Will retain their posts
THE DINGLi3Y BILL
The Dingley bill debate in the Reich
stag has attracted much attention
throughout the Empire and the news
papers are full OF it. The whole Agra
rian party still urges the Government
10 declare tariff war against the United
states before or Immediately after the
Dingley bill becomes a law Even Il
considerable portion Of the Industrial
Glasses Of Germany favor such q plan
The Government has received memorials
from the Chamber Of Commerce of Dus-
suldorf. Crefeld. AK La Chapellc and
Mayence, protesting against the Ding
ley bill and urging retaliation. The Gov
ernment. however, will not yield to this
pressure, especially as 1t Is doubtful
whether the Reichstag will sanction
such a violent policy, the centre being
thus far non -commital, and the Liberals
Radicals and Socialists being opposed TO
any tariff war with The United States
This fact, however, adds fresh fuel to the
AgrarIan's keen hostility to the present
Cabinet, and especially to their hostli-
ty against Baron Marschall Won Bieber-
stein, and they are using their means
to hasten the fall Of the latter. though
the Emperor and Prince Hohenlohe sup
port him.
