Tariff Xegotlatfoiis
The new tariff law In section 2, re
specting the maxJmuja and minimum
tariffs of the United States, which pro
visions came Into effect on April 1,
1510. Imposed upon the president the
responsibility of determining priofto
that date whether or not any undue
discrimination existed again$t the Un
ited State and it products in any
country In the world with which we
ustalned commercial relations, '
In tie case of severs 1 mnntriM nt
apparent undue discrfmlnation acalnst
American commerce were found to
exist These discrimination were re
moved by negotiation. Prior to April
1. 1S10 when the maximum tariff was
to come into operation with respect
to Importations from all those conn
trie In whose favor no proclamation
applying the minimum tariff should
be Issued by the preslden. one hun
dred and thirty-four such proclamation
was issued.
This series of proclamations em
braced tie entire commercial world
and hence tie maximum tariff of the
United States, could be given univer
sal application, thus testifying to the
satisfactory condition of our trade re
lations with foreign countries.
Marked advantages to the commerce
of tie United State were obtained
through these tariff settlement. In
it general operation this section of
tie tariff law has thus far proved a
guarantee of continued commercial
peace.
The policy of broader' MTiA trine!
trade relations with tie dominion nf
Canada, which was Initiated in fh i-
Justment of tie maximum and mini
mum provision of the tariff art of
August, 1S09. ha proved mutually ben-
enciai. it justice further effort for
the readjustment of the commercial
relation of the two countrie. The
reciprocation oa tie part of tie Do
minion government of tie sentiment
which was expressed by this govern
ment was followed ra October by the
suggestion that it would be glad to
have negotiation resumed. In ac
