"THE FAVORED NATION
CLAUSE"

Among the recent kilograms we
find the following relative to dis
cussion about the favored nation
clause" as likely to interfere with
the United States making recipro-
city treaties with Spain or other
powers. AS stated in the extract,
this whole subject of what the
favored nation clause means was
settled at the time of the ratifica-
ton of the Hawaiian treaty in 1876.
Any nation may make special reci-
procity treaties with other nations
which grant valuable concessions,
as was done in our case, and has
been done in many other instances.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-Dlspatches
from London assert that Spain can
not negotiate reciprocity treaty
with the United States for the
Cuban trade without violating the
favored nation clause in her eX-
listing treaties with other nations.
1t is said at the Department of State
that this point was discussed and
finally decided in 1884, when Mn
lister Foster negotiated q recipro.
city treaty on the same basis that
is now proposed and is now revived,
not by Spain. but by the CONNER
cial interests of Great Britain, for
an obvious purpose. The United
States also has favored nation
clause" in most of her commercial
treaties, but this will not embarrass
the government in the negotiation
of reciprocity treaties or arrange
ments with other nations, because
the Department of State has uni
formly held, from the time of Mr.
Jefferson as Secretary of State
down to Mr.. Blaine, that the
favored nation clause only ap-
plies where privileges are granted
freely and without consideration
but wherever special consideration
is made the condition of the favor
granted or received, the " favored
nation clause does not apply
This Interpretation has been recent
ly sustained by the Supreme Court
of the United States, in it's opinion
in the case of Bartram vs.. Robert
son, October term, 1886. This case
arose under the Hawaiian recipro
city treaty, it beng claimed tina
sugar and molasses imported from
the island of St. Croix, a colony o
Denmark, should be admitted fire,
of duty under the Favored nation
clause of the treaty between tb,
United States and Denmark, be
cause like articles were ADMITTED
from the Hawaiian Islands. Tn
Supreme Court rejected the claim
stating that the treaty with Den
mark does. not bind the Unite,
States to extend to that countr,
without compensation privilege
which they have conceded to tn
Hawaiian Islands in exchange TO

call for thousands of what may be
called hands " with the necessary
proportion Of higher-class workers.
At present the outlook is very
like q labor famine. The Chinese
cannot be enticed from the towns
to the plantations, or retained when
there, but by exorbitant wages,
while rising wages and falling
prices mean hard times.
The future labor supply is by no
means assured. The Portuguese
Government is offering great in
ducements to emigrants for the
Colonies in South Africa. Brazil
also is making most liberal arrange
ments for Portuguese who will
settle in her enormous territories,
that there is little hope of getting
any assistance in that direction.
No Cinnamon, except those re-
turning with permits after years

but is far from sufficient for tn,

themselves to an earnest attemp
at the solution of this most press
ing question.
