"It is undoubtedly," lie declares, "greatly due to the unquenchable desire" to work with which Germans of all classes are inspired. Not the tariff, but habits of industry, keenness, application are the secret. It is "the neglect of at least some of tlieso qualities 011 the part of her competitors abroad rather than any special economic system," which "has enabled her to conquer new markets, which others had until then controlled."
