DISCUSSING THE NEW TARIFF


BERLIN, Sept. N-While the papers
have devoted much space this week to
the reports of the festivities in France
on the occasion of the czar's visit to that
country, the discussions on the subject
were few, and showed that Germany is
little concerned thereby. Confidence in
the cars peaceful intentions is so strong
here that the French wooing excites no
Jealousy. The newspapers, however, take
delight in pointing out that the czar used
The most measured language in replying
10 President Loubet, whose utterances
are here regarded as a disguised intima-
uon OF Frances thirst for rev ange on
Germany. All the czars utterances in
France are here understood as meaning
nc interference on the part of Russia in
the affairs of other nations, respect of the
existing frontiers and abandonment OF
ali plans of warlike adventure in behalf
OF France. The German papers repro
oCce with satisfaction the utterances of
M de CaSSagnac and other French chau-
vinists to the effect that the Franco
Russian alliance is devoid of any pract1-
cal advantage to France, and means her
final renunciation of the lost provinces
The czar's words, reasonable principles -
are here understood as a gentle hint to
France not to misinterpret the alliance
IN the direction of the recovery of Alsace-
Lorraine. Hence the German press con-
cludes that the czars visit does not
change the status quo, and that France
must be contented with the bloodIess vic
tories gained over Germany in winning
the cars favor.
TALKING TARIFF.
The tariff discussion grows warmer The
expressions of the chambers of commerce
against the bill are becoming more fre-
their attack chiefly against the system
OF maX1maI and minimal duties on grain
The conservatives advocate an extension
or the double system through the other
schedules. The Kreuz-Zeitung (Conserv-
atlve) points out that the DingIey act Of
fers model to follow by permitting a
20 per cent reduction of all duties for
reciprocity treaties
In this weeks tariff discussions the re-
cent speech of Herr Moeller the Prussian
minister OF commerce. played an impor-
tant part, particularly his admission of
the absolute necessity for a renewal of
the commercial treaties. Herr MoeIler's
speech, which is understood to have cx-
pressed the government views, threw
cold water upon the exaggerated Agrar-
ian hopes by insisting on a compromise
upon the duties midway between the ex-
tremes deman nded.
The Agrarian press has begun to attack
Herr Moeller violently for his speech and
also for his friendly attitude toward the
Boerse reform, clubbing him "Caprivi
Moeller."
The Elberfeld Chamber Of Commerce
has unanimously condemned the tariff
bill because of the "extraordinarv in
crease Of duties on the necessaries of
life.;
