PERPLfXINC CLASSIFICATION,
By Teleeraph-Presa Association-Copyright '■■'■.' (R«c. April 5, .10.45.p.m.) ' , Paris, April 5. The-new French tariff-, lias come into force. It invests the French Goveriiniout with retaliatory powers in cases of undue discrimination by other countries. ■•■' .'; t i .' ". ■ Tho general opinion is that Britain has .been' treated as leniently as possible.' The chief feature of the tariff is the number of new classifications directed against Germany,' but indirectly affecting Britain. The vexatious-minuteness of the new classifications will probably' bo more harmful to • trade • than . the higher duties. Thus, steel wire, in addition to paying duty according to weight and gauge, is required to pay'according to capacity for carrying electricity:' British textiles escape comparatively lightly, but the increase on Sheffield goods totals £200,000 per annum. ' .'M. Klptz, President of the Customs Commission, declares that the tariff will put millions and millions of francs into tho pockets of the French working classes'. ■■' ■'•' ■ .' ■■•-■■■
