Whereas satisfactory proof has been given to me by the Government of
Mexico that no discriminating duties of tonnage or imposts are imposed
or levied in the ports of Mexico upon vessels wholly belonging to
citizens of the United States, or upon the produce, manufactures, or
merchandise imported in the same from the United States, or from any
foreign country:
Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States
of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section four
thousand two hundred and twenty-eight of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, do hereby declare and proclaim that, from and after
the date of this, my proclamation, so long as vessels of the United
States and their cargoes shall be exempt from discriminating duties as
aforesaid, any such duties on Mexican vessels entering the ports of the
United States, or on the produce, manufactures, or merchandise imported
in such vessels, shall be suspended and discontinued, and no longer.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
