% RECIPROCIx V AND -PROTECTION.;
; "The. granting: of reciprocity' ; with; Cuba
is a proposition which;- stands 'entirely
alone.:. The' 'reasons for v it; far' outweigh;
those for granting reclprocity.Jwith. any
other "nation, and are entirely consistent
with preserving intact the, protective: sys
tem under which this country .has' thriven
so marvelously. The present tariff 'law
was designed to promote .the adoption ;of
such a /reciprocity/^ treaty, :'. and i expressly.;
provided; for a "reduction 'not to} exceed
20 ■_ per cent, upon goods : coming 5 from ;. a
particlar country," leaving' the tariff rates
on the same articles uncnanged as regards
all other countries. .v^ojectionV Has ' ; been
made' to -the granting/of .the reduction; on
the; ground that ; the . substantial % benefit,
would not : go to the agricultural producer
of sugar, but. would inure to. the'Arnericah;
sugar refiners.';' ln my judgment ' provision
can and should .'-be made which will guar
antee us against this possibility/.: without
having recourse to a ; measure of doubtful
policy,, such as a bounty in ; the form" of
a- rebate. •-.., ■ :■ :■;-/; - . ■ -.'-. ;.■/ v. .
" "The question as to which, if any,, of the
different' ; schedules of the tariff ougnt
most 'properly, to be revised does not en
ter intothis' matter jh.atiy.way or. shape.;
\7e : are concerned with getting, a friendly ■_
reciprocal arrangement wi J.i .Cuba.; This;
arrangement ; applies to; all; the articles
that Cuba grows 'or produces. It is not
in our power to determine what these ar
ticles shall bo, and any discussion of the
tariff : aa ; It. affects special schedules or
countries other than Cuba Iswholly aside
from the subject matter to which I, call

' ' EFFECTS ON INDUSTRY... ;
"Some, of our citizens oppose the lower-
Ing of the tariff fon Cuban .products' just
as three years ago they; opposed the; ad
mission of the Hawaiian islands lest free
trade with 7 them , might ruin 7 ; certain of
our Interests here. In the actual' event
their fears proved baseless ..fas /regards
Hawaii, and their - :; apprehensions:; as ? to
the- damage to any; Industry, of our own :
