"The simple figures of the exports and Imports of Germany with the I tilted of the treaty of 18S4, which extended the States do not give a true picture of tho reciprocity treaty originally made with ' actual balance of trade.

In everv tariff war which lasts for any length of time the benefits, It there are any, fall Into the hands of a third party. In this case, nothing could be more advantageous to the commerce of Great Britain, and entirely at the expense of the Fatherland. Many ardent advocates of the propos ed tariff point tor the success of the United States tariff as the bjst argu ment in their favor. It must bo re membered, however, that there may be a great difference between the workings of such a tariff In various countries. There is no law of economics which will Justify a tariff on food stuffs. Duties end the United States may improve tne entrance to said naruor and do all otn ar things needful to the purpose afore said." The subject of this clause required a good deal of discussion which was car ried on partly In Interviews and finally Jn writing. The question In debate was whether the new clause, tho one above quoted would survive the treaty, a point which Judge Estce seems to have settled in his own mind. Secre tary Bayard on the other hand wrote to H. A. P. Carter, the Hawaiian Envoy j)d Mtninster Plenipotentiary at Washington, under date of September 23. 18S7: "The amendment relating to the har linr of Pearl River wns ndonted tn tts Executive Session by the Senate, and I levled 011 nrolucts necessary for human Have no other means of nrrlvlnir nt lta """"smnem-uie very luei wnicn sup intent and meaning than the words na-, ports tne enRncs f Hfe-mean increase tnrnllv imnort ln the cost of production and restrlc- "No ambiguity or obscurity in that tlon ,D the power of consumption ' 'amendment is . observable and I can j " discern there In no subtraction from!
