Why Do the Germans Kick?

What in the world are the German people kicking against the grain duties for? Don't they know that these duties are paid by the foreigners who ship grain into Germany? Don’t they know that the higher the duties the cheaper the grain? Have they never read McKinley’s treatisas on taxation? If they fear a grain famine they should ask the Government to increase the duties on grain, and thus cheapen it, ra'her than to repeal them. Their present action is cal-

culated to make Str. McKinley appeal ridiculous when he tells the Ohio folks that a tariff is not a tax.— lndianapolis Sentinel.
