The Me1ican Commercial Treaty.

The commercial treaty with Mexico VIII
no doubt come up in the Senate for ratiii-
cation soon after Congress meets. The
newspapers are beginning to discuss it in
anticipation Of its early consideration.
The opposition To It last session came
principally from our sugar-planting inter-
cst The sugar planters are afraid that If
this treaty Is ratified the sugar industry
in this country Will be ruined. The facts
with regard 20 Mexican sugar show that
their fears are grOundless. The duty paid
on Mexican sugar imported into this coun-
try last year was only $4,000. Only one
tenth Of per cent. % the sugar we i'm
port comes from Mexico, and if the duty
were removed the amount could not posi-
bly, be more than One-fOUrth Of l per cent.
The production Of sugar in MeXicoi Is limit
ed.and If the sugar industry were stimulat-
ell there by free importation into this coun-
try the increased production would not
more than keep pace with increased con-
sumption in Mexico. our Consul at Mat
am0ras, General sutton, saws that the OBJ
iections which our sugar planters ad-
vance To the treaty are not reasonable.
The treaty would be far more beneficial
To this country than to Mexico. We now
send TO Mexico FAR more than she sends
to Us. The amount which we collected
on goods imported from Mexico last year
was $179,O15, while the amount which
Mexico collected on goods imported from
this country was sos, ll6. In the matter
Of revenues Mexico, by the ratification
Of the treaty, would lose far more than
we would. Almost the entire amount col
lected By Mexico was on carriages
and petroleum. our export
Of petroleum To Mexico would
be greatly increased if the onerous Mexi-
can duties were out Of the way. We get
from Mexico now sugar, hemp, silk, leaf
tobacco and fruits. All OF these things
we want, and want badly. 1t is every
year becoming more apparent that we
must have something more than a home
market for our manufactured products.
Mexico j. a market which we ought to
supply. our location and our railways
give Us advantages possessed by no Eu-
Topeau country, and yet the trade Of Eng
land. France and Germany with Mexico
is far greater than our trade with that
country Is. With this commercial treaty
we can monopolize the Mexican trade.
That trade is very valuable now, and it is
certain to grow in value as the country is
developed by the railways. Ought the
unfounded fears Of the Louisiana sugar
planters be permitted to shut this coun-
try out from this Mexican trade:

delicate and natural are its
effects that its use is not

There is something pathetic in the wish
of senator Anthony, Of Rhode Island, to
die in harness. For a quarter of CEN
tury he has been member of the United
states senate. He is not great man in
any sense Of the word, but he is a safe
man. an honest man, and, intellectually.
be Is above the average. The Senate
chamber has come to be the most attrac-
tive place to him in the world. and he
would rather die. probably, in his seat
than i'm bed 1t home. Last summer his
friends about concluded that he would
never enter upon his fifth term in the
senate. but he had more vitality than he
was credited with, and recovered so far
as to be able to be about again. There is
no man IN the Senate now who was
member when he was sworn in. y
Washington correspondent, who has
looked over the records Of that period.
saws: Anthony was sworn in March /,
1859. and OF the eight Senators who began
their first term Of service on that day, he
and Willard Salisbury, Of Delaware, are
the only survivors. Robert TOombs and
James Chestnut, JT., Of South Carolina,
who are both living. were sworn in on the
same day. but Toombs had served
one term Of six years aud Chestnut had
already served one year under an appoint
ment from the Governor of South Carolina.
Judah z. Benjamin also is yet living, and
he began new term in the Senate March
4 1889. but was not sworn until the fol-
lowing day. He was first elected for the
term which began March 4, 1851. Simon

shire: CIingman, Of North Carolina;

bal Hamlin. Yulee, Harlan, Doolittle.

are. l believe. the only other survivors of
that senate, which numbered sixty-twO
members"
OF the sixty-two, how few remain, and
what remarkable experiences some Of
those few have had! The period covered
bv MIR. AnthOny's Senatorial career was
the most exciting and the most memorable
in the country's history. As his memory
spans il how brief it must appear, but
how FUN Of the weightiest events. A
little while longer and his familiar figure
and benevolent face will disappear for
ever. 1t is probable that he will have his
wish. because the disease from which he
suffers Is liable to claim him as its VIC
tim at any moment.

Prosecutor Wallace responded that
he had copy Of full pardon restor-
ing Liddel to citizenship.

original pardon should be introduced,
and then the attorneys for both sides
consumed two hours IN arguing the
force OF the pardon IN legal SENSE,
At IL O'Clock Judge Goodman or
dered recess to give him time 10 con-
slider the point, which Is one OF great
Importance 10 the defense, since Lid
dell's testimony is vital TO the prose-
cution.

morning that the testimony would
all be in by next Tuesday evening, ana
the case given TO the jury on Wednes-
day.
At 3 O'Clock the court was called TO
order and the Judge annt unced ms

then objected that the paper purport-
ing 10 be pardon was only copy.

ON his poi,. dire. Answering theprcs-
ecutor's questions, witness said he was
sent to the penitentiary rom Vernon
