Tho pres ent Arlt shh cattle embargo is against Annn Callnn in similarly n. Pure of prohibitive protectionism under Tho Guise of an enactment to save Holt Ash herds from contagion. Sonca Tho lowering of Tho German prohibition of Tho United states hogs there has been for a time a German Boycott of dried fruits preserved meats and some other food products from the United 9tatcs on the pretext of their Undy jul enc what is now threat u open Tariff warfare without any masked batteries. It is Tho agrarian parly that is forcing the hand of the German government in this matter just As it is Tho cattle Rall no interest. In great Britain which Litas to upon the maintenance of Tho embargo against Canadian cattle. Tho agrarian party in Germany views. With great dissatisfaction the volume of Ionn Nti imports from Tho United 8tate-Ijn cereals meats hams Bacons and dried canned and preserved of Oil and would Homo to the of the in the main it has been Tho com Mercial treaty of 1s2s Between the United states and Prussia under the terms of which Trade relations be tween the two countries have developed. With the exceptions noted above. Tho principle of that which. Broadly speak Lar is Tho most favored nation principle has been ostensibly lived up to on both sides. Tho Glrst formal breach was made by the United states through reciprocity treaties made with other countries Tho benefits of which though to Ger Many they were not of great practical United states by the enforcement of this new Tariff which Germany is brandishing against our neighbors to Tho South. Aside from raw Cotton the United states exports less than it buys from that Empire. Ger Many sold Tho United states More than Worth of goods in 1904. Moat of them consisting of finished products. Moreover Germany s loss would be distributed among numerous comparatively Small industries therefore come closer people of that country 000.000 loss to the United states which it is estimated the new Tariff would cause it is figured would be borne by Tho beef Trust and 000.000 by the Standard Oil company. The difference in the character of the Commerce of the two countries la to some extent indicated by Tho fact that the United states bought Worth of Toya last year from Germany. The totals quoted above of United states exports to Germany Tiro Large but it must be remembered that practically one half of these exports con Sist of raw Cotton which Germany must have and which under Tho pro posed new Tariff or any other German Tariff will continue to enter Germany free. Tho total of exports of raw Nin of reals entering Germany free from Tho United states amounts to some . In this connection it is worthy of note that when Tho statistics of the exports of United states manufactures Are it is found that in comparison with the business done by Tho manufacturers of the re tilted states in their own Home mar Ket their exports Cut a surprisingly Small figure. It is figured out by one writer on to fade subjects Harold Bolce that a single Day s Commerce in the United states counting Only one handling of goods. Is to to valued at upwards of 560.000.000. Thus the Home Market say from Friday morning to hip Orenco wore denied to Germany j saturday noon Saya or. Bolo is by the Washington government. On Worth far More than All the United the , Germany after Mak ing a whole series of highly important reciprocity Russia aus Tria Hungary Italy Rou rna la Belgium. Taryla and a number of South and Central american coun tries admitted the United states to the benefits of these treaties without receiving any equivalent whatever merely on the the old treaty of 1828 and its most favored clause. Tho statement just made requires however to be modified by mention of Tho fact that there have been a few special agreements Between Germany and Tho United states. The most important of the so was Tho agree ment of 1000, by virtue of which Ger Many withdrew All her objections to Tho pork and other meats of Tho United states and the United states admitted German on favourable terms. Germany s policy of making reciprocity treaties dates from 1891. In sup port of Tho German Contention that this policy has Given the United states a great advantage. In the German mar Ket without any quid pro quo in Tho shape of reduced duties on German goods entering the United states the Trade statistics of the two countries Are appealed to. Iso i Tho exports from Tho United states to Germany amounted to by 1900 they amounted to and constituted 17 per cent of Germany s foreign Trade. In Tho same period though Germany s total exports increased by 85 per cent her exports to the United states increased Only from 357.000.000 Marks to 439.000.000 Marks Tho tatter total being equal to about since 1900 things have. On in the same course although German exports to the United states have slightly in creased. A special source of German dissatisfaction in this connection is thus Sot Forth by a leading German co Nolc writer. Wolf von Schler Brand. In the current review of re views with Tho american exporter though unaided by a special reciprocity treaty forcing his Way in to the great Dos advantage of Germany s comm Ercla treaty friends Germany does not form for the latter As valuable a Field of exploitation As it otherwise Germany s treaty terms with these countries suffer correspondingly. That indeed. Is the gravest detriment to Germany from her own Point of Germany now has n. Now Tariff Low upon her statute Book which has been framed for Tho purpose of facilitating the re Metal of lapsing reciprocity 1 treaties and also by Way of making ready for a Tariff War with the United states if necessary. The Date fixed for the going into effect of the new Tariff against the United states is March 1906 and before it goes into effect Germany must abrogate Tho treaty of 1828 with Tho United states which Sho has announced her intention of doing if no special reciprocity or other commercial treaty Between Tho United states Jond Germany in negotiated in the interval tha new tar Iff on United states products entering Germany will thus Como into operation in months. This new Tariff will increase very considerably the duties on cereals foodstuffs and on Many _ manufactures. In the Case of cereals the increase will to from 120 to 250 per cent., on co mod and preserved goods it will be from 60 to 380 per cent and in Tho Caso of manufactures in which tha United competes auth As lowing states commodities which Tho threat ened chinese High Tariff Wall would exclude from Germany in a year.

And on july 31 arc said to have Given a further Extension for i do not know How Long. Now the ques Tion i would like to Ink in is not this contrary to the provisions of Tho liquor License act or has any of the commissioners a mortgage on Tho rat Limoll hotel i Havo been a conservative All my use but cannot still remain one if they do not administer the Laws As they stand. If the Law is bad let them change u. I might say that i have looked through Tho three Winnipeg papers and have not seen any mention of this Extension. But Tho claims he Han it. If so Why is the news suppressed As for Tho alleged suppression of in news our correspondent is assured thai it did not take place no com missioners do let to jobs of this nature under compulsion of be they do not court publicity they do them in Tho dark and keep quiet about them. If the facts Are As alleged Thoro has been another serious infringement of Tho spirit of the License Law in Tho interests of Sellers of liquor Tho South Norfolk cart res if any Way in which the will of Tho people As expressed at the polls lust december car be overridden it will be resorted to by the commissioners.

I brought in with me u bundle of that wheat which can to scan in Tho free Presa office.

Samples from Tho same or other Fields similarly affected will be sent to the free probs later on. But Bisl Dea being Low and near Tho River thin land has been Over cropped and has also i suspect a. Gravelly or Handy subsoil which is quite As responsible. In my judgment for the partially filled Heads As Tho do Scanso itself. A starved crop is usually most liable to disease and to want Fuller evidence b on such a Case Ai Crno and Elm Straw spotted a not quite sound it is the True Bla serious Stirm Don fore to can dec do this. I saw at Tro Croell samples of Nittlo in Tho Stem and it the joints and if k rust there May to in the 15 to 20 Days tie Uso in going out bid the Devil Good re last year i found before most of wheat la flt to Cut. Anyway i see 11 of our Way to at Carman we bad cases of rust i could find no Trace of anything serious and Quito a Rich Promise of crop yield. Nearer this town wet and cold in the Spring has Radii Tho late and poorer. I have seen nothing of red rust but plenty of Tho old style yellow Leaf rust with streaks on the lower Aldo of the Leaf but not on the stalk. All observers agree with me that any injury to to looked for from of this source will be trifling there waa a very Sharp Thunder the prospects for peace. The arrival of Tho russian peace in in America synchronizes Nopar moly with a kind of cold fit both on this continent and in Europe concern ing the peace Outlook. This feeling has Jeen largely promoted by the inter views Witte himself has Given. Peo ple have fulled to Noto the of Loui fact that All Public talk by men in the position of Tho russian peace Plena la uttered with a dust inc purpose in View. If american or euro Pean opinion 13 Likely to have an effect on either Aldo in the thei it is natural that each Aldo will Endeavor to direct the forces of pull opinion in its own favor. The Rui Islai envoy s purpose is doubtless to got Ai easy terms is possible and to is no Likely to neglect anything that a Cuil contribute to that end. By appear ing Pesserl Styc himself concerning the outcome of the conference Hobo Able to increase Tho pressure upon Japan to be moderate in her_deman6f to look for a moment at the Matte from Tho other Point of View and t assume that Witto was handing out to Tho news agencies optimistic Inte views in which to declared that Peac was absolutely assured is to show a the diplomatic Absurdity of such a position. His present attitude is th3 Only one he can in fact assume ii is bound to assert irrespective what the facts May to that his Royal master is prepared to continue Ali i struggle indefinitely if the japanese terms Aro not it is not at All improbable that at Portsmouth Tho russian envoy May to extremes in the efforts to reduce the Victor s demands. When for peace Between France and Lei u third of a Century ago Tilers finally forced Bismarck to lower his demand for a Cash indemnity from 91 -200.000.000 to by dramatic ally rising to Hon feet and with deep emotion telling the prussian to go ahead and Rule France by spread in j his armies Over every foot of it. Bit Merck abated his demands and it la possible that Wutte can make Baroi Komura come Down a Point or to Here and there. After All this Mak ing of Public which is but diplomatic fact remains that the argument of peace is very Strong. Japan is in t position to dicta to terms and Russia is entirely aware of it and of the Furi ther fact that delay will Only Mako the terms More onerous. A conference in which Tho plenipotentiaries meet with these postulates granted is More than Likely to result in peace than if a prolongation of the War. A contemporary shown a disposition to defend the exhibition from cer Tass criticisms passed in these columns. Perhaps it would to More accurate to say a disposition to apolo Gize for the shortcomings of the exhibition. The Freu press does not intend to engage in controversy on thl subject its thousands of readers who visited Tho fair can judge for them selves whether or not it was justified in its remarks. That there Aro reason i for the defects is no doubt True but it does not follow that they Aro Irre movable. The Cut Lens of Winnipeg Are so deeply interested in Tho exhibition that if the Case la put before Thorn they will do whatever in necessary to Maku Tho excl Altio what it ought to be a close second to Toronto s big fair. Some of thet Sug rented improvements can be made at next to no Cost but the whole scheme of the exhibition should to thoroughly overhauled and modern led before pc storm on thursday night when i wan at Hartney and n heavy downpour of rain but i saw very Little of the Grain Laid Down by it.

Campbell Bannermon is ii tit cd to a certain Dee that taunt. In recalling the free press crop reports continued from Ptg a Ono province and its Weed inspection sys tem. I refer to this District and Iti big crop of thistles mainly because of the rapid increase of settlement aft around it. Once thistles arc allowed to Ripen their seed no Power on Earth can prevent that seed from travelling with every wind that blows. I look upon negligence in checking thistles As an economic crime against Tho country at Large and if i am mistaken i want some one hotter informed to put me right. In Happy contrast to.
