Some statistics of tho trade between
Ouha and the Atlantic sea ports of the
Uuited States may explain why there
are a vast number Of people in this
country who feel very lively inte-
rest in the political affairs of the
island, and anticipate it's future With
deep concern. The figures are for the
year 1874. aud have Just been made
up ut Havana. Duriug the year, We
bought from CnbA sugars. tobacco and
other articles OF export to the value of
$35, 600. 900. for which we paid mostly
in American gold. From Havana
alone. the exports to this country were
OF the value of $40. .00O. 900. of which
Sl2. coo. 900 were in sugar. and nearly
all the remainder in tobacco. But
while We sent this huge sum of money
to Cuba. she purchased from tho
United States only $l5, 900. 600 worth
of goods and products of all kinds,
leaving balance of trade against Us
OF $40. 600. 900. So long as the pre-
sent anarchy and misrule continues on
the island, there is no prospect Of our
aide of the ledger showing any better
account. and for that reasen it would
be- q fortunate day for Us when any
torn Of tho wheel would restore peace
to Cnba. no matter under what politi-
cal auspices. aud open up a market
for the manufactured articles which a
busy aud industrious population would
need and have. As tue situation now
stands. the United States is the best
customer Cuba has, aud it is American
gold which is very largely paying for
the maintenance of a government
which Americans detest, and contri.
buting to the support of war which
it would be to our eventual interest to
have brought to q speedy termination.
