CONTINUING THE WARFARE.
Germany Selects Another Line of Re-
taliatiOn Against Us.

Germany has taken the initial step to-
ward curtailing the Importation of an
other American product, In the proposition
now before the bundesrath to enormously
increase the DUTY on cotton seed oil. The
proposition is to increase. the present duty,
which is 81, to $50, equivalent to duty
OF 80 per cent, and the proposition is
supported by the combined agrarian and
protectionist Industrial parties there can
be little doubt that 1t will succeed.
The subject is treated at length in a
report 10 the State Department by United
States Consul Merritt at Barmen. He says
that in future cotton seed oil alone of the
oils and oil nuts and seeds will pay high
duty. The raising of the duty is supported
by the report that its for food pur-
poses rose from rf2.G6O pounds in 1856 to
over 100000 pounds in 1Na3. By means of
simple processes of refining cotton seed
oil can be turned into sweet oil and is
Used to a great extent in the manufac-
ture OF artificial butter and also for the
conservation OF fish. "All this means in
good German" says the consul, lone pre-
tends to strike at cotton seed oil and
means to strike oleomargarine. If officially
drugged so as to be unfit for transfOrma-
tion into food the oil Will be admitted at a
much lower rate. The result will be n con-
siderable rise in the price of the material
for the manufacture of oleomargarine, for,
unlike our American manufacturers, the
pci mans nave not SuCCeeueu III producing
the oil from the seed fit for food pur-
poses"
The consul marks the progress OF this
traffic war in the following significant
concluding paragraph:
II had hoped to be able to report that
there was a sincere desire on the part of
the German people to join with the people
of the United States in a mutual effort
for the extension of the commerce of both
countries. but the foregoing. together with
the recent edict against American beef.
would indicate to a. certain extent a diff
ferent attitude in this country toward the
enlargement of sales of American pro-
ducts"
