lows concerning your Treaty;
The Reciprocity Treaty between the United
States and the Hawaiian Kingdom, after 4
/ protrscteG discussion in the Senate, has been
Z laid over. The principal opposition to the
treaty was from the newly-admitted Southern
members, who are alarmed al the idea OF
admitting sugar Tree from another source.
I The friends Of the treaty contend for the
( great Advantages TO Us Of having a foothold
on the Islands as halfway station for our
I Pacific trade, and express the fear that II we
let slip this opportunity it may be taken
advantage Of BY England or France Its
adyersaries oppose il for the same reasons
offered in opposition TO a reciprocity treaty
with Canada, on the ground that, pecuniarily,
the United States is loser by such treaty,
and that, instead Of promoting annexation,
il retards il BY aifording all the advantages
of annexation without its drawbacks The
treaty with the Sandwich Islands provides
for the importation into this country of su-
gar from the Islands free of duty As We
have now a treaty with Spain, putting her
on the footing Of the most favored nations,
il Is urged that if the Sandwich Islands sugar
is admitted free Of duty, we shall be eompell-
ed, under the treaty with Spain, TO admit
Havana sugar free Of duty.

the ratification OF the treaty
