German Manufacturer Want Thsir Governneut
TO Levy Higher Duties.

- A<6Vy bAtkuot hbuthCB%
WASHINGTON, June 26.-German opposition
to the introduction Of American bicycles is the
subject Of two consular dispatches to the State
Department made public to-day. J. S. Mon
aFlan, Consul at Chemnitz, says:
THE Union Of German Industries has ad-
dressed a petition to the Foreign Office con-
corning the traffic in bicycles. 1t asks the Gov
eminent to protect manufacturers of bicycles
against outsiders. 1t is aimed practically against
us. Just as soon as the empire sees any machines
that might DO made here making a market for
themselves among its people, new tariff laws, as
high as may be necessary to keep these ma
chimes out, will be passed"
Charles De Kay, Consul-General at Berlin,
writes to Assistant Secretary Day. referring to
the storing of a large number Of American
wheels at Hamburg:
Our wheels pay a duty varying from II
cents to $1.67, according to material and
will be content with is q duty of S11.so on each
rise in duty that American machines have been
accumulated at Hamburg
The Consul-General says that American
wheels have secured and will hold the German
market, because they are the best wheels to be
found. and he suggests as q means to avoid
or prevent a provision Of the German Customs
regulations which may unfairly affect Ameri-
can wheels, that a concession in the pending
tariff bill intended to meet the protest Of Ger
man manufacturers may be of value to Ameri-
can manufacturers.
