SPANS NEW TARIFF.
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ENGLAND, FRANCE AND
TIE UNITED STATES.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Mr. Adee, Charge
dAffares of the United States at Madrid has written
letter TO the State Department, calling the attention OF
the United States Government TO the fact that Spain has
reduced her tariff imported goods but has excepted
England France and the United States that the goods
Of those countries practically excluded from the
Spanish markets. The reason English and French goods
are executed is probably be found in the fact that Eng
land imports light wines from France much lower rates
Of duty than those levied the heavier wines OF SPAIN
but is assigned for discriminating similar
way against the United Hereafter Ed gsh Spanish
ant American goods imported into Spain Will have
pay from thirty 20 fifty per cent duty than those Of
Germany. Switzerland and other European nations.
These determinations, Mr. Adee says have been the
subject OF much interesting discussion among the dipo
matte representatives in Spain Of those countries
pressly excluded from tho benefits OF the new tariff;
but it is not anticipated that the United States will make
any remonsrance, II might possibly do the ground
that most Of our treaties OF commerce and navigation
picltly provide that goods exported from the United
States shall not be taxed higher than those from
the most favored nations. Sir John Wasbam. Mr.. Adee
says insists that the British goods imported into Spain
ought to be admitted the rate of tariff
of other countries. because Great Britain
cepon whatever against products Of Spain received
her ports 1t to be the general impression among
foreign representatives in Madrd-and similar views
believed TO Dc held here-that the main object OF
this tariff measure is induce countries excluded
nom its benefits to rearrange their commercial treaties
on basis more favorable TO Spain. The instructions
given by the State Department to Minister Lowell wero
to complete the revision Of commercial treaties with
Spain. 1t is believed therefore, that there win be
difficulty in arranging this matter satisfactorily to both
parties. The new Spanish tariff took eject August l,
but the old tariff continues for all merchandise proved 10
