Of first importance. Subject “Ranchos reales. Aranceles”. Argues against the P. Guardian of San Fernando’s claim that the Rancho Real harms the San Francisco mission herds, and quotes himself: “No soy yo de dictamen q.e se coharte la libertad de comprar y vender los frutos segun su abundancia o escases, pues como quiera q.e se ha de suponer q.e todas las mis.s componen un cuerpo q.e podria dar la ley q.e gustara a los consumidores, pareció acertado precaver tan funestas consecuencias con el arreglo de aranceles.” Tariffs to lapse when the peninsula is better peopled; anti-monopoly is what obliges him to keep the royal ranchos. Mission San Francisco at end of 97: “710 almas incluso 50 huidos”, 29 born, 110 dead, “15 7/100 por ciento” over the 4 years observed. Spans n425-n426.
