FRENCH MAKING
: NEW TARIFF LAW
If Passed the Measure Will
Have Injurious Effect Upon
the American Trade.
PRESENT RATES RAISED
BILL ESPECIALLY LOADED FOR
BENEFIT OF UNCLE SAM.

Washington, March 2i.-The attention
Of American manufacturers will not for
the next few months be entirely focused
upon the proposed tariff revision of this
country. France proposes to revise its
tariff and in the changes TO be made
the United States i'm vitality interested.
If the proposed French tariff bill
should be enacted into law in its pres
ent shape American trade would be
injuriously affected.
Contrary TO the usual custom, the
measure had its origin i'm the tariff
committee Of the French chamber Of
deputies, and the attitude of the govern
ment toward it, therefore. has not for
mally been defined in parliament. The
probabilities are, however, that the bill
viii undergo a number of changes be-
fore it finally is enacted into law,
which, it is expected, viii be about the
first part OF next year.
Some interesting facts in regard to
the new measure are CLEANED from a
compilation entitled Proposed New
Customs Tariff of France" prepared by
\. I. Stone, tariff expert Of the depart
ment of commerce and labor the OBJ
ject of which is t. indicate the pro-
posed changes of tariff rates on goods
which the United States either exports
TO France or could export under favor
able conditions.

one should not be satisfied with giving
