Waahmgt inril 1. 1 hainnaB Payne yesterdaj preaented to the houaa the report of the ways and mean-- committee on the Cuban rent prOCity bill, which the coiniiuMee had . rdered reported earlier 111 the day. Pi-r reciting President Booaevelt'l reyi tiimciidatioiis in behulf of Cuba Mr. Pa j Ii- say s: "Our relations to Cuba are peculiar In our declaration of war with sp un, end ever slUCC, we have solemnly proclaimed to the world that our object Wa to give Cuba a stable and independent government. Wo have la bored for more than Ihre' years tfl accomplish that result, and in this -ndi. iv or we have spared no expense During the yeara of preparation we have given her an example of the be Befit of law and good order, f cleanliness and of the preservation of the public health, and of good government generally. She has organised her government under .. constitution and is now ready to launch forth amoBg the nations of the earth in the month of May." Mr. Payne explains the lepros oa condition of the Cuban sugar industry na lue to the worde overprodu5 Hon of sugar, and says: This condition threatened gruva disaster to this, the principal industrial product of Cuba. It is true that labor in Cuba is. and for the pr.st three months has been, fully env ploy d at fair Wages, und that there has been n distress, but a trustworthy writer, an American not in ti-ri'steil in sugar, und a careful ole Serv. r. sltys under date of Match B0: "'W hile the masses of Cuba are not actually suffering from lack of food, the planters and business men are on the verge of collapse and bankruptcy, and are anxiously hoping for concessions in the United States tariff, in order that they may receive new life and hope. The merchants have large sums ..f money trusted out. and are not paying each other. They are simply holding each other up in tiie bopl of obtaining relief, an. I if failures once begin they will run like wild fire.' "All the evidence received liefort the Committee points to a conclusiot that the crisis threatened involves the most serious consequences. "This threatened tinancial distress. 60Biesl fit the very time we are about to s.-t the Cuban gov eminent up in business on its own account. We have performed the part of a guardian up to the present moment, and are about to send the ward forth into the world, we ciui md afford to take the risk of her failure if little time ly aid will insure success." The report adds that wc art! bound to earn for our own people, but after reviewing fhe American sugar situation, says: "It can work no injury to our in dttStry if we make this small reduction on Cuban sugars. The enactment Of this bill will not affect the protection of the sugar producers of the Fnited Stati-s. There is no reasonable pretense that the same reduction OB id her Cuban products will injur any other American Industry." The report asserts that the planterfind not The refineries will receive the benefits of the reduction, and adds : "I'uba does not come simply as mendicant, nor should she be treated as such. she offers a good trade in return. This she is willing to con- . de. Coder the provisions of the bill, we should be able to double the amount of our export trade with CuhO, Which amounts to tt,0O0J)0Q more then that vv.- abtatned in the last Hsi ul J ear." In conclusion, the report SBVS! "It is a happy circumstance that without any injury to our own industries ami without the loss of anything except seven or eight million dollara of revenue, which are do not need. WO are able to extend this relief to I nbn ami nt the same lime güt reciprocal trade relations with her." sob from the exceptional cast, lhat Cuba presents, the action of the committee is in entire accord with the reciprocity doctrine of the republiean platform anil the declarations of Fn -idiiit McKinley and President Roosevelt, It Invotvea no propose.' revision nf the tariff or anything not entirely in harmony of the main tenanca of the protective system.
