exclusion laws to Cuba. no one &p- bearing before the committee on ways and means contendcd that it would so injure home industries. All agreed that the price of sugar to American con sufners would remain the same. Nor would it inure to the benefit of the sugar trust. Witnesses before the cum- mittee united in testifyirS. and sta tistics prove. that the trust has re- ceiVed no benefit in buying sugar, either in Hawaii or Porto Rico. since the duty was reduced or removed. The entire benefits have been reaped by the planters in those islands. We have every reason to believe that the same would prove true as to Cuba.
 Many misleading statements as to the attitude of the president, the cab inet and the house republicans are ap- bearing in newspapers. I cannot speak of conferences with the president. But I have every assurance that the cabi- net is not divided on this question. nor have majority of the house republi- cans committed themselves ether to the Morris or the Tawney or the do- nothing policy. The proposition of a 70 per cent reduction. ir adopted. will put off. in my judgment. the annexation of Cuba for many years. She will not come in until her population is Amer icanized from the states. It will settle the question for generations to come and give rest ana tranquility tO the sugar business. If the reduction is made. no further change will be made until We have annexation and free trade To refuse to do anything would put the house ir d position hostile to the people. would prevent uncertainty and feeling of apprehension to the prcducters of sugar in the states and would be utterly demoralizing.
