The Manufacturer.
Mention was made of the fact that q
memorial had been addressed to the Ger
man government asking for an import duty
on foreign bicycles. The memorial states:
1T is well known that the United States
levieS a duty of % per cent. of the valua-
ton, which means an average of so marks
(S14.2S) on a wheel; while, in accordance
with the German duty of "a marks (S5.7D

wheel. The consequence is that Germany
is swamped with cheap (sic) American BIZ
cycles, but for her part cannot export

that we could make large concessions to

is now so Well convinced OF the superiority
Of American bicycles, he says, that our
makers hold the market. On the other
hand, however, 1t IS not likely that German
bicycles, no matter what the duty, would
make serious inroadS upon our home trade
in the United States. The consul general
points out that it is not so much the price,
but the quality of the American wheel that
the Germans appreciate, and for this they
are willing to pay. He says that good
