United　action；　order；　and　energy　could　be　infused　into　these



measures　of　the　Zollverein；　if　the　Zollverein　states　would　assign



the　direction　of　them　in　respect　to　the　North　and　transmarine



affairs　to　Prussia；　and　in　respect　to　the　Danube　and　Oriental



affairs　to　Bavaria。　An　addition　of　ten　per　cent　to　the　present



import　duties　on　manufactures　and　colonial　produce　would　at　present



place　one　million　and　a　half　per　annum　at　the　disposal　of　the



Zollverein。　And　as　it　may　be　expected　with　certainty；　as　a　result



of　the　continual　increase　in　the　export　of　manufactured　goods；　that



in　the　course　of　time　consumption　of　colonial　produce　in　the　states



of　the　Zollverein　will　increase　to　double　and　treble　its　present



amount；　and　consequently　their　customs　revenue　will　increase　in



like　proportion；　sufficient　provision　will　be　made　for　satisfying



the　requirements　above　mentioned；　if　the　states　of　the　Zollverein



establish　the　principle　that　over　and　above　the　addition　of　ten　per



cent　a　part　also　of　all　future　increase　in　import　duties　should　be



placed　at　the　disposal　of　the　Prussian　Government　to　be　expended



for　these　objects。



　　　　As　regards　the　establishment　of　a　German　transport　system；　and



especially　of　a　German　system　of　railways；　we　beg　to　refer　to　a



work　of　our　own　which　specially　treats　of　that　subject。　This　great



enterprise　will　pay　for　itself；　and　all　that　is　required　of　the



Governments　can　be　expressed　in　one　word；　and　that　is　　ENERGY。
