to each others legislation. A uca citation. ,LoI,I

was substantially reduced to one point
ny The act OF July 1925 You had changed your colo
n' system! IN matter most intimately connected with
that point. We we're hcatt:ly ready 10 meet van. iI
readiness was unanimously avowcd on the Go6r f The
Senate, and of this aYcwai YOU had cornisapce. I'm
heoiaey on the rising of Congress- instructions were
gwen 10 Mr tfaatn 10 meet Won oC the ONLY remain
ing points OF difference, and the very day of his ar

more than sufficiently debated

every sentence in your long letter. You have ac,,d

Galatins

the seemingly candid part, is ilat which does YOU the
!east credit II hetrays, your part, an Intention
more or less apparent in the whole despatch to Lrse
from the British uatcn The rea! state OF tie facts aud 10
lead them to think that the United States assrr,e an
unreasonable ground, which you know they do not
assume.
After repeating :'thc common places abopt co,,,,o,,
nfa'' laws, language" &c which always at hand
to oe quoted, when blow aimed at us, YOU add
"hu, has never yet been hell duty International
amy Cany than OF friendship in pyiva t. lel 70 sub

renee against such duty that nation any more ,Ean an
individually should decline 10 make s,rch nc,,,,,.

diSlinct assurance, that, IN consideration of the i'm
gotant concessions OF the act OF July G2 the Uni.sd
Slatea would Waive The Only remaining poiG Of serious
difference.
Ye, you allow yourself to talk OF The existence Of
some "known subject Of incurab;o i:erance of on;,
this question. ''
Hon incurable difference Of opinion is as imaginary.
as your unal,eraha 'daerr,inaonn to sdhero 70 tie
I"Ionial system vas tranSiory. That una!tsrable
q TN NNlCvN
iafi9n vas suspended, TIE 28ti July 1895, was
revoked by your act OF Euly s. Ie25. You ha8 cvory
reason OF probability in addition to the LANGUAGE Of tho
Gsoata N The Senaie OF The United States and of Mr.
Gaat!ns assurance, to believe and 10 knoy that the
ncuTaoe difference Of opinion had followed the fate Of
the unaiterabe determination to al early crave.
ne position OF your argument on all these points Is
rendered sti more embarrassing by the fact that lone
aEer TIE date Of your act Of JAW a25 long after tho
period when as you nov say, you had resolved m Sub
sttnte legislation fer negotiation you had furnished
