finerirs- The proposed contracts are for two or
three years. during which term whatever profits
they choose 70 surrender. must OF course be sub
mitted 70. But after their expiration We see no
reason why they may not reap the entire hene-
fits arising from the treaty. san Francisco l.
not the only port that will call for our sugar,
but Portland, New York. Boston and Philadcl-
phia will he open 10 US. and thither large ship
ments can and VIII be made, although the
distance j. much greater.
Our correspondent next asks =. in what way
the natives. mechanics. small farmers and work
ing men are TO lie benefited by this treaty." In
several ways. First. Nv an increased impetus to
the sugar manufacture. which viii call for more
laborer-. mechanics and working men, in every
branch Of the trades which are connected with
the business. Not only will the mills now in
Operation lee driven 10 their utmost capacity. call
ing for more help. hut there will be new plantations
started on every Island. For these. more laborers
will &c needed 20 till the ground. cultivate the
cane and work in the mills, while bl~ack>miths.
w~heelwrights, carpenters, nasons, sugar boilers,
engineers and other tradesmen will all he in more
active demand. and of course obtain higher wages.
In the second place, the removal of the ten per
cent. duty will allow the necessarics of life To he
imported at ten Der cent. less cost. Lumber can
then be sold for ten dollars less ON every hun
dred dollars imported flour which now costs the
importer seven dollars n barrel can be sold at
seventy cents less prints which now sell To ma
tiyes for four yards 10 the dollar, may then he
obtained five for the same. On all the articles
included in the reciprocity list there will be
more or less reduction in the cost To- the i'm
porter, and consequently 10 the consumer. 1t
Il absurd 20 contend that the consumer will not
receive the benefit. for increased competition
among traders will compel the disposal of i'm
ported goods at the lowest possible prices. If
the importers and established traders refuse To
sell ut lower rates, competitors will soon enter
the field who will DO so.
The treaty may not be just what every man
would like To have it, but we believe it is framed
n wisely as it could be, with any reasonable
hope of success. At this end of the route many
Of the neccssarics Of life will be admitted free of
tax. and the native. the poor man and aborer
will then be enabled 10 clothc. shelter and feed
