Difference Of Opinion In the Diet - to Best
Form Of Assistance.

Berlin. Jan. 15.-During the discussion
of the estimates in the Diet. today. the
question Of the protection Of Prussian ag-
riculture figured prominently The opin-
ion was expressed that the depression liz
agriculture was at the bottom of the pres
ent financial and commercial difficulties
and that the proposed tariff bill did not
meet the situation adequately.
The minister of finance, Baron Won
Rheinbaben. promised to urge the protec-
ton of agricuturalists with the greatest
energy. but the House must not insist
on a departure from the lines laid down
by the federal governments in the tariff
bill
Herr Richter the Radical leader. re-
marked that as the chancellor. Count
Won BueIow, had capitulated to the
Rightists in regard to the canal BILL was
he not equally likely TO capitulate IN re-
spect to the tariff bill?
Count Won Buelow took exception to the
remarks Of Herr Richter and said h
wished the House to understand that the
government was solidly behind the state
ment made by the minister of finance.
Personally" said Count Won Buelow, II
am willing to lender all possible aid to
agriculture, but an extreme agrarian pol
Icy now would be as harmful to the inter-
csts of the country as would a purely free
trade policy
The chancellor urged all those interest
ed in the support of national industry to
confine their efforts within the bounds of
practical legislation.

IL towers high above all the buildings

one, and knots Of people staring up at

More persons pass the junction Of
broadway. Fifth avenue and Twenty

point in New York. 1t is right here
that this wonderful building stands.
Because of its peculiar shape, it has
come to be popularity known as "the

cover an entire block. They are 200
feet long. The rear OF the building is
eighty-five feet wide. The height of

on the same lines as steel battle ship.

considerably more than $2,OOO,OOO.
