THREE REPUBLICS HAPPY.
Venezuela, Hayti and Colombia Will Profit
by the End of Reciprocity.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The repre-
sentatives of the republics, Venezuela,
Colombia and lIayti take considerable
satisfaction out of the fact that while
the new tariff law in this country
abrogates the reciprocity treaties be-
tween this country and Brazil, Nicara-
qua, Salvador, Guatemala and other
countries, it has the reverse effect as
to them, as it does away with the re-
taliatory policy which President Har-
rison announces by proclamation
against them because the three coun-
tries had not entered into reciprocity
arrangements.
This proclamation suspended the free
list on sugar, coffee, hides and mo-
lasses, and established a duty of cents
pound on coffee, Is to . cents per
pound on sugar, cents per gallon on
molasses and ~ cents per pound on
hides. These rates have since applied
to only these three republics. while
their neighboring republics enjoyed
free entrance to this country on these
goods 1t had the effect Of cutting off
most of the exports of the three coun-
tries to the United States
Colombia, Venezuela and lIayti are
now restored to the position occupied
by other Southern republics. 1t prom
ises to revive the former extensive
trade these countries had with the
United States.
