AGAINST THE TARIFF Senator Proctor’s Speech on the Porto Rican Bill. PROPOSITION GIVEN -_—— HISTORY OF THE Sentiment of the American People Must Prevail. A PARALLEL MADE Senator Proctor of Vermont spoke on the Porto Rican tariff bill in the Senate today. He approved the government features of the bill, and condemned the portions of it which relate to the tariff, declaring that he would vo ainst the measure. “The outline of civil government for the Island of Porto Rico,” said Mr. Proctor, “contained in the bill reported by the Sen- ator from Ohio (Mr. Foraker), meets my entire approbation and witnesses the abil- ity and care which was exerc’ in its Senator Proctor. Photograph by Prince. preparation. But the committee has in- cluded in this bill a provision for a tariff between the United States and that Island. on a bas of 15 per centum of the rates of duty prescribed in the Dingley act of 1897. “I greatly regret that these two measures naturally separate and distinct. should be thus combined, and still more regret that in declining to support the tariff provis- fons of the bill this unwise union compels me to vote against the excellent: govern- mental features which it contains. My re- marks will be directed exclusively to the tariff portion of the bill. History of the Tariff Proposition. “Mr. President, let us briefly consider the of this tariff proposition. The Pres. in his annual message, a document al- ways prepared with great care, after much thought and consultation with his advisers, say: “Our plain duty fs to abolish the c toms tariffs between the United State Porto Rico, and give her products fre cess to our markets.’ “The people of the President. Know that s “The Secretary of ¥ annual report. had said ““The highest considerations and good faith demand that we United Stat of Justice should not disappoint the confident expectation of sharing in our prosperity with which the people of Porto Rico so gladly transferred their allegiance to the United States. We should treat the interests of this people urge our own I wish most strongly to that the customs duties between Porto Rico and the United States be removed.’ “Note the words of the President, ‘o plain duty,’ and of the Secretary, ‘Sus and good faith demand.’ “Following these recommendations, a bill was introduced in this bedy by the senator from Ohio, the chairman of the committ giving Pi Rico free trade. A like duced in another bod or appa “Is it str an official s this sudden or apparent reas: ould be slow to give up a line of action which we believe to be based on principle and jus which we be- lieve to be the only honest and consistent course? It is charged—I do not know with if any—that this change was what truth demanded and brought about by the and cco interests, and also, it is sta by organized labor. “I, however, have failed to see that the represe! tb of this latter inte peared before the committee. It is cally admitted that free trade with Rico does not harm these interests lly, but they clai t that may harm them if erence to the Philippines and Cuba. It will be time to cross those rivers when we come to them, and, in my opinion, the crossing will not be difficult when the proper time comes for action.” Ex-Senator Edmunds’ Letter. Mr. Proctor read a letter from Former Senator Edmunds on the subject of the Proposed Porto Rican tariff, in which he said: “I have yours of the 20th instant, and, beth as an American citizen and an origi- nal and constant republican, am very glad to learn that you are opposed to legisla- tion having the effect of imposing on the people of Porto Rico (whether we call them citizens or subjects of the United States) any kind of revenue burden or benefit that {s not common to the whole people of the United States. Any such measure, ff en- acted, will, I believe, be unique in our whole history. It will imitate and parallel the acts of the British parliament which forced our fathers to just resistance and revolution, and led them to establish a Constitution which in studied and explicit terms forbade any such discrimination. “I know there are many gentlemen en- gaged in public affairs whose intelligence and patriotism are above question who be- Meve that our Constitution does not em- bract the territories, and that as to them the President and Congress possess the same omnipotent powers that the British crown and parliament have always pos- sessed over their possessions. While I think that position is untenable as a mat- ter of law, I believe the proposed action is sul less defensible viewed in the light of those principles of liberty, justice and equality of rights we all profess to believe in, and which, whether we belleve in and practice or not, are still Hving and will live and bear fruits more and more among men, in spite of all the tyrants—well-meaning or otherwise—in the world.” Mr. Edmunds in his letter gave additional reasons why he believed the Constitution is in force In the territories of the United States. Sentiment of the People. Continuing, Mr. Proctor said: “But, Mr. President, admitting for the sake of argument that Congress has plen- ary power under the Constitution, that right must be interpreted in the fair and generous sense which the American people give to that instrument, and not given the interpretation of absolutism. We may do many wrong and foolish things without violating the Constitution, but it does not follow that we must do them or ought to do them, and I claim, Mr. President, that the plain people, the sensible, honest American people, who look at this ques- tion from no standpoint of interest, who are not sugar men, nor tobacco men, nor men who have any commercial or class interests, which it is claimed must be plac- ated by our action, are the best judges of what is fair and right and honest, and that their judgment In the end must and will prevati. “If we are not bound by the letter of the Constitution, we are bound by justice and humanity to deal with these questions in the spirit of American institutions and THE CONGRESSIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.

He also read a letter from President Schurman, member of the late Philippine commission, in which he said in part: “Dear Sir: I agree with you that the United is under obligation to extend its tariff laws to the Island of Porto Rico. But I cannet accept your contention that this obligation is derived from the Con on, which, in my judgment, does not of its own force apply to annexcd territories.

Such an exhibition of our- ives will strengthen the hands of Agui- naldo and the insurgents, because unhap- pily it can be used to support their persis- tent statement that the Americans are no more trustworthy than the Spaniards. “At the very moment when we need to in- spire confidence in the minds of the con- quered Filipinos, shall we commit an act which will confirm their distrust of us, quicken their suspicions and breed new and, perhaps, ineradicable antipathies? God for- bia!” British Parliament Acts Paralleled. “Senator Edmunds,” sald Mr. Proctor, “says that legislation imposing any kind of revenue burden and benefit on the people of Porto Rico that is not common to the whole people of the United States— “twill imitate and parallel the acts of the British parliament which forced our fathers to just resistance and revolution, and led them to establish a constitution, Which in studied and exovlicit terms forbids any such discrimination.” “In this connection I submit, in parallel columns, the statement of the purpose of the measure taxing the colonies and the dis- position of the proceeds, and that of our bills in regard to Porto Rico. The state- ment of the act of King George is an’ ex- tract from Lord John Russell's Life of Fo: “The bill ‘“impos- ‘ ‘Under our meas- ing duties on certain ures Porto Rico 1s to be taxed, and the isl- kinds of merchandise, Png *neun Mh eels when imported intoonmerehan dine the colonies, required which they ship to or “Let me add, too, tion is Filip! ive from this the payment of such Fece! country, and we have duties to be made in provided that the gold and silver, and amount heretofore or ordered them to be hereafter so received paid into the ex-“shall be placed at chequer, where, with the disposal of the the produce of all President to be used former parliamentary for the government duties, they were to now existing or be set apart as a sep- which may hereafter arate fund, to be ap- be established in Por- plied under the dispo- to Rico, for the aid sition of parliament and relief of the peo- for defraying the fu- ple thereof, and for ture charges of pro- public education, pub- tecting. defendingand lic works and other securing the col- governmental and onies.” ’ — Russell's publicpurposes there- Life of Fox, volume in,” until otherwise 1, page 45. provided by law.’ “Mark the resemblance in these two propositions, that the duties in each case, both past and future, are to be set aside for the benefit of the country taxed. One difference is that while our measure taxes merchandise both going to and coming from Porto Rico, the British bill only taxed a limited number of articles coming to this country, did not tax our exoprts, and this difference is In favor of King George. Difference Between the Two Cases. “But there is another vast difference in the two cases: King George and his minis- try undertook to impose a tax upon English people—people of their own blood and race, who Knew their rights and dared maintain them; who knew that the hearts of the English people were with them. We im- pose these taxes upon a people unused to Forecast till 8 p.m. Saturday: For the District of Columbia, Delaware and Mary- land, rain, followed by clearing during the night.

We claim that our mission in Porto Rico was to deliver that people from the thraldom of Spain, Will not they in their hearts pray to be delivered from their deliverers? Weather conditions and general forecast: The disturbance which was central Thu day morning in the Ohio valley is central this morning in North Carolina, and the pressure is generally low in the middle and South Atlantic states. In the west marked high pressure prevailed, particularly in the slope region. There have been snow and rain in the up- per Mississippi valley, the Ohio valley, mid- dle Atlantic states, and on the lower At lantic coast. There were also light showe: in the west gulf states, and a little snow i the extreme northwest. Temperatures have fallen generally, ex- cept in the lake regions and upper Ohio val- ley, but not decidedly, except in Tennessee and the northern portion of the gulf states. They are from three to seventeen degr below the seasonal average, except from the lake regions eastward and the south At- lantic states. Rain cr snow tonight in the middle At- Jantic states and southern New England will be followed by clearing weather. In the lower lake region snow is indicated to- night and Saturday; elsewhere in the east and south fair weather will prevail, except showers tonight on the North Carolina coast and on Saturday on the Texas coast. It will be colder tonight in the south At- lantic states, with light frost in North Carolina, southern Virginia, northern Georgia, eastern Tennessee and extreme northern South Carolina. On the New England and middle Atlantic coast winds will become fresh north to northwest. On the south coast they will be fresh west to northwest. Records for Twenty-Four Hours.

A Calendar Ahead of Time. From the Boston Globe. Russia is now thirteen days behind the calendar, as compared with western Eu- rope. Perhaps thinking thirteen an un- lucky number, a committee of the Russian Astronomical Society have been at work on a new calendar, which they pronounce su- perlor to the Gregorian calendar, and ex- press a hope that it will be universally adopted. This new Russian calendar provides a common year of exactly 365 days and leap years of 366 days. The system is so near the real solar year that, its friends claim, no more than one day's difference can ce- cur in 100,000 years. If the countries of western Europe do not adopt this system and Russia does, the latter, instead of being thirteen days behind, will be one day in ad- vance now and two days in advance for 1920. in “But let us consider this question a mo- ment from the lower plane of mere policy. nthe fi st place, henesty is the best policy, all find if we try‘the other way. if this bill becomes a law, it will stand greauy in the way of the « ment of that little isl. fu zg for if we levy a tax per cent, the next Congress may levy a tax of 50 per cent. If we ad lopt free trade, it will be accepted by everybody as a defi: nite policy toward Porto Rico. Business in- terests will know what to depend upon, and pital and enterprise, will go there’ and soon change the deplorable conditions now existing. Uncertainty will paralyze indus- ry.” Wrong We Do to Ourselven. Mr. Proctor read from dispatches of Charles M. Pepper to the effect that the smallness of the tariff imposed on Porto Rico would not allay irritation of that peo- ple. Mr. Proctor also spoke of the wrong the people of this country would do themselves by inflicting an injustice on a dependent people. “The Constitution may or may not follow the flag,” he declared, “but the good faith of the American people must stand mques- Ucned wherever the stars and stripes are seen. ‘he plea of harmony in the party ap- peals to me strongly. But this is a ques- tion higher than party or policy; it is a question of principle, and it is better that even a small minority of the party should be right than that we should all be wrong. It ts of vital congequence, Mr. President, that this, our first important step in legis- lation for our new possessions, should be such as to commend {tself to the judgment and conscience of the American people.” ———_-e-_____ THE LATEST IN LAPELS. An Important Element in the Make- Up of a Well-Dressed Man. “It is the lapels (the ladies call them ‘reveres’) of a coat that make a coat, and distinguish the well-dressed man from his fellows,” said a fashionable F street tatlor to a Star reporter. “If any one will go to the trouble to ex- amine the fashion. plates of men's styles for over a century ‘past, he will find that the lapel of the gentleman's coat forms an important element jn {ts making. In fact, in the early colonf&l styfes the corners of the tails of the lomg coat then in vogue were turned up—lapels.on the bottom—and the ‘reveres,’ both above, and below, were usually faced’ with silk or a cloth of some material of a different color from the body of the coat. : “The present style is known as the ‘flat’ lapel, pressed, collar and. all, down as close as the tallor’s goose can. squeeze it. Until recently {t was the rolling. lapel and collar, and men were very; fond, of throwing back the lapels of their coats, which rolled very gracefully with the easy collar. Now the crease shows. a “The dress suit the, Tuxedo coat ex- emplify the importance ,pf the lapel and the collar, the latter ppactically making these coats the pre-eminent article of men’s wear. On the other hand, when a man’s collar is greasy cd dirty, and the lapels of his coat sag, no matter how fine may be the material of the garment, he appears slouchy and shabbily attired. “This garment,” continued the tailor, picking up a coat frem the table, heavily braided, and which some day may be stain- ed with the blood of its owner, “is part of an outfit of an officer about to proceed to the Philippines. Observe how, in the ab- sence of lapels, it is neither more nor leas than a jacket, not very remote from that f a bartender, the difference being in the fine grade of the goods. Also remember how severely plain and without style is the ministerial, closely-buttoned-up-to-the-neck coat of familiar sight, worn by the clergy. “Contrast this coat, cut a la militaire, es- teemed by some as the embodiment of chic in its peculiar style, with the graceful, sat- in-faced, broad-lapeled, rolling-front Prince Albert for afternoon wear, and then you will realize the force of my first remark— that the lapels make the coat, as the coat makes the gentleman.” is A calendar ahead of time will certainly rank as a curiosity, at least. Coffee Headaches. 17 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE. “When Postum Cereal Coffee first came out I was glad to begin the use of it and stop coffee, for I had long been convinced that my sick head. aches (from which I had suffered for 17 years) were caused more or less by coffee drinking. The headaches vanished like magic after the use of Postum was begun, and I can truthfully say that the first box of Postum Cereal Goffe did me more good than all the headache powders and other cures for that disease that-I had taken throughout the whole 17 years of suffering. “Naturally, I am absolutely certain that my headaches resulted directly from ‘the use of coffee.
