IongYear High School at Burkeville

call for help. The people took this OBJ
legation upon themselves because they
realized the need of such n building and
they knew the financial condition of the

to build as nice and imposing a struc-
ture as they desired The gratitude of
iposterity is due them, especially when
we consider that d number OF those who
have given SO literally have no children
and can derive no personal benefit from
it,

TARIFF and FRANCE.
She Nay Make Reciprocity Agree
ment, as Germany Did.

Washington. May 2S.-The satisfactory compile
ton of tariff arrangements with Germany has
caused preparations TO he made to consider the
case of France. So far is known the recent de-
cision that n tariff commission would serve use
full purpose remains unchanged. The reason for
this decision that the negotiations with France
gone far beyond the commission stage and
have, IT is said. resulted in the drafting of a
treaty. But this treaty come to nothing with
out action by Congress- and the French govern
ment is believed be unwilling await this.
Instead France is willing, it is believed TO follow
the example set by Germany and endeaVor TO Sc
cure whatever advantages open under a
reciprocity agreement drawn under Section OF
the Dingley act.
OF the few commodities named in that section
upon which the American government may grant
reductions of duty, only remains available a
basis for negotiations namely, sparkling wines and
champagnes 1t is for the State Department
TO determine what shall be demanded quid pro
quo for % per cent cut in the champagne duties
This concession made TO German champagnes,
but as the total amount of Importation of them
trihing and the loss of revenue insignificant
II is held that the not parallel, for the
French champagne imports last year aggregated
more than 100000 Therefore, to anything
like an equivalent concession. America, it is held
should secure a considerable addition to the pres
ent limited list of articles of American origin upon
which the French government grants the minimum
tariff
One of the factors that will enter into the French
negotiations If thew are begun is the action of tha
United States Treasury Department in ma king the
amendments 10 the customs regulations required
by the German agreement. These changes
ers, but II may be noted that they cannot be con-
fined in their operation TO any one nation. and are
equally with Germany so far that part of the
arrangements Is concerned.
