IMPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES.
1O9.sOO 10 o

The United States, while Offering q very large
measure of free trade to the West Indies and the
unrestricted advantage of selling i'll the largest
and best market in the world, has an equitable
right 10 demand substantial concessions in return
Jamaica not only levies export duty on the
sugar, coffee and logwood shipped to the United
States, but claps tax Of 50 on every barrel of
American -four and restricts all other importations
of farm produce and manufactures by high spe-
cifc duties. Sir Henry Blake during the last six
months has been listening with rapt air to the
Canadian cuckoo song, and has secuted the idea
of making concessions to the United States
Sometimes he has seemed almost willing 10 be
convinced that there were millions of fur-traders
in the barren stretches Of Hudson's Bay territory
athirst for Jamaica rum with sugar In it, and that
in the regions toward the north pole there were
other millions of Esquimauy who were hungering
otter Jamaica bananas and oranges TO eat with
their icecream; but lie is practical statesman,
and will inevitably be released from his illusions
when the necessity for being petite to his exhi
bition guests and patrons passes. Nothing can be
palmer than the superiority Of the American mar

mating duties on tropical produce from countries

In the face of this menace, which would at
once be carried into execution, it would DC an
act of sheer madness if Jamaica were to favor
an insignificant customer, such as Canada Is, at
the expense of a nation of 63,OOO,OOO consumers
that has been buying freely everything produced
on the island with the single exception OF rum
The Canadian delegation has made great noise
over the thousands of samples OF bread baked
from the choicest grades of Canadian Hour which
have been pedded about the island during the
Exhibition period; but the Jamalcans know that
they cannot live by bread that is cast upon the
West Indian waters to be returned TO the DOMINION
in the form of exclusive trade privileges Their
bread has been poor because they have persisted
in importing cheaper and inferior grades of Ameri-
can -four; but they we'll aware that they could
have better bread if they were willing to pay
IS barrel for their -four, or if the Government
would remove the import duty of So. If they
were TO lose the American market for their
produce, they would not be able 10 buy flour from
any quarter, duty or no duty.
The Canadian unrecprocal trade proposals have
NOT been taken very seriously. Sir Henry Blake
was grateful to the delegation for furnishing so
fine an exhibit at his West Indian Fair, and has
entertained the visitors with expansive rhetoric
and hospitality but when the show comes to an
end he will follow his sober judgment, and be
very careful to avoid openly challenging Presl-
dent Harrison to convert q generous offer OF
commercial reciprocity into menace Of retalia-
ton That offer comes from nation which has
been the salvation of Jamaica and the West Indies
