He spo'.ie of tie enormoas overproduction, of sugar throughout the world, arcountlns to abrat 1.500, OCO (tons, which had resulted in a cris s in the Industry. European countries had met this by bounties, so that the German producers, by. means of a bounty, were able to soil sugar at half a cent per prwpd below its cost of pro duction. The .cost of production ' la Cuba was 2.00 ceats per pouad, which was somewhat above the selling price. Mr Atkins stated Jiiat.ihere was now about f20.C00.0C0 of Etaniing cane in Cuba and at' present prices a coasi'd erdbie part of this would not be har vested The loss to labor, he thought, wss likdy to lead to disturbances. At the time set for tho withdrawal cf American troops there would be. 'In his oriSoa. a deficit la the In.tular revenues which were largely recruited rrom the sugar industry. Mr. At'!ii s!at-?j that a 50 per cent, reduction of duties -was desired on the various pro ducts of the Island, but in response lo. Inquiries from Mr. Payne he said that the s.ii.'ar Industry feit they should have a 100 per rent, reduction. He WJ3 opposed to a drawback. Mr. At'tim said that If pr';s"iit C3ndllicn3 ccnMn .i:ed Cuba probably would become so desperate as tq be forced Into annex ation.

At present, be sad, Cuba was buyin? larpe quentltles of foreign goods and -if reciprocity was bro"t;iit about with tho I'nited States, Cuba would buy American ' cotton goods, wine, and many other articles now bought abroad. He believed this mar kct Jn Cuba would amount to $250,000,- 000 within two years. Franks II.
