Not Free Trade Measure.
THE new law. OF course, is very far

Through tricky manipulation OF
customs regulations. importers may
again be confronted with obstacles
not contemplated by the law itself,

The Berliner- Morgen Post says:
The law puts Americas trade re-
latiOns with the rest of the world on a
new basis. Our Industries can count
certainly on an increased market. Elk

of our American trade now depends
chiefly upon the attitude Of the GUS
toms authorities in regard to the i'm
portant administrative measures.

journal OF the big manufacturing dis
triCt In Central Bavaria, says:
The Old World Is justified in en-
tertaining lively hopes OF extending
its commercial activities abroad. II
is inevitable Germans should regard
this softening Of the rigors Of ex-

professed to be skeptical as to the
sincerity OF the effort to reform the
tariff says:
The downfall of the American high
tariff system is an event worthy to be
placed by the side of the greatest
events in the history Of the United
States. One would never have be-
lieved that the stubborn resistance
with which this reform was opposed
for half a century would be overcome
How far foreign industry is justified
in expecting an increase OF trade is a
question. The new tariff. however, Is
an achievement which in any event Is
worthy of a special chapter In the An
nails Of Dollarland."
The Boersen Zeitung says: the
high tariff system has fallen. Now l.
will be the first duty OF all countries
interested in development of their
American trade to direct their atten-

ports to the States"

now afforded for the German exporter
to get a firm foothoId on American
soil is most alluring."
