Negotiations are in progress between the Government of the United

States and the new Prussian Commercial League. There is a project on foot for establishing one common system of com- mercial regulations, and one tariff of duties, to which all nations trading with the States composing the League or Confederation must submit.

A com- mon system of regulations can only be based on universal equality between nations, which is all that is meant in this case by uni- versal freedom."
