CUBAN RECIPROCITY AND
THE FUTURE OF SUGAR

Following is the speech Senator Per
kins delivered in advocacy of the
Cuban reciprocity BILL
"Mr. President: The opponents of
the Cuban reciprocity treaty seem to
be on the wrong tack. They are like
the captain who shapes the course of
his vessel by dead reckoning north
northeast to reach a certain port, when
the true course, which he might have
ascertained had he taken the trouble,
is northeast. He therefore must not
be surprised if he brings up on the
rocks.
1T is asserted by those who OPP
pose this treaty that it will injure GER
tain great interests of the United
States-sugar, citrus fruits and tobac-
co. But l think that if they had taken
am observation as the captain re-
ferred to should have done-in reality,
have ascertained the facts-their argu
ment would not have been in danger of
shipwreck 1t is true that Cuba COM
petes with American sugar producers,
beet and cane, but our sugar growers are
protected against her by, | think, the
highest tariff which we enforce, which
amounts to Io2 per cent ad valorem at
the present prices for the same grade as
beet sugar.
The Cuban treaty does not by any
means put our producers at the mercy
of Cuban planters, for the proposed re
duction will leave a protection of IS
per cent on raw sugar and Sc per
cent on refined. which should be quite
sufficient for the encourag cement of
any enterprise. Our Secretary of
in his latest annual re-
port. states that the beet-sugar in
dustry is we'll established and that its
future depends on the adoption of
economic methods in field and factory.
If our farmers and beet-sugar manu-
facturers are not enterprising enough
to adopt such methods and prosper
under protective duty of 81 per cent,
it must be that they, too, have gone off
On a northnortheast course, which. as
m the case of the captain, would be
heir own fault.

NO REDUCTION IN PRICE OF
SUGAR.

NO REDUCTION IN PRICE OF
SUGAR,
The fears expressed as to the
dolorous fate of our domestic cane
and beet sugar growers arise from the
TACT that it is feared that the market
price of sugar may be reduced. If it
Is not. reduced domestic sugar will not,
of course, feel any effect from the re-
ductlon in the duty.
If the opponents of this treaty
think that sugar prices are about to
tall, they have got still farther away
from, their true course. If they will
read the accounts which come from
our Consuls in Europe, they will find
that the results of the Brussels sugar
conference mean shipwreck of their ar
guments.
These results are already appear
ing. The abolition of the export boun-
ty has caused 1890 acres to be with
drawn from sugar-beet culture in Ger
many, 44,347 acres in France and 3d.
200 acres in Russia. and this in the
present year, although the convention
did not go into effect until September
And already the effect is becoming
observable In exports from Germany,

Leipzig that there was, for the first
quarter OF 1908, a decrease of exports
of beet sugar to England amounting
to $4,000 long tons.
In addition TO the disbursement
of export there is governmental en-
enlargement of domestic consumption
OF sugar in the ugar-producing coun-
tries of Europe, beginning with an in
crease in the allowance to the army
and followed by the reduction of in
rernal taxes, resulting in the 1essening
Of price to domestic consumers. I'm
der this policy it is estimated by emf
nent French authorities that the in
crease of the consumption of sugar in
France will reach 100000 tons per an
mum, and Germany hopes to increase
her consumption 100000 tons. This
ought to greatly relieve the pressure

sugar from other foreign sources, and
the price of Cuban sugar would con-
form to the price we paid her rivals.
II she were able to supply our entire
consumption, the price of Cuban sugar
would still be governed by the world
price She could not go above it and
would not go below il. And this world
price, plus freight and duty of Ioz
per cent ad valorern, is the price with
which our domestic producers have TO
compete. Cuban sugar does not enter
into the price problem at all.

since the Inauguration of the cartel
| in 1000, which the Brussels sugar con-
vention abolished Thus the tendency
TO export is weakened in two ways,
and, according to high American
authority, when Germany's consump-
ton of sugar, which is now only 80
pounds per capita per year, equals that
of England, which is % pounds, as
says a German author, Max Shipped, in
his book on sugar production, Ger
many will have no sugar whatever for
export,
another important fact is that nom
ugar-producing countries which have
been supplied by Germany, France and
Russia are now, because of the d1mln-
ution in their beet-sugar supplies, in
sugar It is noted that for the first
time in twenty-five years England has
bought sugar from Cuba.
PRICES IN THE WORLD MARKET
WILL BE RAISED.
"These facts mean this: That less
beet sugar will be imported into the
United States; that more of the cane
sugar of the world will be consumed
by foreign nations: that a larger and
larger proportion of Cuban sugar will
go to other markets than our own The
falling off in exports from beet-sugar
countries will relieve the pressure up
on the sugar market of the world,
which will not only prevent fall, but
will probably increase domestic prices,
which increase will surely come if our
own consumption increases at its past
ratio. Our own consumption per
capita has increased pretty rapidly
from 81 pounds in 1884 to Go no
pounds in 1904, and u $40 pounds in
1902 That signifies an increase OF
553,4oo tons in eight years-over Q
pounds per capita.
I'VE are the greatest sugar-consunl-
ing nation on earth except Great Brit
ain, and if we were TO deduct from
her consumption the amount that goes
into her jam and jelly industry, largely
for export. it would probably show
that our per capita consumption nearly
equaled hers.
And it must be remembered that
the reduction of 20 per cent IS on Gu.
ban sugar only, which forms but one
third part of our sugar imports. AS
against the other foreign sugars.

Mr. Cul1om-May / ask the Senator
a question?

statement as to the percentages?
have had some investigation made of
the matter, and l thought the per
centage was less than the Senator has
stated.
AID VALOREM PROTECTION ON
SUGAR.
Mr. Perkins, will state to the
Senator from Illinois that I have ex-
amined into the matter, and that the
figures | am giving have been OBJ
tanned from the Treasury Department.
They are as follows:
Average ad valorem duty on sugar
1901. 1902. 1903.
per cent
Refined sugar. .zo.83 82.23 1o1.o6
This refined sugar is the same
grade of sugar as the beet sugar which
is granulated when it comes from the
beet-sugar factory.
I think there is no question, Mr..
President, but that these figures are
correct. as they were given to me, as
have stated, by the Treasury De-
partment.
Mr.. Cullom-I only desired, if the
Senator would allow me, to interrupt
him sufficiently long to get the exact
statement as the Treasury Department
gives it, so that we may rely upon its
being accurate.
WHY CUBAN SUGAR WILL NOT
AFFECT PRICES.
Mr.. Perkins - The other foreign
sugars are those which fix the price
at which Cuban sugar will be sold here,
for the cost to us has always depended |
on the cost of sugar at Hamburg, and |
will so depend whether Cuba sells us
l. 900. 900 or 100000 tons or more a |
year.
Cuba can get in our market only |
what we are obliged TO pay in the |
world market No matter how much |
she may pour into the American mar
<et. Cuba can not change the price a
shade. If she can produce cheaper
han any other country on the globe, |
III her yearly product would not af- |
-ect the American market, for we are
compelled TO buy two-thirds of our

ROSES BODY is BURIED
IN PRISON CEMETERY

Less than an hour after he left his
cell to sit i'm the death chair, Rose had
been executed, pronounced dead and
was buried. He was shot at 10.0S
O'Clock. AT 1875 o'clock the body was
being driven through the prison gates
To the penitentiaTy cemetery. At 1885
o'clock the last shovelful of dirt had
been thrown upon his grave by the con-
victs detailed to bury the murderer's
body.
After being taken from the death
chair Roses body was laid out upon a
table on the east side of the blacksmith
shop. While lying there his wounds
We're examined by a number of physi-
clans. During the course of the exam
inatiOn a white team, hitched to an or
binary farm wagon, drove up. In 1t
was an ordinary pine coffin box, in
which was a rough coffin.
The box and coffin We're taken out
and rested on the ground. The still
warm body of Rose was lifted into the
coffin, which had not been taken out of
the box. over the paid face and limp
form was spread a white cloth. With
out any ceremony whatsoever, not even
a prayer or a single flower the lid
was placed over the coffin and screwed
down The top of the coffin box was
secured. That done the whole was lift
ed into the wagon, and was carried off
to the cemetery.
1t was followed at some distance by

GOVERNOR WELLS MEETING
WITH MURDERER ROSE

Governor Wells saw Rose at the
state prison last Tuesday. The visit
occurred purely by chance. 1t was not
the result of a request by friends of
Rose and the conversation was not
marked by any profanity or attempted
insult on the part of Rose, as has been
published.
Governor Wells Went TO the prison to
attend u meeting of the board of cor
rections. After the meeting he was
going through the institution with
Warden Pratt when the latter sug-
gested that they see Rose. The gov
ernOr assented. They entered Roses
cell where the wardn engaged the con-
demned man in conversation. Cover
nor Wells listened but took no part in
the conversation. Just before he left,
however, Governor Wells said to Rose
in effect:
