Mexico is country so heavily tariff taxed under its present system of gov ernment that it is to be hoped these amendments may become laws. It would be greatly to the benefit of the people of that country that they should, for, as pointed out by Consul General Donnelly, the passage of them would mean increased trade with the United States, and that means, in turn, grcatercomforts and lower prices for commodities than what Mexicans are and have been paying. The bene- fits that would accrue 10 that country through closer commercial relations with tine United States would be greatly in excess Of any that would accrue to the people of this country.

Joseph C Donncllr. Jaiied States Consul General to Mexico, la a report to tue State Department, q printed copy Of which has just beea issued, gives at some length the prominent features of the amendments to the Mexican constitution sostrongly urged by President Diaz oo the Mexican con gress. The amendments which If passed, are llse.y io affect trade be- tween the Unitad States and Mexico are the following:
 Tue states shall not; coin money, issue paper money, stamps, or stamped paper.
 Tax passage of persons or effects through their territory.
 Prohibit or tax, directly or indirect ly, the introduction or exit from their territory Of domestic or foreign mer- chandise.
 Impose on the circulation or con sumption of domestic or foreign mer- chandise duties or taxes Of a nature to be collected by internal custom houses or to require the opening or examina- tion of packages, or to necessitate the transportation Of goods under fiscal documents.
 Issue or maintain laws or fsca enactments implying distinction as to taxation or requirements, based on places of origin of domestic or foreign merchandise, and whether the distinc- tion be enforced by way Of protection to local production or by way of favor to products coming from given local l ity.
 Another amendment provides
 It is the exclusive privilege of the powers Of the Union to tax merchan- | disc on it's importation or exportation, or passage in transit through the ! national territory, as also to regulate i at all times, and even to prohibit for | reasons of public safety or police, the | circulation in the interior of the re- public of aoy kind of merchandise whatever may be the place of itsorlgin.
 Speaking ir his report Of these pro posed amendments, Consul General Donnelly says ''If pushed and there is reason to believe they will bel they may provoke struggle which will de- termine MeNico's place in modern progress, and be decisive of the nation al supremacy.
