to the Senate with the Spanish treaty:
To the Senate of the United States:
I transmit herewith for consideration by
the Senate, with a view to advising and con-
for commercial reciprocity between the
United States and Spain providing for init
mate and favored exchange of products with
the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico, which
convention was signed at Madrid the 18th ul-
timo.
The negotiations for this convention have
been in progress since April last, in pursu-
ance of an understanding reached by the
two Governments the I'd of January, 1884, for
Between the United states and the Spanish
Governments engaged "to begin at once
meree and navigation between '1 tie United
StaDes of America and said provinces of Cuba
and Porto Rico" Although this clause was,
stitutionary agreement February ID, 1884,
now in force until placed by this convention
being carried into effect, the obligation to
enter on such negotiations and to continue
with the best desire manifest on both sides
to reach common accord of negotiation has

that the convention might respond to a Ma
tional policy of intercourse with the neigh
which is outlined in my late annual message
to Congress in the following words:
Ine cOnQ1t1On OF these treateS ShOulQ De
the free admission of such merchandise as
this country does not produce in return for
the admission free or undera favored scheme
of duties of our own products-the benefits
carried under the flag Of the parties to con-
tract. The removal on both sides, from yes
sells so privileged, of all tonnage dues and
national imports. SO that these
vessels may ply ~unhindered between our
ports and those of other contracting parties,
though Without Infringing on the reserved
HON coasting trade. The removal or re-
duction of burdens on exported products of
those countries coming within the benefits of
the treaties and the avoidance of technical
restrictions and penalties by which our in
t%ercourse with those countries is at present
hampered." A perusal of the convention
now submitted will suffice to show fully that
it carries out the policy of intercourse thus
I commend it to you in confident expecta-
ton that it will receive your sanction. It does
not seem necessary. to my present purpose
to enter into detailed consideration of the
many immediate and prospective advantages
which will flow from this convention to our
productions and our shipping interest.
