CUBA AND RECIPROCITY.

| The Advantages of Reciprocity with tho
United States Being Forcibly Felt by the
| Commercial Classes Of Cuba-.sYou Give
Us Bread, and We Give You sugar" Is
| Their Cry.
| WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-An address
and resolutions passed by the Havana
Chamber of Commerce favoring reci-
procity with the UnitedStates have been
received at the State Department. The
address is to the Minister Of the Colo
| nies and treats of the reform of the
| Spanish Tariff laws. The financial
condition of Cuba is referred to as one
which is 'far from being prosperous,
and which may become even worse than
it now is if, as is possible, the principle
Of reciprocity is definitely adopted in
| the Tariff of the United States, with
which Nation our commercial relations
are so important, and if the changes
made in our tariffs are not such as to
correspond with that reform"
After the Spanish-Cuban customs
laws have been reviewed and certain
changes in them made, it is stated to be
the unanimous opinion of the CONNER
cial bodies OF Cuba that as most of the
markets of Europe are closed to Cuba's
principal product-sugar-sin Euro
pean countries are also sugar produc ers;
! and, as the facts are constantly prov
ing, the greatest market for Cuban
goods is the nation whose ports are at
our very door. The United States is
to-day the regulator of the commercial
market, just as England is of the money
market. The Lawmakers of the United
States, tho address declares: now, by
imposing heavy duties upon the manu-
factured goods of Europe favor the de-
velopment of their own industries, and
have no cause to fear reprisals, as
European nations have to fear them
from each other because such reprisals
would have to apply to cereals.
meats, petroleum, etc, which are the
very articles that those nations
absolutely require. Your excelency,"
the address adds, has a proof of tn is
incontestable truth in Spain itself,
which is par excellence a wheat-produc-
ing country, and which, in spite of that
fact, is obliged to make good the de-
! fciency of its own wheat crop by i'm
portation from the United States. The
question is resolved to a proposition to
the United States like this: You give
US bread, and we give you sugar"
The address urges upon the Ministe T
of Colonies the Importance of promptly
meeting the situation by reciprocity

cially is this urged to keep abreast OF

tage of the opening for market in the

SNAPS FROM THE CAMERA.

STEREosCoPIc photography is again
becoming popular.
DURING the recent Photographic con-
test held by Frank Leslie's Weekly over
five thousand prints were received from
amateurs Another contest is now an
nounced, to close December 1, and open

thousand dollars will be distributed in

RUBY light for Photographic purposes,
in spite of all that has been said in fa-
vor of orange green, continues to hold
it's own in the dark room, although
many who use it complain of it's effect
on their eyes. A remedy for this has
been found in the introduction of pane
of ground glass between the eyes and
the ruby.
A SIMPLE camera has been produced
for taking panoramic photographs on
transparent films. The pulling of a

A FEW English societies are endeavor-
ing to persuade the manufacturers OF
lenses to agree upon uniform stand
ard of size and number of threads for
lens fianges, SO that lenses of different
makes will fit one flange and save the
bother of carrying several different lens
boards. Such a system would surely
commend itself to all amateurs in this
country.
AN English photographer claims to
have obtained a photograph in which
the natural colors were reproduced when
the exposure was made by accident just

that electricity has to do with photo
graphing colors.

HUNTSVILLE ALA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1890.

sooner the South calls in its Wheelers
the better for it. The sooner it stops
talking old-time politics and before-the
war issues, the better for it. The
sooner it addresses itself fairly in kind
spirit to the friendly advances of the
North, that comes with capital and
prosperity and progress in its hands,
the better for it.
There is no bloody shirt That gar
ment has been passed over to the
political rag man, so far as the North is
concerned, and it only appears when a
Wheeler, or Southerners like him, yank
it out of the garbage and fling it to the
breeze. The young New South, that is
eager-eyed for progress and enterprise
and the accumulation of wealth, is un-
der the curse of the leadership of these
old ante-bellum Bourbons, who live in
dreams of what was and ought to be, in
stead Of cheerfully facing what is and
what is bound to be.
The feeling of the North toward the
South was never more kind or brotherly
Day after day the Northern newspapers
print prominently, and comment upon
enthusiastically the records of the
wonderful development and growing
wealth and prosperity of the South.
The great free advertising medium of
the South is the Northern press.
And this condition will continue in
spite of all that Wheeler and the old
political hacks can say or do, in spite of
the declarations of the Birmingham
Neacs, and such radical papers, that the
North is s'steeped in hatred of the
South" and desires it's destruction. The
Birmingham Ne,cs has thanked God
that ''New England as political fort
is dead,'' and expressed hope that
foreign countries would SO retaliate for
| Congressional legislation as to destroy
the commerce and industries of the
North. Only fool or man false to
! his own section and his own people
could give expression to such wish.
But the old-time politicians of sec
tions are one thing, the people another,
and the steady march of immigrat tion
and capital into the South will con-
tinue, and, before the growing wealth
and greatness and prosperity of the
South, that is coming swiftly and
irresistibly, the Wheelers and persons
like him will be obliged to retire and
quit their m-building with political
mud and ante-bellum bullrushes.

In observing different towns and
noting the growth and how ii varies,
we are often struck with amaZement,
and wonde: why there is such diff
ference. One thing that goes far to
make up this difference il seen in
the actions Of their citizens. In Il
dead town every man j. looking out
for self and caring nothing tor the
town and its growth. His sits in
his store or other place Of business
and waits for his trade or for "some-
thing 20 turn up" II anything is
proposed he L. a Kicker unless he
sees how he il 10 make a few dollars
out Of it and no one else can posi-
bic make anything. On this princi-
pie ne turns down every public en-
terprise or Improvement. lie cries
"too much tax, etc"
How is it in live, progressive
town? The business men are active
and stirring. They are wide awake
and public spirited. They work to-
gether tor the public good, knowing
that united effort brings individual
prosperity. They advertise their
business and their town and keep on
| the alert ever ready TO extend their
! territory and increase their trade.
They try to help instead OF endeavor-
ing to break down each other. If
they can suit customer they do it
at once. If they cannot they try to
enable their neighbOr to sell him.
They encourage their home papers
and in fact all home enterprises.
Talk with them, and the chief bur-
| den Of their conversation is their
town and how to make it the best
and liveliest place anywhere. Pro.
pose any enterprise and the question
is not how many dollars can we get
out Of it in six months, but will it
tend to promote the growth and
progress Of the town? Will it bring
more people? Wilt give more en-
ployment to those already here? You
do not hear any class Directing to
any public enterprise because some
| body else started it or because il
will help one class more directly
than another, for they realize that to
help one business interest in a live
town is help to all. To help the
property holder is to help the labor.
ing man, and vice versa. Give the
laboring man work to do and the
capitalist must reap benefit. Help
the property holder and he must
