can not produce in this country. Blaine
never knew it: neither did President
Mckinley. Blaine never advocated
such reciprocity; Mckinley never IA
vored such reciprocity. President
Roosevelt faithfully follows these two
great leaders in his Interpretation of
the true policy.
ITO have reciprocity with Cuba we
must lower the duties on Cuban pro-
ducts and Cuba must admit our pro-
ducts at lower rates than she charges
other countries. When we had reci-
procity with Hawaii we admitted the
sugar of her islands in return for GER
tain concessions there.
Recent Republican state conventions
in Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana. Hin
ois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
Minnesota have specifically Endorsed
reciprocity with Cuba as recommended
by President Roosevelt.

reciprocity with Cuba at the last ses-

wrote to his wife that it would be as
easy to make a whistle of a pigs tail
as anything of these people (the Gu

letter public. Now the Cuban govern
ment is displeased, all the Cuban peo-
pie are in wrath. and General Bragg
will have to come home. His excuse is
that the remark was made in a private
communicat ton, and he should not be
held responsible for such utterances
when not made for the public. But OF
course the administration cannot take
this view of it. We cannot maintain j

And, were this government disposed to
overlook the indiscretion, it is estopped

President Cleveland required the recall
of the British minister because he wrote
a private letter to a friend advising the
support of the democratic candidate for
president, and Minister De LONE found
that his private comments, afterwards
made public, concerning President Nc
kinley and the American people would
make his recall necessary, so he took
time by the forelock and resigned be-
fore President Mckinley made a formal
protest.
General Bragg has only himself to
blame. The Cuban people are sensitive,
and it could not be expected that they
would overlook such caustic criticisms
as were contained in his letter. The
situation is not relieved by the fact
that the peppery old general was not
wide of the mark. 1t is we'll known

other people whose opinions are worth

is neither here nor there.

policy of reciprocity with Cuba
The republicanism and good faith
of these newspapers cannot be
questioned, but they persist N
taking narrow view of the subject
We commend to their attention these
extracts from a speech made by Con-
gresham Chester 1. Long of Kansas,
few days ago. Mr.. Long is member
of the ways and means committee, ana
took a prominent part in framing tbs
house reciprocity bill:
1.-The war with Spain begun to free
Cuba has resulted in greater benefit 10
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands
than to Cuba. Porto Rico has absolute
free trade. The Philippines have free
trade in their principal product. Ha-
wall has free trade. Cuba is in a con-
dition similar to that which existed
under the rule of Spain. We have thus
far refused to make any concessions to
her productions.
"Cuba's prosperity depends upon her
ability to sell her sugar at a profit. We
had reciprocity with Cuba under the
Mckinley law while Cuba was a colony
of Spain.
1.-The Cuban reciprocity measure was
passed by the house. President Roose-
welt sent a special message to congress
urging the passage of the measure.
Nineteen republican senators stated
that they would not vote for the bill.
Thirty-six republican senators favored
the bill. The doctrine that the majority
should rule was disregarded. Reciproc-
ity with Cuba will be accomplished by
a bill or treaty unless those who forced
a postponement shall persist in their
course.
eff We confine reciprocity to articles
not produced in this country we aban-
don the doctrine for we can produce
practically everything in the United
States.
RECIPROCITY under the Mckinley law
represented the ideas of Blaine and Nc
Kinley. Those reciprocity agreements
included sugar. hides and other articles
that we are producing in this country
and have been producing ever since.
General Grosvenor in the house of
Representatives in April, 1902, said:
Both the great leaders, Blaine and Nc
Kinley. favored the use of sugar as g
basis of reciprocity negotiations. Sugar
was then an infant industry and yet
these two great champions of produc-
ton favored reciprocity on this article.
There has never been an attempt to
establish reciprocity trade with any
great sugar raising country that did
not involve sugar as one of the articles
to be affected
1.-The Dingley law included sugar as
one of the articles on which the presi-
dent could grant reductions to the ex-
tent of twenty per cent in making a re-
ciprocity agreement.
