Tawney’s opposition to Cuban reciprocity blamed on sugar trust
The article argues that Tawney’s stance against reciprocity with Cuba harmed planters and boosted the sugar trust. It claims after reciprocity failed, planters were bankrupted and sold, enabling the trust to buy most of the Cuban sugar while consumers saw no benefit. The piece ties Tawney’s actions to profits for the sugar trust and ties the Cuban deal to the Platt Amendment.
