VOL. LX VIII. CAPITOL GOSSIP | TARIFF DIFFICULTIES TO BE AD-| JUSTED IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. i Germany's Discoriminations May Lead to a i Tariff War Retaliation Necessary by the United States. WasHiNGTON, March 11.—1It is for- tunate for the country that the pres-| ent administration is free from jingo- | ism. If it wefe not there would bea certainty of an immediate tariff war | between the United States and the countries which have followed the lead of Germany in excluding Ameri- can cattle and meat, professedly hygienic grounds, and grave of war of a more murderous Although Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle have been confined to their homes by sickness for the greater part | of the last week they have not escaped the pressure brought to bear on them by the jingoists, to retaliate upon those nations—GQGermany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark—by imposing the ten per cent. additional duty authorized by law upon all im-| ports brought to the United States in vessels sailing under the flag of a na- tion that discriminates against Ameri- can products. This may eventually be done, there are several reasons why the administration has no desire to do | it unless compelled by circumstances. First, it is believed that a European | | combination has been formed for the] express purpose of trying force al tariff war in order to cripple the rap-| idly growing foreign trade of the Unit- | ed States; second, the Treasury is in no | condition to lose the revenue which | must necessarily be lost by a tariff’ war with the countries named; third, the struggling business interests of this| country could ill afford at this the entire loss of the trade of countries, which would almost tainly follow retaliation on the part of | this country, and lastly, these tries all declare that they are not criminating, but are only actuated by a desire to preserve the health of their | citizens. Secretary Gresham in exhausting diplomatic remedies be- | fore resorting to retaliation: but if re-| taliation is resorted to it will car- | ried out thoroughly and in the end we shall not be losers, The Republican editors who jumped on Secretary Gresham because of his reported efforts to get the gov-| ernment of Great Britain to settle its boundary dispute with Venezuela by | arbitration have simply their ignorance. Every administration since that of President Arthur has en- deavored to bring about this arbitra- | tion, and in keeping up the effort See- | retary Gresham is not introducing anything new, but merely endorsing a policy which has been supported by four of his predecessors—Frelinghuy- sen, Bayard, Blaine and Foster, —and which is creditable to him in every re- | spect. There is common sense in the cluding words of a statemeut made by Assistant Secretary Curtis, of the Treasury, denying the sensational statements sent out from Washington about the Treasury being embarrassed by reason of delay in the delivery of the gold purchased by the late issue of bonds. Those words, which follow, are especially commended to those Democrats who are fond of getting their news from Republican or assist- ant Republican papers: “The prosper- ity of the country will be greatly hast- ened when some effective method is formed of checking these alarming ar- ticles written by newspaper corres pondents and newsgatherers who are willing to sacrifice the truth and their own consciences—if they have any-—-to create a cheap sensation, and play up- on the feelings of an already over- wrought public.” Chairman Sayers, of the House Ap- propriations committee, closes his analysis of the appropriations made by the Fifty-Third Congress with the fol- lowing: “To have checked the bien- nial bill ion dollar pace set by the Fif- ty-First Congress is an achievement in itself. To have done not only that, but to have reduced the appropria- tions of the Congress below the bill- fon mark is a triumph vast in its pro- portions and significant of a return to economical and honest government.’’ The first fight in the ranks of Repub- licans of the Fifty-Fourth Congress is already on, the principals being Reed and Cannon. The row began over the Crisp complimentary resolution adopt- ed by the last House. Mr. Cannon asked Mr. Reed to offer that resolu- tion and when he declined said he would do it himself, and he did. He also made a few cutting remarks to Reed about his churlishness, The row has grown since then, and although Reed's election to Lhe BSpeakership seems assured, Cannon is said to be engaged in raising obstructions thereto and to be not without hope that a com- bination can be formed to beat him.
