PLANNING TO RETALIATE.
Argentine Republic Does Not Like the New Tariff's Law.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—Argentine at last has taken steps to retaliate upon the United States for supposed discrimination in the new tariff. A cablegram was received at the state department tody from United States Minister Buchanan at Buenos Ayres, reading as follows:
"Argentine tariff for next year has been sent to the Argentine congress. Argentine president recommends, in view of the United States tariff the following increased duty:
Sixty-six per cent on yellow pine, 125 per cent on farm wagons, 100 per cent on plows, harrows, kerosene and agricultural machinery, not specifically mentioned.
"Also recommends maximum and minimum clause, acording to what the president can apply at will, 50 per cent duty in addition to the regular duty. Am writing fully in regard to the situation."
