DALLAS, TEX. Sept. 11.-At the meet
ing of the city council last night the
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, by reason of the previous
uniform construction of the revenue
laws of the United States, by which
silver ore is admitted free of duty in
all cases where the value of the silver
exceeds that of the lead mixed there
with, on account of large quantities Of
such fiuxing ores being admitted as ar
gentiferous galena ores from the republic
of Mexico, important smelling interests
have grown UP in Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona; and,
Whereas, the introduction of such
ores from the republic of Mexico has Sc
cured an exchange of commodities from
that country, which has eventuated into
such close trade relations with the peo-
pie of the United States as renders the
continuance of that condition of vital
Importance to our people; therefore be 1t
Resolved, by the city council of the
city of Dallas, that any change II the
construction of our revenue law, by
which such fluxing ores are made to pay
an additional duty, will greatly embar-
rass our relations with the Mexican peO-
pie, will seriously affect our commerce
with Mexico and intlict iTreparable injury
upon our people engaged in that trade,
as it will tend to incite the authorities of
the republic of Mexico to inaugurate re-
strictive retaliatOry measures.
Resolved, that the question Of our trade
relations with the Mexican people is not
q partisan or a political question, but
that it is of an economic question in which
the people of the United States, and es-
pecially of the Southwest, are vitality in
terested.
Resolved, that such reciprocity trea-
ties should be made by the United States
and the republic of Mexico as will sim
pity and encourage commercial inter
course and promote trade between their
citizens.
Resolved, that we urge upon our rep
resentatives in congress the Importance
of doing all in their power to facilitate
trade relations between the republic OF
Mexico and this country.
Resolved, that a copy of these Tesolu-
tions be furnished to each member or
congress from this state,
Resolved, that the press of the state
of Texas be requested to publish these
resolutions.
