AMERICAN AND FRsHcH TRADE We find in our
Hberations Of Congress, which although Of ancient
date ought not to be passed without notice in Franco
for they especially concern our interest. We have
already mentioned the readiness with which the Sscre

estimating the ad valorem duties those French pro-
auctions in favor Ct which the National Assembly had
voted prime fsrpouatton the amount OF this pre-

written from Paris to the Secretary of tia Treasury,

suggesting the expedency of reducing the duties on

European crisis, and thus giving practic proof Of
patty for the French republic in ,ts hour Of sur
ftriDg. The letter was communicated to several
American statesmen and It's suggestion brought
before the House of Representatives. In the form of
legislative proposition by Mr.. Charles j. Inssrsol,
democrat, and seconded by MIR Holmes, whg The
rules were suspep ded and the discu acsd;
but the chairman of the committee OF ways aud
made objections TO any changes 10 the tariff iuasmuch

.boud be laid upon the table and this finally voted
by 80 to IS.
During the discussion Mr. McLane proposed a. an
sme ndment, q" that from and after the 4.h OF JULY
1913 all duties levied by existing laws on articles i'm
ported from the republic Of France. the gro~th and
manufacture Of said republic into the United States,
be and the same are hereby repesled provided that
the duties levied In France American productions
