Cuba has put on the seven-league
ing, double-quick, toward prosperity
and wealth. It's surplus this year is
greater per capita than that of any
country on earth. Sugar has gone sky
ward, and the crop will bring about
$40,000,000 more than the usual price.
In addition Cuba has more than $780,,
100000 from the bonds which have
been recently allowed to the soldiers.
From these two sources alone it has
now $60,0O0,000 more than year ago,
and all this in a population of 1,50O,-
900 souls. This means an average in
crease of $40 for every man, woman
and child in the country, or, at five to
the family, an increase of 5000 per
family. To realize that, suppose that
every family in the United States
could suddenly add 5000 to it's present
pile. Suppose that every mother g
son of you and every mothers daugh-
ter, too, had $40 more than you had
last year, or, in any year preceding,
and you have the condition of the Cuba

sum would almost all GO into immediate

day.
They have more. Every business is

THE MATTER OF CREDITS.

The European nations give time here
On every bill sold. On some things
they give three, six and nine months.
and in certain branches of business
eighteen months. There is no reason
why Americans should not trade with
the Cuban merchants on the same
basis that they trade with home mer-
chants. The commercial houses here
are old and well established. Their f.
nancial standing can easily be ascer-
tanned, and many of them are perfectly
good. If the United states would have
the bulk of the business here it must
give as good terms as other nations.

things in proportion. The only books
sold are paper novels. although one

cerned. Such plantations often run in
to the thousands of acres, and it re-
quires several thousand acres to sup.
port one good-sized sugar mill. It is
different with tobacco, vegetables, fruit
and coffee. Those crops can be raised
on small farms. That is also the case
with cattle, although stock farming is
more proftably conducted on large
ranches.
','This country is one of the best cat
tie countries in the world,'' continued
the consul general. "We have land
here which raises grass from twelve to
fifteen feet high, upon which the cattle
will keep fat the year round. They
need no grain whatever, and there is
no expense for barns or stables. Our
cattle were all killed off during the
war, but prior to that time there were
as many as 100000 head on the is
land. Since the war closed we have
been getting our meat ON the hoof
from Texas, Venezuela, Porto Rico and
elsewhere. We have, I venture, some
thing like 100000 cattle in Cuba now,
and more than 100000 on the register

how well cattle do here. You can

A TALK WITH OUR CONSUL
GENERAL.

Perhaps no American in Cuba is
better posted on the situation than Mr.
Frank Steinhart, the consul general
from the United States. He was here

try. He has done much for American
trade since then and he sees Cuba

every other person you met; many of
the children were skin and bones. The
cattle had been eaten up during the
war, and there was practically no meat
for sale at prices which the people
could pay. There was no money. The
merchants had no business. Everything
was poverty. Today the people here
are fat and well dressed. All have
plenty and money to spend. Business
