Excerpt from Monarchical Socialism in Germany Besides the productive ownerships of the em pire, and of the individual states, the cities of Germany have gone deeply into street railways, gas, electricity, water-works, slaughter-houses, market halls, cold storage, canals, and wharfs. Thus the republic of Liibeck pays per cent of its expenses from such sources, Hamburg, per cent, and Bremen, per cent. It is a fact of some interest that the republics among the states of the empire are far more backward in communal ownership than are the monarchies.
