there is more disposition TO de-

How They "Expand" ommerce.

Spain will retaliate for the ruth
less abrogatlon by the United States
OF the reciprocity treaty un Ter which
sugar has been a .mitted free to this
country in return for the removal or
reduction of duties on American pro-
ducts This was expected. Inc gov
eminent has never been guilty OF an
act more clearly indefensIble than
this deliberate tramplins upon reci-
procity treaties. spain and other
nations that entered into such ar
engagements with the United States
under the Mckinley law have not
been consulted or even notified. Con-
gress simply wiped out the treaties,
as it the United States had no obll-
cation whatever to fulfill What
makes this action all the more Of
fensive is the fact that the United
States was urgently solicitous
in negotiating the treaties Our
government was the party OF
| the first part in these con-
tracts Now the reciprocity en-
gagements are expunged withou.
evel saying to the score of other
governments, 'Dy your leave.
spain will Immediately reimpose
duties on American products and the
probability is that she will discrim-
| mate against the United States, in
matter of Cuban imports. This will
be a severer blow to our commerce.
We now practically monopolize the
! Cuban trade. Other nations with
which we have these reciprocity ar
engagements will undoubtedly follow
| SPANS example If the tariff bill
becomes a law. our export ira lie, SO
far as these interested countries are
concerned, will be materially re-
duccd. This is kind of reform"
which the American people will not
relish -Cincinnati Times-Star
