himself to those "Who would not

resentative Lacey, Of Iowa, took occa-
sion during the debate on the Indian
appropriation bill today. to express
himself on the subject Of the German
tariff. He took the position emphat-
ically, that the United States could not
afford to sacrifice her commerce with
Great Britain, in order to win the Ger
man markets by tariff concessions.
He illustrated this by figures showing
how little we sell to Germany in COM
parison to Great Britain, and how lit
tie we sell to Great Britain in COM
parison with our home market.
Eighty per cent of the products
of our farms, he said, find market
at home. He reviewed the conditions

THE workingman's business in '94, :"
he said, could not be classed as a

the planter of the south are enjoying
better conditions than at any time In
