THE TARIFF QUESTION AGAIN
The President May Bring It Up by Recon-
mendations in His Message -,,
May De Influenced by Germany's
Threats to Retaliate ON Account -
of the Sugar Duty. .r>-.

President Cleveland Is himself likely to
introduce the tariff question into Congress
by a recommendation in his message that
the discriminating duty of cent a, pound
upon all bounty-paid sugars imported into
the United States shall be abolished by the
repeal of that portion Of the new tariff
law. This will be done, nominally, because
of complaints which have been received
from the German government that these
disc riminations, IL not in ,contravenuion OF
treaty obligations. are certainly likely to
result in retaliation on the part of the Ger
man government.
Republicans Not Likely to Assist.
If the republicans, who have already ex-
pressed themselves as to the financial
policy Of the administration, however, shall
adhere to their views, and the rest of the
republican Senators shall be in accord with
them, this recommendation Of the Presi-
dent will receive no more consideration
than the numerous popgun tariff bills which
have been sent to the Senate by the House
Of Representatives. Senator Platt, IN he
interview recently published in The Star,
has already indicated that, in his Judgment,
the republicans will not even assent to any
change OF the sugar schedule, Objectionable
as II Is to them, in any of its features.
The reason Is assigned that the tariff ques-
ton cannot be opened at any one point, un-
sderation, and the republicans. are deter
mined that tinkering with the tariff shall
not be permitted at this session. ~-
The German Governments Threats.
How influential the threats of retalia ton
by the German government may be re-
mains to be seen. The opponents OF
change In the sugar schedule have already
been furnished with an adequate answer
by a member of the administration. The
Secretary Of Agriculture, Mr.. Morton. who
has just returned from Europe, and who
has given the subject OF retaliation careful
consideration, has recently said that the
threats of Germany In this particular ought
not to alarm the United States, for this
government has ii in its power to retaliate
against Germany by a law already In ex-
istence. and that all that II is necessary
for the United States to do to retort upon
Germany for any avowed policy OF ,etalia-
ton Is for President Cleveland to issue
his proclamation imposing discrimination
against the products of Germany. Existing
law gives the President authority for such
course.

COMMANDER LAWlER HERE
viii Talk to the President Over Alleged
Determinations.
Thinks q. A. II. Men Have Not Been
Treated Fairly-Has q List
OF Such Cases.

Gen. Thomas G. Lawler, conmander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
is In the city for the purpose Of laying be-
fore President Cleveland the matter Of al
legged injustice done veterans, their widows
and orphans in dismissals from the public
service. His visit to Washington follows
out the line Of policy mapped out at the
National Encampment held at Pittshurg.
The Grand Amy claims that the law re-
quiring preference to be given the class
Of employees indicated has been fagrantly
violated, more particularly in the Treasury
and Interior Departments.
The reporter Of The Star called on Com
mander-in- Chief Lawler at the Ebbitt this
afternoon. He was then In the midst OF an
informal reception tend,red him by De-
partment Commander Bickford and staff.
A handsome bouquet bearing the card OF
Manager Birch of the Ebbitt adorned the
center table. and box of fragrant Hava-
mas filled q conspicuous place on the man.
tel. Gen. Lawler said that he was accom-
panied by Adjutant General Jones, and
that this officer had during the forenoon
seen Secretary Thurber, and had arranged
able that they would meet the President
In person at that hour. Much depended on
the outcome Of the Interview With Secre-
tary Thurber.
The Indications were that II he saw the
President at all II would not he till Friday.
He had come on strictly business mis-
sion and without any violent Intentions.
He thought that the administration would
lend an attentive ear to the desires Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. He thought
that II the injustice to the members Of
that organization was pointed out to the
President that Justice would be done. He
could not say whether he would bring the
matter of the numerous specific cases
" hich he had as evidence to the attention
Of the President. He would first talk over
the. subject In its general aspect. Much
In, y ttAh
this was received by the President. II nee
essary he could cite a number OF In
stances In which the law giving preference
to ex-veterans, their widows and orphans
had been violated. Quite a list of cases
of this nature had been furnished him by
the local posts In this department. This
Is about all that he would say in connec-
ton with his VISIT.
Commander-in-Chief Lawler Is short,
thfcf-set fellow, of rotund build and robust
manner with a ruddy face and brown side
whiskers. He has firm grasp In his
hand and a genial way that commends
him to his callers.

THE DETROIT'S OFFICERS.
The Spanish Minister'S Regret ii
Their Reported Treatment.

Senior Don Muruaga, the Spanish minis
ter at Washington. expresses surprise and
regret at the cable reports from Madrid
that the officers of the Detroit have been
shabbiy treated. The minister says any
inattention must have been due to the
recent cabinet crisis in Spain, which oc-
CURED about the time the Detroit arrived.
At that time Premier Sagasta was select
ing new ministers, and the one chosen
for colonial minister was absent In Paris.
As the colonial minister would have charge
Of the formalities attending the reception
of the Detroit his absence and the cabinet
crisis would together account for any ap-
parent inattention. Senior Muruaga Is sat
isfled, however, that the incident is pur-
posely magnifed for personal purposes by
the conservative party and newspapers of
Spain, which is opposed to the govern
ment. The Count Casa Valencia Is con-
servative.
The minister says Spain has felt honored
in having the United States send the CO.
lumbian relics home in a man-of-war and
that 1t has been the desire of the govern
ment to show Very courtesy to the; or.t-
GERS of the Detroit .- - ..s

MUST PAY IN GOLD
A Bill Requiring Percentage Of the
! -e,.,. Revenues in That Coin.
How 1t is Proposed to Keep the Gold
Reserve From Being
Depleted.

1t Is expected that very soon after the
meeting of Congress bill will be introduce
ed to provide that a certain percentage Of
the revenues CT the government the exact
rate not yet determinedD shall be paid In
gold. Il Is doubtful whether during the
short session this measure an be got
through Congress, but a very determined
effort will be made in that direction. 1t Is
universally appreciated that the issue Of
bonds Is but a temporary means of replen-
ishirg the gold reserve. and that soon that
will become an utterly Intellectual measure
unless some plan is adopted by which the
government can hold q considerable per-
centage of the gold so acquired.
Simply a Transfer of Gold.
AS the present policy operates an issue
Of bonds takes gold out of one Of Uncle
Sans hands and puts it in the other. and
part Of the gold. and all eventually. which
is raised on the bonds comes out of the
hands of the government. II the gold re-
serve is increased to eighty or one hundred
millions by the present issue Of bonds, 1t is
recognized that that will be but a tempor-
airy condition. and 1t cannot be very long
before the demands for gold will draw this
out again In exchange for treasury notes.
AS long as the treasury notes are in the
hands Of bankers who are disposed to draw
on the treasury for gold there is nothing
to prevent the depletion of the reserve
Redeemed Notes Put Out Again.
The notes presented for redemption in
gold are Immediately put out again by the
government In payment Of ordinary obliga-
tions. the current revenue being insufficient,
and the same notes are again available to
draw gold from the treasury. All are not
at once presented for redemption, but a.
certain percentage of them come back in
steady stream Of rotation, each time
taking out some Of the gold.
The scheme Proposed.
3 The scheme proposed to compensate for
this In measure is to compel the payment
of such a portion Of the revenues of the
government in gold as to meet the ordi-
nary demands of redemptions Wheth-
ther this plan will work. even If
Its advocates succeed in enacting the
law, Is another question. since the gold
for the payment of these taxes may be
first drawn from the treasury, as is part Of
the gold with which the bonds are pur-
chased The administration is in a dilem-
ma, however. and the necessity of replen-
ishing the gold reserve by other means
than the issue of bonds is recognized.
