Commercial Retaliation.
It is to be hoped that the president oil
the United States will never be torccdl
to have recourse to the sweeping power
the law made in 1800 gives him over
the products of foreign nations import-
ing goods into this country. When Ger

urged Mr. Cleveland to make use of his
extraordinary power at once. but he’wns
wise enough not to do it. Agatowhcnu
Spain began to discriminate agauinet
American dour the president was surged
to issue a proclamation which would
have stirred up a great breeze, but
again it was decided to let Spain; have
time to see the error of her ways.
The power in question is containeullin
the congressional meat andfood inspec-
tion not passed by congress Aug. 3‘0,
1800. The act recites that whenever‘tlhe'
president of the United States is satia-
ficd that any foreign gamernmcnt is

to prevent any country of Europe from
discriminating against our precincts.
We could sound doing without their
goods much better than they would:
