the Protective FARM in France.

According TO cable reports from
Paris, thorc was very interesting 40
bate IN the auhieCt OF protective
tariff on pork and pork products, in
the French CHAMBER of Deputies, on
Monday.
NJ. CHARLES Gruet, Republican, repre-
Benting the Second district Of Ror.
deaux, opposed the measure, eaying
that be did not think it would fulfil
tho expectation of the agriculturists,
and would cost the consumers 90, COO,
600 francs annually. NJ. Gruet seems
to have pretty clear idea that the
tariff is tax, and that the farmers nf
a country stand very little chance of
proiiting through protection.
NJ. George Graux of the district of
Saint Pol, another Republican-they
do not seem to divide on party lines
over the tariff in France as thsy do in
this nountry--Hupported the bill, lie
said that 10 three years France had
imported hogs and pork pruductH
valued at 100, 600, 600 frauus, while her
exports did not eXGued 1000, 600 francs.
NJ. Jean Jaures. one OF the leaders Of
the Workmen's party, representing tho
Second district of Alhi, expressed the
opinion that tho bill would only help
the manufacturers Of pork products,
and that it would be imprudent to
jeupardize the negotiations with the
United States on tho subjects of woolA
and silks by making illusory changcs
in the customs duties. This member
| had evidently given study to the work
ings OF protective tariff in the United
States, and nUted how it put money in
the Golfers Of certain industries, at the
expense of the rest Of tho people.
The Premier, NJ. Meline, said that
the bill was intended to remedy the
decline in the price Of pork, which, he
pointed out. was doing considerable
harm to French agriculture. The
government was preparing another bill
dealing with the adulteration of pork
products.
The bill was finally adopted by a
vote Of AIS TO 81, 1t FIXES the duty on
hogs at ~ francs, sucking pigs 9
francs, and on hug products so francs,
and lard rs francs, We opine that the
tax will not ne pleasing TO the people
of France. Neither will it find favor
with the exporters Of pork and pork
products in the United States who
will lind in it restriction to trade ir
profitable foreign market. But car
it be wondered at that fureign coun
triss should seuk to raise tariff har
rier against imports from this country
after the example set by the UniteC

ENGLAND WORKING WITH JAPAN

at Wei-Hai-Wei.
COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PAPERS

Berlin, Ger, Dec. 90. The Paris cor
respondent of tho Cologne Gazette has
telegraphed to that paper that he has
learned on reliable authority that the
Russian occupation Of Port Arthur was
connected With the visit there Of the
Britiah warship Dapsne, q week ago
when, in spite OF the protests Of the
Chinese, the Dapsue entered this inner
harhor allegedly to ascertain whether
there were Russian ships there. China
complained OF the incident TO tho rep
resentativee Of the Power at Pekin,
The British Far Eastern squadron ia
said to be ut Talicmoan, and, accord'
ing 10 the correspondent quoted, is
shortly expected at Port Arthur.
The Cologne Gazette regards tho oc.
cupation as merely continuance OF the
cooperation OF Germany with Russia
In Eastern Asia.
GREAT BRITAIN WORKING WITH JAPAN.
London, Eng, Dec. 20. An uncon
firmed report IL current here that part
of the British Far Eastern squadron
will be stationed at Wei Hal Wei this
winter. II true, this indicates that
Great Britain is working in harmony
with japan. The latter power still oc-
cupies Wei Hai.Wsi, pending pay ment
Of the Chinese war indemnity.
The Globe says: Russia and Ger
many now have the two most important
etrategical positions 10 Northern
China. and Great Britain, whose com.
mercial interests there are 10 times
greater, must be content with the
crumbs from the st. Petersburg aud
Berlin tables. !"
The Pail Mall Gazetts says: Every
naval state in the world is actively
concerned in the disturbance OF the
equilibrium in the Far East, Great
Britain, France anu Japan especially.
But tho United States cannot be
treated es quantity to those ignored.
The tame acquiescenco with these
seizures is not worthy OF our past, aud
is fatal to our future. We may remark
that we shall mot be without sympa.
thizers, as the Japanese will most joy
fully back any scheme TO redress the
bitter humiliation they have suffered
at the hands OF Russia. "
Advices received from Paris show
that France is awaiting Great Britain Is
action. II Great Britain follows the
lead Of Russia and Germany, and occu-
pies seaport, France Will forthwith
follow suit.
