SummaryResumen

The newspaper reported that San Domingo (the Dominican Republic) contains sugar and molasses, noting that US imports from there in 1882 totaled $1,417,219, with an unknown maximum capacity. It criticized a proposed reciprocity treaty as a "fraud" promoted by the State Department and President for the benefit of New York refiners, while expressing doubt that the House of Representatives would protest.

El periódico dio cuenta de las existencias de azúcar y mieles en Santo Domingo (República Dominicana), haciendo notar que las importaciones estadounidenses desde allí alcanzaron en 1882 la cifra de 1.417.219 dólares, desconociéndose su potencial productivo máximo. Censuró el proyectado tratado de reciprocidad tildándolo de «artimaña» urdida por el Departamento de Estado y el presidente en exclusivo provecho de los refinadores neoyorquinos, dudando de que la Cámara de Representantes levantara su protesta.

Domingo, it;contaius sugar and molas*

es. The sugar is not to be above No. 16

Dutch standard—a fact to be explained

by the necessities of our refiners, who

need reciprocity treaties in abundance

for the procurement of raw material,

and need the exclusive posscssiou of

our home market for the sugars which

are fit to put on table for use. Sau Do

mingo can supply our refiners with a

good deal of raw sugar—how much we

do not know, as the capacity of the isl

and has never been tested. We im por

ted thence in 1882 3,281,049 pounds,

worth $1.149277, aud enough other mat

tera to make a total importation of $1,

417,219 bat the nrer. of the Domini

can republic ia 20,591 square milea and

of Hayti. at the west end of the island,

about 7000. We would not like to guar

antee the Dominican origiu of ail the

augar we will get free uuder the treaty*

but enongh of Dominican origin can

doubtless be produced uuder the quick

ening spur of free entry to make quite

a handsome profit for the NewYork re

finers.

It is not to be supposed that onr

State Department is drawing np this

new reciprocity fraud without the

knowledge and concurrence of the Pre

sident. Nor, since the fuilure of the

House of Representatives to assert its

constitutional prerogatives on occasion

of the Hawaiian and Mexicau treaties,

can we hope for much of a protest from

that source. We shall have to wait for

a Democratic President to do justice to

the Sooth in this matter—to stop nego

tiating treaties for the free admission

ot sugar, tobacco, rice and other South
