Cattle and horses thrive upon the grass but
agriculture is not possible in the vicinity and
the people are entirely dependent for food
supplies upon the interior or provisions
brought from abroad, and sometimes the COM
monest articles are scarce enough.
BY the terms of the treaty Of 1861 which
guaranteed freedom Of religious worship, trial
by jury, and several other innovations, San
Juan was made free port Soon afterward
however, the merchants allowed a duty of !,
Per cent on all imports consumed in the place
IN order to provide means to construct light
house, and in SO the Nicaraguan government
imposed an additional 5 per cent, so that in
reality all goods landed at this so-called free
port pay 10 per cent ad valorem.
