Foster, then our minister at Madrid. Tho
year before, in 1883, very admirable
treaty Of reciprocity was negotiated BY
General Grant and Mr.. Trssoott as United
States commissioner with the Republic Of
Mexico. As the treaty was we'll considered
Is rs e%osi and Il is ss1 'Ao's s.s.
proved highly advantageous to both
countries. In view Of tho pending
discussion it is somewhat singular under the
circumstances that both these treaties failed
to secure the approval Of congress and
failed Tor the express reason that both pro-
vlded for free admission of sugar. Con-
gress would not then allow \ single pound
Of sugar to come in FREQ of duty under any
circumstances whatever, and now the propo-
sitlon 10 to open our ports free to every
bodv's sugar and to do it with such rapidi-
| ty that we are not to have moments time
TO see if we cannot make better trade.
Trade BY which We may at least pay for
part of the sugar in the products of Ameri-
can farms and shops.
Our change of opinion has certainly been
remarkable in 30 brief q period indeed.
The only danger of our not securing advan-
tageous treaties of reciprocity now is the
possible belief on the part Of those coun-
that by patient waiting they can secure all
they desire without money and without
price. Fearing that result, / sought an in
terview with eight republican members Of
the committee on ways and means more
than i've months ago. l endeavored to
convince them it would be expedient and
wise to leave to the president the op-
portunity to see what advantageous ar
rangements of reciprocal trade could be
effected. was unable to persuade the
committee to take my view.
| 1t is, think, a very grave mistake to
oppose this reciprocal proposition touching
sugar from the fear that it may conflict in
some way with the policy Of protection.
The danger is, think. wholly In the oppo-
site direction.
| The value OF the sugar We annually con-
sumo is enormous. Shall we pay for it all
cash or shall we seek reciprocal arrange
ments by which large part of it may be
paid for in pork and beef and flour, in lum-
Der and in salt and iron, in shoes and calico
things2 think the latter mode ID the
highest form of protection and the bes,
way to promote trade.
When shall we enlarge our commercial
intercourse with that great continent OF
South America If we do not now make q
beginning? If we now give away the duty
on sugar Gas we already have given away
the duties on coffee and hides and rubber)
and get nothing in exchange which shall be
profitable to farm or factory in the United
States. what shall be our justification fol
