WATERLOO. Ia Jan. 23. In a letter re
ceived here today Speaker Henderson puts
himself on record as against ny revision
of the tariff by tho preeent congross. The
letter. Is a response to a petition , signed
by seventy republican business men of
Waterloo and Cedar Falls. Speaker Hen
derson admits that some change might
wlsoly bo made In tho preeent tariff, but
seoa so much danger In opening up the
subject for revision that ho would leavo It
as It Is. Ho says:
My Judgment In that It Is more Important
at this time, In tho Interest of this country,
to reduce taxation upon ourselves nnd stop
to n proper degree the Influx of thn peo
ple's money Into the public treasury.
While the country Is In an unparalleled
prosperous condition, 1 cannot believe It

and Police Commissioners a more strict , .T, nn concessions to Cuba, were also numerously
represented.
Tho opening statement In behalf ot the
cano sugar Interests was made by J. u.
Hill of New OrlcanB, an extonsivo planter.
He assorted that tho sugar trust was bo
hind the Cuban movement and pressnted
statistics to show that tho result of con
cessions to Cuba would make tha sugar
trust tho real beneficiary, constituting that
organization a colossal monopoly in -Cuba.
Mr. Hill said It was a matter of atnaxe-
raent that at a tlmo when Germany waa
using the utmost effort to develop the
siicaf lndustty those who represent tho
American peoplo should consider a proposi
tion which would have tho effect ot destroy
ing tho American Industry and ot placing
the production of sugar under foreign con
trol. If the lands of Louisiana wero ho
longer used forsugar Mr. Hill said there'
was no other line of production to wnicn
they could be profitably turned. In answer
to auoatlona by Representative Long of
Kansas Mr. Hill said a CO per cent roauc
tlon would reduce tho prlco on raw sugar,
but not on refined, the price on the latter
being fixed In Hamburg.
Mr. Hill opposed any reduction on raw or
refined sugar, but If such reduction became
a necessity ho did not favbr a reduction
on tho refined article.
Ex-Qovornor Wnrmouth ot Louisiana
made a vigorous speech opposing conces
sions to Cuba. He referred to General
Wood's activity In the movement, which
Indicated. Governor Warmoutb said, that
Governor Wood had become infatuated with'
Cuba and his Spanish associates.
The speaker maintained that the Cubans
who were urging this concession wero buy
ing their goods In Spain and England, and
yet "had tho choek" to come to an Ameri
can congress for help.
During the examination of Robert Ox
nard, Representative Long presented a jot
ter from John D. Spreckles, the California
sugar producer, to members of tho com
mittee. Mr. Spreckles said In his letter
that tn bis opinion the beet sugar Industry
could stand a smalt cut on raw sugar, but
not on refined sugar. '
Mr, Oxnard declined to discuss tho state
ments In Mr, Spreckles' letter. Owing to
the large number ot persons desiring to be
heard Chairman Fayno decided to continue
the hearing tomorrow, thoso opposing Cuban
concession to have until noon, after which
tlmo (t Is expected that some of the offi
cials of Cuba wltl be beard In favor at
reciprocity.
