MONEY VALUES IN GERMANY.

HOW THEY WORK.

Mr. G. G. Desmond, writes to the Daily News from Berlin:---

The great difference in money values that is giving our Protect- ionists in England cold shiver, naturally works just the other way in Germany To her it gives a lordly protection. if only the interfering democratic Govern- ment would allow the law of the market to have free play.

The cry of everyone who has something to sell is: "Away with Zwangswirtshaft" that is, away with all the interferences with the law of supply and demand which helped us through the blockade, but now prevent Imany an honest man from getting This profit! Surely, when the

wicked or lucky foreigner is get- | ting a hundred marks for twenty marks' worth of rye or bacon, the honest German farmer ought to be allowed to make more than the paliry forty or so that the Food Controller says is enough.

Only they don't put it that way. Those who know the species in England can easily guess how they do put it. They say that the removal of the fixed prices would ensure a larger quantity of wares coming forward, and thus improve the supply available to the people.. It would in fact

steady the market." "Some of them go so far." says a comment- ator, as to say that things will come fcheaper into the market if the restrictions are removed." "If that is true," says none other than Herr Sehmidt, the Minister for Commerce," then the Govern- ment is committing no slight) crime by holding to the trade restrictions."

NOTICE.

Tyres Made with a Determination to Make Them Good

You will find this spirit animating the workman bending over his ma- chine the inspector keenly vigilant for fault or Raw-the floor foreman checking the work as it leaves his department.

You will find it evidenced in the long list of Goodyear contribu- tions to the tyre business-contribu- tions in machines, in methods of manufacture, in factory and sales practice.

You will find it expressed clear- est in the Goedy car Tyre itself.

For the efort spent the en- deavours for improvement made, the scruple exercised to make these, tyres good, have had effect.

Goodyear Tyres really deliver great mileage at smail cost.

There is a certain way to prove

it. if you are dubious-by fitting them to your motor car. You will

be surprised at the result.

Unfortunately for the potato growers and the breadstuff mer- chants who are agitating fur the freeing of their respective com- modities from trade restrictions, some others have got the freedom these are king for: it has not cheapened prices. Fish, for example, was recently made free. whereupon the price of herrings immediately soared from one mark apiece to two-and-a-half. and other lines in proportion. Still, fish are not corn. Well, the example of cats is available. The free oat is apparently enjoying a lusty market at 1,300 marks a ton, while rye, in the fancied interest of the consumer, is bound to a paltry 600 marks. Naturally the farmer and the merchant are willing to sell cats, and refüse with all their might to sell rye, feeding it. in fact, to their stock instead of oats. So the Govern- ment has to buy rye meal off the foreigner for 4,400 marks-a ton. and set it to the German con- sumer for something like one- seventh of that price. It is the patriotic German farmer who ought to do that lucrative selling, and be would be doing so, if the brutal Government did not prevent the consumer from pay- ing what he is asked for his daily bread.

There is virtually a strike of the corn-sellers against the State and against the consumer. The Government has offered them an early threshing premium of no less than 150 marks a ton. They laugh at it. They are out for a thousand at least in other words, for the right to sell at import prices, valata difference and all Their representatives are "ne-a profit directly out of the gotiating" with the Government, misfortunes of his country.
