German Parliament shows Dispo'

CerTnor. Parliament Shows "a Dispo-
sitfon tu Icse1t Discrimination.
The recent tariff law passed by the
German reichstag establishes maxi

law authorizes the minister of finance
to negotiate commercial treaties ex-
tending the minimum rate Of duty to
those nations that make no discrimina-
tons against Germany and admit Ger
man products on such terms as are
satisfactory to the minister of finance.
70 all other countries the maximum
rate, which is practically prohibitory
is made applicable If we grant by
commercial treaty special favors to
other nations, such as are proposed in
ihc adoption of the Cuban and French
trsaties, for instance, we will place
ourselves in q situation where the Ger
man government will apply her higher
rates of duty to all our products.
The bill is framed as a club to hold

We are now on the verge of tariff

pemocratic Hopelessness.

The mysterious popularity of Judge
Parker of this state as prospective
presidential candidate is the visible
emblem of Democratic hopelessness
and dissension. An empty honor is to
be bestowed on barren record, if not
an empty name. We have called him
the Democratic John Doe, and the
phrase is good enough. How much the
party fears even to take up its old
shiboleth, free trade, is evidenced by
the Chicago speech of the astute Ed
ward NJ. Shepard. He decries ''a gen.
eral revision of the tariff" admits "the
widespread popular belief in protec-
tion" and would confine the Democrat
ic attack to ''the few schedules in
which. through such practical monopo-
iy, vast fortunes have been made."-
