STEVENS IS
AGAINST IT
St. Paul Congressman Addresses the
House in Opposition to the
Cuban Bill.
Declares Himself Protectionist, but
Says the Schedules Should
Be Changed.

Washington, Nov. 17.-When the
house convened to-day Mr.. Fowler
en-. J.) and Mr.. Rrundige (Ark.) were
sworn in, after which the house went
into committee of the whole and re-
sumed consideration of the Cuban bill.
Mr.. Knapp (rep., n. Y.) was the first
speaker to-day.
Mr.. Stevens (Minn.) spoke for thir-
ty minutes in opposition to the bill.
He said that, while firm protection
list. he believed the time near at hand
when some reductions in the present
tariff schedules must be made. He
said 1t was nonsense to think there
will be any great increase in our trade
with Cuba. For the sake Of secur-
trade in Cuba he said, "the United
States will sacrifice millions of dollars
of It's foreign trade. l believe the
measure Is cruel blow to one of the
most promising agricultural industries
of this country" Mr.. Stevens added,
land there would be greater reduc-
ton in revenues than estimated by
advocates of the bill" ;.
He declared that he would have
voted for a straight 20 per cent re-
GuctiOn because the American people
desire to be generous to Cuba and be-
cause such reduction would be rec
commended by the national admins
tration. The objections to the bill,
in his opinion, were that it provides
for Il continued reduction of duties on
Cuban products for five years. while
he thought the duty on, sugar should
not be reduced within that time.
Mr.. Stevens said also that he
thought the time near at hand when
a reduction of the tariff duties must
be made, and declared his belief in
the republican doctrine of reciprocity,
adding that practical application Of
that doctrine is necessary to protect
our foreign trade. = He believed, how
ever, that the result Of the passage
of the bill would be to restrict our
trade rather than extend it.
Mr.. Stevens then quoted from the
government statistics on sugar imports
in support of his position and con-
cluded by declaring himself unable to
support the bill. Mr.. Stevens speech
was .applauded vigorously ON both
| sides of the house.
Mr.. Clark (dem., MOI prefaced his
remarks by saying he believed it the
| first duty of a democrat to congrat-
ulate the republicans that the light
was breaking in on them. Turning
| his attention to the Cuban bill, Mr.
Clark declared with emphasis thai
! the republicans could not pass the
bill without the democratic vote in
| the house, adding and you know it. Z
