erica, since we are entitled TO the most
favored nations treatment. Besides,
while the Mckinley law was in fo-ce,
our representative at Washington and
the resident minister made an agree
ment that the treatment of sugar i'm
ports from Germany should not be
changed. We, therefore, contend that
the clause imposes an extra burden up
on Germany, which infringes upon the
existing agreement. This is serious, as
it concerns not only the sugar manufac-
turers of Germany, but also the agricul-
turists of a large district of Germany,
especially those of. Saxony, Brunswick
and Anhalt and to some extent those
of East Prussia and Posen, where the
best crops are affected
Councillor Hammer continues: 1.-THE
government still has hopes to come to
an amicable entente and there is moth
ing in our minister's protest. But nat
urally we may adopt measures in the
event of the protest being unheeded.
Such retaliation would especially please
our big agrarian party, as it would rid
them of American competition in bread
stuffs and meat"
Social Matters.
A German-American, Richard Eoerid-
Ter, is flooding various public offices
with his pamphlet, Fiat Justicia." He
was once an inmate of an asylum for
lunatics. His pamphlet recites his ex-
periences there, and he is trying to OBJ
tain legacy at Hamm, Westphalia.

Goeridler to fight a duel with pistols
The latter insists he is an anarchist
Much attention has been attracted to
pamphlet written by Privy Councillor
Rossler, at one time Prince Bismarck s
confidential adviser, entitled, Social
Democracy" This pamphlet declares
the suspension of the constitutional die
tatorship is the only solution for Ger
many's domestic troubles caused by So
cialistic and agrarian questions The
emperor would not be an absolute die
tator, but the writer recommends a die
tatorship federal council. In other
words, that parliament be dissolved
and the emperor and federal council
nave all the legislative powers
The scheme has been classed as q
mad one. and is said only to show how
the fear of social democracy begins tc
unhlnge the brain of serious politicians
such proposals. however. are grist to
the socialist mill.

Laws Against Anarchy.
The visit of Chancellor Won Capriy
TO Emperor William at Newberrstocl
has given rise to much surmise anC
speculation. The general belief. how.
ever, is that the chancellors visit was
connected with the proposed exceptiona
laws against anarchists, which have
been urged in many quarters. The
ag1tatorS, II is believed, really intend
the laws referred to should be applied
1 to socialists. Won Caprivi, therefore
opposes the proposed measures. as hi
does not believe in the efficacy of specfa
measures against them, being of tht
opinion the best policy is to leave then
comparatively free, thus giving thu
I party full scope in its internal dissen
sions, which he believes will ultimately
I lead to its disintegration.
A new anti-socialist law. the chan
cellor claims, would only bind tn,
socialist party closer together. In any
case. ii is known the present reichstas
would not pass such a measure, but i
might be introduced in the diets of tn,
individual states. The situation, how
ever, is regarded in many quarters a.
being grave, and some politicians ever
express the belief that Won Caprfv
will resign unless he is fully backed III
by the emperor.

A pamphlet lately issued here en-
titled ''Usury and Its Financzers," b,
Herr Krause, a well known socialis
in national economy, has attracted tn,
attention of the emperor on account o
the many well authenticated sensa
tional cases cited in its pages. Severa
arrests of local usurers has been mad
on evidence furnished by this pamphlet
The author is preparing an enlarged
edition containing many new cases.
