Accoidinsrly the House went into com mittee of the whole (Mr. Sherman of New l'ork in the chair). ' It was de cided that the time Should be eouallv divided for and against the bill. Mr. Payne then began, his argument. In opening he pointed out the peculiar relations existing between the United States and Cuba, growing out of the war, to whieh..he remarked he had been opposed.' and the limitations placed upon Cuban independence by the PJatt amend ment and the obligations which it placed upon the. United States. It was our duty, he argued, "to see that the new government' was started under the. best auspices and to do all in our power iu uiHKf me ei penmen i success-mi. IfCuba was to have a-chance to be come a free and independent republic, he declared, it was absolutely necessary to tide her over the present crisis. The 20 per cent reduction would save the plan ters from hanhruptcy until the removal of the bounty system in Europe, which J the Brussels conference abolished to takev effect September 1, 1903. It was hoped this would result in the return of sugar to its normal price. He charged that "part of the opposi tion to this bill was in reality seeking to bring about free trade with Cuba. It was noticeable that Mr. Payne ad dressed:" his remarks entirely to .those Republicans who are opposing1 reciproc ity. IIo seldom even looked over to ward the Democrats on the other side of the political aisle, " He believed that in time the United States exports to Cuba would amount to $200,000,000 a year, While he did ;not want Cuba annexed he believed that in time she would be a part of the United States. Mr. Newlands ,was recognized in op- iwsition to the bill. Mr. Newlands stated at the outset that he was opposed to any tariff concessions to Cuba which were not accompanied by an invitation on the part of the United States to have her become a part of this country. He directed attention r to tne fact mat it would notV; cneapen sugar any to me American consumer to give, Cuba the concessions provided for in te pending bill. The entire sugar, product of tnoa, he said, combhied with our own, includ ing that of "Porto Rico and Hawaii, equalled only, about ? two-thirds of our consumption, -leaving one-thiTd to be imported and "paid- for at the world's price pine the duty rates of the Ding ley law. Tfie people of the United States, he said, wiU "still have to pay some eigh ty: or ninety. million dollars year more for their ;; Sit pat than the world's price of thai staple. . ' The bilt; lie "-said;' was was ostensibly in the interest of Cuba, and' for the firet time in his' memory the American cor gress wls foiuid sbapin? the revehue laws of th country in the interest of a foreign people. ; -, . 1 . Leaving tbe possible advantage to tne sugar trust vnitf of consideration the benefits, he declared would ianre wholly to the Cuban planters . In Teturn for this concession the Cuban government required to make an. eJiai cut in au- ber of the Way and Mean Committee,' after a humorouaantroduction,- referring to the t division, oyer .the pending" bill; and narrating Marshal Ney's 'reportto Napoleon, "Sire,.
