Tbo now French tariff con tains a striking feature heretofore unnoticed. This is the clause which gives the- president and cabinet full power to retaliate to as great an extent as they choose upon articles ex ported to France by any country which dis criminates against French products or In any way erects barriers against French trade. This Is obviously modeled to meet the Amer ican meat Inspection bill and Is intended as a French answer to that measure. The general - oral tone of the French press continues hos tile to the adoption of retaliatory measures against the United States. Tnir papers urge that mutual concessions bo made by Franco and the United States. They seem to imagine that if the French gov ernment makes considerable coocossions It may pain a reduction of the American duties on silks and woolen goods. The Journal de.s Debats says that Sir Charles Tuppor and Hector Fabro will bo charged by the govern ment of Canada to negotiate a special treaty of commerce with Franco.
