England ... | By Arthur Shadwell '??i HE Industrial expansion of Germany has been achieved bj T equally hard work, but the advt nturous audacity and rest j less Bearch for novelty of America have been replaced t I by steady and watchful effort. The industrial population has Ta" not been left to cave out its own destiny, but has been gutd ed and helped at every step. "Laisser fatre" or "Manches terthuni," as they say in Germany is dead; ordered regula ii tion is accepted and applied with infinite pains by the legls iature. government departments, municipalities and private citltens. It is seen not only in the scientific tariff, but in the careful and judi clous factory code, the state system of Insurance, the organization of traffic and transport by railway and canal, the fostering of the mercantile marine, the education provision, municipal action and poor-law administration. So the ed iflce has been built up four-square and buttressed about on either side. England shows traces of American enterprise and of German order, but the enterprise is faded and the order muddled. They combine to a curious travesty in which activity and perseverance assume the expression of ease and Indolence. The once enterprising manufacturer has grown slack; he has let the business take care of itself, while he Is shooting grouse or yachting in the Mediterranean. That is his business. i Tickling Human Vanity h\ By Wilbur Larremore. ital invested it would Lie necessary to advance present prices on account of the continued advance in the cost of material and labor.
