The Morning Posts Berlin despatch says the
Tariff Commission seems particularly anx-
lous to secure German industry against
American competition. 1t has proposed
heavy duties upon most Of the articles
now ipmortcd from America. Its last de-
cision is in favor Of duty Of twenty marks per
hundrcdweight Oh leather goods. 1t is now con-
sidering proposal to tax foreign rags. A pro
posed duty on woollen yarns, however, hns pro-
voked the opposition of the German wool
spinncrs. The protectionists arc now attacking
the present coinage system and recommend the
issue Of plenty Of paper money.
The National Zcitung of Berlin, states that

ders have resolved not to undertake any general
revision of the rules of the House, but will
simply revise the arrangements relative to the
