people to our own sparsely settled re-
gions.

something Of. which paper as well ed

One thing to be said about the senate
amendments to the Cuban treaty Is that
while they are selfishly drawn in the m

give Cuba some compensation for the de-

It is provided that during the five years
no other country than Cuba shall be al
lowed by treaty or convention a tariff less
than the straight Dingley rates. This
makes it practically certain that during
the five years Cuba will be the only
wholly foreign country enjoying special
privileges in the American sugar market.
This provision is also in the interest OF
the domestic sugar producers, but 1t gives
