THE MEXICAN TREATY.
The proposed treaty between the United
States and Mexico is filed with the secre-
tary of state. The latter official is not dis
posed to make its contents public, but
Gen. Grant gave out its details to few
persons. From what is known of its pro-
visions, the treaty is a rather one-sided
affair. 1t proposes to let in Mexican
sugar, tobacco, hemp and other agricultu-
raj products free, and only permits the
free importation into Mexico of American
agricultural and mining implements, and
some other manufactured articles. The
treaty will be vigorously opposed by the
representatives of the sugar interests, who
are now here in large force to urge the
abrogation of the Hawaiian treaty. The
same reasons which induce these interests
treaty will induce them to oppose quite as
vigorously the ratification of the treaty
with Mexico, which proposes to let
in sugar free. Sugar from Mexico would
come even into sharper competition with
Louisiana sugar than sugar from the
Sandwich islands. The treaty was pre-
pared last fall between Grant & Romero,
was taken by the latter to Mexico and ap-
proved, as a matter of fact, by the Mexi-
can authorities, before the Mexican COM
missioners were appointed.
