Id other words, where foreign na- tfawa are. disposed to accept trade with America-on the baa is of tbe edrnini tretiv tariff bill, soon to be enacted, the statute will not be elastic, but will stand a passed. But where nations prohibit, by excessive taxea, goods pro duced ia this country, tbe president may retaliate by the Simple issuance of ft proclamation adding 26 par eent sdvalorem to everything coming Into American port from such restrictive nationa. Tbe bill alms particularly at France. The French neople, as well aa she Gar- mane, but the latter to a leea obnoxioo extent, fearful of the progreas of the American manufacturer, have been rataing item alter item, so it wa ex plained today, until now American goods are almost prohibited from en Ur ine- French and German territories.
