The Recent Reciprocity Treaty With San Domingo of Great Importance to the United States.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—For several years past the San Domingo republic has been maintaining in its tariff a free list of articles for the special encouragement of its agricultural industries. By the terms of its recent reciprocity with the United States this free list was to be abolished for all countries, excepting the United States. When the reciprocity treaty went into effect in accordance with this agreement the president of San Domingo, under date of August 8th, published a decree abolishing this free list and restoring all the articles named on it to the rate of duties fixed in the general tariff, which is an average of 60 per cent. ad valorem. By this action the reciprocity treaty is greatly increased in value for the United States. The articles on this free list embraced, among other things:
All classes of machinery, tools and implements for the development of agricultural and industrial establishments. tallow and oil for machinery, guano and manures, zinc and galvanized iron, cooperages and sacks for sugar, railroad material and equipments, barbed wire and coal.
