It concludes as follows:
Glancing now at the ad minis tra

the. palsied hand of greed shap-
mg tbe policy and marring the
destiny of a great nation; we see
golden gods, bonded altars, syn-
dicate priests and interest bear-

made the master and man made

ea ana numanitv wearv: we see
hypocricy enthroned and false

Here are the altars of liberty
equality and justice from which

age tne toiler, that cheer the oa-

that build a state. "
Here we see a man who courted
not the rich, who served humani

Another popular misconception
concerning Cuba is that its native
population is composed .almost
entirely of negroes. The fact is
that of the 1,600,000 people at the
last census more than 1.000.000
were whites ani less than 500,000
negroes. There were 50,000
Chinese in the island. Cuba is
not only one 01 tne most fertile
regions of the world, but it is also
exceedingly rich in minerals. Its
iron ores are unsurpassed, it has
an abundance" of coal, an enor
mous quantity of hard woods and
rich deposits of gold . The island
has been so little developed that
possibilities cannot be estimated.
