has made sixty-two trips in his craft
to Cuba and feels more strongly than
Senator Hale does about the indepen-
dence of Cuba. After the treaty of
1856 he took a cargo of jerked beef to
Cuban port and the indignant Span
iards not only refused to let his YES
sci enter their harbor. but took her in
laEd and ran her on the rocks. The
captain has claim before Congress

seeded and a blockade of the Missis-

the Tornado to New York Harbor,

excess Of exports, beyond the most
sanguine expectations under the cir
cumstances but no greater. nor as
great for that matter, as should be
had by nation like this, paying mil
lions upon millions in interest to for
cign investors and spending many
more millions in travel abroad than
the foreign travellers spend in this
country. That our exports were more
than half a billion more during the
Harrison than during the Cleveland
administration shows the, utter 'absur-
dity of this attempt to credit the fine
showing Of exports the past year to the
ubiquitous deficit tariff that has pro-
duced nothing but trouble since it was
first seriously proposed.
