THE IONA LIBRE.

Zone has awakened no little in
terest in the communities affect
ed. The Two Republics prob
ably casts up the sentiment of
the majority Of the business
men Of Mexico and the Rio
Grande country in the follow
ing:
The Diario Official printed a
few days ago a decree which
would have been regarded as
very important two or three
months ago, and even now is
not wanting in Importance. We
refer to a circular of the Treas
ury Department providing for
the admission of goods bound
for the iona Libre through the
ports of Guaymas, Vera Cruz
and Tampico, upon payment
of 10 per cent of the regular
schedule duties. As the readers
of The Two Republics are
aware the act Of the United
States Congress prohibiting the
transportation across Amer
lean territory in bond of goods
bound to the iona Libre, never
became effective, owing to fatal
flaws. Hence this act on the
part of the treasury of Mexico
lis unnecessary, although it is
not superfiuous, since it is nee
essary in order to place the
operation of the IONA Libre in
a position independent of Unit
ed States legislation Had the
act of the United States Con
gress taken effect it would have
