Europe's Alarm Over the American Industrial Peril
THE question of “the American peril” is agitating all Europe. A dispatch from Vienna, dated the 22d inst., gives the observations of Prof. Edward Suess, the Austrian publicist and paleontologist, respecting “the industrial and political preponderance of the United States.” He states that “the declining national sentiment in Europe should be replaced by a movement for the common defense of the Central European States against the American trusts, which are moving to conquer the foreign markets more surely than they could be conquered by battle-ships. The American balance of trade has reached an unparalleled figure. It is a serious question if the present political units of Central Europe are strong enough to make an effective defense. The present shifting of the center of gravity of the World’s forces will create three great units—China, Russia, and America. Of the three the United States has decidedly the lead.” Our new book, “The Marvel of Nations,” about to be issued, will tell you why our nation is the marvel of all nations; it will show you clearly its place in prophecy, and the outcome. Besides all this, it will furnish you with a most valuable, up-to-date handbook of information concerning the United States. New illustrations throughout, and thoroughly revised, down-to-date.
