SummaryResumen
According to the December 10, 1885 *Austin Weekly Statesman*, commercial treaties signed with Spain and the Dominican Republic, along with unsuccessful overtures from Great Britain, were withdrawn for re-examination upon taking office. The official concluded that endorsing such engagements was inexpedient because they did not cover the entire traffic, required the surrender of large revenues for inadequate considerations—particularly concerning sugar duties—and would create embarrassing questions under favored-nation clauses. Furthermore, the report noted that regulating tariffs by treaty diminishes a government's independent control over its own revenues, which is essential for its safety and welfare.
A tenor del *Austin Weekly Statesman* del 10 de diciembre de 1885, los convenios mercantiles concluidos con España y la República Dominicana, junto con propuestas infructuosas formuladas por Gran Bretaña, fueron retirados del Senado al asumir el nuevo gobierno. La presidencia consideró improcedente respaldar tales instrumentos por no comprender la totalidad de los intercambios, requerir la renuncia a cuantiosos gravámenes sobre el azúcar a cambio de ventajas mezquinas y amenazar con promover embarazosos litigios bajo las estipulaciones de nación más favorecida. Advirtióse además que supeditar las leyes arancelarias a convenios internacionales erosiona la potestad soberana del Estado sobre sus recursos tributarios, salvaguarda de su prosperidad y decoro.

Spain to succor the languishing interests in the
Antillers. Steps were taken to attain these ends
by a treaty of commerce.
A similar treaty wad aiterwarus signed ny tne
Dominican Republic. Subsequently overtures
were made by her Britanic magesty's government
for a like mutual extenson oi commercial inter
course with the British West Indian and South
American dependencies, but without result. On
taking office I withdrew for re examination the
treaties signed with Spain and San Domingo, then
pending before the senate. The result has been to
satisfy me of the inexpediency of endorsing an en
gagements of this character not covering the entire
traffic.
The treaties contemplated the surrender by tne
United States of large revenues for inadequate con
siderations. LTpon sugar alone duties were sur
rendered to an amount far exceeding all tne ad
vantages offered in exchange. Then were it in
tended to relieve our consumers it was evident that
so long as exemption but partially covered our
transportation, such relief would be illusory. To
relinquish a revenue so essential seemed highly
improvident at a time when new and large drains
upon the treasury were contemplated. Moreover
embarrassing questions would have arisen under
the favored nation clauses of treaties with other
nations.
As a further objection, it is evident that the tariff.
regulation by treaty diminishes that independent
control over its own revenues which is ets mtial for
the safety and welfare of any government. An
emergency calling for an increase of taxation may
