SummaryResumen
The Columbian reported that a treaty of commerce was signed by the Dominican Republic following steps taken to revive interest in the Antilles. Upon taking office, the administration withdrew the pending treaties with Spain and Santo Domingo from the Senate for re-examination, concluding that such agreements were inexpedient because they surrendered large revenues on items like sugar for inadequate returns, would provide only illusory relief to consumers, and risked creating complications under favored-nation clauses.
*The Columbian* consignó la suscripción de un tratado de comercio por la República Dominicana al amparo de iniciativas concebidas para reanimar el interés en las Antillas. Al asumir el poder, la nueva administración retiró del Senado los convenios pendientes con España y Santo Domingo para su reexamen, resolviendo que tales pactos resultaban perjudiciales por sacrificar cuantiosas rentas fiscales en artículos como el azúcar a cambio de exiguos provechos, proporcionar una rebaja aparente a los consumidores y suscitar enredos diplomáticos derivados de las cláusulas de nación más favorecida.
