THE NEEDS OF CUBA.
1t Is Not Annexation or Free Trade, but
Lower Duties.

O.
Lower Duties.
New York, Aug. all. V. DeAbad
commissioner for the Economic Associa
tion of Cuba, who is at present in thi:
city, says he does not believe the com.
mercial elements of Cuba are desirous
OF establishing free trade tariff relations
with the United States. In the course
OF an interview Mr.. DeAbad said:
''The prospect of the annexation of
Cuba to the United States should make
every reflective business man consider
the question of what effect a political
annexation might have upon the econ
Omic relationships of the island with
the United States.
''In the United States the removal of
duties on Cuban products would be q
deadly blow to the sugar, tobacco and
other agricultural industries. -
"Those who states that Cuba wants
free trade with the United States have
either been deceived or are trying to
deceive the American people. What
Cuba really does want is to harmonize
her interests with those of the United
States. This could be done by remov.
ing from 80 to 40 per cent of the import
duties upon certain productions.
"The present economic conditions of
the island are very bad and there is no
hope for relief until the tariff is changed.
Many tobacco factories have reduced
their output and in many sugar mills
wages will have 10 be decreased to 80
or 40 cents dav in order that the crop
OF 1902 may be placed upon the market.
ut is, OF course, unfair to assume
that revolution makers in all cases
would take advantage of time Of eco-
nomic distress to stir up trouble, yet
state OF brigandage might be induced by
q general poverty stricken condition of
the people which would be serious in its |
"The United States has done Cuba
incalculable benefit by relieving her Of
her great public debt. This debt used |
10 cost about $40, 600, 900 annually, and
was part Of a budget of $24, ,OOO, 900.
Cuban prosperity demands Q reduc-
hon OF import duties in the United
States, but the protectionists here must
not look millionaire and have much
