SummaryResumen

Based on the provided excerpt, the newspaper reported on a court decision regarding sugar imports from San Domingo compared to those from the Sandwich Islands. The court held that the treaty with San Domingo only pledged against discriminating legislation and did not prevent special concessions like those granted to Hawaii. Furthermore, the court ruled that the Act of Congress authorizing the duties was of general application and, having been passed after the treaty, must prevail in any conflict between laws and treaties.

A partir del fragmento provisto, el diario dio cuenta de un fallo judicial relativo a la importación de azúcares de Santo Domingo en parangón con los procedentes de las islas Sandwich. La corte dictaminó que el tratado con Santo Domingo únicamente comprometía a evitar leyes discriminatorias y no impedía concesiones especiales como las conferidas a Hawái. Resolvió por añadidura el tribunal que la ley del Congreso que autorizaba el cobro de aranceles era de aplicación general y, habiendo sido sancionada con posterioridad al tratado, debía prevalecer en cualquier conflicto entre leyes y convenios.

Hates might have commercial rela

controversy were imported free of

THE COURT HOLDS

r irst, that the ninth article of the

reaty between the United States and

lan Domingo is merely a pledge ef

he contracting parties that there

hould be no discriminating legisla

tion against imported articles of either

country. It was never designed to

prevent special concessions like those

granted Ilawaii, and the clearest lan

guage is necessary to justify the con

clusion that the United States Gov

ernment intended to preclude itself

from such engagements with other

countries, which might become ef

highest importance to our interests.

Second: The act of Congress un

der which the duties in this case were

collected, authorized their exaction.

It was of general application, making

no exception in the favor of the goods

of any country, and passed after the

treaty with the Dominican Republic,

and if there is any conflict between

laws and treaties the former must pre

vail. The country disatisned with the

action of the legislature must address

its complaints to the executive head

of the government, and take measures

which it deems essential to protect its

own interests. When the law is clear

its validity cannot be assailed before

courts for want of conformity with

treaty stipulations.
