HE GERMANS SHOULD
TAUGHT A LESSON.
TIL e

Des Moines Capitalize German
government has formally notified the
United States of America of the term
nation of an existing treaty fixing
mutual tariff rates on certain articles.
By arrangements heretofore made a
number of German articles We're adj
mltted into the United States at a low
rate of duty and in return Germany
granted to the United States the rates
on certain other articles equal to any
concession to any other government.
Now Germany announces that she
wants better arrangement or she
Will quit dealing with us except that
We pay an increased duty.
There is some indication that the
state department will stand pat and
tell Germany to proceed in her own
way.
American freight and passengers are
enriching German steamship compan-
les every year. There could be scarce
ly German ship on the sea were 1t
not for the American dollars paid to
the companies owning such ships.
German steamship companies receive
ed this year $15,000,000 for bringing
immigrants to the United States.
Therefore the conduct of Germany is
an insult to common fairness and JUS
tlce and our state department ought
to give the German government some
plain language.
In Germany there are guides and
commercial organizations which pay
export bounties to enable German
manufacturers to unload cheap, goods
into the United States. There is an
export bounty paid on coal shipped
out of Germany. German iron and
steel makers receive a bounty on their
exports. And it Is almost German
rule to sell everything abroad cheaper
than at home. Manufacturers are bet
ter organized in Germany than in any
other country on the globe. The Ger
man coke syndicate sells to the iron
companies In Austria blast furnace
coke for s1.97 per ton. while the price
at $4.o4 per ton. The steel girder
syndicate fills orders from abroad at
Spills to $21.S9 per ton while maintain
ing a home rate of $2S.56 per ton
Steel rails made in Germany are sold
at 81 per ton cheaper abroad than at
home. The wire mills sell their pro-
duct abroad at $25 per ton and at
home at $3.50 per ton.
These facts are stated in the official
report Of Frank H. Mason, consul gen
eral Of the United States, dated at
Berlin, Germany, September 81. 1902.
If Germany pays bounties for ex-
ports to cause the sale Of her goods
away from home, and if Germany is
paid millions of American dollars for
freight and passengers on her ships
the state department OF the United
States and the senate ought to be able
to give Germany some plain Language
at the present time.
What Is needed in the United States
is strol @er determination to stand by
our own country and teach the Ger
mans an important lesson.

woman to labor. in behalf of person
condemned of base crime, be that

It is true that the chivalry that is
Unborn in man prompts him to pro-
test against the execution of Mrs. Rog-
ers, but it is also true that the law,
following the Biblical injunction, Thou
shalt not KILL" makes the crime of
murder punishable by death Whether
the murderer be man or woman,
matters not in the eye of the law, and
the law should govern in case where
guilt is so clear as it is in the case of
Mrs. Rogers.

the agitation for change in the date

meaning a sheet that turned its back

relief in attacking the personal

Too Many Bees.


Deacon Slater of the Press is a
Bee culturist, otherwise known as
apiarist. He was raised where bees
grew as big as snow birds, and can
eat more honey than a ring tailed
coon.
Last week, some time, he heard a
suspicious buzzing sound in the top
of his woodshed, the same being
lined with paper, and that covered
with what they call buriap. A
swarm of bees had evidently broke
loose from Grams or Judge Ash, as
they are the only ones that keep
bees around this country.
So Slater cut a hole in'the ceiling,
put a box up in the garnet, smeared
it all over with comb honey, and
laid low. After a day or two be
asked Grams to investigate and see
if the swarm was doing well. Grams
took one look and made a quick re.
port. 1t was to the effect that:
you've got the biggest bunch OF
yellow-belly hornets in the attic
that aver came to the Black Hills
Record.
