senator sherman (O.l expressed bis
views on the Subject of lreei iprocity, and
spoke Of the difficulties ia -ae way OF
reciprocity BY treaty. The dsst PROPOSE
tion OF senator Haie's amendment
was almost a startling one. 1t
authorized the President OF the
United states without further sgisla-
ton % declare the ports OF the United
States free and open % all the products
Of any nation OF the American hemi-
sphere upon which no export duties are
imposed Was Cuba he asked, a na-
zion? he knew that the senator said
that he meant 20 include Cuba But
was Canada embraced in that list Of na-
tiousf tie had asked the senator that
question and the Senator had replied:
sNo. no: thatis quite different thing. :"
And yet Canada was an independent
government 20 all practical purposes,
except - 70 the tie which bound her 70
the mother country. But If any recip-
rocal trade arrangements were made
with any coantry they ought to be made
with Canada.
senator Spooner tWis.) suggested an
amendment 70 apply 20 Canada, putting
aduty of 10 per cent. ad valorem on green
coffee. 3 cents a pound and 10 per cent.
al vaiorem on roast and ground coffee
and 10 per cent on tea-these duties be-
ing initiated from the Canadian tariff

At the evening session Senator Glib
son moved as a substitute for the sugar
schedule the paragraphs in the existing
Law imposing duties on sugar.
Senator Vance ~. c. argued in sup
port OF the amendment offered by him
reducing the rates of duty on all manu-
features OF steel and iron, on all wool
en and cotton goods, on earthenware
and glassware, and on all material used
for fertilizers, when such goods have
been purchased abroad by any citizen OF
the United States by exchange Of Amer
lean farm products, or b. the proceeds
OF the sale Of such farm products.
The Senate then, az 10 p. m, ad-

called attention % the fact that
when the duty On coffee was removed
from Brazil il obtained all the benefit
OF that act By establishing an export
duty OF equal amount on coffee. He
doubted the proprietv OF removing the
iuty on sugar, but II this is % be done
