ed the same conception Of Cuba prob
ably that most Americans seem to hold
namely that the island Is devoted to
the raising of tobacco and sugar cane
and good for little else in the way OF
agriculture But ! have had occasion
TO revise my opinions OF the agricultur-
al possibilities Of Cuba since became
acquainted with its varied surface and
range Of climate.
To begin with, Cuba probably has
the most fertile soil. and more Of It rel
atlvcly to the rest of the land, than any
country OF Its size in the western hem
isphere. The mistake made In Cuba has
been In assuming that only tropical
products like sugar cacao, coffee and
tobacco can be raised here. While II Is
the home OF all tropical fruits and veg
etabies, nearly everything else IN the
range OF agriculture and horticulture
may be produced In one part or another
Of the island.
Now, as to stock raising there are no
two opinions held by those who know
the island as do. have examined II
from one end to the other. from the
eastern TO the western province, and
have finally come to the conclusion that
the golden mean can be found about
midway between the two extremes, or,
in other words, in the central provinces
of Puerto Principe and Santa Clara.
From what we casually learn here there
is now and then dearth Of cattle in the
United States or rise in prices OF
meats owing to the controlling OF the
supply by trusts, and II has fred us

concluding that some cuss words were
necessary and being unwilling to cuss in

as Col. Hayes says
''It is safe to say that had none of the
great families, none of the Shareholders
stood for the Union, Kentucky, Missouri
and Maryland would have seeded, and if
they had gone with the South unanimous
ly the Confederacy would have achieved
its independence. This brings me to the
central idea of this speech-the main
fact-of which l never think without
anger and resentment, for l believe that
justice should be done, even in writing
history, though the heavens fall. and it
is this Population considered, Kentucky
and Missouri sent more soldiers to the
Civil War than any other States and re-
ceive less credit for it. They were splen-
did soldiers, too. Theodore Roosevelt
says that by actual measurement the
Kentucky Union soldiers were the finest
speciments of physical manhood who
were in the Federal armies; and when
Jefferson Davis, himself renowned SOL
dier reviewed the army at Corinth, he
declared Cockrell's Missouri brigade TO
be the most magnificent soldiers his
trained military eye had ever gaZed
upon.
1T is said that figures will not lie,
and here they are: To the Union armies
Missouri contributed Ill soldiers,
Kentucky 1890, Maryland 46,63S, Ten
nessee 81, ,092 and West Virginia 32,06S-
making a grand total of 294,669. Sup
pose a case. Suppose that George H.
Thomas had gone with his State as Ell
his brothers in arms from Virginia did,
and that when Pickett made his spec
tacular charge at Gettysburg, Thomas
had in the nick of time reinforced him
with the 294, $50 veteran Kentuckians,
Missourians, Marylanders, West Vir-
ginians and Tennesseans then fighting in
the Union armies, can any human being
fail to Understand what would have been
the result?"
The speaker expressed the conviction
that the declaration of Lincoln in his
first inaugural address that he had no
intention to interfere with slavery in the
States where it already existed held the
border States faithful to the Union. The
speaker concluded his address by re-
lating number of instances of daring,
heroism and cruelty in the border States
AS to his own State he said
In Missouri the war was waged with
unspeakable bitterness, sometimes with
inhuman cruelty. 1t was fought by men
in single combat, in squads, in COM
panies, in regiments, in great armies, in
the open, in fortified towns. and in am
bush, under the Stars and Stripes, under
the Stars and Bars, and under the black
flag. The arch fend himself seems to
