GERMAN COMMERCIAL POLICY.

The German Government goes on with its
tariff BILL inspired if not dictated by the Agra
rians and Junkers. apparently in expectation OF
enacting it into law. 1t may indeed enact it
as a basis which 10 negotiate those CONNER
cial treaties upon which the Emperor has so
strongly set his heart. For other nations than
the United States have learned the value of
high tariff in trade diplomacy. sort of
commercial capital from which to grant con
cessions in return for favors received. Oppo-
stion to it is strong. however and may succeed
in forcing posponement of it until after the
coming general elections.
The ideas which animate the government in
urging this measure are set forth in recent
issue of the Cologne Gazette the utteranceS
of which are always important and often Off
cially authoritative. That journal defends the
action of the National Liberals in joining the
Agrarans in support of the new tariff, although
it admits the measure is calculated to benefit
agriculturists perhaps at the expense of other
classes. ''Agriculturists must be sustained it
argues because their virility is now needed
more than ever before for the great tasks
| (which lie before Germany in her world policy"
Evidently it believes that
A bold peasantry. their countrys pride
When destroyed can never he supplied
and so the new tariff is meant to protect the
peasantry from destruction. The "Gazette'
admits that Germany's industrial and CONNER
cial supremacy is to be won and maintained, if
at all. by hard struggles against natural disad-
vantages Productive conditions in Germany
1t says, are not by any means the best in the
world. Goal and iron do not lie close to each
other. as they do in America" 1t also deplores
and condemns the blind policy of the Agrarians
in opposing the construction Of inland water
ways. contrasting it with the vast development
of transportation facilities in the United States
agriculture must for some years be protected
and assisted at the expense of the industrial
classes.
The Cologne Gazette then makes it clear
that the United States is held in view more
than any other country in framing the new
tariff. 1t says:
Now, as have to treat America as our
ingly unwillingly, to form customs tariff
above every other consideration that it will
be an efficient and suitable weapon for us in
settling our commercial political accounts with
that country. The United States levies 81
per cent-2J0OOOOOO marks-on the 439 600 600
These 2J0O00O00 marks react on the wage
scale. Now, II we do not follow the American n
example, and if we fail to protect our home
market. the Amecicans Will have a poor oninion
OF German smartness and business tact
Whether want to not America simply
compels us to adopt repressipe measures against
Its aims to conquer the world market.
Right or wrong. such are the opinions held
by leading German publicists and statesmen.

EHE POLICE AND EXCISE LEGISLATION.

HHE POLICE AND EXCISE LEGTSLATT
Whatever may he the defects of our present
sxcise law, there is not the slightest reason to
doubt that the coming city administration can
deal effectively with police corruption. Colonel
Partridge is right in saying: "Blackmail can
--be eradicated. but il cannot be done in twenty
t'four bours. 1t will require little time, but it
s'can he done" Possibly he is trifie too san
cuine in the view: -'An that the men in the de-
apartment require is the assurance that as long
s'as they do their full duty they will be re-
s'warded.'' There are hundreds of honest men
who would thus find the chance TO do their duty
all that was necessary, but it is TO be feared
that there are also some men in the department
who would practise extortion and blackmail on
rliefr own account unless strict measures were
taken to prevent them. 1t was with such men
I'm mind that Mr.. Roosevelt. wherr Police Com
missioner began the extremely strict enforce
,nent of the Sunday laws He felt that all the
chances of blackmail which lurlled in unen-
forced laws must be cut off from the police, and
that as a moral tonic they r"eded to be taught
The impossibility of any compromise with viola
fion of the letter of law
This policy had good effect on the police, but
its effect was less good on portion of the
community which was more concerned TO pur-
sue its own habits in peace than to be offered as
a sacrifice to police reform At present the pre-
vailing opinion seems 10 be that this part of the
community as we'll as the police must have con-
sideration hence the talk of amending the ex-
else law that popular wants may be met
without police laxity- If che law is not
amended and the liberty of a cosmopolitan
population is left more or less TO police dis
cretion will it be possible TO break up black
mailing as a system? Colonel Partridge did this
in Brooklyn twenty years age under Mayor
Low. There was no complaint of 'blue laws
rnder him: on the other hand, some extremists
thought the administration too tender of the
beer interests; but the police discipline such
that the liberty allowed was not habitually or
fiacrantly made the excuse for extortion. The
assurance now Of the man commonly spoken OF
as the probable head Of the Police Department
that blackmaiIing can be eradicated by disci-
milne is therefore entitled to hopeful consid-
Grafton
Doubtless some changes in the excise law
would make the discipline easier Of enforcement.

Some of our French friends over sea complain
that Paris is now the most expensive city in the

tries delight to visit the gayest and most artistic
of capitals in larger numbers every year.
