you ? Speak I or I will cut an
answer out of your heart I'' shouted Morton,
almost distracted with rage by the cool, sneer
ing gaze of the other, who now removed his
finger frau his lip, and laid it on the hilt of
his monstrous knife.
The fiery colonel then drew his dagger am
was In the act ofadvaucing upon the stranger
when several caught him and held him back
remonstrating.
"Let hint alone, Morton, for God's sake
Do you not perceive that he Is crazy ?"
At that. moment Judge Webb, a man of
hrew•d intellect and courteous manners, step
wt forward nod addressed the Intruder in a
nost respectful manner—
"My good friendj presume you have made
a mistake in the house, This is n private
eeting, where none but members nre ad
mitted."
. 1 The stranger did not appear to comprehend
the words, but he could not fail to understand
the mild and deprecatory manner. Ills rigid
features relaxed, and moving to a table in the
centre of the hall, where there were materials
and implements of writing, he seized a,pen
and traced a : "I am deaf." lie then
held it up before the spectators, as a sort of
natural apology for his own want offmliteness.
Judge Webb took the paper and wrote a
question : " Dear sir, will you be so obliging
as to inform us what is your busines with the
present meeting 1"
The other responded by delivering a letter
inscribed on the buck, "To the citizens of
Austin." They broke the seal and read d
aloud. It was from Houston, and showed the
usual terse brevi'y of his style :
" " Fellow cilitenv-r-Through an error, and
deceived by the arts of traitors. I will give
you three more days to decide whether you
will surrender the public archives, At the
end of that time you will please let me know
your decision. SAM HOUSTON
After the reading, the deaf man waited a
few seconds, as if for reply, and then -turned
and was about to leave the hall, when Col.
Morton interposed and sternly beckoned him
back to the table. The stranger obeyed, and
Morton wrote : "You were brave enough to
Insult me by your threatening loi k ten m'a
utes ago ; atrium.) brave enough now to give
me satisfaction 4"
The stranger penned his reply : " I nm at
your service." '
Morton wrote again : "Who will be our
seconds?"
The strariger rejoined : " I am too gener
ous'to seek an advantage: and too brave to
fear on the part of others ; therefore I never
need the aid of a cecood '
Morton penned: "Name your terms."
The stranger traced without a moment's
hesitation : "Time, sunset this arming ;
place, the left bank of Colorado, opposite
Austin ; weapons, rifles, and distance a Min
ftred yards. Do not fail to M. in time I"
He then took three steps across the floor,
and disappeared through the window as he
ad entered
" What I" exclaimed Judge Webb,is it pus.
sible Colonel Morton, that you intend to tight
that man ? Me is a mute, if not a positive
maniac. Such a meeting, I fear, will sadly
tarnish the lustre of your laurels."
"You are mistaken," replied Morton with
a smile ; " that mute is a hero, whose fame
stands in the record of a dozen battles, and
half as many bloody duels. Besides tie is the
favorite emissary and bosom friend of Boas
ton. If I had the good fortune to kill him, I
think it will tempt the President to retract lids
vow against venturing any more on the field
of honor."
" You kfiow the man then. Who is he ?
Who is he ?" asked twenty voices together.
" Deaf Smith," answered Morton cooly.
" Why, no, that cannot be. Deaf Smith
was slain at San Jacinto," remarked Judge
Webb.
"There, again, your honor Is mistaken,"
saidiXorton. "The story of Smith's cleat!'
was a mere fiction, got up by Houston, to save
the life of his favorite fiom sworn venceance
of certain Texans, in whose conduct he had
acted as a spy. I fathomed the artifice twelve
months since." .
" If what you say be true, you arc a mailman
yourself I" exclaimed Webb. " Deaf Smith
was never known to miss his mark. Ile has
often brought down ravens in their most rapid
flight, and killed COlllalleileS and Mexicans at
a distance of two hundred and fifty yards !"
"Say no more," answered Col. Morton, in
tones of deep determination ; "the thing is
already settled. I have already agreed to sect
him, There can be no disgrace in falling be
fore such a shot, and il' I succeed, my triumph
will confer the greater glory !"
Such was the general Habit 01 thought and
feeling prevalent Throughont Texas at this
period.
Towards evening n cast crowd assembled at
the place appointed to witness the hostile inert•
ing, and so great was the popular recklessness
as to affairs of the sort, that numerous and
considerable sums were wagered on the result.
At length the red orb of the summer sun
touched the curved rim of the western hori
zon, covering it all with crimson and gold.
and filling the air with a flood of burring
glory ; and then the two mortal antagonists,
armed with Inng, ponderous rifles, took their
station, back to back, and at a lireconcerted
signal—the waving of a white handkerchief—
walked slowly and steadily off in opposite di
rections, counting their steps until each had
measured fifty. They troth completed the
given number about the same instant, and
then they wheeled, each to nine and lire when
he chose. As the distance was great, both
paused for some seconds—long enough for the
beholders to flash their eyes from one to the
er and mark the striking contrast betwixt
them. The face of Col. Morton was calm
and smiling, but the smile it bore had a most
murderous meaning. On the contrary the
countenance or Deaf Smith was stern and
passionless as e'er. A side view of his fen-
tures might have been mistaken for a profile
done in cast•iron. This one, too, was dressed
in the richest cloth, and the other in smoke
tinted leather. But that made no difference
in Texas the 4 : for the heroic courage were all
considered peers—the class of inferiors em
braced none but cowards.
Presently two rifles exploded With simulta
nevus roars. Col. Morton gave a prodigious
hound upwards, and dropped to the earth a
corpse. Deaf Smith stood erect, and immedi
ately began to reload his rifle ; and then hav
ing finished his task, he hastened away into
the adjacent forest.
Thee days aft, rwards Gem Houston, lie.
companicd by Deaf Smith and t n more men,
appeared in Austin, and without further oppo
sition removed the state papers.
The history of the hero of the foregoing
anecdote was one of the most extraordinary
ever known In the West. He made his ad
vent in Texas at an early period, and con.
tinned to reside there until his death, which
happened some few years ago ; although he
had many warm personal friends, no one
could ever ascertain either the land of his
birth, or a single glean' of his previous bio.
graphy. When lie was questioned on the
subject, he laid his fingers on his lips ; and if
pressed more urgently his brow writhed, and
his dark eyes seemed to shoot sparks of livid
fire. lie could write with astonishing cor•
redness and considering his' situa
lion ; and although denied the exquisite
pleasure and priceless advantages of the sense
of hearing, nature had given him ample com
pensation, by an eye quick and far seeing as
an eagle's and a smell keen and incredible as
that of a raven.. Ile could discover objects
moving mi'es away in the far-olf prairie, when
others could perceive nothing but earth and
sky ; and the rangers used tO declare that he
could catch the scent of a Mexican or Indian
ut as great n distance as a btrzard could dis
tinguish the odor of a dead carcass.
It was these qualities which fitted him so
well for a spy, in which capacity he rendered
Invaluable service to llouston's army during;
the oar of Independence. Ile always w e nt
alone, and generally obtained the information
desired. Ills habits in private life were
equidly singular. Ile could never be per
suaded to sleep under the roof of a house, or
even to close a tent cloth. Wrapped in his
blanket he loved to lie under the blue canopy
of pure ether, and count the stars, or gaze
with a yearning had: at the melancholy moon.
When not employed as a spy or guide, he
uhsisted by hunting, being often absent on
solitary ekcursions for weeks or even months
together in the wilderness. Ile was a genu
ine son of nature, a grownup child of the
woods anti prairie, which he worshipped with
a sort or Pagan adoration. Excluded by his
Infirmities from cordial fellowship with his
kind, he made the inanimate things of earth
his friends, and entered by the heart's own
adoption into brotherhood with the lumina
ries of heaven. Wherever there was land or
water, barren mountains or tangled brakes of
wild waving cane, there was Dent Smith's
home, and there he was happy ; but in the
streets or great cities, in all • the great tho
rolgbfares of men; wherever there was flat
tery of fawning, base cunning or craven fear,
there wits Deaf Smith an alien and exile.
Sit ange soul ! he bath departed on the long
Journey, away among those high bright alias
which were his ,night lamps ; and he has
either solved • orl ceased to ponder the deep
mystery on the magic word "life." Ile is
Lead ; therefore let his errors rest in oblivion,
and his virtues be rememberedwith hope.
A. MONSTER
The largeSt of the Western Norwegian isles,
Senor, which is three Norwegian miles in
length, has a mysterious Inhabitant, or whom
strange things are told by trustworthy people'.
There is on the isle a body of water called the
fiord° ; it lees out of the way with the farm
steads far'apart front each other on its margin.
People tell of the depth of that wilier, as of
several Norwegian lakes, that it is in some
places fathomless ; but another thing they tell
of it too, which Is far more remarkable.
For during a long series of years, after Vari
ous and uncertain intervals, there has been
observed a monster, which rises his arched
back above the daik, lonely lake, and remains
there lying like a holm. Its upward move
ment sends up a circle of powerful waves to.
ward the shore, but then it becomes quiet, and
one sees only a kind of trembling around its
sides, like as when the soft Medusa basks on
the surface of the water.
People have often tried to watch for the ar
rival of the monster, and have waited many
days on the coast; but this being keeps no
computation of time, and It may delay Its
coming for years. Once, two men were sail
ing a little boat across the water ; then, sud
denly the smooth holm lay there ; the rowers
had their backs toward It, and almost touched
the animal with oars. One may imagine their
horror when they perceived it. They pulled

The Real Source of German Nation
ality and Power.
Profoundly impressed with the grandeur of
the.position which has been reached by the
great Germank Empire, we have seen in the
history of Its rise and progress during the past
forty years the most instructive lesson in re
gard to the course of the development of na
tional power and civilization which has ever
been given to mankind. Few events In the
annals of the world can be compared with the ,
steady, onward development of that country,
crowned, as it has been, by the extraordinary
campaigns of 1860 and 1870, and the bound
by which it has won for itself and taken the
lead••rship of Europe.
To us it has been as clear as the norind ty
sun that these results were traceable solely to
the extraordinary development of a diversified
industry in Germany, and that to the protec
tive features of the Zollverein tariff was that
development due. Iknce we have * endeav
ored to Impress upon and carry home to` our
readers the lesson which this history teaches.
A. prominent Democratic paper of Pennsylva
nia, however, dissents from our opinions and
takes issue with us in the choice sentences
which we quote below. These, with others
of a like character, it presents without a
shadow of evidence in their hehalf, being con
tent with its own assertion.
The paper in question says :
The Press, still relying on the ignorance of
its readers, and sided considerably by its own,
insists that the prosperity of Germany is duo
to a •` protective tariff," and continues to per
vert the meaning of the Zoliverein, which is a
commercial union, not for protection, but to
secure uniformity in• duties on imports. In
Germany there Is no such thing as a "protec
tive tariff, its understood by the monopolists of
this country. Such burdens would not be
tolerated with a tithe of the patience exhibited
by the people ofthe United States. Revolution
terrible and complete, would be the result of
any attempt on the part of Bismarck to estab
lish such chilies as the Bessemer steel mono
polists, the cotton and clothing manufacturers,
the salt ring, and the rest of the banditti have
extorted from a servile and corrupt Congress.
The ditties under the North German Confed
eration are collected on a few articles of gen
era consumption, most of them luxuries. On
tin-se the lowest rates consistent settle the pur
poses or raising revenue are imposed. A light
hand is Imposed by the German government
on the, necessaries of life, and taxes are equita- '
bly distributed according to the capacity of
each citizen tee bear them. It would have been
much more just tee say that the prosperity of
Ciermuny is due to the wisdom of the govern
ment in diminishing the public burdens to the
lowest rate, rather than to a protective tariff,
which has no existence in fact, having been
swept away with the rubbish of a past legisla
tion, no longer capable of meeting the de
mands of an enlighted and progressive age.
Now, what are the real facts In the case ?
The policy of protection in Germany was first
carried into practical operation in Prussia by
Fretlericic the Great, " who was greater by
his wisdom in peace limit by his success in
war." By his successors, one of whom, Fred
erick William 11., " tried his best to undo the
work eel his great predecessor," it was by de
grees almost entirely abandoned, and after
the downfall of Nupolcon, in 1815, and the
rising of the Continental blockade, English
competition was permitted to overwhelm
Prussion manufactures. It was not until 1818
that the cries of the people brought them a
tariff which met the wants of the country and
protected them against this competition"'`
Front this date and this event may he traced
the history of the Zollverein. The following
year Prussia induced Mechlenburg. Saxe \Vei
nier, and other states, to join in it union with
them. Other such unions were effected in
Germany, and finally In 1831 was formed the
'Zollverein, which still exists.
To this grail(' result the two men, not In of
ficial position, who contributed most, were
Frederick List and Baron Cotta. 'Vise central
and controlling ideas of List, who was an
eminent awl popular political economint,were
is nationality for his native land and the
building tip of a diversified industry by means
of protection. These were the great ends he
aimed at, and these thoughts can be traced on
nearly every page of his " National System of
Political Economy," from the' title itself to
the cotielnding line of the book. As to whelk
the tariff gave the protection required, as well
its ro the result of it, there can be xo more
competent authority than he. Of the tariff.
Writing in 1811, he says:
• " We hesitate not to say it affords a pro
tection from twenty , to sixty per cent. on man-
Mice!ureel goods," and adds : Germany-in the
space often years lens advanced a century in
prosperity, in self-respect. and power. flow
eeo ? The suppression or the barriers and cos- '
tom-houses which separated the German
States has been an excellent measure • but it
had berme bitter fruit if home industry bad
been exposed to foreign competition. The
protection of the tariff of the Customs Union
(Zolivereign) extended to tnanufneture pro.
ducts in general 'use lens accomplished this
wonderful charge." (See Pol. Econ., Alit.
ed., p. 450.)
But, fortunately, we are not alone confined
to the testimony eef List, as to the history eef
tariff legislation in Germany during the pest
Mrty years. By reference to "Newdegate's
Collection of Tariffs," London, 1855, PP.
78 88, will be seen the tariff of 1853 in opera
tion at the date of the publication of that vol
ume, or twenty-four years after the formation
of the Zollverein. We find that it collects
duties under two hundred and thirty-seven
classifical ions of merchandise, involving thom
sands of distinct articles, and every one of
which duties, without a single exception, is spe
cific, 'not tin advalorent being in the entire ta
riff. This embodies the feature, so long con
tended for by American protectionists, as of
almost equal importance with the rate Maly,
because of stability and the abscence of •
liability to fraud.
New tariffs have from titne to time, at stated
periods, - been enacted : one as lately as the
present year, the duties of which are lower,
with more article-8 on the free list. This fact
taken in connection with the actual condition
or German industry, is neither Moro nor less
than an endorsement of the position maintain
ed by all protectionists, that protection is the
true and only road to genuine free trade.
Germany is, to fact, by means of the many
years of continuous protection she has enjoy
ed, driving England out of not only the Mar
kets of the world, but those of great Britain
also. A. country which is In this position
will soon be In the far better, one of being al
most beyond the necessity for protective du
lls at all.
Mai we in this country been blessed with
just such a tariff of specific duties an the Ger
man one of 1853, front 1840, when the Demo
cratis party repealed the tariff of 1842, and
had we peroisted In it or its ,policy steadily,
we should have been able, long crc this, to
have defied the campetion of the world, tariff
or not tariff. We should then have develop
the !'sfineral and manufacturing resources of
Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Alabama, and
Indeed of all of the Boulbren States, and
would have advanced towards peaceable and
gradual emancipation prior to 1860. Then
would we have escaped the four years of bloo
dy civil war and five more of civil strifii which
were brought upon the country by the British
free-trade Democracy.—Th• a.. '
