Excerpt from Reciprocity With Cuba: Hearings Before the Committee on Ways and Means, Fifty-Seventh Congress, First Session, Thursday, January 23, 1902, Cane-Sugar Interests Against Reciprocity The first proposition is that there exists really no reason for the cry that comes from Cuba. That proposition involves the question of our home industrial rights. The other proposition is that if it be true that there be no ground for this appeal from Cuba to the United States, then it will be our duty to uncover the hypocrite who is masking behind this people and causing Cuba to voice his cry, and to fasten upon him the crime which he seeks to perpetrate upon the industries of the United States, and has the effrontery to ask you to aid him in perpetrating. He alone has the evil will and desire, but, thank Heaven, you alone have the power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
