Several committees reported on bills and the senate adjourned.When the house met there was a lively scene when Mr. Watson ((Ja.) rose to a question of privilege and in a severe manner denounced a correspondent of tike Atlanta Constitution for a letter lately published, criticising his (Watson's) vote on the Craig-Stewart election contest. He asserted that the correspondent was the clerk of the s]>eaker, who attacked him on personal grounds. The house then, in the committee of the whole, considered tho-District of Columbia bill. The bill was Anally passed, and the bill allowing railroads to give special rates to commercial travelers considered until adjournment.

Mr. Stanford introduced a bill directing the purchase of silver bullion and its coinage. The pure food bill then ciime up and Mr. Vest addressed the senate In favor of proper inspection but by the states.

A motjon to take a recess until eight o’clock resulted in a vote of 84 to 85 and the point of no quorum was raised.

Now that tlio president has pro claimed the new reciprocity treaty with Germany in all its details, there is sufficient material at hand to fairly estimate its value. In consideration for the free entry Into the United States of raw sugar grown in Germany, the imports of which in 1891 amounted to $1*^891,689, this treaty admits free or at reduced rates the following list of articles To show the. reductions made we give the old duties and t ie value of the various products affected which were exported to Germany in 1891: Articles O it n as i! »!

were under marks respe parted to Germany $91,domestic merchandise. Of dy $6,545,311, or 7 14 pep cent, insisted of articles affected by the iew treaty. The only articles which were formerly subject to duty but are free are bed feathers, anise, caraly and cumin seeds, bark for tanning ind oleomargari||e and similar oily substadces. The duties on wheat and flour, which the old law 5 and 10.50 respectively, are now 3.50 and 7.30 marks The old duties were nearly prohibitive under ordinary conditions. Since equal reductions are made on w heat and flour imported from AustriaHungary, the advantages which the latter have over the United States on account of her close proximity to Germany will give hep the bulk of the trade. This applies equally to rye and oats. Under these circumstances, we, cannot expect to materially increase our exports of these products to Germany. / To say nothing of the du#es imposed, the character of odr barley, malt and bops h such as in the past, wo will export none of these products to Germany. In fact, Germany, besides supplying her own markets, is a large importer of these articles to Great^ritaiu and other countries. > The emtfl reduction made in the duties *fh sawed lumber and tim'oer I*8gp&d otherwise than by hewing wUfii&ve very little favorable effect on tifcx exports The only reduction made Co the duty on live animals is that upon but our exports of oxen camr.ct be large, since last year only $445.ftVO of all kinds of cattle were' exported to Germany.

On the whole, there tors, the red no* tions in duty on less than $9,545,817 Of our products, in consideration for las free admission of over $111891,000 of German sugar Into the United Stosojb are not as large as Oujfhfc to be maaa The German government waadoubtMj* informed that the feeling prevail* among the people of the United Kates against the reimpositloil of the duty on i sugar was so strong that our gdveroe,. ment would not attempt, it, and, accordingly, granted the slight reductions noted above. In view of the heavily increased duties imposed |»y the Mo* Kinley hill upon German products, which in the cose of woolens, hosiery, cottons and linens frequently ranged 50@ 100 per cent it was useless to ex* pect any great concessions from that power. Mr. Blaine was, therefore, forced to accept what he could get In other words, so far as Germany is eon* cerned, the “reciprocity club" was not effectually wielded by the United States. The list of articles prohibited in tha proclamation of the president includes many things on which no change in the duty has been made Thus raw flax, bran, horsehair, agricultural produota n. O p., raw hides, charcoal and wool are free Of duty without regard to the Country from which they are imported. Similarly cheese, frOite and nuts, buek* wheat, bacon and all live animals, except oxen, are dutiable at the same rate l when imported from the United States as when imported from other countries ( The only reason conceiva ble for tncladding these products in the ‘ ‘reciprocity* treaty was doubtless to create a favorable impression here by a large showing. This is nothing but “buncombe,’* pure and simple The failure on tha part of Mr. Blaine to secure a more favorable treaty was not his f jralt^^ Ha^ has been hampered bf the limitations imposed by the “reciprocity” act. This latest example of Its work shows, as has often been asserted in these columns, that as a means for increasing our trade abroad the reciprocity law is a failure.

Who r»ya the Tariff? Those believers in a high protective tariff whose aim they say is to com* pel foreigners to pay our tariffs declarethat tariffs do not raise prices. It will be weft for them to turn their eyes to- t ward France. On the fliratof February the ne vv French tariff went into operation. The duties were raised on all foreign products, especially those coming from the United States, in retaliation for the McKinley bill What has been the effect? This brief dispatch from Paris tells the story: “Paris, Feb. 4. —Prices are rising rapidly as a result of the new tariff. Pork and mutton have advanced two pence per pound. Italian and Dutch cheese; has risen 100 per cent and foreign soap 300 per cent The extra cost to workmen for necessaries of life is estimated” at one franc daily.” Our exporters are not aware that they are paying the duties, in fact they don’t know what the duties are. But the French laborers realize now what it is to live under protective tariff which dees not help hut hurts them. An increase in. the “cost of the necessaries of life of one franc daily” is the tribute which they pay to highly protected monopolies. Here is food for reflection ^ for those who have been deluded kite” the belief that the foreign manufacturer, not the home consumer, payB the tariff tax __-1 How Reciprocity Discriminates. The total exports of the United States to Great Britain and Ireland during the 1 ast fleal year amounted in value to $441,599,817. This is $80,000,000 less than the value of the exports to Great Britain and Ireland in 188 L' Yet this country’s exports last year to the United Kingdom amounted in value to more than its exports to all the world besides While throwing every tariff obstacle in the way of this great trafe, the brilliant policy of the administration .is to bully or beg commercial favors from countries which, in the, nature of things, pan have little or no trade with the United States It is considered a stroke to obstruct commerce with . Great Britain and Ireland, whose peo/ pie draw upwards of fifty per oent^f the exports of the United States, 'and to negotiate a treaty of reciprocity with Venezuela, whose imports ffom this country amount to one-haljt'of one per cent of its total export trade. The McKinley organtr' made a great cackle over a reeijjpbcity treaty with Brazil, when the Exports of the United , States to all Sleuth America, Central America and^the West Indies .combined do not equsf in value the exports to Germany, against whose trade with this country the McKinley tariff wages a malignant war. —Philadelphia Record.
