Now that Cuba is assured ul'licr free lorn, it may be interesting to impiire into tbo resources of the country, and ask what may be her prospects for pros- terity when she is no lunger restrained and overtaxed by the greedy government uf Spain. The areuuf Cuba is about d, IMKIsipiaro miles. Iu greatest length is (JO miles, und its breadth ranges from JO to n.1 iiules. l'erhaps there is no pace of earth the eipial in size to Cuba tat cun begin lo compare with her in the pruduetiuu of those things that arc useful to man. Autou'iury .Morales, a noted authority, has prepared a table huwing the variety and fjuantifie of the staples tti.it can be rained on a tract uf thiriy-three acres in Cuba, A farm uf that sizj io one. yeat produces thous- unds uf puuiid.sof sugar, eofTee, tobacco, laeao (ebocolale), cotton, indigo, lice, nge, bananas and vueca. The choicest nds in California uoted for llie variety uud (piautity of their products cannot iippronch the soil uf Cuba in this respect. With its mild climate, it exuberant vege tation and the eagerness of the earth lo pond to the slightest efforts in the wtiy of culture; Cuba offers an ideal home for the man in love with the agricultural The commerce of Cuba, even undtr the blighting rule iff the Spauiaid, bus been great, lu I Stt.'I, before the curse of war fell on the island, Cuba exported 18,2114 tons of Migar, and produced S15,8!l tuns. Its exports uf mulas.es to the Cuited States alone in that year were 7u")d hogsheads. Of rum the ex ports were iSOli pipes, lu ISDI! the Cuban exports of leaf tobacco were L'-7,-S(J") bales, Oi manufactured cigars 1 17,- 105,000 were exported, and of cigarettes ;l!l,.")81,diW packages. These are only the main exports. They show what may be dmie with the exhaustbss soil 1 climate ul the island, wheU its puiple were in a eondiiioii of virtual slavery, at a time when chattel slavery bad been li-lied only seven years. It is au axii tu nf economic science lhat free labor is iiidetinitely more poduelive thau slave labor, and the iiidilsltial growth of the Xpailsioll id industry when eiitcrptie is unhampered by the curse of slavery, aud by foreign poliiiciil interference. Cuba's chief industries were growing ill spite ol the drain upon htr before the present war began, for in 1SIH her total produc tion id' sugar was 1,001-14 tons, an in crease i.f I'llS.o'JO tons over the preceding year. The natural resources of Cuba are infi nite, one may say, in variety. Ol her area oiilv 10 per cent. U uuder cultivation per cent, is tint reclaimed, and I per cent is under forests, (treat tracts ot the Mauds are practically unexplored. She had iu 1S1U a population of a little tij. re llian 1,000,000. Of these nearly one-third have been starved to death during the present war. Cuba could suppurt in plenty a population uflO.OOO,- 000. Her forests arc stocked with the finest woud in the world wood, several pecies of which are as hard as iron. turning the edge of the axe, and remain ing imperishable under water. There are found woods invaluable for (he dye industry, ebony, cedar, fustic, iaucewood, ahogany, rosewoud, jocuma, aeana and many others. There are fll'ty vaiieties of palm. Her fruits are valuable and little cultivated. The climate is admirably uiled for the olive; and the orange, the lemon, the pineapple and the banana are indigenous. The mineral resources of the island are great, yet the mineral industries are in ihtir inlaucy. Almost all the metals are found iu Cuba There aie gold, filver mercury, copper, lead, and all the forms of aspbaltum; antimony, magnesia, cop p'Tas, gypsum, red lead ochre, salt arsenic, lulc and many others. Copper is abundant iu all the me(amrphic rocks of Cuba. It is due lhat coal is yet un discovered, but under a free republic cupiial wouid liow tuio die island, and there is no doubt that true coal would soon be found lo replace the bitumen that is now used, and which is found in springs and mines in great pi.tnlilies. Cuba is rich in marble, uwaitiug the speculator. (I real deposits of this rock are found, and iu the Isle of Pities iherc is nisrble of a quality as Que as the best ! uf lhat material used bv tbo Heulptor. Beautifully colored marble and jasper are common.
