I have not the Cuban figures. but .I did investigate the subject several years -ago. and there is not much difference in the wages paid in the two countries. The Senator will not be able to show that there is much difference. Again. the coolie labor is -found to be very inefficient and expensive labor. That is not the trouble. When I was interrupted by the pagebrInging me thefigures I had sent for. and I returned for .that reason to the subject I had been discussing before that. I was saying that the cane Industry in Louisiana was a century old.- that It had been stimulated for many years in the past with protection. except probably for a little while. when a bounty -was paid them. and the same story we .hear today was sung then.
