SPANISH TARIFF AND NAVIGATION LAW.
DIFFERRN fIAL DUTIES.

While Brent Britain and every other cieLised
mustry ham been removing the eleareotioes to maimerolal
istermarse, by reduction of custom, duties and relezation of
their navigation lam, Spain has been proceeding in an up.
rats ditecti in. until hit fiscal and aminerci.l systems pre.
leant a state of things more fitted for the hie 'arias middle
ages then the present condition of smisty and internatisnal
comma. enormously high import duties on mod
artielecpf foreign production, the duty oa salt fish, an ankle
of gieseial and most extensive C3oBllolPfloo, la subjected to
an import duty amounting to nearly 150 per cent. on its first
east.
The high differential duties levied upon ship not bearing
dm Spanish flag is, however, the mwi objectionable part of
bee toonseeciel system.
With a view of steuriogthemonopoly of the whole of her
barite tied* hi her own se living, Spain teens on all goods
imported in other ships hifforeatial duties to suth an amount
u to form a prohilisvos to any other hot Spanish ships
carrying goods to Spain, but more especially balky articles
such sa fish, & t.
Were the elf..ets of this Delilah and illiberal policy limited
to Spain herself, other governments might pietism be jus-
tified in kaviog her alone to the corsequenc.s of It, lamely
the itspovenstiog of her people by the enhanmment of the
met of • chief article of *air food and ether necessaries,
while her navigstioa is thereby decreased and deteriorated,
and her moms' revenue rends red buten, inivmuch as ace
cot of her establishment in prevent soluigling, swallows up
he whale amount of the duties tainted, and the smugglers
alone moat by is.
But the commercial policy of Spain is highly injurious to
ether countries; and in particular to llaish trade and
British shipping.
In consequence of the h'ilt differential duties compatiion
la the care-pop trick to Spanish ports is dietroyed. A
British shipewase could not obtain for his mewl a cargo on
fish, or of gouty other stacks, for Spain even were he to
awry it foe nothicg, banium the cargo would he subject to so
much higher a duty than if imported in a Spanish vessel as
to amount t i more than the Spanish ',reel. freight.
Hen*, the numbs:it sending the cargo is restricted to a
Spanish mewl. Seth a used, in many instances, is
not procurable at all ; and, whop proonrabl., can
seldom be hired for less than doutile, and frequently
treble, the &moon% of freight which would satisfy a
British shipowner or master. The length of time which
Spanish vessels will remit* in port hailing rather than
sail with lees than a full cargo—the want of skill and trier.
prim* tovigatim of the Spaniards, • Spanish vessel gene-
rally rempying double the time to mike a v iyage which a
Bntisti-navigated vessel would requite—the higher rats of
premium of inearance comer guently rageited by uneerwriters
on the cargo—all operate u serious impediments to the trade
and aseigation of other countries.
Spain lea been permitted to continue the levying of these
differential duties on British vessels for upwards iv 25 years,
and has recently cicsider ibly increased teem. During the
whole of that pen 4 Spanish vessels have b !en permitted to
import cargoes into this kingdom at the some duties as paid
by British vessels. It is sorely time that some measures
should be taken to compel Spa* to adopt a more equitable
course of commercial p lacy.
Toe act of lost union for the repeal of the navigation law
plates in the hands of the "emotive Reversal -gat the Dower
of doing so, by levying suer countervidirg duties in the
putts of the United Kingdom as may be found memory to
place the shipe of this country in a post ion to compete lately
wish those of Spain.
