Sugar and Cuban Anm0xaejon.
New Orleans Pcayunc.

Sugar and Cuban Annexaeiom.
New Orleans Picayunc.
The utter Insinc erlty of the advo-
Gates of commercial concessions to
the Cubans, IS proven by the
threatening attitude assumed by
some of the most prominent among
them. Thus the New York Journal
of Commerce calls attention to the
threat made by Secretary of War
Root as a warning to the opponents
of Cuban reciprocity. The sec.
retary declared in his annual report
that failure to restore prosperity in
Cuba would mean disorders and ul-
innate Intervention by the United
States. Such Intervention could
take no other form than annexation
Accepting this threat of the sec
re:ary of war as text, the Journal
of Commerce proceeds to warn the
sugar interests that if they succeed
in preventing reciprocity now, an
nexation of Cuba will be sure to
follow in a few years, and with an
nexation, of course, there will be
free sugar just as sugar is free from
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian
islands. This threat will, of course,
frlghten no one. The sugar inter
ests are we'll aware that the Sugar
Trust and capitalists controlling
Cuban sugar lands ardently desire
annexation, and hope to use the re-
ciProcity scheme as stepping
stone.
1t would be utterly dishonest to
insist upon annexation after guar
the Cubans absolute indie
pendence. Even annexation need
not necessarily mean free sugar No
one thinks of admitting Manila
sugar free. hence if it is legitimate
and proper to maintain a duty on
the products of the Philippines. it
would be equally proper to retain
the duty on Cuban sugar. even after
The difference between
the cases of the Philippines and of
Cuba is to be found IN the fact that
great corporations, controlled by
American capital, own lands in
Cuba, whereas in the Philippines
here is no such investment of
American capital.
The advocates of Cuban recipro-
:ity know full we'll that the Cubans
ire not prepared to accept annexa-
ion and would resent any attempt
n that direction. They also know
hat Congress and the people would
'ot countenance the forcible annex
!tion of the island, hence the threat
# annexation need frighten no one.
The cry that Cuba is suffering under
x1sting conditions is manifestly
Without foundation, as the island

sh regime. The sugar planters Of
cuba are by no means the Cuban
eople. AS matter of fact, most
f the planters were on the side of

nd would favor annexation to the
United States in preference to indie
endenCe for no other motive than
he betterment OF their sugar pro-
critics.
1t is entirely safe to assume that
he sugar interests will pay no
ttention to the annexation threat,

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1902-06-11

Hermann H. Buessmann, the history of
whose life is part of the history of New
Ulm, passed from this life to the uncer-
tain life of the future, ripe in the ex-
7perlence of this world and full of years,
having served his generation we'll. He
was born in the province of Hanover
Germany, in 1925 and at the age of t23
years came to New Orleans, spent some
time at st..sLouis and Chicago, worked
IN hotel at Louisville Ky; and was af-
terward in business in that city for him
self, subsequently he went to Cincinnati
where. he engaged in the mercantile
business then moved to the outskirts of
the city where he started dairy which
he conducted Drive years. He came to
New Ulm in May 1861, but settled on a
farm ia Nlcollet county where he re.
manned until 1875. Since that time he
has conducted hardware business in
this city until over taken by blindness
he was compelled to leave the work / te
his sons. He was good business mar
and accumulated money being at one
time a large property owner in this city
