r.r,n Reduction by treaty.

The goods imported from Germany
are virtually under the new agreement
allowed to enter at the value certified
by the German Chambers of Commerce.
THUS the duty on German goods is less
than that exacted upon the products of
other countries, which are subject to
an ad valorem rate Of duty. because
the lower the value = III imports
are appraised the less .uty. Until
we allow France, England and other
countries the same favor it can hardly
be called a square deal. The Manufac-
turers' Association and the stand-pat-
tiers object to this agreement with Ger
many because it thus reduces the rate
of duty in this roundabout way.-Sa-
