CUBA OWNED BY TRUSTS.

DIR. N. c. Morse, of Eldorado, Iowa,
who was appointed by Gov. Shaw
vice president from that state to the
Pan-American congress, which met at
Havana, Cuba, Feb. to s, has Just
returned from his mission and in an
interview tells some of his observa-
| tions of Cuba and the Cubans.
Cuba. historically, is, of course, :"
said DR.. Morse, "the oldest -eommu-
nifty in the new world and is certainly
the richest island on this or any
other continent-richest in point of
production. beautiful climate-and
under proper sanitation is certainly
destined to become the most delight
full winter resort the world has over
known. Whatever may become of
the political outcome of Cuba, her
geographical and commercial position
will always make her an important
factor in the public life and welfare
of this continent. The American
congress seems to be much alarmed
over the affairs in Cuba, and 1 think
they have some reason to feel so, as
the American seems very much de-
spised by the native Cuban. This
discomfort is due primarily to the
fact that American capital has pur-
chased or owns every franchise of
value on the island.
1.-The sugar trusts of the United
States control the entire output of the
island. The tobacco interests of the
United States control absolutely the
amount of production, the Cubans be-
ing required in many instances to
make affidavit that they will not raise
tobacco or sugar cane before they are
permitted to rent or cultivate an acre
of ground.
"a few weeks ago at a cost of over
six millions of dollars the Ium Der
trust purchased every stick of mahog-
any on the island. The electric light
plants, the street car lines, the manu-
facture of gas and many of the largest
plantations are owned and controlled
by American capitalists.
'sThe Cubans are also burdened by
an export tax and of course when to-
bacco is shipped to this country they
are compelled to pay heavy duty.
The greatest objection to the intro
duction ofAmeriean capital is the
fact that where American capital is
Invested it will certainly be protected
by the American government. The
American government, however, pos
itively declared the people of Cuba
should be free and independent, and
it seems little less than pettifogging.
therefore. to attempt to dictate what
relations should exist between the |
two countries to enforce laws so OBJ
noxious to a free and independent |
people. If. on the other hand, con-
gcess does not as the Cubans are |
red to believe. consider them capt.
bic Of self-government then the
island should be annexed at once
without further parley and the |
Cubans treated like the American In
dams; that is, give them just pro-

portionment of the soil with the
liberty to cultivate whatsoever they
please, and finally grant to them the
free and untrammeiled importation of
sugar and tobacco, which would prove
a boon to the American home, and
also rich harvest to the Cuban.
" The greed of American capital
lists is stealing US blind, remarked a
prominent Cuban. we cannot help
ourselves for the reason that at the
close of the war we were practically
penniless. Our property was con-
tiscated by the Spanish government,
and under the ruling of the secretary
OF war, we are not able to establish
our titles by the records of our late
enemies. !"
All of which coming from a repub-
lican sent to Cuba on an official mis-
sion by a republican governor, shows
that Cuba has been ''stolen blind''
under military rule. Careful perusal
shows why Mckinley refuses to give
the Cubans the independence prom
ised. 1t lets flood of light upon the
Cuban amendment to the army appro-
priation bill. which provides among
OlHSI LuluSS, 4OL Lpc IdtihCaelOu
lof all the contracts made and
franchises granted by the United
States representatives during their
control of affairs. Think what a
crime it is to prevent the citizens
there from coming again into the
property which was confiscated gen.
orally by the Spanish. and then by the
ruling of President McKinley's secre-
tary of war. The article discloses
conditions in Cuba today worse than
Weylerism; for by this wrong they
are forever impoverished and made
slaves. No wonder that independent
republican papers. like the Chicago
Times-Herald, declare that Cuba was
betrayed by the action of congress in
adopting the Mckinley policy as a
part of the law of the land. Shame,
indeed, upon party that has thus
stulte6ed this country and outraged
weaker people.

as being against the withdrawal of
