His mower Is without limit He may at any
time revoke. modify, terminate or renew any
srcb direction as in his opinion the public IN
-, NAV require No law has ever been
rossod in any constitutional country giving It's
rxocutive such large and unqualified powers
o,,o, its commercial relations. Its enactment
we'll illustrates the confidence reposed ny the
American people in the prudent discretion OF
their Chief Magistrate.
President Harrison has not felt called upon
~ vet 70 put this authority into operation
rims far he has occupied himself in efforts to
convince the Governments of Europe that the
o,ounds upon which they have enforced their
rostrictive DEGREES against American pork are
u,boIIv mistaken, and that even if at any timo
:, .be mast there was a sound sanitary reason
for such DEGREES in view Of our newly adopted
svstem Of inspection, it can no longer be con-
sjdered to apply. Germany has admitted the
soundness and fairness of this contention, and
mas withdrawn her prohibition Denmark has
inst done the same The french Cabinet has
made a similar admission, and the House OF
Deputies by an overwhelming majority has
voted 10 confirm it, Their resolution now
awaits the action Of the French Senate, but
there is no reasonable doubt that its approval
will be given, and that the custom houses OF
France will be thrown open to our meat prod
nets within a few months. Austria and Italy
have still to signify their positions There IS
good reason TO believe that Austria will follow
Germanys example, and without the imposition
of any duties will enable our pork to sell freely
in her territory. As to Italy, however, there
is at present no satisfactory assurance.
Orr relations with Italy before the unfortu-
nate New-Orleans affair we're exceedingly cor
dial. That they should be suffered to remain
in their present state is depOrable, but unless
the MARQUIS di Rudini will reopen the diplo-
matte communication he was so strangely moved
10 break, we do not know how their former
character can be fully restored. They can be
improved, however, and the way can be opened
for the renewal of diplomatic relations II ne
will voluntarily undertake to remove the pork
DEGREES Such an act on his part would be &C
cepted by the American people as indicative OF
friendly feelings, and would do great deal
to dispose of the irritation which his recall OF
Baron Fava so generally provoked. 1t would
be- moreover, in il, merely commercial char
acter an act of great value to Italy. 1t Is OBJ
yious that if Germany, France and Austria re-
spond favorably to our demands, but Italy re-
fuses to do so, we cannot justly consent to trade
with her as we do now. 1t will be both natural
and necessary for us to buy of those who buy
of us-to deal with nations that concede our
requests rather than with nations which signify
that they place no value on our friendship
We import from Italy to the annual amount
of $40, 900. The fruits wines and raw
silk that constitute the bulk of this trade can
easily be obtained elsewhere. As matter OF
business, not less than for its tendency toward
the restoration of good feeling, the immediate
removal of the pork DEGREES is well worth
Premier Rudini's consideration.
