Real cedula of 8 April 1734: the reglamento of the Philippines trade with New Spain

The decree that lifted the ban on Chinese silks at Acapulco and fixed the Manila permission at 500,000 pesos out and a million back, printed in full in the Mexican treasury's own compilation. The reasons the crown records for reversing itself are the interesting part: the duties on those goods paid the subsidy sent to the Philippines and the Marianas, and the poor of New Spain wore Chinese cloth because they could not afford Spanish cloth.
