RECIPROCAL IN NAME MORE THAN IN FACT.
Among the exporters the Spanish Treaty was an ac-
tive topic of conversation yesterday the opinions eiced

william 9 Coombs OF Coombs, Crosley Eddy large ex-
and traders with Spanish colonies and the South
American States said From careful examination OF
articles OF the treaty must confess think the Spanish
Mnser made better for his Government than our
| representative has done for the United states
The benefits reciprocity treaties to the contracting
narties are I'm my opinion, seeming than real.
This treaty makes long step toward the practical app
cation of free trade doctrines, ana IA part OF an eaD
orate scheme for extending our commercial relations
with neghborng countries deserves careful scrutiny III

commercial operations OF other nations as of
England, the way is open for the 1iRmng o si,nni
treaty with the aggrieved state. But England enjoys
in enect already all the benefits that similar treaty can
for her. The exception OF American ships from
tonnage duties Is decided gain for our merchant marine
