The high tariffs in France are producing some results unexpected to protectionists. A firm In the East of France recently announced that to preserve their export trade with Switzerland.they were about to open a branch manufactory in Alsace, so that their goods would be delivered at lower rates of duty. The Decauville Company are about to take a similar step. A circular issued states that in consequence of the recent modification in the rules for the admission of foreign materials for manufacture in bond, they are unable to compete abroad with foreign houses. They are now about to establish works at Val Saint Lambert, near Liege, by which they will be able to make a reduction of 20 per cent. on orders for foreign countries and the colonies.
