Agrarians for q customs war with the Unit,d
States has gained immensely In Importance in

the situation is simply this:
In 1895 the German export trade to North

1873. Thus 3o.6 per cent. of the total exports of
Germany are threatened by recent events.

with the difficult task Of protecting the nations
