The opening statement in behalf OF the Louisiana
interests made by ]. D. Hill OF New-OrIeans
extensive planter. He pointed out that there
no need of making appeal IN behalf OF
Cuba, for the island was gifted by nature as to
produce sugar at exceedingly low rates, which
could enter into fair competition with the rest OF
the world. He compared the status of Cuba with
that Of South after the Civil War and said that
the South had worked out its salvation with
out making appeals for special favors. Already
hundreds of millions OF dollars had been invested
in sugar production in Louisiana, and the industry
was still far short of its full capacity. He urged
that this industry should be subjected to for
eign petition which would seriously iniure II
not destroy it. Mr.. Hill asserted that the Sugar
Trust was behind the Cuban movement, and pre-
sented statistics to show that the result Of con-
cessions TO Cuba would make the Sugar Trust the
real beneficiary. constituting that organization q
