SUGAR MILL AT WORK
The raw
sugar produced by Cuba totals five
2 million tons per year; but provides the sustenance
of a very small part of the natives. The low price
of sugar paid by refiners leaves no margin for the
planter who scarcely covers his expenses and the
cane cutter who made a good living in the past, is
now satisfying his hunger with sugar
cane and
coffee, earning a few cents daily, sometimes one
dollar. Naturally this hand work is imported. Wall
street absorbers should be sent here to cut cane.
