SPAIN'S RELATIONS TO CUBA. In the first place, for over one hundred years ‘Cuba Das not, in point of fact, belonged to Spain. ‘The fundamental duty of all government 1s the Protection of life and property. Spain has never in ‘@ single instance, or particular, discharged this | juisite of ownership toward: ‘The actual | Ria damaubie bistory ot spalu's relations to its | Fichest and greatest West Indian possession Yalized to the diamond-poin | adage: “Cuba es la vaca a ‘Wempo que la vaca no da Ire cow; Dut was long ago milk last’ she has been held as a dependency to be robbed and ravished by Spanish officials at the point of the bayonet. The history of every suc- | cessive. §) cabinet, despite the protestive | force of iiderality and humanity tn all civilized governments, has been a record of ever-increasing Fecklessness and injustice toward Cuba, ‘The elevation of every Spanish minister of the colonies ‘has been recognized through all Spain, from time | ‘memorial, as a special reward to royal procura- | Yor or public thief; his prime fitness alone being | measured by ‘his devilish ingenuity in | | | | IS Spain’s | ).

Jess creatures of ‘each succeeding Coio- Bial government have vied with their predeces- g0rs in wrong and rapine. They are not mere wympathetic assertions. These comprise a mod- fate statement of villamous facts which any one 4m a day’s scanning of internation. history can | easily ascertain. The revoit acainst this scanda- | Jous misrule by most of Spain's North and South- | American colonies was practically | simultaneous and, because such, secured important moral an Tnateriai support from the Unived States and Ens: | land, and was successful. Witness the result: A | hain of free republics, to the south of ‘us, s0 closely in sympathy with ‘all progress and | aspiration through liberty, that freedom trom | ain on the American continent (unless It re- | main in Cuba) is forever assured. | THE CUBAN KEVOLUTION. Because of the indescribable natural tuxurtance | and incalculable natural wealth of Cuba; because this particular goiden cow of Spain could longest sustain an interminable stripping; because those ‘who hoped for Cuba ever looked Turward for some Sort of relief from the United States, the tolera- on of intolerable conditions here continued than im other Spanish-American colontes. | ‘Then came the revolution of 1868. All considera- | Wons of justice aside, whether that memorable | struggle for independence deserved suostantial | and complete recognition by t | Dest answered by Spain's ows ieost, The war lasted from the patched-up peace of Lanjoa, February 10, 1878, @ period of nearly ten years, and according to the estimate of Governor-General Don Joaquin | Jovella, 200,000 combatants perishes OF through ‘disease; the contest «eso! Drovinces, and the cost in mon: Spain | and Cuba was upward of $70,000,000. In other Words, the entire power Of Spain expended im the attempted subjugation of a ittie island Whose total population never exceeded a mill! and a half souls, was for ten years inadequate to | enforce the suprem .cy of Its authority. And then, and then only, Was a quast victory secured by & Practical treaty of peace with tue herote revolu- Uonists, In Which tbeir laying down of aris was conditioned upon sacred piedges by Spain that: “The island of Cuou Is granted un organic and ad- ministrative régime equal to the oue Which rules Porto Rico; complete amnesty and liberation of all slaves and Asiatic colonists who fought in the ranks of the insurrection; Cuba tobe permanently | battle Fepresented in the cortes by het own deputies dULy | elected, and thus to recover the privilege of Which She Was deprived In 1536." THIS TREATY OF PEACE was accepted by the Cubans in perfect. good faith. It was a step gained toward relief from intolerable conditions. The resumption of agriculture, bust- | ness and all human activities throughout the | island, was begun with as genuine loyalty as was | ever khown on the part of any carnest people who | sought only the greatest good for their loved country. But Spain, wich never Kept a pledge or | Ueaty gave under ‘the whip of iurce, never in- | tended to keep faith with Cuba, and never did 50.

Outside of plunder of citizens and business Inter- ests by Spanish officials, the mountain of debt piled upon the Isiand ts startiingly stupendous, No means of ascertaining the truth can be found. The oMictals Will not give such information. It 1s so tremendous they have doubtless long since ceased to compute it, Fity years ago, when Cuba was the richest spot on the globe for’ its area, $6,000,000 Was sufficient for an annual budget providing boun for Spanish profligacy and great public improve- ments. Sue has been forced for the last twenty years, through the most scandalous taxation, to © an annual budget of fully $35,000,600. hen the irredeemable paper money of her“Span- tsh Bank of Havana,” forced upon the peopie at the point of the bayonet (though all taxes are in the same Way foreed from them ta gold), which must Teach $200,000,000, be taken into account, her ac- tual debt, according to most conservative esti- mates, must reach $500,000,000. More than one- haif of this enormous sum has simply been stolen and pocketed by these military brigands from WHY THE UNITED STATES SHOULD OWN CUBA. It is but fair to answer the unsentimental ques- tion: Should we end this injustice and wrong by buying or taking Cuba, in what would we profit? In these respects, the briefest and truest facts that can ve penned: 1b possessing the very key to the | riches: portions of the American continent; ingain- ing a Winter sanitartum for the alling of Our sixty million of people, whose beauty and value not even the mighty powers of a Humboldt could ftly de- seribe; in owning agendless supply-garden of (ruit, vegetables and flora for the mighty cities of our coast and interior; in adding a inillion and a half already loyal people to’ our population; im securing 43,000 square miles of the richest Soil on the globe; in acquiring boundless forests of valuabié commercial woods worth as they stand to-day fully $2,000,000,000; in owning the most marvelous tobacco-lands in the world; im securing star-lancs producing 800,000 tons of sugar annually, nine-tenths of Wuich isnow consumed by us, without impinging ou (he market of a slugle American sugar-grower Of to-day; In possessing coffee-tands capable of an annual produc 00,00) tons, but 100,000 less Yuan tue World's annual yield, oF three tines the | Whole amount we now annually purchase and | consuiue; Im acquiring asphalt and tmalveral depos- its uneq iu he Same area on the glove; and, Hnaliy, in protecting our own 10,00u citizens now engaged with $200,000,000 of American capital either in Cuba or in direct trade with Cuba, 30 that within ten years 10,000,000 of our citizens and $2,000,000,000 of our captial would thrill and hrive in boundiess huinan progress in this land, if free, of filimitabie posstbilicies, THERE 18 NO HOPE FOR CUBA unless through the active, forceful sympathy of the United States.

It was lost at adiuner; itturned up in his pocket (minus the emerald); he then returned it to itsowner. With- out stopping to question the extreme improb- ability of this story (for who but an idiot would have sent back the skeleton ring?) society accepted {t, and the young man was ruined. One old friend said to him: “Oh! it was you then, you thief, who stole my mother’s opal!” The clubs discussed it, women added on stories of lost bracelets, &c., and the whdle world called Monsieur Scelerat a thief, victim to kleptomania, His father, his grand- father, and his mother’s family, it was remem- Dered, had all been light-fingered; he was accused of many other crimes, and Monsieur Scelerat was condemned to the social galleys. ‘Thep came the lady toa dinner with the ring on her finger, the emerald intact. She exploded the whole. story. ‘She had moved tt up and down on her finger; it had rolled off, as rings will, for they are very play- ful things and get going,’ unconsciously, fond of hiding under bookcases and sideboards; 1¢ slipped away; Monsteur Scelerat trod on it and loosened one of the jewels; he took it to a Jeweler, had the little stone replaced, and then gave it back to its owner. RELENTLESS SOCIETY. Now, did society apologize to Monsleur Scelerat? Never! Didit say, we have injured youand we are sorry? No! It turned a cold shoulder upon him at the next Patriarch’s. If people whispered, “gut Mra, Golightly hay the ring’ om her Gager, they said “Whe wash” and remembered tgnomi- nious stories of nis youth. A youth, no doubt, full of follies. But have not some other youths com- mitted indiscretions? “Whose coat can be turned the wrong side out without betraying here and there @ tattered lining? Why does society find such pleasure in believing the worst? Start a lle on its traveis, it goes ke electricity, nor does 1t have to pay lis way. Start the truth, and it 1s stopped at every station.

The attacks upon women, severe, unreasonable, hid behind the hand far more dangerous than an ‘assault of a brutal foe: for if any one attacks a woman openly all me rush to ‘the rescue.
