WHAT JARS" THE RUSSIANS
Germans Capture All the Business and
Then Put Up the Tariff.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 27.-The pre-
vailing anti-German feeling in Russia
has greatly increased since the pro-
posed new German tariff has been
made public. In any case IL seems GER
tain that the Russian government will
shortly take steps TO prevent the i'm
migration of Germans into Russian
Poland. There are at present. accord
Ing to official figures, no fewer than
10000 foreigners in the province OF
Warsaw. of whom So per cent. are
Germans.
The numerous industrial establish
ments in the province of Warsaw are
now nearly all in the possession OF
Germans. AS the wealth of the rich
district of Warsaw is thus concen-
trated in the hands of Emperor Will
iams' subjects. il is easy to foresee
what would happen in the event of
Russo German war. The German"
problem i'm Poland is certainly not one
OF the least important which the Rus
sian government will be called upon
to solve in the near future.
The new German tariff bill is prac-
tically directed against Russia. The
importation of Russian wheat into
Germany was particularly disastrous
to the agrarians. BY excluding Rus
sian cereals Germany has undoubtedly
dealt n severe blow TO Russian agri-
culture. But. on the other hand, Ger.
man manufacturers will pay dearly foi
