MEXICAN DUTIES.
ABIT OF HISTORY IN REGARD TO
THE IONA LIBRA.
Merchants in This Belt Would Have
Advantage of Those Outside but
for Local Taxation.
Special to the Gazette.

SpeCldl 10 LUS 1dZclte
SAN ANTONIO. Ten, Sept. 2.-The in
crease by the Mexican government of the
IONA libra duties excites a good deal of at
tention. The IONA libra is a strip extending
back sixty miles from the Rio Grande.
When the free zone was established some
eight years ago, some goods entered it free
of duty. Later a tax of per cent was
levied. This tax has now been increased,
and it viii be announced in the fcrthcom-
ing number # the Diaro official TO be 10 per
cent, to take effect November |. not 10 per
cent advalorem, but 10 per cent of the duty
levied on goods destined for ports of Mex
leo beyond the free zone, so that as regards
Federal taxation, merchants inside of the
free belt have still the advantage over
those outside of it to the extent
which, other things being equal,
would be an enormous one, is neutralized
by the incidence of corresponding local
taxation. American merchants in this and
other cities in the Rio Grande country look
upon this addition to the IONA duties
with peculiar satisfaction; for be-
sides placing them nearer competing
point withtheir rivals across the river, they
think their see in it the beginning of the
end of the free zone. The latter was estab-
ished, not for fiscal but for political rea-
sons, the idea being to build prosper
Gus and therefore contented cities
on the frontier and so allay any stubborn
revolutionary spirit the political situation
might warrant, and the commercial result
has been a comparative failure. The re-
suit does not rest with the FEDERAL govern
ment, but may be found in the uncertain.
inequitable and Onerous principle of loca-
ton, which is outside the Jurisdiction of the
general government.
