France and Great Britain, though other
States are likely to join in the move
ment. Among the others Austria
Hungary is almost certain to be one.
In fact, the Austrian minister for for
eign affairs was the first to make an
open declaration that such combina-
ton would have to be formed, which
he did not long after the passage of
the Dingley bill.
Mr.. Kasson does not hesitate to say
that this hostile movement has been
provoked by the all but prohibitory
provisions of that bill, coupled with
the refusal of the Senate to ratify the
treaties which he has negotiated in ae-
cordance with its reciprocity provis-
ions.
He is reported to have said bluntly
that within four years our protective
system will be overthrown unless Con-
gress proceeds at an early day to nit
igate the irritating features or to see
that reciprocal treaties are ratified.
Every treaty of any importance that
Mr.. Kasson has negotiated has been
pigeonholed by the committee on for
eign relations, with the result that the
governments and peoples OF the coun-
tries named have become intensely hos
taliation now that we are sending
them manufactured products in great
and increasing quantities.
Mr.. Kasson hears it alleged by rep
resentatives of different countries that
some of their important industries
have been greatly injured by the prac-
tically prohibltory duties of the Ding
ley law and ne finds himself unable TO
deny the allegation. He is therefore
in no position to complain of such
things as the German meat inspection
law or of any combination which may
be formed for the purpose Of making
reprisals.
And it appears that hostile combina-
tion is not altogether an anticipation
and possible bugaboo, but in some
measure an accomplished fact. Infor-
nation has reached Washington that
the Russian and Prussian railways
operating under government subsidies
nave entered into compact to dis
crtminate against American rails. loco
, motives and machinery.
Since this discrimination is nominally
by corporations and not by govern
ments we cannot invoke the most
favored nation clause of treaties in
this case. But there is more than a
suspicion that governments are at the
bottom Of it, and therefore it is strongly
suggestive of what we may expect when
the commercial treaties expire in 1903
and there will be no longer be a most
favored nation" clause to invoke. and
european governments may do what
they Will Inrescrained by treaty obli-
cations.

Danger of "a General Tariff War.
Chicago Chronicle.
A note of warning has been sounded
from a high official quarter that the
vast export trade upon which the Re-
publican leaders have been felicitating
themselves and the country is liable to
sustain a disastrous check if our gov
eminent persists in refusing to permit
the people to take merchandise in ex-
change for the merchandise they sell
TO foreigners.
The note is sounded by no less a per-
son than the Honorable John A. Kas-
son, special commissioner designated
by President Mckinley to negotiate re-
ciprocal trade arrangements with other
countries under the provisions of the
Dingley law.
Mr.. Kasson's official duties bring
him into such relations with the rep
resentatives of other countries that he
is able to speak with no little author
ity on this subject, and this, in SUBJ
stance, is what he says:
He has been informed of a purpose
on the part of some of the great Eu-
ropean powers to take concerted action
hostile to our export trade. Special
mention is made OF Germany. Russia.

THE ISTHNTAN CANAL.

The publication Of the news that this
government has succeeded in obtain
ing canal treaties and concessions
from the governments of Nicaragua,
Costa RIGA and Colombia, covering
both the Panama and Nicaragua canal
routes, has brought forth two addi-
tional and interesting facts One is
that the Panama route has lately
grown in favor, and the other is that
an American syndicate, of which J.
Pierpont Morgan is one of the leading
spirits, has obtained control of the
French company which succeeded to
the old DeLesseps corporation, own
ing and controlling the Panama ven
ture. The last fact suggests the reas-
on for the first.
There never was necessity for two
canals through the isthmus, and prob
ably never will be. The Panama peo-
pie were first on the ground, vast
sum has been expended in and about
that ditch, and roughly stated it is
one-third completed. If a canal is to
be cut at ALL aside from any interest
which Mr.. Morgan and his friends may
have, it would appear to be the part
of business wisdom to go on and
finish a work one-third completed, and
which affords a shorter route, than to
abandon that work and undertake
another, very much longer as to line,
and necessarily, if finished, in
volving corresponding delays to
traffic. The money necessary
to make the proposed Mica
ragua canal navigable would finish
the Panama ditch, and would obtain
better result, from several points of
view. The probabilities are decidedly
that ultimately the southern route will
be chosen, and there can be little doubt
but that it would be the best of the
two ideas for all practical purposes.
