Germans Need a Dose of Retaliation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-United States
Consul Deuster, at Crefeld, Germany,
reports to the State Department
two instances where the German
authorities have taken action which
tends to discourage the importation
of American goods. In one case nearly
three times the ordinary duty was assessed
against an invoice of stoves because they
had what would be called common castings
in this country, but which the German APP
praisers said were ornamental castings and
subject to the higher duty. Another case
was where nearly third of a large ship

CAGES FINANCIAL PLAN
TO BE FORMULATED IN HIS COMING
REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT.
Recently Printed Currency Reform
Regulated in His Behalf.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct 15-Secretary
Cages attention was called to-day to what
purported to be an authorized statement of
his financial PLAN which appeared in a
Philadelphia newspaper based, as nearly all
the others which have been given recent
circulation on a crudely given presentation
of the substance of his last springs circular
letter to bankers. Assistant Secretary Van
derlip, after a consultation with Mr. Gage,
made the following statement: LAS a sum-
mary Of proposals which the secretary did
submit to leading financiers d few months
ago, this report is SO garbed as to repre-
sent practically nothing of his real sugges-
tons. Moreover, If this were a correct sum-
mary, no significance should be attached
to it, since the secretarys proposals were
tentative and were submitted to financiers
to see what they thought of them without
definitely committing even Mr.. Gage HIM
self to their support. Besides his own view
has changed somewhat with his study of
the subject and certain plans which he
might have favored three months ago he
would not advocate to-day. The general sit
uation has quite materially changed and the
secretary's real plan will not be given out
in any way until submitted to Congress"
1t is not improbable that Secretary Gage
has been brought to a realization that the
present Congress is extremely unlikely to
favor or adopt any plan looking to the re-
funding of the national debt with a low in
terest-bearing gold bond, and those who are
close to him incline to the opinion that, for
eXpediency's sake, he will not strongly urge
the proposition at this time 1t is believed,
however, that he will pay considerable at
tention to the desirability of a consolida-
ton of the various kinds of paper money
into one issue, but these views are merely
speculative and are not advanced as au-
thoritative With Congress constituted as
1t is it may be said in all truth that the
outlook for substantial currency reform
during the next two years is gloomy. 1t will
take the twinges of adversely to convince
statesmen that anything of the kind IS nee
essary. All that the administration really
expects is that there will be healthy and
free discussion of currency reform along
the lines advocated in the Presidents mes
sage, and in the report of the secretary of
the treasury. Secretary Gage is in seclusion.

draft ready for submission to the President

This included both receipts and expendi-

of consideration, as it is the wish of the
administration to keep the expenditures
from exceeding the receipts The different
heads of departments have been engaged
for some time on the estimates of their de-
partmentS and efforts are being made to
nave reductions made wherever possible. In
both the War and Navy Departments there
IS pressure for larger expenditures for coast
defenses, rivers and harbors, and for in
crease of the navy. The recommendations
of bureau officers in these departments have
been scanned very closely and reductions
will be made If found compatible with the
public interest. In the other departments
there is no urgent demand for increases.
Various other departmental matters were
brought before the Cabinet and several
members remained after the meeting TO con-
