coughing.
The Emperor, as usual. worked hard at his

ters. the Archduc1ess Gisela, wife pf Prince

CUBANS BEG H TREATY.
Reciprocity agreement Denounced
Banking La7cs Asked.

Havana Oct. lS-The Cuban Agricultural
League, Fernandez de Castro. president. which
Includes among its membership many prominent
sugaT and tobacco planters. presented a petition
20 Governor Magoon to-day suggesting several
remedies for the present economic troubles Of
Cuba The petitioners say that they have long
but vaiHly desired new banking laws for Cuba
bHa the establishment of an agricultural bank.
They set forth also that the railroad law pro-
mugs-ed in the first period Of Intervention has
become a dead letter. with the result OF poor
and expensive railroad service fatal TO the In
terests OF producers.
The reciprocity treaty with the United States
IS denounced as a complete failure because. it
Is alleged the American sugar combination con-
trols the renneries and deprives the planters OF
the benefit Of the rebate. The remedy for the
agricultural evils the petition says. must come
from the United States. which. If they have the
right 10 intervene for the purpose Of their for
eign policy, must logically assume the duty Of
preserving US 20 civilization. We need new
treaty Of commerce with the United states,
which is our commercial mother country.
In conclusion the petition says: we request
In the name Of the producing classes of Cuba
that you petition the President Of the United
States TO use his influence 10 induce the Amer
lean people TO agree with people on a new
commercial treaty. more effective than the
present one and with a tendency more or less
gradual toward that free commercial exchange
which should exist between the two republics"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
FOREST DETERMINATION.
ditor of The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The rapidity with which American forests
are melting away under the axe and the saw is
frightful 1t is reported by the United States Cen
sus Bureau that during the year 1906 21 900 sawms
cut up timber estimated to have produced 10000
coo 900 feet lumber measurement. The value OF this,
the mill at average price of so per 1000 feet
(the higher priced product is worth more than
double thaD. would reach S10OO0OOO,O0O This is
appalling, when 1t is estimated that with such a
ferocious consumption this all forests will be
swept away within the next twenty-five years.
The total value of all agricultural and wool prod
ucts in the United States during the year 1906. in
Guiding corn. cotton, hay, wheat. oats, potatoes,
wool, barley, tobacco, laXseed rye and buckwheat,
s9622 491. and the value of all domestic ami
mails, and all cattle. sheep and swine was
a,503,55s.S4S. The aggregate value OF these farm
and stock products S5125 6S4, ,339 only a rihe
than onehalf the total forest products for the
same year.
These facts indicate the Importance of government
supervision of great forest areas in order that
the land need not be wholly denuded- Only one-ffth
Of our woodlands under the control of the gov
ernment which regulates the methods and extent
of their consumption for commercial and other
proper uses. Congress cannot too soon provide for
government supervision of the Appalachian, White
Mountain and other forest ranges which. under the
existing destructive policies will within few years
reduce our splendid wooded heritage to a waste and
desolaion. Let forests be saved for the people
and not exterminated for the corporations.
As a for protection and for the continued
existence of magnificent forests may 1t not be
wisely considered protection to this great source
Of wealth. before its utter determination, for Con-
gress to admit foreign forest products of all kinds
free of tariff duties? This would be preserving the
policy Of protection to American sources OF health
and wealth. In this instance our protective tariff
is materially aiding in the rapid destruction of our
great source OF national wealth and prosperity
immense and invaluable forests. To admit
wood products from all the world free of duty
would help to arrest the process of extirpation at
home.
This 7 say without the slightest deviation from
my lifelong devotion to the policy of effective and
thorough protection to American labor, industry
and capital the great sheet anchor firmly en-
bedded In the clay Of nations life to hold
steadfast national wealth and prosperity. Yours
truly. J. RICE WINCHELL.
