Report on the Commercial and Industrial Condition of the Island of Cuba (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Report on the Commercial and Industrial Condition of the Island of Cuba Several communications and statements from American concerns have suggested the advisability of admitting some of the articles in this schedule free of duty. However desirable this might be, the revenue features preclude the possibility of the admission of anythm g except plows, hoes, machetes, cane knives, etc., for agricultural pur poses, and other agricultural implements, not machinery, free. The sobea ule, however, has been materially reduced and the inequalities, as far as possible, eradicated, and it is believed that in its present shape it will not be burdensome to those enterprises in Cuba which will require the commodities coming in under this class, nor will it retard the American enterprise in its endeavor to supply the Cuban market with manufactures into which metals enter as a principal element.

Industrial Cuba Being a Study of Present Commercial and Industrial Conditions


Book Description

Excerpt from Industrial Cuba Being a Study of Present Commercial and Industrial Conditions: With Suggestions, as to the Opportunities Presented in the Island for American Capital, Enterprise, and Labour His volume deals with the living questions Of Cuba the questions which confront the United States in the reconstruction of the Island. It aims to give a description of Cuba as it appeared to the author when, as Special Com missioner Of the United States, he was sent by President mckinley to report on its industrial, commercial, and finan cial condition, soon after the signing of the protocol Of peace, August 12, 1898. It is the result Of nearly seven months' inquiry and hard work, in which the Island has been visited three times, over five hundred witnesses have been examined, and innumerable statements have been studied and analysed. In the course Of this inquiry the author has visited all the provinces and nearly all the prin cipal cities and towns. The merit of the book lies in the freshness and originality of the material brought together, and the demerit in the fact that it has been written by one who was obliged to snatch a few hours at a time to map Out or write a chapter. The author realises the defects and asks the indulgence of the reader on the ground that it is the first attempt to discuss the economic and political future of Cuba under its new form Of government.
