". All this would naturally result in Il
consolidation Of American intcrcsts-anin In
crease Of American power and influence,
both ut home aud abroad. At present,
Great Britain and Francc cxcrt more inf1u-
cncc in the Government. Of Central and
Sout|, America than the United 6tatca-
Our diplomacy with tho utter governments
is frequently embarrassed thereby, and
threatening complications often result te-
tween ourselves and the former in consc~
qucncc. The proposed treaty of rcciproci-
ty would change Ill this and add noa little
to tho security and peace Of the whole
Western Hemisphere. .-';
Y. The beneficial results thus far consia-
e7cd areall incidental twill be admitted,
however, that they involve interests Of vast
moment, and would outweigh very many
and great positive and direct disadvantages,
could any such flow from the proposed
policy. But there arc immediate and d.
rect as well as incidental and indirect nd
yantaccs 10 he looked for. The chief Of
these is the impulse that would be given
to the production and tie commerce Of this
country. In the case of Cuba alone, the
balance Of trade is now against us 10 the
extent Of nearly sao0o0,ooo annually.
Spain Discriminate against our brcadstutls,
our meat, our fish, our manufactures, our
ships. She holds the monopoly Of these
things, and sells them 10 her subjects in
Cuba and Porto Rico at prices fur in aG-
vance Of what we can afford them at a
handsome profit. We buy her sugars,
her tobacco, her coffee and her tropical
| fruits, selling her very little Of our
| products, for the reason named, and
pay the large balance against us in
money. Under the proposed system Of re-
ciprocity, the balance would be quite as
large against Cuba. Spain would un-
doubtedly dislike to lose 80 profitable cus-
toner; but for the sake Of having her fears
Of the violent seizure Of that Island
:.llayed, she would doubtless consent to re-
ciprocity with her tropical possessions. We
have taken Cuba as an example merely. It
! is not contcndcd that our commerce would
bc increased in the same proportion with
all the other countries. alluded 10; but in
some Of them it would, md in the others
The increase would be lnrgc
We hare thus given only a lew Of The

can system which VIC hope 10 see inaugura-

great brcvity. Intelligent readers will have
