If Blows in the Shape cf Hostile Tariff Discrimination Shall Be in Fact Struck, Then the United States Should Be Prepared to Return Blow for Blow. Of direct significance to American producers is the official outgiving as to the threateend tariff imbroglio with France. The fact that the announce ment was made through the Associat ed Press sufficiently indicates its au thority and origin. There is no mis taking the purport and the intent of the opening par; graph of the state ment: "Washington, March 6. —The execu tive branch of the government lias abandoned all hope of finding any con cessions which it can offer the French government to prevent the application of the maximum tariff rates on Ameri can products not specifically exempted therefrom by existing arrangements. The situation as to France is there fore similar to that as to Germany; in neither case can this government at present meet the demand for a re ciprocity treaty as the price of mini mum tariff rates for American goods and products. Through their embas sies at. Washington the two countries named have been made aware of this fact, and also that it remains for con gress to decide whether it cares to di vert these blows at the American ex port trade by appioving reciprocity treaties with France and Germany." If it had been framed by the Ameri can Reciprocal Tariff league, this pre sentment could hardly be more sug gestive of an intention to tamper with our protective tariff system under the alleged stress of a necessity "to divert these blows at the American export trade." How are these blows to be averted? ?»ot by the executive branch of the government, for it "has abandoned all hope," we are told. By the action of congress, then. But congress has adjourned and will not meet again in regular session until next December. So congress cannot "divert those blows" inside of ten months. That is, unless the country can be sufficiently frightened to demand that congress be called together in extraordinary ses sion to meet and avert this fearful danger. Was tlu official proimilgal ion through the Associated Press pre pared with this ind in view? Possi bly so. If the scare produces the desired effect, if the American people can be thrown into a panic merely because Germany and France have threatened to at some time or other do something awful to our export trade, unless they are permitted ot force a downwa d revision of the American tariff, then, of course, there will be a general dem onstration in beiialf of prompt action through an extra session of congress. Is this the object of the care procla mation of March G? Is there nothing to be done that will save the situation except the hasty summoning ol con gress into extra session and the hur ried passage of a law authorizing the executive branch of the government to allow foreign nations to dictate what the American tariff shall be? Yes; there is something else that can be done to "divert these blows." The eexcuttve branch can assert its dignity and its courage by calmly awaiting the progress of events; by not dodging before a blow is struck; by not squealing until it is hurt; and then, when the threatened blows shall have been dealt, by taking prompt, measures of defense and letaliation. If the emergency of actual tariff discrimination shall present itself next June or July, or at any othc«r time between now end the ti-st .Mon day in December —and we have not the slightest idea that eith r the Ger man or the French bluffs v ill be tar ried info effect before next December, if nt all—then congress can be* called into extra session. 1 ) do what? Certainly not to "lay down" to Germany and France. To Str:' e back and hit hard by the adop tion of a high maximum tariff that will make the exporter!, of ? !00.000,000 worth of German and French goods shiver in their boots. If there is to be an* extra session of congress to deal with threatened blows at the American export trade, thai is what it should be called for, and rot to surrender the American tariff system at the dictation of any one or more foreign nations. Put meanwhile, as we have said, there is an apparent significance in the Associated Press official pronttn ciamento that the industrial producers will do well to take note of. Direct tariff revision has been postponed un til 100!). it is said; but has indirect revision also been postponed? Revision through reciprocity con cessions to Germany ;;nd France would be an easy form of revision. It would also prove to be the very worst form that tariff revision could possibly take. We do not assert that such is the true inwardness of the announce ment of March 6, but we think it would be wise for those concerned to be on the lookout for developments. The Probable Reason. The Washington Star professes great mystification as to the influ ences that have prevailed with Presi dent Roosevelt In keeping tariff re vision in abeyance for something over two y. ars pasi. We have an explana tion to offer which may help the Star out of its quandary: Ordinary, every day, all-round, common sense. Those in search of a reason may go further and fare worse. CAMERON COUNT \ PRESS, i HURSDAY APRIL 18, 1907 DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY. Arrangement May Involve Destruc tion of Protective Svstern. As the provisional arrangement with Germany made about a year ago, whereby importations into (iermany from the I'nited States received the benefit of the minimum tariff, would have expired next June, with the re sult of exposing American mcrchan- ; disc to the imposition of a sur-tex and possibly of precipitating a tariff war, it is gratifying to learn that Ambas sador von Sternburg has been author- i ized by Ills government to renew the existing understanding for a period sufficiently extended to allow of the negotiation of some permanent agree- ; men). The basis of the negotiation 19 to be furnished by the North commis sion, which went, to Berlin several months ago to confer with the Oer- ! man tariff authorities and which lately returned bringing with it a report whose contents have not yet been pub licly disclosed. It is this report which is embodied in the treaty which the senate will he incited to ratify when congress reassembles. It must be said that the problem presented is one of extreme difficulty. Germany lias adopted a tariff with maximum and minimum schedules. Countries which make concessions to Germany in their customs duties get the benefit of the latter, while to ail others the former are applied. The difference between the two is in many respects very considerable. In some things it is so great us to exclude the products of the non-favored country , from the German market, and. had he, discrimination been enforced again3t l the United States trade would have been injuriously affected. Most Euro pean countries have qualified for par-1 ticipation in the minimum rates by a reciprocal reduction of duty, but the I'nited States has thus far declined to enter into any such arrangement and j tlie chances that it will agree to do in the near future are not worth con sidering. Reciprocity seems fair and looks easy, but a.; soon as the attempt is made to apply the principle of it to practice insurmountable difficulties are encountered. We are asked to re duce the tariff rates on certain lints of German production. Why? Ob-' viously, in order that, the German producer may be < nab!, d to sell his product more largely in the American market. Hut if he docs that it must be at the expense of Ids American competitor, because such articles as this count rv doe- not produce are nearly all on the free lis;. Thus the proposition is that certain American manufacturers shall be excluded from the benefits of the protective system. Hut that system must be for all or none, so that the idea of reciprocity logically involves its destrucion. The people who were saerifrcd would naturally go over to the oilier side. Another thin;.-: Concessions mad ■ to Germany in return for an abate ment in the tariff could hardly I; re fused to Great Britain, which is our best customer and which 0.1 most e; our merchandise charges no duty whatever. It will be seen thai the subject bristles with thorny points.— Philadelphia Inquirer.

What happiness is mine!" Borrowed from Germany. Secretary Hoot, in setting up tho docble tariff system as an ideal, sim ply sorrows from German tariff pro cedure. Germany can have no reason able ground for complaint if instead of meeting her with special favors we open to her the benefit of a minimum j seh' dn> available for all comers— such as site offers to us. Not Germany, but Great Britain, is the largest buyer in American 111 a • kets. Gnat Britain is also a large market for German goods. The British, without a protective tariff, a:- - not i 1 a position to offer special favors. But th" fact that entrance to their markets is absolutely free —as free to the for- i eigner as to the Briton—has caused Germany, we understand, to give the British the benefit of the G iinan mil:- 1 imam rate. Were we to adopt the : German tariff system and give Oer- I many the benefit of our minimum schedule we would be tinder no obli gation to impose the maximum schedule on Great Britain. But would 1 that be more satisfactory to Germany ! than our present course? —Pittsburg Chronicle. What Was Promised. The Republican party promised in 1898 to restore the reciprocity policy —Philadelphia Record. But the promise was not. of recip rocitv in competing products It was distinctly specified that articles re ceived from other countries under re ciprocity arrangements should be "articles which we do not ourselves, produce." The Republican parly has never promise* reciprocity on an\ other basis. It never will, never can promise reciprocity in competing prod ucts until it shall first decide to nban don the policy of protection. !n Memory of "Rough Rite" Is Dedicated.

Mrs. Allyu K. Ca pion, the widow of Capt. ('apron, o" the Rough Rider regiment, who fel) at Las Guasimas, pulled tho cord holding the American Hag that cov ered the monument. Rev. I). J. Staf ford, of St. Patrick's church, this city, made the dedication address. Regular troops and part of the. na tional guard of the District of Co lumbia participated in the exercises incident to the dedication. The pres ident, accompanied trotn tho Whi.e. House by Lieut.

Pittsburg, late Friday, in which the speaker announced a plan to raise SIOO,OOO necessary to conduct the pil ■.imug'* from all countries to The Hague conference, advocated in a re cent New York address, unbounded enthusiasm took possession of the large audience and money was thrown to th; floor of the stage. Mr. Stead after explaining the pur pose of the pilgrimage to the next Hague conference estimated that it would take at least SIOO,OOO to finance the proposition. To raise this sum he proposed that every boy and girl in colleges and universities throughout the I'nited States donate ■"•0 cents toward the fund need d. He -aid the lesson furnished to Europe by . uch a movement would be an in fluential factor in the quest of inter national peace. The suggestion came at the end of his address and he sui down amid 'oud applause. For fully five minutes In clapping and cheering was pro longed and finally the speaker again arose and said that probably the audience would like to contribute to the fund. Immediately a shower of silver money landed on the stage, coming from all parts of the hall. FINANCE AND TRADE. Bad Weather Has Had a Deterrent Effect on Many Lines of Business. Xmv York. —It. G.
