DeCrying American Products.


The pieuro pneumonia among cattle. the
trichiaa among hogs, and the complaints
from abroad of American tobacco, would
seem to threaten our export trade with Sc
rious loss. American beef pork. and to-
baeeo, enter largely into competition with
foreign producers, whose interests are to
be greatly subserved, it Is expected, hy
this hue and cry against American pro
Auce. Even American canned fruits aud
vegetables are pronounced poisonous
through the action, Il IS alleged, of the
acids they contain upon the isferior tin
which Is used, or upon the solder with
which the cans are sealed. There is great
'and growing jealousy ia Europe of every
thing American, because of conflicting IN
trests of foreign producers. This Is GOT
10 be wondered at, it is OILY natural but
when our own citizens unite their efforts
10 those of foreigners to deery American
produce. it is indeed, something saFprising.
In such a category is the present eiamor
against Maryland tobacco inspection and
not against the Maryland inspection
merely. but complaints equally loud are
made against the shipments from New
York, Virginia aud Kentucky. Asto our
beef, pork, and canned fruits and vegetables,
their hungry masses must have them and
as to our tobacco, the German hopes by
persistent growing to enjoy its fumes at
cheaper rate.
Facts have recently come to light which
go to pgove that interested motives are at
the boGtoas of the English and French
efforts to deery American beef and pork.
And further investigation will probably
show similar causes for the cutlery from
Bremen against American tobacco. The
balance of trade has for some time been
largely Ia our favor, and that balance has
now to be settled mainly with coin. For
some wears the balance was paid by the
retaro Of limited States bonds, but as that
resource is taken away the dTaia of for
eign coin increases, heaee it is desirable to
our foreign customers that their own pro
duets should cancel this balance. Failing
in that, selfintcrest prompts them to de-
ery our products, in order that trade may
be diverted from US to countries where
they cas- Sud a reciprocal market, thus
disposing Of their manufactures aud keep
ing their coin at hone,
