once More Tariff Revision.

Europe will probably change the
tune that the standpatters are singing
over tariff matters. Germany has al
ready created d discord by announcing
the abrogation of the commercial
treaty of 1900.
Early last month the administration
was given to understand that Germany
would like to enter negotiations for a
reciprocal treaty with q view To help

nations or course with the anti-tarin
reform majority in both the senate and
the house there was not much encOur-
agement given. and the kaiser's cabi-
net has finally taken the bit III ITS
teeth, and will not protect this coun-
try against favored nations The
latter are the nations which have en-
tered into treaties of reciprocity. Ger
many has a new tariff act and has con
cluded seven conventions with seven
different powers. big and little.
The concessions obtained from the
American nations were slight and not
on as liberal a scale as desired. The
next thing was to propose and Ameri-
can-German commercial convention
which by reason of the anti-tariff re
form sentiment was turned down.
March. 1906, the new tariff goes into
effect in the realm of Emperor William
and the tariff enacted on American
goods will he much higher than on
SHIPMENTS from countries than have
entered into reciprocal agreements.

Perhaps this will cause some OF the
old stalwarts in the house and the sen
ate TO give up the fight against tariff

careful watchers for the impending
battle. Admiral Dewey would hardly
be influenced by his sympathies, were
they pro-Japanese, in rendering a pro,
fessional opinion, or even privately.
The estimate recalls those cOmpari-
sons made by European critics between
the navy of the United States and
Spain.
From the viewpoint OF the calcuiat-
ing strategist ashore, Spain had the
superior tonnage and armament. We
know the result. If Admiral Dewey Is
