Cdbap Trade Wiped Odt by Wat.
Decrease of Over Fifty Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-A signifi-
cant report on trade with Cuba from
1887 to 1897, prepared by Chief Hitch
cock, of the foreign markets section Ct
the agricultural department, has been
promulgated by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson. The statistics show very
clearly the effect of hostilities in Cuba
upon the commercial intercourse Of the
United States and that island. During
the fiscal year 1896 the total value of
our Cuban trade amounted to only S47,-
54S,6 $40, as compared with $102, 1854, 204 in
1893, the year preceding the breaking
out Of the war. This was falling Off
of more than so per cent in three years.
Returns already available for the cur
rent fiscal year indicate still further
decline, the records for the nine months
ending March 81, 1897, placing the to-
tai value of the trade for that period
as low as $14,926,817. At this rate the
figures for the fiscal year 1897 will
hardly reach $20,000,000, or less than
one-fifth the value recorded for 1893.
During the early years of the present
decade our Cuban trade had received
a material impetus, the years 1887 to
1893, inclusive, showing uninterrupted
gains, and, but for the opening of the
war, still greater expansion, 1t is pre-
dicted, probably would have followed.
AS 1t is, however, commercial inter-
change between the United States and
Cuba has been very largely abridged.
Continuing, the report says:
Our imports from Cuba have gen
orally been much in excess Of our ex-
ports to that island, the balance Of
trade being decidedly against the Unit
ed States. During the ten years, 1887
1896, the value of the merchandise i'm
ported averaged $59, 16S, $50 per annum,
and that of the merchandise exported
only $14,017, 572 per annum. In 1896 the
imports fell to $40017, 1870; exports to
$780, $780, The remarkable decline in
our trade with Cuba from July 1, 1896,
to March 81, 1897, occurred chiefly in
the case of the imports, the total value
of the merchandise imported during the
nine months amounting to only $8,841,-
S31, or little more than the value Of the
exports for the same period, the latter
being returned at $6,0849S6 OF the
merchandise imported into the United
States from Cuba fully 80 per cent is
agricultural Sugar, the most impor-
tant of the products imported from
Cuba amounted in value to more than
rs per cent Of the entire imports for
the decade
The report contains numerous tables
showing in detail the extent to which
the importations of all kinds have
steadily declined since the outbreak of

the view that the South wanted any

the spurious tariff doctrine brought
there by Mr.. Cleveland's tools Turn
ing to his associates, he exclaimed that
they had set the example by giving to
the country in 1894 disreputable pro-
tective tariff bill.
Mr. Stewart made a general argu-
ment In support of the policy of
duty on raw material. He asserted
that any other course was contrary to
the last Democratic platform. Mr..
Stewart said the money question was
the real question. Mr.. Jones (Ark)
criticised the entire flax schedule as
designed to place a heavy burden on
the poor who used the low grades of
goods, and relieve the burdens on the
high grades used by the people Of
wealth. He moved to reduce the rate

Mr.. Hawthorne, like scores of other
citizens, thinks the council has been
delaying the matter longer than is nee
essary, and is now anxious to see the
other course, which is open, pursued for
starting the commission. So far as
pushing it along is concerned, the PEG
pie are doing that. Voters are signing
the petition wherever they have an
opportunity for doing so. They figure
that no harm can come of it, and a
great deal of good may result. If a

framed, the city need not accept it I'M

brilliant scene. The guest snumbered

close upon midnight. In responding
to the toast Colonial Premiers' Mr..
