AMERICAN MEATS IN GERMANY

comments on the latest official statistics
of Germany's meat imports, for the first
nine months of the current year, showing
that the Importation of American pork
has more than doubled compared with
the imports of 1897. The Agrarian organs
insist that tariff provisions with the Uni
ted States ought to be framed to wholly
exclude American meat products from
Germany. They also bemOan the increas-
ing imports of American horses, which
were valued at S4143,0o0 marks in 1897,
and which have almost doubled this yea.
These papers also maintain that much
American horsefesh comes in the shape
of sausages. The Berlin Tagleblatt makes
this interesting admission: In German
commercial circles the conviction has long
become settled that the dangers arising
from American pork and the notorious
San Jose scale have been magnified. just
as years go by were the perilS of the
Colorado bug. We are therefore anxious
20 ascertain whether the renewed at
tempts of the American government to
convince the Agrarians and the German
government of the thoroughness of Amer
