DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY.
Arrangement May Involve Destruc
ton of Protective System.

AS the provisional arrangement
with Germany made about a year ago,
whereby importations into Germany
from the United States received the
benefit OF the minimum tariff. would
have expired next June. with the re-
suit OF exposing American merchan-
disc to the imposition OF a sur-tax and
possibly OF precipitating "A tariff war,
ii is gratifying to learn that Ambas-
sador Won Sternburg has been anthor-
lied by his government TO renew the
existing understanding for period
sufficiently extended to allow OF the
negotiation OF some permanent agree
ment The basis of the negotiation IS
to be furnished by the North commits
sion, which went to Berlin several
months ago to confer with the Ger
man tariff authorities and which lately
returned bringing with 1t report
whose contents have not yet been pub
licly disclosed. 1t is this report which
is embodied in the treaty which the
senate will be melted to ratify when
congress reassembles.
1t must be said that the problem
presented is one of extreme difficulty.
Germany has adopted tariff with
maximum and minimum schedules.
Countries which make concessions to
Germany in their customs duties get
the benefit of the latter, while TO all
others the former are applied. The
difference between the two is in many
respects very considerable. In some
things it is SO great as to exclude the
products of the non-favored country
from the German market and had the
discrimination been enforced against
the United States trade would have
been injuriously affected. Most Euro
pean countries have qualified for par
ticipation in the minimum rates by a
reciprocal reduction Of duty, but the
United States has thus far declined to
enter into any such arrangement and
the chances that ii will agree to do so
in the near future are not worth con-
sideling.
Reciprocity seems fair and looks
easy, but as soon AS the attempt is
made to apply the principle of il TO
practice insurmountabe difficulties
are encountered. We are asked 10 re-
duce the tariff rates on certain lines
OF German production. Why? OBJ
viously, in order that the German
producer may be enabled to sell his
product more largely in the American
market But If he does that it must
be at the expense of his American
competitor, because such articles as
this country does not produce are
nearly all on the free list. Thus the
proposition is that certain American
manufacturers shall be excluded from
the benefits of the protective system.
But that system must be for all or
none, SO that the idea of reciprocity
logically involves it's destruction. The
people who were sacrificed would
naturally go over to the other side.
Another thing: Concessions made
10 Germany in return for an abate-
ment in the tariff could hardly be re-
fused to Great Britain, which is our
best customer and which on most Of
our merchandise charges no duty
whatever. Ii will be seen that the
subject bristles with thorny points
