COLOMBIA RULES THE WORLD.

a Washington correspondent represents
the administration as about to hand back
to the United States OF Colo mbia the
amount of duties that have been collected
on Colombian products since the reciproc-
ity treaty went into effect. Under the re-
ciprocity clause in the Mckinley tariff
certain products of countries which COM
piled with its provisions were admitted
free. Colombia did not comply with its
provisions, but claimed that her products
should be admitted free under clause in
a treaty which contains in effect the most
favored nation" provision. In brief, Co.
lombia refusing TO grant the conditions
upon which Cuoa, Porto Rico and other
countries secured free admission for their
products claims the privileges as a free gift
which the other countries purchased. The
most favored nation joker has appeared
before. 1t has, however, been held to
apply to general conditions between ma
tons, not to the creation of special condi-
tons. One nation agrees to receive certain
produ from another nation on certain
named conditions, and the fact that condl-
tlons are stipulated removes the arrange
ment from the general provisions of the
most favored nation clause. Under this
clause Colon bia might demand that the
United States should offer to Colon bia
the privileges offered other nations, but
certainly not that Colombia could demand
without consideration privileges that
other nations attained by giving consider
atoms. The administration is represented
as unwilliDgly convinced that justice re-
quires repayment of duties collected on
The products of Colombia. When this
restoration is made Colombia Will have
obtained, without opening its markets to
American goods, precisely the benefits
Cuba and Porto Rico obtained by opening
their markets to American goods. The
ways of the Cleveland administration are
