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
