The TRIPLE ALLIANCE TREATIES.
BERLIN, Dec 10.-In the reichstag today
Chancellor Won Caprivi opened the debate
on the new commercial treaties. He made
He dwelt upon the fact that home Indus
tries had received great impetus under
the last customs regime-So much so that
Overproduction had caused some embar-
rassment The commercial measures un-
der discussion, therefore, were necessary
to preserve Germany's husbandry and
commerce The chancellor said that the
immediate effect of the treaties upon the
finances of the empire would be diminu-
tiOn in the revenue amounting to nearly
IS, 000 600 marks. This was matter that
required consideration.
In regard to the question of differential
treatment of countries not included in the
treaties, those countries having the most
favored nation clause would receive the
benefit of the treaties. Regarding other
countries, negotiations were about to
open whereby Germany would endeavor
to obtain concessions. AS regards the
United States, the .tvo governments had
decided to continue to take their stand on
the basis of the arrangement of 1885,
whereby the United States received the
most-favored nation treatment. In any
case the government had no intention to
make further reduction OF the tariffs. In
the meantime the federal government
firmly wlthstood all attacks.
Adverting to the Mckinley law, the
chancellor said: 'We wish the countries
of Europe to preserve their independence
against America. fOr UnlS purpose Iney
must unite together. The treaties just
concluded will give a sure guarantee of the
future"
In conclusion. he said: 81 beg you to
regard the treaties, as a whole, with pa
triotic consideration for the interests of
the fatherIand Ask yourselves the ques-
ton whether Germany's future would be
more prosperous and more promising
with the treaties or without the treaties.
You will then hold the same opinion that
the government holds: That the treaties
are calculated to maintain and advance
the prosperity of Germany and her posi-
ton in the world"
Rechperger Centrist, said that he
hoped that thu treaties, in view of their
economic and political Strengthening of
the empire would be agreed to with as
great unanimity as possible.
Won Kantz, Conservative, opposed the
chancellor's policy.
The debate was then adjourned.
At meeting of the Conservative mem
bers of the reichstag Il voted for and "a
