The comparison of industries and inventions. the peculiar products and necessities of different peepies. would be more marked and instructive when brought into juxtaposition with each other. and would offer a larger field for our people to display their skill and energy in inventing and supplying other peoples with whatever they need for their comfort or convonience. A jealous rivalry would spring up among the nations. not of arms or of martial glory. but a generous and laudable competition as to who should excel in the arts of peace. in developing whatever is required for the benefit and advancement of the human race. No doubt our old friend and ally would take especial pleasure in witnessing the progress of a people she once helped. when help was needed. and the countrymen of La Fayette would gladly exhibit to the countrymen of Washington the products and mnuactures of which they may well be proud. and Germany no doubt will contribute her part in the great exhibition. for so many of her citizens have emigrated from the Vaterlaad to build lp homes in this great country that they form a large element of our populationand there must of necessity be a kindly feeling between the two nations. It has been said by some that it would be rather ungracious to invite Great Britainto participate in our anniversary. but am not of those who think that a great andbrave and enlightened people. such as she English people are. can entertain animosity for events so long past. We speak the same language. and are bound together by trade nil ineereose. which neither can forege and it is to the interest of both that that trade and intercourse. sould be increased.
