INTERESTING ASPECI3 OF OUR BUSINESS WITH CU3A (uiin 1«» Our Exiiorln More Than OlV vi»t by liii'miKi* I»i Ailvcrwe Trade ll.iliiik t'N, Lonm in lleveiiue and In jury i<» Doiuetikic liiteri'HtM. In cßtiiuntiiiK tlie value and advan- i tajje of reciprocity as illustrated in our j trade with Cuba the admirers of that j system apparently are able to see but j oae aspect of the case. They confine I their appreciation of tlie blessings of j reciprocity to the single fact that our 1 salt .< to Cuba have increased from s2l,- : 701,038 in 11 iil.j, ano treaty year, to | .s;;,s,:jSO,tiUO in l!inr>, a full treaty year. | 'lliis increase of .'*l •».(»is. I . in goads j exported to Cuba is accepted as cou- | ciusively demonstrating the perfect j working of this reciprocity arrange- | uient. The demonstration is good as far as it pies. Hut there is another i side to the proposition—in fact, several j other sides—lor example, the trade lial- ! anee side. In 1908 (iiscal yean, before we had | entered into the reciprocity experiment, \ our purchases from Cuba amounted to j U2.T!Hi. and our sales to Cuba were jf::i,7iil,tWß; adverse trade balance, Mil' 1.152. In i!Hi4 (liscal year), with six months i»f reciprocity, our sales had increased to > _'7,077, !<)•>, and our purchases had increased u> $7ti.!!8.!,41M; adverse trade balance, ,* Uu.< an increase of SS,- 4:M,m I over 1!>03. In liiuo (fiscal year), with twelve full mouths of reciprocity, our sales to Cu ba had increased to jjvi&SSO.OOO, but o;.r purchases from Cuba had increased to :• N0.301.2r>9, leaving an adverse trade b lance of $17,!123,059. There was, it is true, in 1005 a slight increase in the share of the United Ssiatc. in the total volume of Cuba's import trade as compared with the no treaty year oi' 1903, but tli© fact re mains that in I;H<5 we were furnishing Cuba a cash surplus of about $48,000,- i 00 wi;h which to buy goods from com peting countries. The.: there is the customs revenue side. Under the terms of our bargain we reduced our tariff 25 per cent on cigars and tobacco of the value of $14,- 871.2.55, the loss of revenue amounting to about $3,01:0,000. On the siSß,3So,noo worth of sugar and molasses and other dutiable articles the tariff reduction of 2<i per cent amounted in round figures to s7,<::> >,OOO, so that the total loss of revenue in 1905 was $10,000,000. The gain of $10,018,902 in our 1905 export ■■ to Cuba as compared with ex ports in the no treaty year of 1903 is partially offset by our $10,000,000 loss in revenue. The fact is that three-fifths of the ex pense of gaining export trade with Cu ba is being paid out of the United States treasury. All the people of the United States are being taxed for the benefit of the relatively few people who are increasing their profits through larger sales to Cuba. Moreover, the loss of 5'10,000,000 a year in revenue is the chief cause of the deficit in the na tional treasury. Then, again, there is the industrial side of the Cuban reciprocity question, '"'be heavy increase in imports of leaf lobacci and cigars from Cuba by rea son of the reduced tariff duties lias to a practically equivalent extent diminish ed the demand for the production of dome iie leaf tobacco and cigars of do me '.ic manufacture. This loss to these two industries may be roughly estimat ed at $3,000,000 a year at least. The loss to the industries concerned j in beet sugar'production in the United | States has been many times greater I than 53,000,000 by reason of there diieed duties on Cuban sugar provided | for in the reciprocity arrangement. Truman (1. Palmer, a recognized au thority on domestic beet sugar produc tion, is responsible for the statement I that "Cuban reciprocity headed off the construction of some eighty new plants ! which were projected in 1901 and which would have required over forty millions of dollars' worth of new Amer ican machinery and other material and which would have annually turned some twenty millions of ( Urn dollars into the pockets of the American farm ers and as much more into the pockets ; of Am erican laborers." It will be seen, we think, by any un prejudiced ob crvi r that on the whole the g.in of slo,otH,lHi2 111 our e.\i.>|ls to Cuba in 19H5. under the reciprocity arrangement, has proved a cosily gain.
