Duty on hides threatens Argentine tariff clash
Washington reports no progress on a reciprocity treaty under the McKinley act for hides from the Argentine Republic. If no agreement by January 1, 1892, the President must suspend free hides and impose a 14.5 cent per pound duty. Argentine minister Quesada has no instructions pending a deal. Argentina relies on trade with Europe and Britain, not the United States. The article analyzes trade flows, showing Argentina’s exports to the US are dominated by hides and carpet wool, with limited American manufacture imports and a small US share in Argentine leather and wool trades.
