production of beet sugar. and they
rightly conclude that to be the real
animus of the trusts tremendous
efforts in behalf of Cuban reciprocity.
If the tariff is let alone it is believed
that the yield of the beet sugar for
1908 will reach 5000, 900 tons. against
1876, 900 tons for 1902. Should the
Tariff be let alone for five years it is
probable that the yield would reach
100000 tons. That would be bad
for the Sugar Trnst. That concern
makes profit of $40 per ton on all
the raw sugar it refnes. Beet sugar
reaches the market already refined.
If next years output should be 3,OOO,-
600 tons it would cut down the trusts
profits So, 900, 900; if 100000 tons in
five years that would mean loss to the
trust of SIS, 100000.
From recent interview with Sena-
tor Burrows it would appear that be is
waiting to see what the Michigan Beet
and the National Association of Beet
Growers have to say before he decides
what to do about the Cuban treaty.
He is quoted as saying:
If the decision is reached that the
reduction will injure the sugar beet
/ 10 hot
Republican who advocated the Protect
ion Tariff will support the treaty. 1t
is not to be assumed that a treaty
would be ratified providing for the
easier entry of certain American
| manufactures into Cuba at the sole
expense of another manufacturer OF
this country. That is not reciprocity
as contemplated by the Republican
National platform.
Ii we enter upon such q policy OF
reciprocity as that we start a war
among American industries which
will be the beginning of the end of the
American Prospective system. OF
course Democrats will diligently aid in
involving the Republican party in such
1
However, that question will be gone
over in the hearings. for / have no
doubt the: threatened American indus
tries will receive a hearing and an
opportunity to present their claims
and defense.
At least, the sugar beets of the
West should receive as much consider
alton as was given the Goldfish of Mass
achuetts. In the preparation of the
Newfoundland reciprocity treaty recent
ly laid before the Senate the Goldfish
industry had its day in court.
That is safe, level ground. The
reciprocity which involves the des-
tructlon of one industry for the benefit
of another industry is not Republican
reciprocity. 1t can only bring harm
to the county and the Republican party

some loss to the manufactures of beet
sugar and of domestic cigars, but the
brunt of the loss will fall upon the farm
ers. By so much as the manufactures
of beet sugar and domestic cigars are
forced to lower their prices because of
these Tariff gifts to the Cuban growers
of sugar and tobocco will the growers
of sugar beets and American leaf tobac-
co be forced to accept lower prices
from those who buy the sugar beets
and the raw tobacco.
What does Cuba yield in return for
this sacrifice of American agriculture?
She grants preferential Tariff rates on
a specified list of articles exported
from the United States, articles that
are almost exclusively the products of
manufacturer aud to very limited
extent the product of agriculture. The
one product of American agriculture
tobacco-which might have gained
some advantage by reciprocal con-
cession of Tariff duties is hopelessly
shut out of Cuba by the retention of
the prohibitory duty of five dollars a
pound! We are to pay bonus on the
import of competitive articles from
IN h,,f MI o fob RI
shut out any and all competitive arti-
Giles produced in the United States.
And they call this reciprocity!
This one sided bargain has now to
run the gauntlet, first, of the Senate
on the question of ratification by a
twO-thirds vote, second, the House OF
Representatives on the question OF
approval and concurrent legislation.
Will the Cuban treaty survive both
these ordeals? We hope not. but we
do not know. If the tready shall 60
through it is the begenning of the end
of equal and fair Protection to all
American industry and labor. We
shall begin by trading away the profits
of the American farmers who raise
sugar and tobacco. Next, as matter
of course, we shall take up reciprocity
with Canada and take pretty much all
of the Protection which the
American farmer enjoys on the pro.
ducts of his farm. Surely if we car
afford to sacrifice two agricultural
industries for the sake of monopolizing
Cuba's ratively small trade we car
afford to sacrifice all the rest of on,
agricultural industries for the sake oil
| the much greater trade with Canada
| And when we have sacrificed all the
| agricultural interests on the altar o.
reciprocity shall we stop there? Will
the American farmer demand that the
American manufacturer be also sacri

the American farmer the power tt
enforce the demand? # you dom

be well to keep this question in mind
when considering the subject of reel
procity with Cuba, Canada and all the
rest of the world.

The Text of the Cuban Treaty.
r. c.. MCUMBER,
GEO. H. THOMAS.

The futile attempt Of the Uni ted
States senate to maintain secrecy con-
corning matters which should have
the widest possible publicity is calcu-
lated to excite Indignation and resent
ment. For what reason the senate
should have adjourned over the hol-
iday recess without having released
for publication the text of the pro-
posed trade treaty between the United
States and Cuba, is hard to under
stand. The same policy was observed
in connection with the Kasson treaties
three years ago, ana with the same re-
suit. The terms of the French treaty
were cabled over from Paris months
before the. seal of secrecy was removed
by our senate. So it has been with
the Cuban treaty. What time the in
strument lies locked in the safe of the
chairman of the Committee on For
eign Relations, draft of the treaty is
forwarded from Havana and is pub
lished in full by New York news
paper of Dec. 25. The draft of the
treaty, which we are able to say is
correct and authentic, is published in
late issue of the American Econ
Omist for the information of our read
ers.
Briefly stated the treaty provides
for a reduction of 20 per cent. of
Dingley Tariff rates on all Cuban pro-
ducts imported into the United States
that is, on Cuban sugar and tobacco,
as these are practically all of Cuba g
products that are marketed in the
United States. In return for these
concessions Cuba grants a reduction
of 25, 80 and 40 per cent. respectively,
on. numerous category of articles,
mostly manufactured, imported into
Cuba from the United States. The
convention is to last five years, and
from year to year thereafter until
one year from the day when either
party shall give notice to the other of
its intention to terminate the treaty.
Practically the term is six years, unless
either of the contracting parties
should make such changes in its Tariff
schedules as should operate disadvan-
tageously to the other patty. In such
apeyent the treaty is terminable on
six months notice.
For six years, then, barring re-
vision of its Tariff schedules by either
country, the United States is to pay
to the sugar and tobacco planters of
Cuba bonus on every pound of sugar
and, tobacco which they shall send to
this country. and at the same time fur
nish to the Sugar Trust and the
Tobacco and Cigar Trust the means
wherewith to beat down the price of
sugar and tobacco to the injury of the
domestic producers of those articles
For six years the American farmers
who raise sugar cane, sugar beets and
tobacco are to pay the cost of reciproc-
ity with Cuba. Incidently there will be

CUBAN CONGRESS ADJoURNs.
Had Been in Continuous Session Since
Nav 20. 1902.

dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
Congress adjourned sine die Saturday af
ter an almost continuous session since the
Inauguration of the Cuban republic. May
20, 1902 One Of the final acts Of the SEN
ate was the ratification Of the postal treaty
with the United States, and an act was
passed. also, providing for the adherence
of the republic to the universal postal
union. The permanent Platt amendment
treaty was not acted upon. A report rec
ommending Its unreserved ratification had
been prepared, but was not completed In
time to be considered either in committee
or by the Vsenate. The senatorial leaders
informed President Palma that 1t had been
agreed that there was no need for crowd
ing the ratification of the treaty into the
last evening session, since its provisions. in
their present shape as parts Of the cOnsri
tuition. are as effective they would he
were it ratified. In the house OF represen-
tatives the agreement to adjourn was not
reached until yesterday afternoon, and no
quorum was present at the night sitting.
Deducting the two months brief recesses
which had been taken. the sessions Of the
house lasted year. though not much leg
islation was enacted until the last few
weeks Most OF the sfttings Of tho senate
were Of an hours duration and were held
on alternate days. The house. theorettc-
ally, held brief sittings every afternoon
but a quorum was frequently lacking. Both
