Austrla- Hungry ssProaectings' Etself
Against American Products.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 1S97.-Austria-
Hungary continues to Display considerable
ingenuity in finding ways to prevent
Americans from selling anything; what
ever in that Empire. According to a re-
port to the State Department from Con-
sui Hunt, at Prague, active measures are
in progress, during the present session of
the Austrian Reicharath to increase the
import duty on glucose so that it will
be impossible, if the duty is raised, to
import glucose into Austro-Hungary
This movement is directed solely
against glucose manufacturers in
the United States. Owing to the fall
in prices last year In the home
corn market, it has been easy for Amer
lean manufacturers to export to Austria
at good profit. Within the five months
June to October-there have been sent
to Austria-Hungary from the United
States 1900 barrels of 800 Kilograms (6e0
pounds) each, or a total of 2,640,oO0
pounds.
The present duty is s. forms (about
$3.50 in gold per 100 gilograms (22O
pounds) gross, or about forms (S3.3O
per 100 kilograms net 1t is the purpose
of the Austrian glucose manufactures to
have this duty raised to 10 forms per
, 100 Kilograms net and effectually bar
out the better and cheaper article from
the United States.

GRIGGS WELCOMES DEMOCRATS,
Says the Sound Money Mem Must
Not BE SnubbeS,

That Governor Grlggs of New Jersey
cannot be depended upon to countenance
wild partisan schemes or to turn against
the army of Sound Money Democrats who
did 50 much to turn the State unto the
Mckinley column, is evidenced by utter
ances he made to an interviewer In New
York yesterday. Asked If he thought
New Jersey would become Republican
State In future elections, the Governor
said it depended upon several things. The
Democrats might not return to their old
party alignment broken up as they now
are, in which case the Republican party
should, and probably would, receive large
accessions from the Soun1 Money Demo-
Gratis.
Il notice a disposition, though" added
the Governor, among many Republicans
to give the Sound Money Democrats, the
bone and senew of the land, who voted
with us, the cold shoulder. They say.
oh, well, we would have elected oiir
ticket without them do not think that
this is the proper spirit to show, If we
expect to retain a majority or any Of
these Democrats in our party. The time
is ripe for US to concilsate and make these
Democrats feel that they are welcome
in our party. They stood with US in the
campaign just ended and helped US to
win great yict0ryD -
