Cuban Cane Sugar 



plied by almost six before it equals

 during the next fifty years as it has 

 during the past fifteen, we must 

 increase our facilities for producing

 ance of this crop among the world's 

 basic productions has, during the 

 past hundred years, been established 

 beyond question or doubt.
