none are more interested In tho proposed
amendments to the Tariff bill laid before the

bassador looks upon this provision q direct
slap at Germany. for Germany exports to this
country more refined sugar than all the oi her
countries combined. The discriminating duty
OF LILO OF a cent a pound on her refined sugar
IL Is thought. will lead to retaliation against
our products by Germany.
BY virtue OF our reciprocal arrangements
and the earnest work OF the Agricultural De-
