OUR GERMAN TRADE
Arrangements Made Under the
 DiagIsy Law
The Concessions Made by the United States Win Greatly Increase In tsrehsnge of Commodities Neat Exporters Will Be Benefited.

Washington. July is.-The new com
 mercial arrangement with Gerrf any
 under the reciprocitx clause ef sh,
 Dingley law will be officially promnl-
 gated as soon as !, Ixs zasss the sig nature os President Mckinley. The concessions sraa.ecRso the limited
 States are important in one respect. They insure to this country the benefits of the conventional tariff which Is granted 10 other nations with whom Germany Is cn friendly commercial re iattcns. The difference between the conventional duties and those with the imperial government Is authorized to levy in certain eases runs through many items of the tsrin schedules and win have marked effect upon the trade between the two euntrtes IL Is declared by representatives of the German government that the trade of the United States will profit by $s. .Ooo co under the new arrangement
 The concessions made by the United States were set forth in detail in the Dingiey act. They fixed the duties on srgols from Germany at 5 per cent ad valorem; brandies or other distilled spirits. SIS per proof gallon: cham psgne and other sparkling wines. ia quart bottles. fs per dozen: stnl wines and vermuth. In casks. Ss cents per gal long. and paintings ,n oil or water col orS. paStels. pen and ink drawings and Statuary. IS per cent sd valorem.
 The arrangement made Is under the third section of the Dingley law. and Is within the complete discretion of the president, under the restrictions as to articles and rates which have been get forth in regard to importations from abroad into the United States The president has authority without limit "s time as to making this class of ar engagements and they dc not require :he ratification of the senate The new ar rangeuHent wtu take effect as soon as hy the state department. and Is likely to be welcomed by the im- porters of German products and Icy those who export meats and food pro duets to Germany.
 The latter classes of articles will profit especially by getting rid of some
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1900-07-19

of the eSacting and discriminating duties which have heretofore been levied or threatened. The German inn perial government hIs shown dispo- Sition to make these arrangements whenever substantial advantages couid bc obtained by So doing for German trade. The arrangement made with Russia in 1884. embodying the same principles. set forth in detail certain special privileges connected with th" new tsriff arrangements and some of ;hcse features are likely tO be repro ,duced in the arrangement with the United States The Raf<isR treaty was nailed with great enthusiasm ln both countries. and was expected Co ststna late materially the cordial relations ee- tween them. The arrangement between the United states and Italy which Is now before the Italian parliament. IS of similar character.
