Description
For two hundred years all trade with the Indies passed through Seville, then Cadiz, under a monopoly that enriched a few houses and starved the colonies of everything else. In 1778 Charles III abolished it: thirteen peninsular ports and more than twenty American ones were opened to each other, with a tariff schedule printed here article by article. Trade multiplied within a decade. So did the colonial merchant class that would, within another generation, decide it no longer needed Spain. This is the text itself, tariffs and all — the legal instrument of the Bourbon reforms, and one of the documents that made independence economically thinkable.
