THE PORTO RICAN BILL. The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the Porto Rican Act, which went into effect May 1: From the date of the passage of the act the same customs duties are levied on all goods entering Porto Rico from foreign countries as are levied on the same goods entering the United States, save that coffee, which has free entry into the United States, is to pay a duty of 5 cents per pound on entering Porto Rico. Scientific, literary and artistic works, and books and pamphlets printed in the English language, may enter Porto Rico free of duty. All merchandise coming into the United States from Porto Rico, and coming into Porto Rico from the United States, shall pay 15 per cent of the present Dingley tariff rates; articles of the class which pay an internal revenue tax in the United States must also pay a sum equal to this internal revenue duty, while articles from the United States going into Porto Rico must also be subjected to any internal revenue rates of taxation there collected on that class of articles. One feature of the act, which heretofore seems to have attracted little attention, is extremely important to the Porto Ricans because it will permit them to import free of any duty nearly all of the necessities of life. Under the orders which the Secretary of War had issued, flour, bacon, codfish, fresh beef, pork, mutton, rice, bags for sugar, coopers' wares and wood cut for making casks for sugar or molasses, machinery and apparatus for making and refining sugar, or for other agricultural purposes, plows, hoes, hatchets, machetes and other agricultural implements not machinery, rough lumber and modern school furniture, crude petroleum, lime, asphalt, bitumen, trees, plants and mosses in natural or fresh state, mineral, carbonated and saltzer waters, either natural or artificial, root beer, ginger ale, and similar non-alcoholic beverages, and numerous other articles are admitted free of duty and will continue to be so admitted under the act, which says specifically that all "merchandise and articles entered in Porto Rico free of duty, under orders heretofore made by the Secretary of War, shall be admitted into the several ports thereof, when imported from the United States will so continue, and other properties acquired from Spain will be administered by the Porto Rican government. The governor is to be appointed by the President and hold his office for four years, having the powers conferred on governors of territories of the United States, but is to make his reports through the Secretary of State to the President. An executive council, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, consists of a secretary, attorney-general, treasurer, auditor, commissioners of interior and education, and five other persons, to hold office for four years. The council is the upper branch of the legislature, five of whom shall be natives of Porto Rico. The other branch shall be a house of delegates, to consist of thirty-five members, elected biennially by the qualified electors. Provision is made for enacting legislation similar to that in other territories. The judicial power is vested in courts already established, the chief justice and associate justices and marshal to be appointed by the President; judges of the district courts and other officers by the governor of Porto Rico. There is also a United States district court. No export duties are to be collected, but taxes and licenses may be levied. On the regular election day in November and every two years thereafter Porto Rico may choose a commissioner to represent the island at Washington; salary, $5,000. A commission of three members, one a native of Porto Rico, is to be named to revise and codify the laws of Porto Rico. The total receipts in the island of Porto Rico from date of American occupation to February 28, 1900, amounted to the sum of $2,592,218.49, divided as follows: Customs receipts..... $2,027,774.93 Postal receipts..... 54,698.65 Internal revenue receipts. 457,667.48 Miscellaneous receipts..... 52,076.43 The disbursements during the same period amounted to the sum of $2,173,-258.51.

Money to Loan From $5,000 to $10,000 in sums to suit of its population able to read and write the knowledge of the outside world extremely limited, and with only miles of railroad and less than 250 miles of good wagon road on the island; means of intercommunication are such as to enable a prompt stimulation of its production or consumption." It is hardly possible that a land parish or consumption tax on a people such are here described could with justice to them be imposed. The domestic business pursuits should be untraded meeded, and in consequence it has been deemed wise, as well as expediently impose no tax of this kind on the island but to raise what money is needed an indirect tax from duty on its ports to this country and international revenue taxes on manufactured articles only that are exported into the United States. The money thus collected being rived in this way, and also from foreign imports into Porto Rico comes from the most productive kind of business in the island. So this direct tax is less severely felt than in a more general character, and even dollar thus collected is turned into insular treasury of Porto Rico for sole benefit of the people of that island while in the District of Columbia every other Territory of the United States the money collected from international revenue is paid into the national treasury at Washington. But in order to reduce the revenue collected from the island to a minimum this duty has been fixed at only 15 percent of the existing tariff rates. The giving to Porto Rico an advantage 85 per cent over its competitors order further to favor the people of Island no duty is levied on flour; produce; cereals; beans; fish; pancakes; bread; fresh beef; mutton and many other articles of food; also books pamphlets printed in the Spanish language; lumber; oil machinery; etc., for making sugar; wine; and brandy; and we have reduced duty upon building material and other articles to less than one-half of its regular tariff on imports from United States. No Territory of the United States ever been treated in so liberal a manner as this government now proposes treat Porto Rico. In the Territory Alaska Congress has imposed a special license tax upon business industry which paid into the national treasury last year nearly a quarter of a million dollars; and this too, in our own 'Territory of Alaska,' snowbound and awaived in the polar regions. We have impaired that upon our own people, and yet sympathetic friends say that it is No more Ohio O Springtime Is the sweetest season in human life, as it is in Nature generally. It is the time of promise. As the young girl draws near to that mysterious line "Where womanhood and girlhood meet," her whole destiny is in a measure being determined. How often the sweet young girl, under the influence of the change, withers and droops like some blighted bud. Nature generally needs some little help at this critical period, and this help in its best form is contained in Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, and gives the vigor of perfect health to the womanly organs. It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor other narcotic. Miss Emma Lee, of Williford, Sharp Co., Ark., writes: "I was living severely and tried several doctors' remedies, but received only very little relief; therefore, I feel it my duty to write and let other sufferers know what your 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets' have done for me. I took eight bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' six vials of the 'Pellets,' also one bottle of your 'Compound Extract of Smart-Weed.' As soon as I had taken the first bottle I could see that the medicine was helping me. I had disease of internal orgasm and entailment; also used the local treatment you suggested." The sluggish liver can be cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

Population able to read and write, knowledge of the outside world is only limited, and with only 150 railroad and less than 250 miles wagon road on the island, the intercommunication are not to enable a prompt stimulation production or consumption." Hardly possible that a land, poll taxation on a people such as we described could with justice can be imposed. The domestic pursuits should be untransected in consequence it has been wise, as well as expedient, to no tax of this kind on the island,alse what money is needed by direct tax from duty on its export this country and internal taxes on manufactured articles that are exported into the United States money thus collected, being denied this way, and also from duties design imports into Porto Rico from the most productive kinds in the island. So this tax is less severely felt than if of general character, and every thus collected is turned into the treasury of Porto Rico for the benefit of the people of that island; in the District of Columbia and other Territory of the United States money collected from internecine is paid into the national pay at Washington. In order to reduce the revenue used from the island to a minimum it has been fixed at only 15 per cent over its competitors. In further to favor the people of the no duty is levied on flour, rice, cereals, beans, fish, pork, fresh beef, mutton and many articles of food; also books and prints printed in the Spanish and English languages, lumber, oxen, cerynery, etc., for making sugar, rumandy; and we have reduced upon building material and other items to less than one-half of the tariff on imports from the United States. Territory of the United States has been treated in so liberal a man this government now proposes to Porto Rico. In the Territory of a Congress has imposed a special tax upon business industries, paid into the national treasury near nearly a quarter of a million dollars, and this, too, in our own Territory Alaska, snowbound and away up polar regions. We have imposed upon our own people, and yet our antithetic friends say that it is an tornado that swept over a part of the island. Contrast this liberal treatment with that of Spain toward Porto Rico. Dr. Carroll, special treasury agent, sent to the island to report upon its condition, states in his report that an export duty and cargo tax were levied by Spain in Porto Rico on coffee, tobacco and other articles, and that this tax alone in 1896 amounted to $351,624. This, with real estate taxes, consumption tax and other taxes, amounted to ten or twenty times the small duty we propose to levy upon her sugar and tobacco. The Statesman's Yearbook, an English publication, recognized as a reliable authority, states that Spain levied taxes upon Porto Rico in 1896 amounting to $1,091,000, and expended only $781,000 on the island, the remainder being Spanish profit from the colony. To this we may add the enormous salaries paid from the resources of Porto Rico to the Spanish court officials that were sent from Spain to administer the military and civil government of the island. A letter written from Porto Rico to Hon. G.W. Steele of the House of Representatives, and read there recently, not only shows conclusively that a tariff of 15 per cent will be entirely acceptable, but indicates that the only class who would benefit from absolute free trade are the ones who, it is alleged, desire this tariff. The pertinent portions of the letter as follows: "SAN JUAN, P.R., March 17, 1900. My Dear Major:—We are watching with interest here the hurricane that the proposed 15 per cent tariff has raised, and are wondering what it is about. A 15 per cent tariff is not obnoxious to the people here; at any rate, not to the planters or to the great body of the people, the only clamors for out-and-out free trade being the men who have bought up most of the sugar and a good part of the tobacco. I am credibly informed that the American Tobacco company has absorbed the greater part of the tobacco interests of the island, and absolute free trade would mean that they stand to make a pocketful of money. This talk of the placing of the tariff at the behest of the trusts which control tobacco and sugar strikes us here as the most arrant rot, since those interests are the ones that would profit most from absolute free trade. The people here take it that the United States is not going to appropriate money from the national treasury for the purpose of running this island. Hence the money, about two and a half millions a year, must be raised either by a tariff or by direct taxation. Under the present system there is not a cent of taxes collected on land or improved real estate. The insular revenues have come from tariff, and the municipal fund has come from taxes on the necessities of life. Even under letter sets forth the true situation in Porto Rico as far as this proposed tariff is concerned. I do not see that the abolition of this 15 per cent tax would benefit others than those indicated, or that it could tend to increase export trade appreciably more than the 85 per cent reduction proposed will do. Indeed, according to this letter, the abolition of the tariff on goods imported into the island is of no practical benefit to the consumers. The pork packers and millers of the West and the provision dealers of the East would simply divide the duty saved with the sellers of the articles. Yet this duty has been omitted from the bill in the hope that competition will eventually reduce the selling prices of the articles, so that the purchasers may after a while derive some benefit from the omission. Besides all this the bill, if enacted into law, will remain in force only two years, during which time its defects will be fully ascertained. If any are made apparent it will be possible to correct them before any appreciable damage has been wrought. I do not see how any plan could be fairer to the people of Porto Rico than the one proposed. In talking with one of the advocates of free trade about the ungenerous manner in which he said he treated the Porto Ricans I asked him after citing him the principal features of this bill, what we had done to oppress those people that was so much more severe than had been the treatment of Spain. "Why," said he "Spain permitted them to vote; they voted under the despotic Spanish government, and now our free republican government has stepped in and denies them right to the ballot." It is in evidence before the committee that while those people had the right to vote under the Spanish regime, they had but a small minority of the returning board, and results of the elections were always in accordance with the edicts promulgated by the Captain-General of the island, who said crown—the home government desired the results of the ballot to be in favor of certain persons. The returning board complied with their instructions to the letter, and it has been said that in the history and experience of the elective franchise in Porto Rico this great boon that was given them and that we have denied to those oppressed people, there had never been an instance where the result of the election was not in accordance with the desire of those who were in authority and who wanted certain persons to be elected. But, in addition to the wise and beneficent features I have alluded to—while we have been more generous and more liberal to Porto Rico than we have ever been to any Territory of the United States—the bill has in view comes masquerading under the guise reciprocity. For these reasons I believe it maintains this principle as against Rico until the future is more clear it is now, and until we can learn a breach in the existing laws will whether influences for good or for evil. I would call to mind Mr. Presidener in which Porto Rico been governed up to this time President acting through militants. I do not think it can be believed that there have been much better ditions than under Spanish rule. True that the elements have been great distress to the people, but for political purposes such mislead cannot be laid at door of their institution. The fact is that, aside destruction worked by a hurried island of Porto Rico is better than it has ever been since Spain sided it. It was overwhelmed with taxes bore hard on all classes of even what they consumed was used and their incomes above expenditure to yield a portion to be sent to Export as well as import duties levied and a tonnage tax and schemes of raising money were But, as soon as the island can possession of the United States fort was at once made to relieve people of some of these burdens. Beef and mutton, oxen, meat foodstuffs, building material, et al admitted free of duty. The bread was brought down from cents. There was a tax on consumables on all articles to eat, duck burn. Sugar, sold for 3 cents, was thus cost forthe consumer Government has stepped in and denies them right to the ballot. It is in evidence before the committee that while those people had the right to vote under the Spanish regime they had but a small minority of returning board,and results ofthe elections were always in accordance withthe edicts promulgated bythe Captain-Generalofthe岛who said crown—thehome government desiredtheresultsoftheballottobeinfavorofcertainpersons.Thereturningboardcomplifiedwith theirinstructionstotheletter,andithasbeensaidthatinthehistoryandexperienceoftheelectivefranchiseinPortoRicothisgreatboonthatwasgiventhemandthatwehavedeniedtothoseopressedpeople,thehadneverbeenaninstancewheretheresultoftheelectionwouldnotinaccordancewiththedesireofthosewhowereinauthorityandwhowantedcertainpersonstobeelected.

The bill retains the principle of protection to American labor and American civilization against foreign competition and influence; and in justice to ourselves this protection must be always maintained. Sympathy for other races less fortunate than we should not induce us to open our doors to influences that would tend to sink us to their level. There is and can be no stationary period in our career as a nation. We must either go forward or backward. Our course up to this time has been always forward, and we should see to it that it shall be always so far as we can determine it. In our efforts to determine what the future shall be, I do not think we can do better than to maintain at all points the principle of protection until we can see farther into the future. We shall have to deal with problems concerning other races and other civilizations, which differ more from our own than do those found in Porto Rico; and it will be long before we can see clearly all the conditions surrounding them, and be in a position to act intelligently for the best interests of those people as well as for ourselves. The interests of our own country and people must always be first in our minds, and we must act with that idea predominant. We should be recurrent in our duty to our own should we permit any opening to occur through which danger might come to them. Their greatest safety will be, in the past, that protection against the influence of alien customs, habits and ways of life which has been provided by our laws and hallowed by the benediction of our forefathers. We should in no case make exemptions from that policy which may be used hereafter as grounds for urging its wholesale abrogation. The honor and dignity of labor should ever be maintained and protected against competition from servile and cheap contract labor, no matter from what source it may come, whether it be from our own territory or dependencies in the islands of the sea, or whether it citizen was always enabled by terrestrial means, to secure material bates, thus thrusting the burden very poorest classes. All this iniquitous system has abolished by the President, military government established a blessing to the people taxes which have ground the dust should not be revived by system of direct taxation. The profitable business enterprises island should be made to pay the share of the expenses, which they so long escaped. This is provided in the present bill. But even such a law as is here proposed plea of Porto Rico would be fair off than they ever were under Spain. Try Allen's Foot-Ease.
