The Conservative, 1901-11-21

The provinces of Havana, Matanzas
an Santa Clara are almost entirely de-
voted to the cultivation Of sugar cane.
The boast that ultimately they will
be able to supply the world with all
the sugar it needs is probably an exag-
geration. But more acres are constant
ly planted; without being replanted
they can produce new crops for ten
consecutive years, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that Cuba will soon raise more
sugar than it ever did in the past. AS
the largest consumers we are in the
position greatly to stimulate produc-
tion by reducing or abolishing the
duty. Since 1876, when we conclud-
ed a reciprocity treaty with Hawaii,
the export of sugar from those islands
The Conservative, 1901-11-21
CUBA LIBRE.

Formerly stunned alike by tourists
and commercial travellers, Havana is
getting to be more attractive than
Barcelona and promises to become the
Nice of a new Western Riviera. Poor
concentrates, impoverished by the
cruel practices of Gen. Wyler, have
either been set to work making roads
or were intrusted with implements
and cattle to till for their own benefit
small farms. AS consequence, fields
devastated by war begin to TEEN with
sugar cane and tobacco The tillable
soil of the island, under actual culti-
walton, is inconsiderable as yet, but
the area is almost as great as it ever
has been.
The expenses have chiefly been met
by carefully collected imposts, the
onerous export duties being at last
abolished. The fourteen million dol
lars annually derived from this source
have been distributed in about the fol-
lowing proportion: For sanitation, 25
per cent; for municipalities, Is per
cent; for instruction and administra-
tion of justice, 10 per cent for chari
ties and public works, 10 per cent; for
guarding rural districts and suppress
ing brigandage, 10 per cent.
During twelve months in 1895 Cuba
imported merchandise for the value Of
$61, 443, 1884, 65, and exported, inclus-
i've of an extraordinary large crop Of
sugar for $11O, 2s5, O20.31. The foreign
trade of the island for six months,
ending June 80, 1900, consisted Of i'm
ports for $37, 321, 366, exports for $50, :
972,O31; ending on June 80, 1901, it
consisted of imports for $34, 129, $50,
exports for $42, 7O7, IA.
Of sugar the island has produced:
The Conservative, 1901-11-21

600, 600 lbs worth $21, 1893, 900 in 1899.
The value of land suitable for sugar
plantation has always been greater in
the densely populated island of Porto
Rico, where it sold as high as $50 an
acre, than in Cuba, where equally fer
tile ground went begging for $S an
acre. Sugar from Porto Rico is now
admitted free unless the United States
sugar, the difference in the values of
land on the two islands will become
greater, and Porto Rico will continue
to thrive at the expense of Cuba
Porto Rico contains about 5000 square
miles, population Of 953, 243, or 265
persons on square mile. Cuba has a
population Of 1,572,797 and Al,
square miles, or thirty eight inhabit-
ants to one square mile.
If any excuse could be made for in
dulging in the use of tobacco, it is
the divine fragrance of cigar made
of Havana leaf. The finest, called
"Vuelta Abajo,' is produced exclus-
lively in the province of Pinar del Rio.
A never -ceasing demand keeps up
prices and renders the production
lucrative, so that a careful grower is
rewarded for his pains by a profit of
25 per cent. The entire production
of tobacco on the island was in 1867,
375, 900 bales, against 460, 900 bales in
1s99-19OO.
Values of exports of tobacco and
manufactures thereof amounted in
1866 to $24, ,O47, S41; 1899 1900, $21, :
712, 435; eleven months of 19OO-O1. $27, :
348, 445. While the exports of leaf to-
bacco have increased, chiefly to Key
West and New York, exports of manu-
factures thereof have diminished.
Against $50, 600, 600 cigars exported in
1889 less than 1876, 600, 900 were ex-
ported in 1899.
A large portion of the tobacco and
cigar business is controlled by two
combinations: The Henry Clay Book
Company, an English syndicate, with
capital of 81, 900, 900; the American
Havana Commercial Co., with SO, 600, :
90 capital. Other important firms are
the German of H. Upman & Go. and
the English Partagas Go.
The iron ore, containing nearly two
thirds of metallic iron, is chiefly ex-
ported to Philadelphia. Last year the
principal mines produced: The Jur-
aqua Iron Company, 200 tons
Spanish American, for the American
Steel Company, 293,00 tons. De-
clared values of the exports were
For 1899, 1856, 900 tons. worth $5O6, 997
for 1900, 4O9,S tons, worth $514, 75O.
Values of some exports have consider
ably fallen off: Fruit, in 1866 30,
The Conservative, 1901-11-21

Nearly million arrobas were export
ed in 1916. She does not produce now
enough to satisfy home consumption,
since it can be raised cheaper else
where.
Exports could be increased of tim
Der, asphaltnm and mineral ores other
than iron, if their production were
stimulated Rates for the use of
money, rule Oh the island, in cities at
6 per cent to per cent for bankers
loans, at per cent to 8 per cent on
bond and mortgage secured by i'm
proved real estate, the value of which
has advanced, and from 12 to 20 per
cent per annum on plantations in the
rural districts. Titles to this kind of
property are of questionable value
laws which prohibit foreclosures of
farm mortgage have often been en-
acted and again were enforced in 1897.
They begin now to be partially col
lectible, but to borrow money on the
security of plantations is as difficult
as ever.
Cubans, Spaniards and Germans
control the banking and whoslesale
business. The retail business is in
the hands of Spaniards, who charge a
pIouC VI w pei CeuG, dHl give lOuS
credit. Cubans are accustomed to pay
literally for it. Some attempts have
been made to introduce the system of
American department stores'' on
cash basis but they did not succeed.
Since the Treaty of Paris cancelled
the bonded debt of $500, 600. 900, held
in Spain, the island is free Of debt.
Municipal debts (Havana, about $1O,-
600, 000) are comparatively small
There are three political parties on
the island, who profess the following
opinions: Republicans are in favor
Of absolute Cuban independence. Un-
ion democrats, comprising the conser-
| vative elements. wish for United
States protectorate. Nationalists vac
cilate between these two extremes.
| The Platt amendment to the new Gu
ban constitution, by which Cuban in
| dependence is practically abandoned
for a United States protectorate, was
at first violently opposed by politi-
clans solicitous for a semblance of
freedom and the continued prosperity
of the country, the majority, compris
ing even some of the radical leaders,
finally voted for this amendment. 1t
must be admitted, however, that our
military rule is not popular. Our sold
| leIS udy De TeSpeCCeu, DuG CIloy are
feared by the ignorant, and generally
hated. We have reason to be proud
of the achievements of the officers we
sent to govern the Cubans. They may
be grateful themselves for improve
ments that have been made, neverthe-
less they chafe under our military
regulations and consider them harsh.
Few of our representatives there have
learned the art Of diplomacy ;the Span
ish language is not familiar to them.
Juan Gualberto Gomez, a radical,
who, though Of African descent, is a
most influential leader, has been quot
ed as saying that he preferred Spanish
slavery to American rule.
When the excellent constitution is
put into practice, independence per-
manently established and stability
assured, we may, by careful consider
alton of Cuban rights become popular;
