BERLIN, June eff the popular diScon.
tent We're allowed to manifest itself freely
against the governments decision to main
tain the corn duties, Germany would be
ablaze with demonstration. Since Chancel-
lor Caprivi surprised the country, including
the Agarian party. with his declaration
that the existing tariff must remain until
at least new treaty negotiations with other
nations were arranged, dissatisfaction
among the working men has become
evaporation. The political parties
which are open to popular emo
lions are becoming penetrated with
the sense that the government has made a
mistake and must reconsider its decision in
the face of the increasing price of cereals,
especially rye. which forms the staple of
the peoples food. Even the official press
speaks in an aROloeetic tone of the attitude
of the government.
The North German Gazette stands almost
alone in sustaining theoretically the minis
terial policy, urging that the suspension OF
duties on cereals
WOULD NOT Cheaper BREAD,
while the abolition OF the duty would imply
a revision of the whole protectiOnist tariff
in the direction of free trade.
The national Liberal organs, while ad-
hitting the severity of the pressure, plead
that since all parties accept the principle of

The Vossische Zeitung warns the govern
ment and ministers that the attitude of the
people is assuming menacing character.
The Verwaerts and other rOyalist pa

proach the ministers. Even the
Agrarian Kreuz Zeitung makes
light of the chancellor's policy,
declaring that the protectionist

The ProgreSsists in the lower house of
the Prussian diet have vainly tried
to get the minister to produce the
reports on which their decision not to
Chancellor Won Caprivis estimates are
held to be of small value beside the marked
facts.
The F'reissinnge Zeitung points out that
the price of rye is now almost attaining the
figure reached during the famine years of
1876 and 1877.
AS the session of the landtag will close
within a fortnight there is small chance
that the opposition will get time to conduct
a parliamentary agitation. They are there
fore preparing for campaign in the coun-
try.
The Socialists are active. They value
the situation and will give energy to the
opposition movement. In every populous
center meetings have been held this week.
Six have been held in the Berlin district.
From various quarters of the country me-
MORALS reach the government in favor of
the suspension of the duties.
EXODUS OF JEWS.
The committee for the relief of Russian
Jews report that many injured Hebrews
are arriving at Charlottenbmg The
people were wounded while fleeing
from the Russian police. A number
of Jews were killed while trying to escape
over the frontier. The exodus is assuming
such vast proportions that private charity
will soon be powerless to cope with it and
the government will be compelled to
