Of imports into Mexico through the “Free Zone,” John A. Bonnet, United States Vice Consul in charge at Cludad Porfirio Diaz, reports as follows: The “Free Zone” is a strip of Mexican territory twelve miles broad, extending along the entire frontier between the United: States and Mexico. It was first established as far as Matamoras in 1865, when goods were admitted free of duty. In 1885 it was extended along the entire border, and duties amounting to about eleven per cent of the national dutles, in- cluding fees for certificates, were as- sessed. A reduction of eighty-nine per cent in duties admits of considerable fm- portation of goods from Europe, 'which cross the United States in bond and then come into direct competition with Ameri- can goods in the stores of the “Free Zone. ‘The imports of European manufactures consist chiefly of dry goods of a high class, among which are woolens from England, silks France and cutlery from Germany. It is/| ciaimed by the European fmporters that European prices are lower, the guality of the goods better and the terths easier (this Jatter is certainly true) than ours. But fhe only advantage ¥ European over American ir' the free zone is that the the free zone,. for. which reason no factories therein. ; i B e “ He who expresses his willingness to ‘woman s % T OVER [STAT[!
