NEW SPANISH TARIFF.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-A letter just
received at the Department of State
from Mr.. Adee, Charge d'Affaires of the
United States at Madrid, calls the atten-
ton of the Government to the deep in
terest felt by the representatives OF for
eign nations in the pew customs tariff Of
Spain just promulgated. This interest
is especially marked among the diplo-
matte representatives Of these countries
which are expressly excluded from par
ticipation In the benefits of the reduced
duties.
With the exception of cotton the du-
fes Oh the principal exports OF the
United States, petroleum, starch,
slaves, lumber, agricultural machinery
and implements, ETC., are the same. or
nearly so, for the most favored nations.
Mr. John Walsham contends that the
exports from Great Britain to Spain
should be favored on the ground that
the British tariff makes no exceptions
whatever, but applies alike to imports
from all countries, SO that Spain in effect
received the treatment of the most ia.
vored nation.
1t is shown, however, by the estimate
made that the British tariff neither dis
eliminates against Spanish products
nor fayors any Nation whatever, being
alike for ALL Tue new tariff makes dis
eliminating reductions of duties which
affect the French trade most inju-
riously, amounting almost to prohibit
tion on silk and other articles imported
from France into Spain, as France dis
criminates heavily against Spanish
products. There will probably be no
remedy but in the execution of a new
commercial treaty. The general tariff
took effect on August /; the specific
charges on petroleum oils, aguardien,e
and coal began TO fail from July 12; the
old tariff continues for all merchandise
proved to have been shipped before the
latter date.
