New China Trade Treaty Hopes to Boost American Enterprise
Special Telegram from Washington reports that a new U S China treaty under negotiation could greatly lift American commerce with China by opening the market to silver and other U S goods. China might buy large quantities of silver from the United States, potentially aiding the domestic silver industry and easing the silver question for miners. The article notes China’s interest in developing trade with the United States while avoiding colonial ambition, and contrasts it with European rivals. The piece also covers Judge Holman of Indiana proposing broad retrenchment to reduce government expenses and support an income tax, arguing current high spending stems from wealthy interests. It discusses tariff reform rhetoric, the shift from specific to ad valorem duties, and criticisms of the customs administration under the Fifty-first Congress.
