抄録

This paper is concerned primarily with the effects of the Wilson-Gorman Tariff on the Cuban sugar economy, which some scholars insist triggered the Cuban Revolution. Unexpectedly, however, they misunderstand those effects. A distinguished historian, Louiz A. Pérez, Jr., argues that the Wilson-Gorman Tariff repealed the privileged status of Cuban sugar in the United States and caused a devastating blow to the island. The Wilson-Gorman Tariff certainly annulled the Foster Canovas Treaty, a reciprocal agreement, but it had never given the privileged status to Cuban sugar. Therefore its repeal caused no severe results. Furthermore, Pérez, Louis E. Aguilar, and Walter LaFeber insist that the Wilson-Gorman Tariff drastically decreased the export of Cuban sugar in 1896. Indeed, the production diminished, but it was not the result of the Wilson-Gorman Tariff but of the Liberation Army’s strategy, which aimed to sabotage and destroy the Cuban economy. The Wilson-Gorman Tariff and the Spanish reaction certainly changed the trade relationship between the United States and Cuba. Its effects, however, appeared not on the Cuban sugar export but the Cuban importation from it, such as foodstuffs.
