SummaryResumen
The *Gloucester County Democrat* reported on December 10, 1885, that a commercial treaty had been signed by the Dominican republic following steps taken to establish less obstructed traffic with Cuba and Porto Rico. The newspaper also noted that subsequent overtures for a similar mutual extension of commercial intercourse were made by Her Britannic Majesty's government regarding British West Indian and South American dependencies, but these efforts yielded no result. Additionally, the excerpt urged Congress to recast appropriations for the diplomatic and consular service to ensure adequate salaries while returning notarial and official fees to the treasury.
El *Gloucester County Democrat* dio cuenta el 10 de diciembre de 1885 de la firma de un tratado de comercio por la República Dominicana tras los pasos encaminados a franquear el tráfico con Cuba y Puerto Rico. Consignó asimismo la publicación que gestiones posteriores formuladas por el gobierno de Su Majestad Británica para ensanchar recíprocamente el comercio con las dependencias británicas antillanas y sudamericanas resultaron infructuosas. Por último, instó al Congreso a reformular el presupuesto del servicio diplomático y consular para dotarlo de haberes decorosos, restituyendo los derechos notariales y de cancillería al tesoro público.

duties, other similar treaties were initiated bv
my predecessor. Recognizing the need of
less obstructed traffic with Cuba and Porto
Rico, and met by the desire of Spain to suc
cor languishing interest in the Antilles, steps
were taken to attain these ends by a treaty of
commerce. A similar treaty was afterward
signed by the Dominican republic. Subse
quently overtures were made by her Britan
nic Majesty's government for a like mutual
extension of commercial intercourse with the
British West Indian and South American de
pendencies; but without result
THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE.
I earnestly urge that Congress recast the j
appropriations for the maintenance of the di
plomatic und consular service on a footing
commensurate with the importance of our
national interests. At every post where a
representative is necessary, the salary should
be so graded as to permit him to live with
comfort. With the assignment of ade
salaries the so-called notarial extra
official fees, which our officers abroad
are now permitted to treat as personal
perquisites, should be done away with. Every
act requiring the certification and seal of the
officer should be taxable at schedule rates,
and the fee therfore'returned to the treasury.
By restoring these revenues to the public use
the consular service would be self-supporting,
even with a liberal increase of the present
low salaries. In further prevention of abuses
a system of consular inspection should be
instituted.
