UELA'S PRESENT TARIFF
tBr TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBuSEr
Washington, Aug. 27.-Despite the adverse action
Of the Venezuelan Congress on the reciprocity
ment proposed several months ago, persons who are
in position to know are Of the opinion that an
agreement which will be regarded as reasonably fair
and satisfactory by both Venezuela and the United
States will be reached and proclaimed within the next
three months. 1t Is understood that the adverse
action OF Congress upon the first agreement proposed
supplemented by action which armed the Presi.
dent Of that Republic with authority to enter into a
modified agreement, substantial basis for which has
already been found The efforts to that end are
watched with unusual interest and solicltude by
statesmen In both countries
The only obstacle to the prompt ratification OF tho
first agreement was the apprehension felt by some
influential Venezuelan statesmen that the effect of 1t
would be to diminish the customs revenue (upon which
Venezuela mainly depends) 10 such extent as
seriously 30 impair the credit and resources of the
Government 1t Is believed that this apprehension
has been removed in great measure by more care
full and thorough study OF the experience OF the
United States and other countries which strongly in
dcates that reduction of rates is followed by in
of importatiOns which is more than sufficient
TO compensate for that reduction. Other considera-
tons have also had some influence in producing a
change Of sentiment Among them is the fact that
per cent Of the products of Venezuela exported
to the United States are admitted free of duty
and that it will be discretionary with the President
to impose duties upon more than 90 per cent Of such
products imported into the United States after Janu-
airy l. 1892 if Venezuela shall fail refuse to agree
to the reasonable concessions which asked on be-
half Of American products.
The United states furnishes almost the sole mar
ket for the hides and skins of Venezuela Franco is
the only other country which buys any largo amount
of coffee from her. and upon that stin duty is i'm
posed and collected. Tho same IS true Of cocoa,
which Is another leading product of Venezuela export
The percentage of products of the United states ad
mited into Venezuela free OF duty IS extremely SMALL
probably less than per cent, while the rates Imposed
upon all other products exceedingly high. Tho
following statement will show what some of these
rates were under the tariff In force January l. 1887
