( In thIs event , If the secretary carrie ! out his policy oC retaliation , Presltent I Cle\'elanll will Issue w1 a proclamation closing American ports to protucts of Spnln. The frsl effect of this would bo lo shut out tIme enormous shipments of raw sugar which Cuba makes m to this counlry. In am cia I circles It Is s aid thnt Cuba furnIshes seven-elghlhs oC all the raw sugar usell In American refneries , The other eighth comes from Louisiana and HawaI. h but It Is said that I would be Im- possible to mallo up this seven-elghlhs now drawn from Cuba. I Is asserted , therefore , by those In no way identified with or partial to time sugar relnerles lhal the retaliation , would cut them oft from their supplies and close lhem up , lhrowlng 20,000 employes out or worl.

In levying duties Spain arranges countries In I two columns. The first column Includes tt Imoo . who have not entered into satisfactory t reaty arrangements with Spain. Until re- centy trzl was the only I country emi the globe I which Spain had put In this column , al the other countries being In the "secomid column , " which Incudes those having antis- sats- factory treaties. The United States :10w Joins j Brazil In Spain's "first column , " anti thus t slands apart frm all other countries In the commercial bonefls Spain grants The Immediate effect of Spain's policy , bias already proved disastrous to the American trade In four , and this trade has passed ai- m est exclusIvely Into the hnlIs of Canada. Under the old reciprocity arrangement with Spain , American flour was shipped to Cuba i n great quantities. Bnt when the United Slales tariff raised the duty on Cuban sugar Spain responded by raising the respollo duty on Amer- lan l flour , The "first column" duty on flourw , Is i $4,7 a barrel , whie the "sccond column" Is i $4. As Canada Is In this second column"e , she enjoys an ndvantuge of 75 cents a barrel on four , and this has proved ample to allow Canada to wrest the Cuban four trade away fs rom the United Slates. In authoritative sources , Il Is said a Queston has been rolsed as to time rlvht , of the president to Issue I a retaliatory proclamnlon against Spain such as Secretary Gresham has threatened This proclamaton , If made , would bo under a law oC 1890 , which authorizes retaliation relnlatou against countries making unjust dscrlmlna- tons t against the United States. But Spain agnlnst countries maldng unjust dlscrlnlna- ton : she argues her tariff Is arranged In two columns , according to whether countries are friendly or unfriendly to her , and leaves tIle eountrle3 to choose their own place. The r ecent American tarll putting sugar on the sugr dutiable list had the effect of placing this county in Spain's "first column" without any I ntentiopal dIsciminaton on her part. Un- der these cIreumstarces It Is urged that Secret ry Grsllam , las no authority to Invoke I - yoke the retaliatory law of 1890 The con- ( ending views are now being urged betwi Minister TaYlor and members of the Spanish , cabinet , and definite results are expected this we It _ _ _ _ _ I'OOLDiO HILL IN TIlE SENATE .
