NOTES AND COMMENTS.
commerce,

The tariff war now going on be-
tween Russia and Germany seems
to be exciting much discomfort in
both countries. The writers upon
each side of the question admit
there are radical differences be-
tween the two governments which
must be settled speedily or the poor
people of both countries will suffer.
Russian writers complain that the
rye crop, upon which the taxpayers
of Russia depend, has been sadly
hampered by the determination of
the home government to wage a
tariff war against Germany. Ger
man writer's, on the other hand,
contend that the action of the
imperial government in laying an
embargo on Russian importations
has raised the price of bread
stuffs in the fatherland. The Ger
man-Russian tariff war points to
the abuse of the protective policy
when attempted by countries that
are not self sustaining by nature
and geographical position. Further
than this, it has no significance,
and is destined to cut no figure in
the fundamental questions of "free
trade" and "tariff7' now being dis
cussed as national policies be-
tween the west and England.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-10-10

Russias is not in favor of over
throwing monarchies. Well now,
since when ? Is it just possible
our royalist friends have not been
reading contemporary history? We
have memories of Russian blood
spilled by th- bucket-full south of
the Cars imperial domains for
this very purpose. There still lin
gers a sharp pang caused by dis
patches which told how Russian
cavalry had ridden over palpitat-
ing foes to overturn throne and
change a map by the width of a
paltry inch. But, all the same,
imperial Russia is the friend
of republican America, and there
fingers vision when her feet was
ready to be thrown into New York
harbor upon a memorable occasion,
which Americans will never forget
cannot forget, so long as national
honor and patriotism prevail within
the limits of the great republic.
Siberia is offset by Turkey, the
shame of the east, and has nothing
whatever to do with the ac-
ton Russia may see fit to take in
the Pacific. Our royalist friends
should learn that charges of ignor-
ance brought against Russia and
NJ. Giers should be made from Eu-
rope and not from the west coast of
America, where ideas of civilization
have widened.
