The war between United States and Spain must resultin a shaking up of West Indian trade which the Canadian Government should take advantage of. Cuban trade, particularly in sugar, will probably pass into the control of the American Government, and the Dingley tsri' placed in operation. In that event Canada will require to get the large quantity of sugar which Cuba has been supplying from some other country. In the West Indies are sev- eral valuable British islands, the chief of these being Trinidad. The sugar output of these islands for 1896 was valued at over $7,000,000; Canada uses about $6,000,000 worth of sugar per year, hence can take the greater part of the British West Indian out- put. If the Conservative policy of preferential trade were in force, this sugar could be supplied to Canadian consumers at a very low rate. At pre- Ient there is a duty of H50. on every 100 lbs.
