in sealed packages and credited proper
tionally among the members of Congress.
Upon the receipt OF slips duly addressed

them are sent out by the department OF
agriculture until their quotas are ex
hausted. In order, therefore, to secure a
share in the distribution. application

November show the exports to have
been over $50, 900, 600, an increase of
more than S5,000,000 over October,
and over Sc, 900 in excess of those
of November of 1895. The increase
over November, 1895, is $1,000, 900,
and November, 1894, $4,000, 900.
The exports for October of the pres
ent year fell short few hundred

ports, but Novembers figures have

The last European nation to take a
place in the line of applicants for a
reciprocity treaty with the United
States is Germany, the country which
made bluff when the Dingley tariff
bill was pending that was promptly
"called" by Congress and President
Mckinley. The clause of the tariff
that brought Germany's pride down
to asking for reciprocity is that which
imposes additional duty upon sugar
brought from countries that pay an
export bounty on sugar. When the
German ambassador requested that
reciprocity negotiations be opened,
he was informed that his government
must take the first step by agreeing
to remove the restrictions now i'm
posed upon American cattle and beef
imported into Germany.
