Mr. Robertson Says Reciprocity
 is Not Democratic Doctrine
VIOLATES FIRST PRINCIPLE
If Democratic Tariff Views Were Adopted 1t Would Be Unnecessary. Mir. Newlands Says Country
 Is Tired of Sentiment.

Washington. April 5.-Three separate minority reports on the Cuban reciprocity bill were filed today by Representatives Robertson of Louisiana, Newlands of Ne vada and Cooper of Texas, all Democrats MT. Robertson says in part:
 ''The bill, If enacted into law, would afford a relief to the Cuban treasury l believe that the benefits would go into the pockets of few sugar planters owning thousands of acres of land. The 20 per cent reduction would not go to the relief of the Cuban people, but would go en- tirely to fill the already overfiowing cof- fers of the sugar refineries of the United States, known by the name of the sugar trust"
 Mir. Robertson expressed astorfishment that one of his Democratic associates, MT. McClelland, in his report refers to the bill as an enunciation of Democratic doctrine of reciprocity" MT. Richardson adds:
 Is Absolutely Impossible.
 Tt seems to me that that kind of reci- procity is absolutely impossible under a Democratic tariff. Should the tariff ever be revised on the line and plans of the principles of the Democratic party, reel procity would be entirely unnecessary and impossible as the rates would not be pro- hibitive and the extension of our trade would as a natural consequence flow from the imposition of such tariff rates with out the necessity of reciprocity.
 The bill is highly in the interest of the trusts. It grants no relef to Cuba nor to the people of the United States, violates the fundamental principles Of our policy interferes grievously with the interna- tional relations of a weak and depend- ent republic which is attempting to follow the dictates of this country and must of necessity become involved In interna- tional entanglements with many import ant nations and might involve on us in or der to protect Cuba in serious internation- al complications
 MT. Newlands makes an elaborate pre- sentation for the reviewing of political and com mercial phases. In conclusion he says:
 $500 100000 For Sentiment.
 '"The people are becoming tired of sen timental legislation in America. We have spent $500, 900, 900 in a war to free Cuba. We have spent over $500, ,OO0, 900 in attempt ing to carry civilization to the Philip pines. It Is now proposed that we in- augurate legislation for the purpose of di- verting to the Cuban planters in order to relieve threatening economic distress, a very large amount of money. 1 am op- posed to the legislation unless we give Cuba clearly to understand that if she wishes commercial union with this coun- try and conditions of commerce not en- joyed by other independent nations she must seek political union with us in the form of annexation as a part of the re- public"
 MT. Cooper's report Is brief and ex- presses general opposition to the bill.
