Some years ago. in consequence of a

were established in Russia on several
articles OF American production custom
duties on higher scale than those levied
on the same articles when imported
from other countries.
Discrimination Is Ended.
His majesty the Emperor of Russia
has commanded me TO inform the Presi
dent of the United States that he has
been pleased to order the discontinuance
of the Laying of such higher duties oil
American products, in order that hence
forth the American manufacturers should
pay the same duties as importers from
other countries"

that the war is over the commercial in
terests of the United States must of
necessity work hand in hand in the new
economic problems of the far east.
preliminary to this alliance we must
foster an interchange of the products of
the two countries. We produce things
that you want. and do not know but we
need your products, and wish to know
