April , 188u. lie afterwards stool for Br-
mingham , hut was defeated , anti was then
, returnc1 [ for South l'adillngton. From 1880
onward he made hlmselt conspicuous In the
House and on public rostruls by the violence
ot his slleeche3 against the liberal party , and
he was chief member ot the section oC the

accession ot Lor1 [ Salinbury's government to
once , In 188u , ho filled the post ot secretary

ns almost , I not \ quite , the only leader , and
It was commonly saul that the mantle ot
Lord Ieaconsfeld hal fallen upon the young ,
) able , irrepressible , hut acute chief ot the I
tory democracy. Lord Randolph's short ten-
tire oC the India olce was marked by the
annexation ot Upper Burmah. Departmental

10ME 1 RULE FOR TiE CUBANS
Spain Will Try that 'oad Out of thet
.ifcultics with ' ! Country ,
CARE NOT TO RElNQUI H SOVEREIGNTY
Cuba \0 Un Aihowed to 1.ovy leI Own Tariff
hulks Subject to the A&'provnl or the
1010 UOVrnllut-UoIO " Too
SI" . tn Bo EffectIve. :
WAShINGTON , Dcc 2-The government
of Spain , In an earnest desire to evade the
threatened tariff war between Cuba ant"the
United States has under serious and Cavorn-
biD consideraton the cessation to Cuba ot the
priviege ot arranging her own revenue
budget , Including tariffs with the United
S tates . This Cuban bUdget Is to be sub-
Jecl j to the approval oC Spain. The negotia-
tons ( now progressing al MadrId are partly
on Iheso lines but lie
lnes , ( State department
authorities are proceeding , neverlheless , with
their t retaliatory plans , ' as they do nol believe
Spain's concsslcus to Cuba can b2 carried
oul and mantle bnefcial to us for sOle
months to come. The signifcance ot the
mater In its commercIal ali polItical aspects '
Is I fully realized.
I Is said Spain Will be careful not to relinquish -
Inqulsh her so\'erel/nty over the Island , nor
to perm II this to become the fIrst step toward -
ward Cuban Independence. For that reason
th conlem'lated prIvilege wil not Include
tul "home rule. " The general purpose L
to give Cuba advisory powers. ler local
officials will tale up the economic necessities -
ties or the Island , estmate the needed revenue -
hue Cram tarIff duties and ad\'lse the SpanIsh -
bib government of duties that should be
levied , and or other measures which ought to
be taken In order to secure , the best results
for the Islands. Whlo Spain would tItus
retain complete sovereignty over Cuba , It Is
suggested that the home government would ,
as a rule approve Cuba's revenlo budget
with tle United Stntes
In the present contenton between Spain
and the United States , the Cubans arc
solicitous oC retaining their American mar-
kets for sugar , and , IL Is urged for this rea-
soil the local officials would undoubtedly ad-
vise a lowering oC tariff dutIes with the
United States Spain's approval would follow -
low , almost certainly , her approval In real-
Ity being largely a formalIty performed In a
desire to show her purpose ) oC retaining sov-
ereigty over the Island.
EXPORTERS ARE CLAIOROUS.
WhIle It Is recognized In omclal circles
here that this chano doubtless would be ,
benefcial to the United States , It Is feared '
such extensive changes In the relations between -
tween Spain and Cuba cannot be made within
reasonable tme , and that before the Unltel , .
States could titus secure n reduction of tariffs ,
our trade with Cuba and Porto Rico will be ,
Irreparably Injured The great importing , '
houses ot the Atlantic cities :
thI Atantc cites arc clamoring
at the doors or the State department and
threaten to appeal to congress for , some
speedy action to protect their bualtuess They
represent that al present the United States I
Is losing a trade oC 700,000 barrels oC lour
per annum . , all oC our commerce In machinery -
chinery , formerly purchas by the Cubans I
exclusively In the United States all oC the i
'
hardware and a large proportion of the
Ilotato trade , a very Important part or our
export to the West Indies. The total re- :
ducton In our exports to 'Cuba Cor the year
since , the lapse oC the rclprocly agreement .
wi amount to not less tItan 50 per' cent.
The tables preparCI by the ' , exporters ' .
showing the extent oC the dlscrlmlnat
aSlnsl United States products under th
minimum tariff recently Imposed ! by thl
hove satisfied the State department that ther ;
Is 'no opporlunly for Antericans unless thQ I
tafiffs arc abated. All the arJument ! oC It t
Spain In extenuation oC her acton In Increasing -
creasing the duties have been based OJ the
contenton that I was an Inevitable cense -
quenco oC . the repeal oC the reciprocity -
clproclY agreement by our arl1 c
act , 111 thaI this was to exclude
Ihe United States from the benefits oC the
minimum tariff . No mater whal the dispo -
siton of the Spanish govcrnment may have
beenj In fact , that It was the result oC our :
own . act. But at the State department , I I
Is held that the rechlrocly agrtnorut has
nothing to do with the case and that the
president has no discretion under the law
bul must reimpose the discriminatIng lag
duties as soon as he Is satIsfIed the Spanish
government Is dlscrlnlnatng against our
'
commercc.
