THE QERUAX STRIKES. (rnoit oca pacsiiAX cozreapoxocxt.) BERLIN, Aran.

21. Ai appeared from ray former article, the iocras of from 60 to 75 per cent, la tho wages of Genaaa arti aans iu tho last 10 yean was perfectly justified by tit rise in the price of provisions and the rate of rent. Two drcnmstauicea. however, oombiae to push the movement beyond its legitimate limits. On the one band, the waea in all trades within the last year alone have advanced 40 per cent.

This aadden and simultaneous increase a result of the extraordinary impetus the consolidation of Germany has to trade by adding to the expense 6f livinij for all classes aliko aggravates the grievance it was intended to remove. Again, the artisans, elated at the aijjnal succeu of their strikes, and ignorant of the unusual causes which occasioned their late triumph, are tempted to believe that the experiment may he repeated cui tnn nitum; and that it only depends on them to.reverse the laws of barter and exchange. The enormous profits which thc iniddle have recently realized by the sudden rise in the price of everything, from a horae shoe nail, to a landed estate, naturally contribute to eontirm the) working men, in their serious error; and as so many common of little learning and less juygment, have shared in the benefit of this commercial windfall, the operatives arj all the Ies3 able to per ceivo why. they alone sbouIJ be excluded Irpui the bleains of such a prosperous time when men not much above' them are enjoying i all to their till. Considering their defective erhdcatioo.

we cannot blame them for isnbrin that whatever the origin and positi'on'of a man. if he has niaiiaged tosavo something and invest it, in business or etouk, lie is entitled to profit by certain chanca necta aarilv closed against the, proletariat who lives from hand to mouth nor can they be held responsible for disregarding the fact that if tho vast develop ment of trade has enriched the owners of every variety of goods, speculation has done a great to aid the process, ami has created fictitious values, pro wnich may turn out to be nothing at all, and inflict infinite loss upon the last holder. In all these important points the ignorance of oar operatives has turned to good account by the socialistic members of the strike committees, dne wholo tone of the labouring community indicates this. The men begin tb'doubt the fairness ot'the existing state of things. They theorize! in their own crude way about the division of profess sanguine hopes as to the future prospects of 'their order.

Although revolutionary ideas are nowhere broached, except in the few small conventiclei of avowed Communists, there is: yet a lurking tendency to question tho justice of arrangement which humanity has so long indispensable. The labouring man does not menace, but he demands jie does not dream of using! violence, but he is 'confident that; ho will somehow or other be enabled to eilect a radical change in the time honoured institutions of society. This revulsion in tho opinion of the men is the more remark able because there exists in this country a large number of masters in a small way, who are scarcely anv better otf than their hands. This class, whose only distinguishing feature consists in possessing tools and a workshop of their own, has always been very numerous in a race ideal .3 personal independence. Until it short time ago, these small masters constituted a connecting link between tho more wealthy employers and the" labouring men.

But they have ceased to do so, and now are either ranked with the sans or with tho bloated If very poor. they make common cause with the ordinary labourer if a little aiove the level of the masses, they try to resist the encroachments of and fitqit their own battle sturdily a3 those on the hidbest round of the ladder. The artisans at presenticnow only allies or enemies, and so the small masters must make theic choice. Such is the separating effect of the war iof classes iu its very outset. All these marked social and commercial innova tious could not help producing ulterior results.

The year 1872 had scarcely opened when masters began to prepare more zealously than ever for the redoubled activity, which in this cold climate comes in witH 4Viq aiimmal. TmmArliatalv tiio Ttatrlin building trades turned recusant. Remembering late defeats, tho masters this time thought discretion the better bnrt of valour, and gave in without a struggle. Before a strike could be urbanized, the masons and carpenters of the metropolis succeeded in obtaining 3V. 9J.

and 10 hours, instead of the 3s. 61. and 11 hours accorded them in the past year. Good workmen had even4.6d.conceded them, a very fair rate of remuneration, especially when it is taken into account that two hours for luncheon, dinner, and cotfee must bo deducted from the stipulated ten. Is not nearly 7M.

a ysar enough for a mason, when an assistant judge, after serving 6to years unsalaried, is, in the sixth year of his public career, blessed with the magnificent salary of 10V. I The carpenters think otherwise. Encouraged by their fresh success, they have just struck in a body, demanding that the 4s. 6d. which hitherto constituted the earnings o'f skilled hands should be conceded to all indiscriminately.

Another point they insist upoj is a fortnight notice, oe fore dismissal. With tbe free and independent manners now a days prevailing aruong the men, masters have no other means of making them do their duty 'but instantaneous dismissal, as hitherto practised. However, notwithstanding the firmness with.which the masters stand their ground, the masons begin to imitate the example of the carpenters, and betray a disposition likewise to organize a general strike with the same programme. The cigarmakers have also left their factories; asking for similar terms; and at. the three trades mentioned are the moat enterprising' of all and generally take the lead in the movements of the labour in clause, the.

slightest success of one will be the signal for the resumption of last year's general: cani paizu, and bring the entire1 working community into the field. Already iu KhineLand the; file cutters, knife grinders, and other workers in iron are beginning active operations. At Kiel masons and carpenters have hoisted the flag of opposition, and at Chemnitz the attitudtf of the engine makers ia so disquieting that the masters have entered into a league for common defence, and asked their colleagues throughout Germany to join them. There is reason to believe that similar precautions have been taken by the men of all the liferent trades, and that for the present at rate the organization of the artisans is more comprehensive and strict) than that of the masters. It is terrible to contemplate what the upshot of; this social warfare would be, were it to continue long enough to see the 'greater part of masters and men arrayed in two hostile and well disciplined Thus far the police have had but little extra work on account of the strikes.

Although an unpleasant feeling predominates among the lower classes, acts of violence are rare. Even in the larger towns, where the men have been most worked upon by the Socialists, those actually convinced of the justice of these sanguine speculations are far too few to attempt to proceed from words; to blows. There is, too, something in the reflective and temperate turn of the national character which makes the very victims of Socialist delusions doubt the honesty and practicability of tbe charming visions they see in their phantasmagorian creed. As a rule, the men, though regarding the masters as competitors, and opposing them' with all the weapons fair in commercial rivalry, do not hate them. They are intent upon curtailing the masters' profits, to their own ad vantage, and bitterly resent every allusion to; their former subordinate, state; but they are still equitable enough to distinguish between social opposition and personal enmity, and shrink from bestowing elegant appellatives upon those whom Giey do not mind calling their adversaries.

In this respect the German artisan differs as yet most satisfactorily from his French comrade. A ftw isolated 'instances excepted, operatives have abstained from alt excess duriug the whole exciting ptriod of last ear's strikes. In the few cases wherein official interference was called for. the executive authorities made short work with the offender), and file Courts pronounced severe sentences upon them. In Berlin, for instances, four and six months' imprisonment were repeatedly awarded to men who had attacked those who would 'f not join the strike.

Workmen who after undertaking fiece work made common cause with the rest, were instantly imprisoned for breach of contract, only reieaaedoa promising thatv they would fulfil their eiigaVgetnenttu, Thereof, hbwerer, no denying that the temper of the men has become more irritable than it was, aod that society is looking forward with dismay to tbe fresh troubles that seem to be drawing on apace. Pending the outburst, the scholarly mind of Germany is attempting with fiery energy to grapple with the new question that has so suddenly punad an unexpected importance in the country. or are practical philanthropists wanting to allay the acrimony of the strife, and to try by practical experiment to effect a recouciliatioa between the contending parties. Of their meritorious effort I hope to be able to speak shortly. M.

CHEVALIER AND COMMERCIAL TREATIES. In the Pruuia of 183G there were 45T.3G5 master tradesmen, with 334,783 workmen under them. By 151, notwithetendinr tb havoe worked by the prcfrees wnol aale the total of the matters had increased to 550,324. and that of the workmen to 542,044. The population curing tbe same period increased.

Cobden in nesotiating the Anglo French Treaty of Commerce, has addressed a letter, of which the following is a translation, to tne Journal duUltdt "For'sorce days past tbe must important news to tbe industrial and com menial world has been tLe de DnndaUJo of tbe Treaties oz Ummrroe r( rrancwwitb England and Belsiam. This act is much aggravated by tbe penonal jrocwiUfa of tbe Chief of the Stale at the Tariff Commission in pressing the avioption oz nit views in tne taxation cf raw matei iala. aad which, tiace the llrth of. Janntry. it was inpitied had been deal and Lnried.

This change, Licit bad been accompluhed onlr af ter can In 1 forethoasiit, excitett tbe antipathy of M. Thiers. The desUnctioo of tbe Treaty oc Comiuerte beouce wilt him a fixed idea, aa it vt.

The commercial ajitein ootainei for Frei.ce great material prosperitv. aid it is on wtat now remains of this snoress that tLe present Government is supported.

Tbe fact that by tbe impulse that given to French, industry the exports of frauce to Europe equalled those of England speaks with greater aad more cvavinciojr eipence than tbe best speech of IL Thiers consequently, to fall back upon the old ttttem is a public caUmily. M. hat asserted as a fact, aad maintaiced it .10 tbe tribune, that the cwnmercial policy of IdCOhas' impoverished France; but wetak tbe liberty to say to if. Thiers, as a Frenchman and a friend of or with tbe respect due to the First Magistrate of the country; that he, Al. Tbiert.

TLe iilastriout President of the KeiutH mould know, ho errr. rn tbe contrarv, that the power is' not given hi to nudo the work of 1SOJ.

These Powers have declared to our Government with remarkable unaniiaitT that they da not intend toeonn tenaoee the chanzea he The. question then stands 1 oes M.

Thiers telieve that by dint cf force be can brave the ditnletsare of tue whole of Europe he who has reproached the Empire so much for not taking proper care of its alliances 7 Does be wish to en counts universal hostility bv his futile attempt to impose his opinions oa thoae Powers It is impossible that he. can have forvotten tha great and severe leasoa which Euro gave hiiu on the ISth of Jnly, 140, when be as Prtme Mini ster witned hi peraonal lueas in relation to tue aCaurs of iLrrnl to prevail over those of all the other foreiza Cabinets. But it ii to tbe patriotic sentiments of the historitn of the Revolution that we make our appeal. A surprising thirg with M.Thiers. and a singular trait taken in coonexioa with his distinguished intelligence, is that with the ardent seal be nsa manifest! for tne pntxipies ol lrtM, aivl Uie programme expounded bv him on so uanv occatioos under tse'rume of necessary, liberties nfctttirtt), be lias yet artempter! to restore Protection.

In effect, tint re strictive system is condemned by toe principles of Jib? aa diametrically opposed to liberty and equality. It is contra revolutionary in the sense that true Liberals attach to that word. It aims to establish permanently in society a privileged class, receiving duties from their feUsw cititens without any otUer claim than aunuetlj. It excludes a freedom which Is not only necessary, but is indispensable that is to say, the free action of the various industries, or, in. other word, the liberty to work.

It refuses to the people tbe rijhta' that Turcot, in tbe immortal preamble to the edict for the abolition of the freedom of companies and warden snips, has exactly qualified In saying that they were the most sacred and imprescriptible that we have in the world. In the artificial enhancement of tbe prices of articles tusonft.etared st home by raesns of duties imposed on foreign manufacturers the Protectioniit rigihie compels the public to. pay French manufacturers a duty represented by tbe excess of price. By what principle of right is this claimed? The manufacturer without th stimulus of foreign competition is leas attentive, and sometimes neglect's to adopt the improvements to which his industry has attained, and this negligence which heodght to feel is as a consequence a burden to the public who have to pay or, in other words, a premium is fiven for the encouragement of negligent manufacture. Competition ia a meant to promote prosress, but it ia otherwise where it is all industry claiming the rijht of protection avows therrby ita insufficiency aod bear witness against itself.

Why condemn the privileges hih a lord of the manor enjoyed to compel the use of the public mill aad oven as it existed under the old rcyt'otc if it is admitted that we maybe equitably constrained to clothe oarrelvrs with tbe cotton and clothe of Messrs. So andSo when the Belgian, the English, and Swiss manufacturers offer them to ua or 20 per cent, cheaper I Why was the privilege which was accorded to the nobility exempting them from dered an abuse It is certainly conformable to tbe prineiple that a manufaetu'rer shall be able by meant of Protection to force his fellowitixens to serve him by paying tribute. Tbe freedom of UUnr does not exist where tnemsnu factnrer who, for instance, wants cotton yarn to mike cloth which he could seil with advantage at home and abroad, is ytt prevented purchasing in England or at Basle, where the price is because a spinner of Rosen or Lisle who in the eye ot the law is the same as you or I has had the art to bare inserted in the tariff a duty on the foreign yarns for his own profit and to' the detriment of his fellow cilizans who are bis equals. This precious and fundamental principle of liberty does not exist where it is desired to buy a machine cr a loom which are to be had in France only of inferior quality or at an exorbitant price and tbe purchaser is Uttered in Lis wish to buy ttetn from tbe foreigner by a Customs duty created for tbe advantage of tbe French n.aser,. w'bo la of no more importance than, himself.

NHow is it possible to rvfnte tho dostrinet of the Socialiit deuiagogoe, who claims for the workman the rights cf labour, if we grant tbne rights of labour to the manufacturer who is not willing, or has not learned, or is not capable of placing hiirrself in a position enabling him to meet competition Tl.e two cases are tbe tame. By this system of restriction, which annoys the industrious and enterprising man by unbounded obstacles, auJ ia in favour of indolence, incapacity, and helplessness, an enormous injury is dose to the country by stopping the growth of trade, "which is the livelihood of tbe necessi tons classes. How a re wa to a transition from this aad ayttem tut by a sue oesdvarrvductioa of Cuttojas duties, witbttei bject of taking care ofaTkreat uaaa of exlating inUreaU? it ia thus that a politic and wise counaelVuuld direct. Tboa it is we pro I pcse to nroceeu. ana lstus wtucn was uone esectirtiy in liWO and tbe following yean.

Bat to persist in a reaction aajest tLe policy of oommeivial pnurese of which the Empire took the intelligent and fruitful initiative and obstinately to revive the good. Jiys of Protection is to prove that we are behind tbe times, that we are tainted with old and wo moot ideas, and in nowise understand the interests of France branSciently comprehend the principles of lTifJ. Aato onrselves, let us endeavonr to be worthy of the department of l'Herault, which since 1902 has been in the tront rank in clairning the inauguration of commercial liberty, and has not changed in that opinion nor in the re solution to vlefeod the general icterests threatened by the Uiul preiuJices of sourb and the private interests of others.
