provided they be brought from one State of the Union into another, without touching a Foreign State. The duties on internal commerce and consumption, payable upon the above articles, agreeably to the respective Regulations of the States of the Union, when of inland origin, are not annulled or repealed by this Stipulation. 2. The abovementioned articles shall be also free from transit duty when they pass from one through another State of the Union. On the transit of the articles, 1 to 11 inclusive, however, where a transit duty has already existed, a duty of half a good-groschen per cwt. may be levied; regard being had to the measures of control, which may be found necessary. 3. As the stipulated exemption from duty is, without interfering with mercantile speculations, merely to facilitate as much as possible the intercourse and traffick in the above named articles, within the boundaries of the States of the Union, and to promote the demand for the said productions; the traffick in the articles of corn and pulse, 1 to 11, is placed under the following limitations and regulations, viz: a. That corn only which is exposed for sale at the weekly markets by the Dealers, or by Retailers, which latter are limited to quantities not exceeding 20 cwt. shall be free from all import duty, upon its being imported from one State of the Union into another, when accompanied with Certificates of origin. These Certificates shall be attested, gratis, by the Local Authorities. b. No Certificate of origin shall be required, on the importation of any quantity of corn not exceeding 2 cwt. c. It is left to the option of each State of the Union to regulate the quantities, denoted above by the term cwt. in a and b, with reference to the weights in use in such State. d. Such corn as shall be imported without conforming to the conditions above stated, upon which an exemption from duty is granted, shall be liable to such duties as are legally demanded in each State, on imports, and on transit goods. e. The States of the Union promise reciprocal aid to each other, in detecting and punishing any attempts to evade the duties, by the improper use of Certificates of origin. Between those States of the Union, which have established mutual prior relations, legally and reciprocally admitting greater liberties in the corn trade than are granted by the present Treaty, exclusive regard shall be had to the said prior relations. XV. After the 1st of January, 1829, commercial Travellers belonging to one State of the Union, who, in pursuance of the existing Laws of another State of the Union, are permitted to exhibit samples, or transact any other business in the latter, shall not be liable during their stay therein to any other obligations or imposts than the commercial Travellers of any other State not belonging to the Union. XVI. The States of the Union reserve to themselves, respectively, the right of concluding Separate Commercial Treaties, as well between each other as with Foreign States, without the assent of the whole Union. It is, however, understood, that, in such Separate Treaties, nothing shall be contained in contravention of the obligations by which each State has bound itself to the Union by the present Treaty, or shall at any future period so bind itself. Separate Treaties between contiguous States of the Union, tending to facilitate the intercourse between them, shall be regarded as consistent with the object of the Union. Of every such Separate Treaty, concluded by one State of the Union with another, the other States shall be apprized, at latest, at the period when the same comes into operation. XVII. Every advantage in respect to import, export, transit, sale, and consumption duties, granted by a State of the Union to a State not belonging to the Union, shall, from the same moment, be considered as granted to every other State of the Union, which has either already granted, or is ready to grant, a similar advantage in return. XVIII. All general measures relative to the Union must be decided by the unanimous consent of the States concerned. The same consent must also be given to reprisals or retaliations on the part of the whole Union, as also to such Negotiations and Treaties, as the Union may consider it advisable to enter into, for the promotion of trade and commerce, with Foreign States not belonging to the Union, and which must be conformable to the general principles of the present Treaty. XIX. The Stipulations of this Treaty are not intended to alter, or supersede, such enactments as are contained in existing Treaties, in relation to the free trade and navigation of Rivers;-the said Stipulations, referring only to an intercourse by land, and not applying either to the trade or navigation of the Rivers, or the Sea, cannot consequently affect the Treaties relating thereto. XX. The Consuls appointed to reside in Foreign States by the respective Governments of the Union, shall be directed to uphold and protect the interests of the Subjects of all the other States of the Union, equally with the interests of the Subjects of their own Governments. The costs and charges thereby incurred, shall be defrayed by each Government for its own Subjects. XXI. In order to facilitate trade and commercial calculations, with respect to weights, measures, and monies, by which the duties on transit goods are to be levied, comparative Tables of the same shall be drawn up and published. XXII. As the present Treaty is concluded under the express reservation of its Ratification on the part of the High Contracting Parties, the same shall be transmitted by each and all of the Plenipotentiaries to their respective Sovereigns for that purpose, and the Ratifications shall be exchanged within 6 weeks from the date hereof. In witness whereof, the above Treaty has been signed by all the said Plenipotentiaries in Conference, and sealed with their Arms. Done at Cassel, the 24th September, 1828. (L.S.)
