GERMANY HAS
A NEW TARIFF
New Schedules Discriminate
Against Goods Made in
This Country
INJURIOUS TO AMERICAN TRADE

Washington. May 9.-Consul Cen
eral Mason. at Berlin, in a report to
the state department on the disas-
trous effects upon American trade with
Germany involved in the new German
tariff law which is to take effect next
March. urges the preparation of "a
new, broad and carefully drawn treaty
of amity and commerce which shall
promote a normal and increased reci-
procal trade, while conserving and
protecting the true interests Of both
nations"
The consul general. commenting on
some effects of the new rates. cites
the schedule on dried apples, pears,
peaches and apricots. as to which he
says:
Under the new autonomous sched-
ule all these goQ1s will be dutiable at
S23S per 22O4 pounds. while exports
from Italy. Roumania. Austrla-Hun-
gary and Servia (the European coun-
tries which notably produce a surplus
of these dried fruits) will come in un-
der a uniform duty of % cents per
220.4 pounds, an advantage of SLAB
in favor OF the treaty favored product
Under the new tariff all fresh apples
in barrels. which under the present
tariff are admitted free Of duty. will
be dutiable at S2.3S per 220.4 pounds.
except those coming from Italy. Bel
gium, Servia, Roumania, Switzerland,
the duty on which will be sl.19, or half
that imposed by the autonomous tariff.
"The decisive advantage Of S2.S5 per
22O.4 pounds duty on sewing machines,
as compared with the autonomous rate
Of 1888. is granted only in the treaty
with Switzerland. which ought thereby
to find an important outlet for its sur
plus machines in Germany. Importers
of shoes from Italy. Switzerland, Bel
gium and Austro- Hungary will have an
advantage of $500 and s714 per 2204C
pounds in medium and fine shoes. re-
spectively. over importers of similar
goods from the United States"
Mr.. Mason. however, thinks this duty
ought not to be fatal to the American
shoe trade in Germany.
Mr.. Mason adds that public opinion
in Germany is sharply divided on th'
question whether the most favored ma
ton clause of the American-GermaI
treaty will be allowed TO continue afte
the new commercial treaties become ef
fective The commercial and industria
classes generally, he says, are opposel
to a drastic policy, which might Leaf
to reprisals and increase Of cost o
bread
The state department is daily receiv
ing protests from large American bust
ness houses against the new Germa
tariff rates, which they claim win de
stroy their German export trade.
