If Germany persists In her determina tion to SDDly her maximum tariff against American esports, and tha United States retailers by Imposing a auuaua tanri tt per cent higher than tha prssent tariff on German imports, the question arises as to which nation will suffer tha moat. In tha fiscal year ending on tha thirtieth of last June ha value of German prod ucts Imported Into the United States waa Ill8,8,t61 while that of American products exported to Germany was I1H- UO. 471, which Includes t2.M9.lt of artlolas of foreign production- sold to Germany. From these figures It would seem at first sight aa if the United States would bo hardest hit. If ths policy of retaliation wea-Aa ha niirsiied, As a mattHt-flt-fact. the figures ara quite deceptive. Included in tha t total , of American exporte to Germany are some actlalea that tna Gar . min nenttia niat hnr fmm in. raw-ma terial absolutely- necessary iot - wew t matuifaoturea. Chief among tneaa is raw cotton, of which Germany . in tha last fiscal rear took from tha United States X.006,g3a,Ml pounds, worth 87,39t06t. This raw maUrlal can. obviously, ba removed from consideration, , for Germany must have It. and In increasing quantities, aa her manufacture ot textiles grows. Ths German cotton : manufacturers cannot purchase an. adequate supper eisewnere than In the United States, despite ths cotton production of JSgypt and India and tha energstie efforts that are making to grow cotton ta larga quantities In Ger many's African colonies. . Buoiraoung ins value of the cotton we send to Germany from tha total ef our exports to that country, the rematnlna- value Is tlM.B2a,- MS, or tll.43S.K7 less than the total .of German exports to the united latoa.

In , the fiscal year 1904 German exports to this country were about li.&uo.w more valuable than tn tha fiscal . year iiu. In tha fiscal year 1904 American exports to Germany were worth. tXt,14S,S7l more than those In ths fiscal year.
