OUR TRADE WITH THE sPANlARD

The balance Very Largely Against Us Ex-
ccpt with Spain Herself.
Treasury officials, at the request of the
state department, are engaged in collect
ing statistics showing the volume of the
trade that would be affected by n repcti-
ton or his action in 1886 by the president
II appears that the Spanish colonies would
get much the worst of it. The tables
show that during the fiscal year ended
June 30 last Cuba alone exported to the
United States goods to the aggregate
valuc of s115 619, 2t1 and took from us
goods to the amount of only SIG, s5je237.
Porto Rica sent us in the same time goods
valued ut So ,S5, ga and received in return
goods to the amount of g. 795 GAG. With
the direct trade with Spain the case was
reversed, for our exports to that country
amounted 10 s13. ia. 076, against imports
amounting to 81, .5i SO.
The tariff differences between Spain and
the United States are being watched with
interest by other sugar producing coun-
tries, particularly Hawaii and Brazil, as
the execution of Secretary Gresham's
threat to discriminate against Cuban pro
ducts will create heavy demand for raw
sugar, now brought almost exclusively
from Cuba Mr.. Hastings, in charge Of
the Hawaiian legation, is an interested
observer Of the Spanish negotiations. The
Hawaiian sugar planters have been CIV
ing close attention to cuba of late, many
Of them visiting the island and studying
the Cuban processes of making sugar.
One Of them wrote Mr.. Hastings re-
Gently Of the antiquated methods prevail
ing, and another Hawaiian planter pointed
out to him that the Cubans got but rs tons
OF cane and two tons of actual sugar to
the acre. The Hawaiians thought that
double this yield should be obtained and
that Cuban plantations could not exist If
cut off from the United States market
Being only 100 miles from this country
they dcpcnt entirely on it for disposing of
their great product. Hawaii would expect
to benefit if Cuba were shut out.
The Hawaiians expect soon to conclude
European treaties. Minister Thurston
has written Hastings briefly from Lisbon
to the effect that his trip to Spain is prov
ing entirely satisfactory. The msnister
has visited many European countries for
the purpose of inducing them to renew
their treaties of commerce and amity
with the new republic of the Pacific. He
also sought to make arrangements for i'm
grafton to Hawaii Of the better classes Of
the laborers.
