The Crime Against Cuba.

The refusal of congress to establish
reciprocal trade relations with Cuba
Is heing condemned by nearly all the
newspapers of the country, and fair
minded people are of the opinion that
all the credit that the United States
gained in freeing the island from Span
ish domination has been lost in this
selfish action on the part of the law
making body of the country that has
been posing as the friend Of the op-
pressed.
When Spain was driven out Of Cuba
her trade with the mother country
was destroyed. Her planters then
fondly expected that they could sell
the products of their little island on
the main land. They did not imagine
that a great nation that had gone to
war and spent millions in money and
sacrificed the lives of hundreds of her
best soldiery, would succumb to the
domination of few sugar kings. But
IN this they were mistaken.
The millionaires who control the
sugar markets of the United States
want no rivals. When it. was proposed
to allow the products of Cuba to come
into this country free of duty, or at a
reduced duty, these maniDulators i'm
mediately commenced to work upon
congress to prevent anything that
might even in slight degree loosen
their hold upon the situation. What
methods they used can only be guessed
at in the absence of absolute proof
but the opinion of people of all parties
Is that some of the profits of the trust
reached the pockets OF certain con-
gressmen.
President Roosevelt, who had fought
for the freedom of Cuba, sent a spe-
cial message to congress asking for the
concessions in the trade relations with
the island, but his request was ignored.
1t Is openly charged that there are
two motives in this refusal One Is
to compel the island to ask for annex
alton, thus defeating the ambition of
the people for freedom. The other is
that the sugar trust realizes that an
other season or two will see the rui-
nation of the sugar planters, and its
agents can then go in and buy up the
rich plantations at a nominal price,
and they can then establish free ex.
change after the island is in their
hands.
The clamor of the public for fair
dealing with the stricken island may
compel the Republican party to recon-
slider the question and carry out some
OF the extravagant promises made when
the war with Spain was inaugurated.
