MINISTER REID ON FRENCH PROHIBITION
OF AMERICAN PORK.
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE SENT TO THE sENs
ATE-AN IMPORTANT LETTER FROM MIN.
ISTER REID TO THE FRENCH MINIS.
TER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS-AN
INJURY TO TWO NATIONS.

Washington, Aug 15.-In compliance with the
resolution of the Senate of last July, calling fof
all correspondence not already submitted to Con-
gress and now in the Department of State, touch
ing the efforts made by this Government to Sc
cure the modification or repeal by the French
Government of its decree of 1881 prohibiting the
Importation into France of American pork and
kindred American products, the President to-day
sent to the Senate letter from the Acting Secre-
tary of State on the subject together with large
volume of correspondence between Minister Reid
and Secretary Blaine beginning July, 1889.
The Acting Secretary in his letter of trans
initial states that the correspondence discloses
the important fact that the French Government
now practically places its exclusion of American
pork products upon economic instead of sanitary
grounds. AS this policy of exclusion, says Mr..
Wharton, measure for the protection of the
domestic products of France, is applied only TO
the United States, the Department has not failed
to protest against the discrimination unjust
The correspondence is vOluminOus including
statements by the Secretary of Agriculture 10 the
Secretary of State of the prOhibitive edicts and
regulations; but the most important portion is
contained in a long letter addressed by Mr. Reid to
VI. Ribot on July 3, last Mr.. Reid reminds the
Minister that he is waiting for the fulflment OF
assurances unoflicially given by NJ. Vignaud in
connection with the Mckinley Administrative bill.

MINISTER REID's VIGOROUS LETTER.

Mr.. Reds letter in full is appended:
July g. 1890.
To His Excellency, Mr. Ribot, Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
Sir Referring to previous correspondence con-
cerning the French prohibition of American pork,
and to recent conversations on the SUBJECT
venture 70 remind Your EXcellency that my Cow
ernment is attentively waiting for the fulfilment
of the assurance unofcially given to Mr.. Vignaud,
in response to my reply sent last April from WASH
ington, to your representations about the Nc
Kiney Administrative bill You will recall that,
while advising you OF my earnest efforts to pro-
cure the desired removal of needless or unjust
restrictions upon your trade, | pointed out once
more that the greatest obstacle arose from what
our people consider the persistent injustice OF
France in continuing the prohibition OF greau
staple American product on the indefensbe
ground that it is unwhoesome. Your EXcellency
was good enough then, TO intimate that the
Government would be willing TO propose the repeal
of this prohibition.
Such a step now would be most timely and
could not fail to have a beneficial effect While
the belief was current that this course would be
speedily taken, the House of Representatives
voted TO remove the existing duty of 80 per cent
on pictures and statues. Seeing now that it Is
not taken, and beginning TO believe that it will
not be. the Senate committee has already amended
the Tariff bill by reimposing this duty, and
there is danger that the Senate Will approve their
action. 1t is only candid to explain that the ma
ority OF the Senator's and Representatives, in-
cluding especially those from the great corn-grow"
ing and reproducing States, regard the attl"
tude Of France without warrant in fact, and un-
friendly. This old and growing feeling arises.
unlike your recent complaints about our tariff
bills, from no mere objection to the size of the
duty you choose to impose, although within recent
years YOU have greatly increased it, or to minof
details in your Custom House methods. II springs
from a grievance more serious and deep-seated-
your persistent discrimination in favor of the prod
ucts of Germany, Italy, England and other coun-
tries against those of your historic friend, which
you absolutely prohibit the charge of their bad
quality.
