From the above It appears that about three
fourths of the sugar carried from Cienfuegos
was taken by foreign vessels. The greater part
Of the sugar shipped from Matanzas. Cardenas,
Sagua and Cabarien, amounting TO ISZiJpb
bags was shipped under Norwegian, German
and British flags Cuban sugar FOR export dur
ing the year 1901 amounted approximately to
3 500 900 bags sent the United States. and
$500 900 bags of tins amount were carried by
foreign vessels
These statements are presented in order TO
show the present condition Of the shipping trade
of Cuba, and it is suggested that treaty of
reciprocity between that island and the United
States should provide that merchandise passing
between the two countries should. in order TO
secure the benefits conferred by the preferential
rate Of duties, be carried IN either Cuban or
American vessels. This would prove TO be a
great stimulus TO the development of the Ameri-
can merchant marine, and IL is matter of sim
pie Justice that the nations which produce and
consume should be the carriers Of their own
merchandise A further provision should be
made that only vessels built in the United states
should receive Cuban registry.
Cuba has had a CheCkered history. In olden
times, when the world depended on cane for
sugar and this was cultivated with cheap slave
labor Cuban sugar plantations were sources of
great wealth. In recent years. however. it has
been a struggle 10 make both ends meet, the cost
Of production being almost equal TO the amount
realized from the crop. The following chart viii

IS 412 269 IN duties and a reduction of % per
s., ,103, ,067. On the basis then, OF the transac-
tions for the year 1900 the United States would
have surrendered $6.S41. 1868 in revenue and
Cuba would have surrendered 81, ,6S2,454; but
under the preferential granted to the United
States under the proposed plan imports from
the United States would be reased to such an
extent that the commerce of Cuba would be IN
American hands, and the apparent difference
would be Immediately reversed, for. in place OF
selling 10 the island S2oooOOoO worth we would
sell S150U0O00 worth. As the United States
absorbs practically the entire volume OF Cuban
exports il is only Just that Cuba should look
TO the United States for such merchandise as
the United States produces and Cuba consumes.
Such arrangement would allow the United
States TO supply the Cuban markets with pot
terry. glassware, hardware. cast and wrought
iron and steel, colors, dyes, varnishes, many
chemical and pharmaceutical products. fertlliz-
ers, cotton. linen wool and many silk texuIes'
pa per in its various FORMS wood. lumber. furni-
ture. live stock. leather goods machinery, rail-
way supplies, carriages, provisions. Such as
meats, cereals, etc.-in short whatever the
United States makes or grows and Cuba con-
sumes would be supplied from this country. and
not. is the case TO a large degree, from
European markets Neither would such an ar
rangement so cut into the revenues of Cuba as
to eInbarraSs the government for the
ability TO buy created by market for sugar
would increase the importations that the
revenues from this source would increase rather
than diminish.
A treaty of reciprocity along the lines outlined
could go a step further in the way OF oestoN-
ing mutual benefits upon the two parties IN IN
terest.
The carrying trade Of Cuba is important ana
q 'arge percentage of il is in the hands OF Tor
eigners. who take but small portion Of Cubas
products, as may be seen from the following
tables:

From the above It is seen that foreign vessels
carry more than 30 per cent of the exports ana
imports Of the island OF Cuba. Under reciprocity
the trade of Cuba would be materially increased,
and as most of this trade would be between the
United States and Cuba. those two countries
should be the carriers of their products
The present condition Of the foreign carrying
trade of Cuba. as compared with the amount or
goods purchased by the carriers, may be seen
from the following:
