naners are fun of it. The whole Agra
rian party still urges the government 10
declare a tariff war against the Unltel
States before or Immediately after the
Dingley bill becomes law. Even con-
siderable portion of the industrial classes
of Germany favor such plan. Inc gov

urging retaliation. The government, now
