The news which comes from Eu
rope of the formation of a central
European customs leagues, by Ger
many, Austria, Hungary, Italy add
Switzerland, the principal object, of
which will be to retaliate upon the
United States for the McKinley ta-
aiff law, cannot be surprising to close
observers of the science of political
economy. Nations are like Individ
uali: if you injure one he will not
rest until the Injury has been repaid
wit! interest. The loss of the trade
of these five countries would be lit
tie .short of a calamity to the United
States, and the people ot this coun
try should see that a change Is made
in our tariff laws before irreparable
damage is done to our European
trade, the bulk of which is in agri
cultural products.
