Outlook for the Cuban Treaty.

The outlook for the success of the
lCuban reciprocity treaty is not partic-
ularly bright. The Cuban senate has
ingness to wait for six months for it's
ratification by the United States SEN
ate. The Cubans, of course, want the
treaty. They do not think it is as fair
to them as it ought to be, but it is only
natural that they should want more
than We are willing to give them.
AT the beginning of the present ses-
sion of congress it seemed to be the
understanding that the high protection
advocates had practically abandoned
their opposition to the treaty, pro-
vided the concessions to Cuba were
mot too great. At that time it was
the quite general understanding thai
the treaty woul be ratified.
1t now develops that the opposition
to it's ratification is very pronounced.
The president has been told, so it is
reported, that if the treaty is ratified
efforts will be made by the high pro-
~tectioniSts to prevent his nomination
for president. AS far as known. how
ever, he has not shown any intention
to recede from the position he has TAX
an. He believes that the sentiment O
the country favors the treaty, and it
lis his purpose to insist upon ratiica-
ton.
The chief opponents of he treaty
lare, of Course, the beet sugar men and
the tobacco growers. 1t is asserted
that the ratification of the treaty will
The extremely injurious to both of these
steadily expanding interests. The to-
hacco growers and beet sugar men have
succeeded in enliSting the American
Protective Tariff League on their side
and the prospect is for a long fight
against the treaty.
There is a probability that the SEN
ate will ratify it. The president ap-
pears to be strong enough to secure
its ratification, but it is asserted tina
the fight against it will not end with
ratification. 1t is stated hat Mr..
Payne, chairman of the ways and
means committee, will introduce into
the house, from his committee, a reso-
tuition declaring that the senate has
mo power to disturb revenue acts by
means of treaties. If the house should
pass this, and it is said that it would,
the issue thus raised would go to the
supreme court, where it might remain
for two or three years.
1t does seem as if there ought to be
some tariff concessions to Cuba or
else she should AVE the right to make
reciprocity treaties with other coun-
tries. According to the Platt amend
ment Cuba can make no treaties with
out the consent of this country. This
government would not, of course, con-
Isent for her to make a reciprocity
treaty with one of the European ma
tons because it wants her trade. 1t
is certainly unjust to refuse to make
terms with Cuba-terms that would
give her a living price for her sugar
and tobacco-and also refuse to let her
make reciprocity terms with another
country.
1t looks as if the high protectionists
have determined to do with this coun-
try pretty much as they please. I'm
less the people turn the government
oyer to the democratic party We may
expect very oon tariff laws to the in
ItereSt of protection more outrageous
than those we now have.-Savannah

tfTOTn the Baltimore SUM-
Messrs. Editors: While The negro
question is being agitated and the
southern people are having forced upon
them Objectionable federal oficehold-
Iers, it might be we'll to call attention
TO the true inwardness of the African
slave trade.
My father, Captain John Julius Guth-
RE, then of the United States navy,
while executive officer of the sloop of
war Saratoga on April q, 1861, captured
at the mouth of. the Congo river. on
the west coast of Africa, the slave ship
Nightingale, with 900 slaves on board.
This SLAYER was owned, manned and
equipped in the city of Boston, Mass,
and by reference to dates it will APP
pear her capture was after the assault
upon Fort Sumter and the Baltimore
lot consequent upon the passage Of
the Sixth Massachusetts, regiment
through the city. This was the last
SLAYER captured bv an American war
-igned n entered the Confederate
service. her captain and owners were
never brought to justice. All this is a
department in Washington.
Thus it will be seen the last capture
of a Shaver was by a southern officer.
and the good people of Massachusetts
were engaged in this nefarious trade
at the beginning of our unhappy war.
