Now that Cuba is hoping for her free- idom it may be interesting to inquire ’into the resources of tihe country and (ask what may be her prospects for prosperity. when she is no longer re- strained and. overtaxed by the greedy government. of Spain. The area of Cuba. is about. ~1.2.,000 square miles. Its igreatest length is 700 miles, and its lbreadth ranges from. 20 to 135 miles. Perhaps there is no space of earth the equal in size to Cuba that can begin to compare with her in the production of “those tlhimgs that are useful to man. lAintonio Hurdles, a noted authority lhas prepared a table showing the va- riety and quantities of the staples (that cam be raised on a tract of thirty-three acres in Cuba. A farm_of that. size in one year produces thousands of pounds of sugar, wifee, tobacco, cacao. (chocolate), cotton, indigo, corn. rice, sage, bananas and yucca. With‘ its mild climate, its exuberant. vegetation and this eagerness of bhe earth to re- spond to the slightest. efforts in the way of owlture, Cuba offers ain ideal home for the main in love with the agricultural life. ~ THE COMMERCE OI“ CUBA. eve/n under the blight-tug rule of the ‘Spaniard, has been great.

Of manufactured cigars 147,365,000 were exported wad of den and to swarm with population: to develop almost every art of peace; to be converted into an industrial mic- rocosm. in the macrocosm of the world at large.
