A MUTUAL

Substance Of the Proposition o.
Reciprocity With Central and
South American Countries.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
There has been q great deal of Tnmor in
connection with the tariff schedules, and
Secretary Blaine's influence in order to es-
tablish reciprocity with South and Central
American countries. The secretary has
submitted to the majority members of the
ways and means COMMITTEES q proposition
relative to the South American imports,
which is as follows:
The president shall by proclamation declare
all ports OF the United States free to all products
OF any Independent nation on ,, me A are nasa
levied SO long as such nations admit free OF AZ
duties breadstuffs, provisions, preserved meats,
fish. vegetables, fruits, and in fact al arglcles 81
food. lumber. refined petroleum, and such other
products peculiar to the United States as may
be agreed upon: provided, however, that this
e 81 sssdss., shall b Ils. apply !, to only Unite, t. R= sssaes I'd e
the other countries entering into this agreement.
This may not be the exact language OF
the proposition, but it contains all the ma
terial facts, and the ways and means CONF
mittee are now considering it. 1t, means
free carpet wool, free sugar and free hides
from the countries on the American CONT
nent. Some facts about South American
commodities are submitted with the propo-
sition. South American countries export
49, O0, 600 in sugar and import $3.50, 0OO,OOO
in goods, only about 10 per cent OF which is
purchased in this country. There is no
produce or breadstuffs raised in those u
tries, wheat bread being luxury. A barrel

hams and bacon are so cents per pound;
ury, owing to the duty. Petroleum, worth
S cents a gallon at Philadelphia, is 80 cents
a quart in South America. There is no coal,
except in Chill, and gas cannot be profita-
bly, made, hence there would be Q market
for United States oils. AS to lumber. com.
mon pine, hemlock and spruce is worth 10
cents a foot. and is more expensive Than
concessions which the United States would
have 70 make would be the admittance free
of duty from these countries of wool. hides
and sugar. The sugar industries in these
countries is carried on by free labor, and
has not been able to compete with the slave
labor of Cuba. The wool raised is
entirely OF the coarser grades, suita-
is that it can only be taken out of custom
houses by carpet manufacturers. The hides
are mostly of the coarser grades suitable Tor
shoes. 1t is claimed that the products of
South America are OF such a character that
they will not interfere with products of the
United States, and even in sugar cannot
more than compete with the dutiable sugar
from slave countries. The plan is the South
American policy OF Secretary Blaine, who
proposes to build q protection wall along
the coast line of the Americas for the
mutual benefit of those sections, and at the
same time to stimulate the American mer-
chant marine by prohibiting the CARRYING
Of goods to be admitted free IN anything
but in American vessels.

s~allowness of the skin, furred appearance of
the tongue, indigestion, costiveness, head
ache, nausea, pains through the right side and

obstinate complaint are entirely and prompt

medicine, in behalf of which testimony is con-
