Theee things she does not produce
and uses them IN her own manufac'
lures. she does not propose 20 shut
out the raw materials from her own
factories. There are stlll other like
items In hvr purchases from Va but
this only leaves about $4,000, 900 that
her new tarin will affect, which Ia
about ave per cent OF our exports.
ON the other hand u imports from
Germany have been mainly OF goods
IN competition with our own. OF her
imports from us sixty per cent were
or goods properly classed as raw ma
%terlals. Our imports from Germany
have been twenty-five per cent only
OF raw materials. II Germany insists
In charging the United States higher
tarlff duties than she does to other
countries IL may become necessary to
provide for such discrimination by an
additional duty TO be levied against
such country as discrimlnates against
the United States.
We are entitled TO equal treatment
from Germany. We have given her a
great carrying trade and have been
one Of her good customers. Last year
there were imported into the United
States In American ships goods of the
value Of $151, 545,512, but at the same
time we imported in German bottoms
$t42,t43,200 worth of goods. After
deducting the raw materials we
bought more competitive goods from
Germany last year than she bought
Of us.
The Square Deal.

Interstate Commerce.
There Is no declaration Of President

demand for equal opportunities in
