DcreMding Our Hog. II
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE State De- |
partment has received from WolfRang {
EchGnle. United States Consul mt Bre-
men, Germany, a report containing n ,
synopsis OF the letter recently sent to
Bismarck by the Chamber OF Com
merce OF Bremen, protesting against
The prohisitioH Of the importation Of
American pork. The protest sets forth, 4
first, that American pork, on account of [
vholes0meness aud cheapness. enters
largely into the diet Of the working
olaa1es and has become an Indispensable
article Of food. In spite Of the large.
steadily growing consumption, not a
single case Of trichinosis has been
br0oght 10 the notice of the authori-
ties.
6soond-The prohibition Of the inn
poftatiOn OF American pork products In
very likely to suggest TO the United
Mates Government policy Of reprisal.
II that Governm. mt shouli impose
prohibition duty on German stockings
and knit goods, ii would infiict spou
herman manufacturers loes Of nearly
v6W0. 600 per annum aud reduce whole
70 restitution. In visw of
Ihose considerations the Chamber sub
mits the following petition to the I'm
psrial Chancellor We most respect
fully petition your serene Highncss to
intercede aud interest your self, that the
Import Of American pork products be
set free again.
Consul Soh,snle says protests and pc
titions similar TO this have been sent to
Bismarck by u number Of other C.am-
bars Of Commerce in various parts OF
the Empire.
