TARIFF WAR IMPENDING.
A Crisis In the Attitude of the Pro.
tectlonists.

Less than three months remain be-
fore the German maximum tariff rate

will again extend the time. We know
that conferences are being held In
Washington between Secretary Root
and Mr.. North, director of the cen

sion to Germany to try and patch up
an agreement, and now Baron Won
Sternburg, the German ambassador,
has been called into the conference,
so matters must be coming to a eli
max. Il Is announced that 1T has
been made plain to Secretary Root
that owing to internal political condi'
tiorB IN Germany the government of
that country cannot renew the order
now in effect extending to American
products the benefits of the mini.
mum tariff rates" But probably some
other basis will be found for new
agreement, as II Is evident that Ger
many has nearly as much to lose as
we have by shutting out our meat
and breadstuffs. the prices OF which
are abnormally higher in the Ger
man empire. When congress meets
next December the stand.pat leaders
may be as stiff necked as the Ger
man protectlonists in trying to pro-
hlblt importations, and then will
come the tug Of war. Either we must
reduce our tariff rates on enough ar
tlcles to make Il desirable for Ger
many to allow us her minimum tariff
.ates or minimum rates must be
adopted, and the present rates would
be our maximum rates. The plan of
the stand.patters to make the present
rates the minimum and add rs per
cent. for maximum rates would force
Germany and other countries to put
In effect their maximum rates. When
the Republican national convention
meets next year 1t will be compelled
to take action and the usual glitter
ing generalities will have to be laid
aside for more explicit declarations.

the German manufacturers can reduce
their output at pleasure, 1t would
seem that the United States, II the

public care should suddenly and without cause
have lent their circulation to reckless gossip
concerning affairs OF the gravest character. OF

responsible newspapers which would gleefully
announce the assassination of the President in
one edition and forget all about it in another an

doing what they could to produce that state or

doing in the face of overwhelming circumstan
