ANOTHER TRIUMPH
For the Reciprocity Clause of
the Mckinley Bill.
RECIPROCITY CONVENTION
Between the United States aud Spain
Similar to the Treaty with Brazil.
Oar Farmers will Reap the
Greatest Benefit Possible.

MADRID, April 2O.-.rhe reciprocity
convention between Spain and the
United States, as drafted by Premier
Canovo Del Castillo, representing spaip,
and Gen. ]. W. Foster. representing the
United States, is based, as far as the
United States is concerned, upon the
third or reciprocity section Of the new
American tariff law. In return for the
privilege of free entry into the United
States Of Antilles, sugar, molasses, coffee
and hides, and a reduction Of the
duty on tea, America will OBJ
tain exemption from duties on
most Of the raw and manufactured pro-
ducts and reduction OF tariff on ceteSls
and -four. The negotiations were pro.
tracted upon the question OF the entire
abolition oil the tariff on cereals, flours
and oils, including petroleum and lard.
Representations that American &c.
ciprocity would be impossible without
the free admission OF American cerea'a
induced Premier Canovas 10 assent to
such reduction Of the tariff as will
place American flour upon O nearly
equal footing with Spanish flour. San.
lander merchants declare that, taking
into consideration the cost Of the trans.
portation Of CASTLE grain, Of which the
bulk goes to the Antilles, American
flour will crush out the Spanish product
in the Spanish West Indies. Cuba now
consumes 100000 barrels OF -four yearly
chiefly Spanish, which enters free OF
duty, and pays for it twelve dollars per
barrel.
Trade in American flour burdened
with an extra duty OF twenty per cent
since 1880 has been completely wiped
out to the advantage Of the Spanish
product. Under the new convention
the entry Of American -four practically
free Of duty will lower the price to about
SO per barrel and will extlnguish the
OF Spanish -four, while In
creabing the Cuban consumption toa
million barrels yearly, all Of which will
be American product.
Under the new convention America
will obtain kind Of Eoll,vefein with
the Spanish Antilles. Her wheat, beans,
flour, lard, petroleum, manufactured
products and machinery, will enter
practically free OF duty. Among other,
Spanish exports olive oil will be replaced
by American lard, and beans, now ex-
ported to Cuba in large quantities, will
cease to be sent. The advantages re-
Bulting to Cuba will be great, but 1t Ia
to estimate the injury to
Spanish trade.

be another magnetic spell thrown over
them by the skilled cornetist, Mr.. Henry
A. Higgins, whose playing is like liquid

markable violinist.
Mr.. II. Cornelius showed that he was

he says: "The object of the convention
was 10 form q Republican League in this
State as branch Of the National Re-
publican League, and to elect delegates
10 the Cincinnati convention Of ssid

as the gentlemen at Washington that
the whites OF this State cannot join a

race question only to afford the negro
his rights as an American citizen"
There is more in tho movement here
