tanned for the sugar she does send us, while
our own products OF sugar Will get the same
price they would if We had not Mexican or
Hawaiian commercial treaties. The advan-
tages TO us consist in the large number of
our manufactured articles which Mexico
will receive tree, not only from port duties,
but from internal taxation while in transit
to the place of consumption, articles which
Mexicans very much require in the deyel-
opment of their country, and on which the
present duties are 30 high that they pro-
duce little or no revenue TO
the Mexican government, as the
duties are prohibitory. Articles
to be so admitted are under seventy-three
heads and under some of these heads you
must enumerate great many, might
say hundreds of special articles. will
give youa few of them. Under one head
they admit machinery OF all sorts, classes
and description for mining, agricultural
and other purposes. Under another,
wagons, coaches and all sorts of vehicles
that are pulled by animals, and under the
head oftools for mechanical, scientific and
all other purposes, they admit tools that are
composed of brass, iron, steel or wood,
or any combination of these materials.
Under another head they admit free all
classes of rolling stock, from passenger
car to a stesm engine, that are used upon
railroads. Then there are many other artl-
cles admitted under heads which do not
admit of such minute separation as to arti-
Giles themselves, but among them are petro-
leum, crude and refined, barbed wire for
fencing and all its fixtures, houses OF wood
or iron built ready to put
up In that country. Pumps
for mines, irrigating and ali other purposes
for which pumps can be used clocks, and
many other articles extensively manufac-
tured In this country, are put under the
seventy three heads. 1t is believed these
articles being received Free will find a very
large market in Mexico, and Mexico will
find corresponding benefit in the rapid
development Of her resources, and, to some
exent by finding market in our country
for her products, protected as she is by tariff
upon similar articles that are brought here
from other countries than Mexico"
