ExpoRrs FROM THE FIVE STATES.
IMPORTS INTO THE FIVE STATES.

The first totals given under the head OF exports
REPRESENT the articles Specified in the Aldrich
Amendment to the Mckinley Tariff Act. Coffee,
sugar and hides which are now received without
payment Of duty in the American market, COM
prise nearly three-fourths of the Central Amerl-
can imports; rubber, fruit and dyewoods making
IN the balance. Sugar is so iuconsiderable
fraction that it drops at once out of account.
Hides amounting to S439,59O furnish slender
basis for reciprocity negotiations with five Gov
ernInents The amendment, so far as Central
America is concerned, is grounded upon an equi-
table exchange for the unrestricted importation Of
S575Q.Ol4 Of coffee. The continuance Of the
free market for coffee is left dependent upon the
negotiation Of a reciprocity agreement III
equitable exchange be refused, President Harrison
will be under obligations 20 close the free market
for coffee on January /, 1892. That duty VIII
be an urgent one if the State Department follows
ND its success in negotiating treaty with Brazil
by contracting similar engagements with Nene-
zuea
If the five republics were United in Central
American Confederation, there would be popu-
lation of nearly 3, 100000, nhabiting a territory
of I73s7s square miles. and having an a9ere-
gate trade Of S12, 500 900 with the United States
Reciprocity negotiations in that case would be
practicable and might be arranged on easier terms
than the Brazilian basis When it is necessary
to deal with five governments in place Of one and
TO effect diplomatic settlement with each in turn
over varying fractions Of whole that is less
than one-ffth OF the aggregate trade between
Cuba and the United States, the game hardly
seems 70 be worth the tallow The American
Minister to the five States certainly cannot
succeed in negotiating five commercial AGREEMENTS
in the course of nine months. Indeed il is doubt
full If be can make q settlement with q single
Government, for Central American coffee is highly
esteemed in Germany, France and England, ard
considerably less than one-half of the crop taken
by the United States.
The President, moreover, has been directed by
Congress 10 impose duties on coffee, hides and
sugar whenever after January 1, 1892, he shall
consider the conditions of trade inequitable. The
