Germany's geographical position, too, is a lecided element of weakness. As regards sea trade with the main European countries, she is not so advantageously situated as England. There is one other important obstacle in Germany's way as a world power. That is, however, of a domestic character, and its name! PATRA NE is the Agtarian party. To humour this party, the present mean cabinet has submitted 10 the_Reichstog...akatiḥ bill framed, chiefly with a view of satisfying that party's de wands for a tariff enalilig, the Germin agri- cakturist to compete with imports of American

fondstiffs on better terms than those now obtain ing. If the bill becomes law, now or later, it will go far to weaken Germany's position as a world power, for it will increase the price of the necessaries of life for the labouring population, and hence must lead to an increase of wages, which in turn will heighten the cost of German uticles of expiunt. This put in a fox wads, is the gist of the matter; and it will be of great interest to the rest of the world to watch the utcome of this struggle in Germany between the mediaval forces her landed and tiled proprietor class, and the modern forces of her commerce and industry. For the final result will either greally handicap Germany in her race with other nations, or che remove a serious obstacle fum her path.
