DEMOCRATIC Caucus.
Arraigns Administration and Opposes
Adjournment,


WASHINGTON. June 30-A caucus
OF the Dcmoeratic members Of the
house Of representatives held recent
lly, unanimously adopted the follow
ing declaration;
Resolved. first, that We condemn
the Republican majority in congress
for their failure to pass measure
providing reciprocity with Cuba.
The bill which passed the house OF
representatives was heartily support
ed hy the Democratic minority after
the protection of the sugar trust had
been remaved by the solid Democrat
ic vote, aided by n small minority Of
the Republican members. Asitpass-
ed the house, the bill carried relief to
Cuba. reduced the price OF sugar to
American consumers and struck a
heavy blow at the notorious and
obnoxious sugar trust.
THE refusal of the Republican
senators to consider the measure I'M
less the protection of the sugar trust
should be restored gives evidence
that the president and Republican
party in congress are willing to re-
fuse relief 10 Cuba and totally ignore
American consumers rather than
abandon their alliance with the
trusts.
THE failure Of all reciprocity legis-
lation with Cuba rests upon the Re-
publican administration, which is
willing to reduce the duty on the raw
sugarof our producers, but unwilling
to destroy the sugar monopoly.
"Second-that the Republican ma
| iOrity in congress is dominated and
controlled by the trusts and monop-
Giles. which have the great duties Of
our country in their grasp, as shown
by its action in passing an antitrust
bill through the house OF representa-
tives in the fifty-seventh congress in
the closing hours of the session. the
senate refusing to consider the same
as subterfuge to tide over the cleo
ton in 1900 That bill has been
abandoned, and they have ever since
refused and do now refuse and fail to
bring in any measure to suppress the
trusts, or to favorably report any of
he numerous anti trust bills intro
duced by Democratic members during
this congress.
"Third-That we favor the imme-
date passage OF a measure to amend
the present antitrust law so as to
more fully protect trade and com
merce against unlawful restraints
monopolies and also u measure to re-
duce the duties on all articles and
commodities manufactured and con-
trolled or produced in the United
States by trust or trusts, SO az to
destroy such illegal combination, and
to reduce the rate OF duty on any
article or commodity manufactured
in the United States.
"Fourth-We oppose the adjourn
ment oi congress until the measures
mentioned above have been enacted
into law.

and was devoted to discussion oil

The men had been enemies for some

DUTY TOWARDS CUBANS
GEN. j. III. WILSON SAYS WE OWE
THEM RECIPROCITY.
the War, He Asserts, to
Aid the People.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13-"Since our occupa-
ton of Cuba we have not done one thing
10 repair the ravages of war. We have
re-established no families in their home
steads nor attempted to restock barren
farms and plantations. We have not
taken a single step TO extend the COM
merce Of the country so as to enable the
island 10 recover from the devastation OF
recent war;
In these words Gen. James II. Wilson,
late Governor Of Matanzas and recent ap-
pointee as delegate TO King Edwards coro-
nation to represent the United States army,
charged neglect of Cuba in a speech de-
iivered tonight at the Union League Club.
General Wilson made frequent references
to what he called the unfair treatment the
island had received at the hands OF the
administration. The speaker made it plain
that an Interpretation of broken faith
might be placed upon our conduct by the
Cubans themselves.
I'VE pledged ourselves at the beginning
of the war" said the speaker. against the
intention of exerting any sovereignty over
the island and promised TO withdraw our
army as soon as peace was restored. In
spite of this pledge we have exercised ev-
cry conceivable attribute of sovereignty
over Cuba. We have absolutely controlled
the domestic affairs of the people, and al
though perfect order has existed for two
years our army is still In possession OF
the country"
The remedy proposed by General Wilson
Is immediate reciprocity with Cuba. An
neXation. he maintained. is sure TO come
but TO meet the emergency he proposed
removing the duty on Cuban impOrtations
and at the same time suspending the
island with our own protective tariff on
foreign impOrtatiOns. This policy General
Wilson asserted, would act as a stimulus
TO Cuban commerce that would restore the
ante-bellum prosperity of the country
By A quotation from statistics he at
tempted to show that such free trade
would have an injurious effect on practi-
cally none of our own industries The ef-
feet upon the tobacco industry, he as
serted, would not be felt, and the sugar
industry would not suffer to any great
extent.
