DUTY ON AMERICAN CORN.
Tho French Senate Shows Its Hand OF

The French Senate Shows Its Hand on
American Questions.
The senate has shown it's hand plainly
in regard to American questions. After q
long debate it voted in favor of q duty of
8 francs on corn and 6 francs on corn meal.
1t was distinctly avowed that the duty On
corn was to be considered only as a con-
tinuatlon of the policy toward American
pork. The Comte de Cartel declared that
the importation Of American pork was only
another mode Of importing American corn,
and French farmers coull not maintain
themselves against it. The prohibition of
pork was right and ought to be main
tanned, and the duty on corn should also
be prohlbitive. Molaud called attention
to the fact that American pork is prohib-
tied Oh the ground of alleged unhealthfnl-
ness. He declares that this is merely a
pretext. An Article published in Temps,
thought to reflect the views of the govern
ment, suggests that there might be citcum-
stances under which it might be desirable
to withdraw the prohibition against pork.
