The people In the United States VINO are
interested in our immense animal industry
and especially our multiplied hog products
are confronted with further hostile action
by TIE German government that may be
dsastrcusly felt over here soon.
The asrarian party IN Germany repre-
senting the largo lind owners and pro-
ducers appear to be In such position that
they can almost dictate action by the i'm
perial government and by the reichstag.
Already The imposltors upon American
meats and animal products are being felt
here aud are also causing suffering among
the German masses, but stlp further reg
ulation. practically amounting to prohibit
ton of our exports, Is in contemplation.
And yet this Nation is only being paid
back In some of its own high protective
coin. so to speak. This application OF the
principle In Germany, however, Is the more
striking illustration OF the Injustice OF a
protective policy because the domestic re-
sources there, when shut out from the bal.
ance OF tho world. are not so great as ours.
But 1t is the same old principle and the
results OF It's operation speak eloquently
against its adoption anywhere.
Berlin dispatches continue to announce
that the successful contention for protec-
ton is producing scarcity OF meats to
such an extert that horses and even dogs
are being slaughtered for food! Prices are
now 20 per cent above those OF last year.
But what matters It to the agrarians that
thousands go without meat, or that other
thousands eat amy kind of animal food, 50
long as they can secure the monopoly OF a
are thereby enabled to charge exorbit-
ant prices for their products?
We see the sans spirit In this country
ard we see the government controlled by Il
just as In Germany. Many Americans are
compelled to do without many things, or "a
pay extravagant prices for others, becaus,
the general public Is taxed for the special
benefit Or ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the few. We
may not feel the burden 80 heavily as the
people OF Germany feel theirs, but the OPP
preston exists In Il pronounced degree all
the same.
This protective policy. whether Ia Ger
many or America, causes suffering amonp
the masses and unjustly enrlches the few a,
the expense OF the many There is talk Of
retaliation here against the Germans, but
this would only make bad matter worse
The better plan wouli be reciprocity
