The Germans understood that they could pay tdo dearly for cheap goods. The avowed object of the Zollverein was to free Germany from the overwhelming manufacturing supremacy of Britain the supporters of the Zollverein preached that the maintenance of the founda- tion of the national industry at home mu't ever be the unvarying object of a nation's policy,"
