Our Commerce with the West Indies
Spanish Opposition to its Increase.
PARIS, Dec. 26.-Our Madrid correspond
ent telegraphs as follows: early attention
must be called in America to the strong influ-
ence brought to bear upon the Madrid gov
eminent by the journalistic organs of the So
called free traders in the capital, by the Cata-
Ian manufacturers, by the Castilian agricul-
tnral interests and by the great ports of the
Peninsula to arrest and impede the conces-
sions that are about to be made by Senior
Canovas del Castillo to the importers of the
United States and to the flag of America in
the West Indies The arguments used in the
press and by the representatives of the mon
opoly claimed by the mother country in the
matter of exports to Cuba rest now on the
pretension that America must diminish her
duties on sugars and molasses, because
her own refineries want raw materials and
certain class of opinion in Spain insists
that, despite the long repeated grievances of
the West Indies, which are burdened in favor
of the mother country, Spain cannot and
must not initiate reforms in the tariff of the
colonies, because her imperial interests re-
quire that Cuba and Porto Rico should not
become independent of the produce of PENN
sular industry and agriculture. This must
inevitably ensue from all development of
commercial relations between Cuba and the
United States if tariffs are lowered in the
West Indian colonies. Resistance to reform
ing the tariff of Cuba is certain in the next
Legislature from all sides. Now, as national
susceptibility seems to be aroused by the in
teligence of negotiations in Washington for
mutual concessions to the wines, oils, dry
raisins and fruit of the Peninsula, SO all de-
velopment of relations between the United
States and the West Indies-especially the
repeal of diferential flag duties in Cuba-is
an object of resistance in the ports of Spain.
They ask for the repeal of flag duties in the
United States
