W.4N1 MORE LTBEE7 r,

A circular addressed to all motor cyclists has been issued by committees of two New York clubs announcing the calling of a, meeting to be held on Sep tember seventh for the formation of a national organization to promote the in- terests of motor-cyclists. The gentle quality of the circular is indicated by the following extract from it: Tt is damnable in republican conn- try. in which all men are supposed to be free and equal that among other things one class of citizens should be singled out for special taxation-should be required to pay for the use of the public roads and to carry brand or tag attesting such discrimination. It is damnable that this class of citizens can- not freely pass from one State into another without fear of arrest because of such laws. To combat such measures ito insist that the highways are free to all alike, and that the right to use them is irrevocable, is one of the objects to be served by organization" %
 Some os those who have been scared to death or run over by the automaniacs think it Is pretty damnable in a repub- lican country that the highways have been used as they have been. Those who have motors must use them reason ably. If they do not they will probably be even more discriminated against than they have been,

PROTECTION THAr PROTECTS.

This country is pretty we'll protected, and Germany is making progress in protection. Consul 'Guenther, of Frankfort, shows that the German Meat-Inspection law, which took effect April of this year, has been very effi- caeious in excluding American meat products. Fresh meat imports declined in the two months ended May S1, 1903, to 2,13S tons, against 4,160 tons in the like two months of the previous year. Of prepared meat the importations de- clined from 1852 tons to 1900 tons. Sausages and canned meats are totally excluded. Lard has fallen from 17,141 tons to 1O.19O tons; fresh beef, from g. 15O tons to 1.1s2 tons; fresh pork from 1888 tons to 9S6 tons: hams and bacon, from 2.s75 tons to s5S tons. The busi- ness is being killed by enormous inspec- ton fees. in addition to ordinary du- ties. ~ Il
 Of course this is all wrong for the Germans and for us too. It ought to be so that this country could have full protection and also all the markets of the world.
