measure. granting 20 per cent reduction.

said Government with view to the ar
rangement of commercial agreement in
which reciprocal and equivalent conces-
sions may be secured in favor of the
products and manufactures of the United
States by rates of duty which shall be
less by an amount equivalent to at least
20 per cent ad valorem upon such prod
ucts and manufactures than the rates
imposed upon the like articles when i'm
ported into Cuba from the most favored

er than the rates imposed by the United

from Cuba, and whenever the Govern
ment of Cuba shall enact such immigra-
ton and exclusion laws and shall enter |
into such commercial agreement with the |

rom Cuba so per cent of the rate of duty
1ow levied upon like articles imported |
