THE TARIFF.
A GERMAN OPINION. PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT Beotivod 10.20 p.m,, Cct. 1. Berlin, Oct. 1. Tho agrarian Anglophobo newspaper Deutsohe Tangis Zeitung, oommonting on statements regarding Gorman reprisals, published Australian remarks that tbe application of a general tariff on Canadian goods had little tffeot, as tho imports were small, but Australia’s exports to Germany were three-fold that of Germany to Australia. Germany aoeords most favored treatment to British colonies, but there is no obligation to do so, as tho Federal Council could, by a simple deoree, abolish the concession. Then Australian wheat and malt would be eubjeot to a general tariff, and the moment Australia imposes differential duties on German goods reprisals could take effech If Germany remains impassive and India introduces differential duties, then tbo bulk of Germany’s exports ta the oolonies would ba subjeoted to differential treatment. If Germany intends to act she ought not to wait until this extreme is reaohed.
