By far the greater part of these imports should come from the United States. With Cuba independent and prosperous its market will be of great value to us. And then. too. by the terms of the bill Cuba must adopt immigration. exclusion. and contractlabor laws as restrictive as the laws of the United States. This check upon the immigration of cheap labor can not fail to be of benefit to our own producers. It has been urged that the Cuban producers (whom. we are seeking to aid) would not receive the benefit of the proposed reductionin duties. as so large a proportion of this years crop had already been sold. Investigation does not justify this inference. reports from official sources showing that an insignificant amount has been disposed of.
