FRENCH TARIFF TALK.
The ProtectIonist Reaction TO Cause Much
rroubie--It VIII Not Last.

rroubie-It VIII Not Last.
by Anglo-Amcrican cable TO the Dispatch.l
PARIS. March 7.-Apropos of the present
tariff agitation NJ. de Moinari, editor of
the Journal des EconO,ntaes and WE'LL
known advocate Of free-trade principles,
said TO correspondent Of the Associated
Press: There is Il complete rejection in
France in favor of protection. In both
chambers the protectionists have very
strong majority. II is true that at least
two members OF the present minlstry--M.
Rouyier, the Minister of Finance, and NJ.
Yves Gnyot, the Minister of Public
Works-are pronounced free, traders, but
they can do nothing for the cause. The
step that Parliament is about 10 take will
injurc France enormously. Our manufac-
turers SEQ no further than the ends of
their noses. Protection is a sulcidal policy,
and yet the protectionist spirit has always
existed in France"
NOT TO LAST LONG.
NJ. Courcelle- Seneuil, a member of the
Institute, said 81 am persuaded that the
tariff which If now being prepared is not
destined 10 remain in force for very long
period. The example of the United States
In its recent legislation has had great in
fiuence In France. But If America should
now veer round in the direction of free
trade its action would probably determine
similar movement in France"
IT WILL HAVE TO BE MODIFIED.
NJ. Paul Leroy -Beaulieu, editor of the
EconoTaiSte Froncdtse and a professor at the
College Of France, said =" / believe that
in year or so the Legislature will be
obliged to modify the tariff IL Is now pre-
pairing. This great protectionist reaction
will cause US much trouble at home and
abroad. The Government IS already rather
frightened by the prospects Of the results
which the coming tariff threatens to have.
Very few of the Cabinet Ministers are
really protectionists at heart. Many depu-
ties share the opinions of these ministers
in their Utmost souls, but their constitu-
ents force them to vote for protection,
which Is the reason why the Legislature is
composed so entirely Of high-tariff men.
Unless ] am quite mistaken in my pre-
vision the new tariff will not be very
lasting one.N
FORK is CHEAPER.
NJ. Noel Parfait. veteran Republican
and protectiOnist deputy, made state
ment that pork was cheaper in France
since the prohibition of American pork.
He added: Naturally we do not wish TO
change this state of things"

purpose of building blast furnaces, iron

them by the owners different properties
here and in the vicinity, including city
lots, acre property, iron, coal and lime

stock to the owners to the full value of
their property thus decided. When enough
