EFFECTIVE RETALIATION.
How to Punish German Hostility, to
American Food Products-in-
ferier Quality of Imports.

The near prospect of a commercial
controversy between the United States
Germany is indicated in Washington
| dispatch. us follows:
During the winter the administration pur-
poses 10 take steps retaliating against Ger
many for discriminating against American
pork. Prof. Wiley, OF the agricultural de-
partment. Ii now conducting an investiga-
ton for the benefit OF the president. and
has gone TO New York for the purpose or
securing samples OF German wines and
other products. which Will undergo n close
scrutiny TO find ground for excluding them
from this country
American products have been harassed
In 80 many ways that IL has become un-
profitable 10 export them TO Germany
The president already has power To act
on his own responsibility, and the data arc
now being collected on which to base
grounds for excluding German products
which are found to be impure and adui-
terated
To retaliate by barring out German
wines on the score OF adulteration and
impurity would be n righteous stroke
OF policy In many ways. IL would pro-
tect the human stomach against the
deleterious effects of the doctored and
tinkered stuff that comes here In large
quantities under German labels. 1t
would also have tendency 10 turn the
attention OF wine drinkers toward the
wholly honest and generally superior
wines now being so successfully pro-
duced in the United States. In the first
case the interests OF health would be
promoted and in the second n direct
pecuniary benefit would follow, for IL
is an undisputed fact that American
wines sell In our market at consider
ably lower price than foreign wines Of
relatively the same grade and quality.
As a matter OF actual fact the cheaper
American wine Is much the better arti-
Gle.
There is at hand, however, much
more effective weapon against Ger
many than the exclusion OF her sour
and worthless wines. IL our govern
ment wants TO infict upon Germany
the heaviest possible blow in retaliation
for unfair discrimination against
American food stuffs, congress has only
10 pass a law levying n heavy tonnage
tax upon all German vessels, and at
the same time impose discriminating
duty upon imports brought 20 this
country in German vessels. The Ger
man government cares far more for
the American money paid to German
ship owners than for any other prod
uct which Germany sends us. Once
let the president give the years no.
tice required by law for the abroga-
ton OF our existing maritime reci-
procity treaty with Germany. and the
American hog will very quickly get a
fair deal In Germany. In such con-
test the weight Of weapons would be
on our side.
