A tariff war between America and
Russia may cost America many mill

will OF Russia, which in past emer-

Tho traditional friendship that has
existed between the United States and
Russia is an assurance that ili-feeling
will not be engendered between the
peoples on account Of commercial
rivalry. When the revolutionary war
broke out Russia was quick to send
aid to the struggling fleets. When the
civil war was on and hostilities were
threatened with England on account OF
the arrest OF Mason and Slidell. Russia
did another friendly act that for u
genuine spirit has never been SUI

making a hostile demonstration. AL
though its departure from England was
shrouded in solemn secrecy as to des-
tination. it had hardly been anchored

Russian feet sailed In and took up a
