Suspect Driven Out of Richmond.

The police of Richmond, Va, are delighted
that>they have succeeded in driving Thomas
Ryan from the state. Ryan is suspected of
being a burglar. He is a giant in stature,
and a little more than year ago he was
seen acting suspiciously by Policeman KEEL
lum The officer undertook to arrest the
man and was given the fight of his life.
The fight attracted the attention of the SER
geant and the man was taken into custody
He declined to tell anything of himself and
the justice gave him "a year in Jail on gen.
eral principles.
He was released Sunday and escorted to
the city limits and told to leave, but he
went to Manchester, got very drunk and
returned Monday. saying the police had
no right TO order him to vacate. The chief
had him unprecedented and gave him until
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to leave. If
the man is caught again he will be given
another year in jail. The detectives think
that Ryan is a professional bank burglar,
and they tried hard to land him. He weighs
about ITO pounds. Is a man of stout build
and is given to drinking good deal. He
is thought to have headed for Washington.

Treaty Stipulations Ignored.

In the face of these facts and the formal
protests that were entered by the German
ambassador, the Fifty-third Congress pro-
ceeded to ignore the treaty stipulations and
the commercial interests of the United
States. without reflection and with no mo-
tive except to undo what Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Foster had done. The Senate and
House of Representatives were warned that
the commercial agreement entered into I'M
der the reciprocity provisions of the Nc
kinley act were solemn coupacts between
this and friendly nations, which should not
be carelessly set aside and could not be
terminated IN the way proposed without ma
ttonal dishonor. They Were reminded that
the government might properly ask permits
sion to withdraw from these compacts after
the customary formal notice and be re-
lteYed from its obligations. according to the
methods of civilized nations Such a pro-
cess would be a serious blow to the com
merce they had done so much to promote
and encourage, but would preserve the hon
or of the nation. But, in their impetuosity
to undo the work of Mr.. Blaine, Mr. Wilson
and his fellow tariff-reformers were deaf
to reason and renlonstrance.
Such an offense against prppriety and
justice, If committed by any individual or
corporation, would have been followed by
a suit for damages. and when committed
by one nation against another the usual
recourse is a declara ton of war or tariff
retaliation. The German government adopt

and sympathetic retaliation by nations
which were trying to get the trade for

products out of the markets of northern
Europe. Our exports of corn dropped from

White House Conferences.


The President and Secretary Root will
confer with Mr.. Aldrich. Mr.. Hale, Mr.
Ledge Mr.. Dalzell Mr.. Grosvenor and other
great statesmen who are in favor of reel
prccity in political platforms as a vote
getter, but are opposed to il in practice
Perhaps the recent election in Massa chu-
sets may have softened the heart of Mr.
Lodge, who, with Mr. Aldrich, has been the
chief INSTRUCTOR. Mr. Lodge says that he is
loyal to the republican party. He has writ
ten many a ringing reciprocity resolution
for adoption at republican conventions He
has always been in favor of the negotiation
of reciprocity treaties, but has never voted
for their ratification. The people of MaSSa-
chusettS have recently expressed an opin
ion on the subject, and he may be now will
ing to vote for a treaty with Germany. Mr.
Aldrich is likely to object because several
manufacturing industries in Rhode Island
will be subject to German competition.
The chief imports from Germany to be ar
fected by a reciprocity treaty are toys,
and plush goods, furs, feathers, artificial
flowers, several kinds of dress goods, knit
ted goods, cotton laces, edges and embroid-
cries earthen and china ware and finally,
beet sugar. Nearly all of these articles
touch the constituents of some republican
senator or representative, as in the case or
the reciprocity treaties with France and
other countries; and, as a rule, very few
members of the United States Senate or
House of Representatives are tall enough
to recognize the interests of the country
at large over the heads of their con-
stituents.

Reciprocity With Germany.

The reciprocity treaty with Germany was
the gnost~4Eaportant one negotiated during
the Harrison administration. 1t removed
the embargo that had been laid upon Amer
lean products ever since 1850, admitted free
some Of our breadstuffs and provisions, and
many more at greatly reduced rates of
duty. For twelve years the government of
the United States had been trying to ac-
complisG this by diplomatic negotiation, but
always failed until the adoption of the reci-
procity provisions in the Mckinley tariff
act. The arrangement was not sought by
the Germans, but by US, and they responded
with great reluctance because of the rapid
Increase of the agrarian movement in Ger
many, which demanded high protective du-
ties upon all agricultural imports. The re-
suit, however, was an immediate increase of
trade. Our exports of flour to Germany
jumped from S,S64 barrels In 1891, before
the treaty negotiated, to 2SG,329 bar
rels in 1894 when 1t was suddenly revoked
There was a similar increase in the exports
of wheat and other agricultural products, in
which we compete with Russia, Austria
Hungary, Roumanfa, Servia and other coun-
tries with which Germany has recently
adj n fraq

and the Dingley tariff law was enacted,
Mr.. John A. Kasson who had once been
amba ssador to Germany and was very in
fuential with that government, succeeded
in restoring amicable relations, and nego-
tated the agreement OF 1899 under which
we are now trading. Under it our exports
to Germany have grown from s92. O53, 753 in
1880 TO S21f, ISC $50 in 1904 and the trade is
in most prosperous condition
Our exports cover a wide range of arti-
cies, including breadstuffs, provisions, raw
materials and finished products The chief
export is cotton which represents about 40
per cent of the whole Next comes copper,
and following that corn, wheat, flour, pc
troieum. lard, bacon, hams, cotton seed oil,
fresh and dried fruits, lumber, tobacco,
agricultural implements machinery of all
kinds, leather, boots and shoes, sewing ma
chimes and all kinds of manufactured mer-
chandise

Our Trade That Will Suffer.

Whatever is done in the way of retalia-
ton Will not affect our exports of either
cotton or copper, because the German man
ufacturers must have them and cannot get
them anywhere else; but there are fifty or
sixty million dollars worth of farm prod
ucts and manufactured merchandise upon
which the duties will be raised so high that
they Will be prohibitiye. For example,
wheat from Russia, Hungary, Austria Rou-
mania and other countries will pay % cents
a kilo, while our wheat Will have to pay ~
cents; their flour will pay S1.55 per barrel,
Whlle ours will be compelled to pay II a.
barrel; their preserved meats will pay
$lSi kiIo, while ours will pay seas, and
the same difference in duties will be col
iected on almost every article we ship to
Germany. The increase will range from 81
TO 80 per cent upon the various articles
in the list
The Agrarian interests in Germany are
very much opposed to any concessions 20
the United States. They are in favor OF
shutting our goods out of the German mar
ket as much as possible. That party is
made up of the old, conservative land-hold-
ing clement, which never sympa thiZe

Germany's Proposition.


Under these circumstances 1t will not be
prudent for the German government to
make any further concessions without re-
celving full and fair compensation. This
makes Secretary Roots task the more diff
cult; nor can he make any promises of re-
lief. He can only beg the German govern
ment not to strike down our trade until
he has had chance to confer with the Sen
ate and find out what they are willing to
do lie Will not be SO indiscreet as to con-
clude treaty that will not be ratified.
Such mistake as that would provoke
tariff war at once With the most friendly
feelings toward the United States the Ger
man government has proposed a modus
Vivendi, or temporary arrangement, until
Congress can be consulted 1t cannot grant
the United States all of the concessions
given to the European countries with which
new treaties have been made, but is willing
to impose the minimum tariff rates upon
sufficient number of articles to equalize the
concessions now given her under the Kasson
agreement of 1860. The higher rates of duty
must however, be imposed upon the remain
ing articles in the list.
The President has full power to make this
arrangement, and will probably exercise it.
In the meantime the German government
proposes joint commission to investigate
and report upon the commercial relations
between the two countries with a view to a
permanent tariff arrangement. The Presi-
dent also has authority to accept that
proposition and may do SO.
