FAVORS LEVYING OF A TARIFF As the Only Way to Return Money to the Islanders. THE OTHER POSSESSIONS —_—— Senator Chauncey M. Depew addressed the Senate at length today on the bill to temporarily provide revenues for the relief of the Island of Porto Rico, and for other purposes. He said: “Mr. President, I have been lstening with great interest to the many and very able speeches which have been delivered upon the Porto Rican tariff. I have endeavored to find in them a solution of the singular political conditions which seem to have arisen out of the presentation of this meas- ure. I have thought perhaps the fact that the country is divided into storm centers and normally placid conditions is due to the extended discussion of the constitution- al question having obscured the real mean- ing of a measure of revenue and relief. “There is no division among the majority in either house as to the power of Congress to legislate on this subject. The majority all agree that the Constitution does not ex- tend by its own power over these new pos- Senator Depew. sessions, and that Congress can legislate for them as it deems wise, subject only to the prohibitions upon Congress in the Con- stitution. The democratic party accepted the other view, that the Constitution does extend by its own force into the territories from the moment that it was invented bs John C. Calhoun for the purpose of carrying slavery into the new territories, when it was impossible ag: aroused con- seience of the countr re legislation to that effect. It is but fair to say that while the action of the country by the unanimous consent of all statesmen and of all parties for fifty years, and the trend of the decisions of the Supreme Court, sus- tain the power of Congress to take the whole or any part of the Constitution and the laws of the United States into new ter- ritorfes and to establish governments for them, yet the questions ralsed by the ac- quisitions of Cuba, Hawaii and the Philtp- pines, when presented to the Supreme Court, must result In such a broad and comprehensive Interpretation as will make clear for all time the position of the Uni States upon the government of territories which come to us. Porto Rico and Its People. “Porto Rico 1s more thickly populated than any country in Europe. It Is one of the most fertile territories on earth, From scashore to mountain top {t can be culti- vated. With capital, enterprise and modern machinery the posstbilitics of Increase in its productiveness cannot be calculated. 1t is a little over two-thirds the size of Con- necticut, but has a much larger population. Its industries are purely agricultural. As in all countries where there are no varied industries, the young men and the young women have no opportunities to engage in different pursuits. Where agriculture is the only occupation of thickly settled communi- ties, the conditions of India are repeated, and so there prevails in Porto Rico a wide- spread and grinding poverty unknown in Europe or in America. There are, fn round numbers, a million people upon the island. enty thousand are negroes, 250,000 of xed negro and white blood’ and about 700,000 are the result of the settlement by the wild adventurers, of all races and na- tions, who, in the fourteenth and fiftec centuries, sailed and fought on the Spani, Main. One hundred thousand of these pec- ple can read or write: about 50,000 can do both. Nine hundred thousand are in abso- lute ignorance. “Of this million, 800,000 derive their 1 from agricultural pursuits. They live snsisting of one room; they h aring th on for coffe z for The children from ten a of age earn vigorous manhood thirty cen nd old age, again, from fifteen cents. They live on sugar cane and the fruits that grow, and are so cheap, in the tropics, and it is estimat + staat life on five cents a day p of them have never known brea as it is familiar to our peoole. hired by the day, the contrac the sun. By this means the owners of the jarge estates are free from r: for their care or maintenance, « bility which would come if the were by the month or by the y = are no school houses in the island. 7 eight-tenths of this population ar of politics, of government, of Spanish or American fule, and intent only upon the s immediate and exigent nec y tence and life. In the ma. families the heads are unmarri cause they had not the money ur ish rule to pay the expenses of riage ceremony, civil or religious. ‘The 200,- 000 remaining consist of the landholders, rrerchants and factors, and of the ca:riers and skilled artisans in the towns and the all storekeepers in the country. “The island itself consists of two millions of acres. There are 1,200,000 acres in pas- ture, 181,000 in coffee, 70,000 in sugar, 14,000 in tobacco and the rest is in forests, orchards, gardens and underbrush. The land of the island is owned in 43,000 estates. A large proportion of these ners are Spaniards, English and other foreigners. The coffee, sugar and tobacco estates are mortgaged for about one-quarter of their value at rates of interest varying from 10 to 25 per cent. The profits of production are so great, even with the antiquated ma- chinery in use, that with normal crops and with the Dingley tariff in full force, as it has been, against them for the past tour years, they were enabled to meet this in- terest and enjoy as much prosperity as is possible under Spanish rule. The Pending Le; “We come naturally now to the question of hardships upon the Porto Rican people and of cruelty to the inhabitants of our new possessions by the proposed legislation. We were told with wonderful eloquence and passionate rhetoric that it was our plain duty to return to the people who have paid the duties under the Dingley tariff act since our occupation the money which had been collected. The whole policy of the republi- can party, from the President to Congress, has been to give back to Porto Rico all the taxes levied and collected upon her pro- ucts—to give them back to her for the pur- poses \of her government and for the pur- poses of her improvernent and her progress. ‘Lhese duties had been paid by the sugar trust, which controls the sugar products of the island, and the tobacco trust, which controls the tobacco product of the island— two of the richest and greatest morey- making corporations in the world. They had bought the sugar and tobacce at @ to sixteen y cents a day using with > = price which incl PG. Dingley tariff duties and sold th he peopl of. the United States at a large pro‘it after the duties were paid. -in the bill which we have just passed, instead of paying these duties back to th rations, which have been the sub; of $6 much abuse and with whom we hay. n charged with be- ing allied, we have them back to the people of Porto Rico for their school heuses, for their ro&ds;—for the relief of their starving, and for the employment which will come in pfoper fdiministra- tion of the fund. : s8 “Under this bill thig tariff lasts only two years, and may be ended by the Porto Rican legislature at any,time. It is a ten- tative measure; it istéhdfly for the benefit of the people of Porto Rico; its proceeds are used for no other p than to im- prove their conditi ind enlarge their opportunities. Congress is always in ses- sion, and two years will be an object Jesson in the experiment of caring for and gov- erning the Porto Ricdis. Popular Opposition. “The history of remedial legislation pre- sents no example of: baseless excitement like that which prevatis over this measure in certain parts of ‘the United States. The localization of the storm Is unprece- dented. It has great volume and force in one state, with Htti® "evidence of it In the adjoining commonwealth. A northwestern state may have the fever while the middle states and New England are normal. In every instance in the contests of parties where a principle was af issue the senti- ment of the party in one state has been equally pronounced in every state. This Phenomenal localization of interest com- pels the conclusion that a mere matter of Providing means for carrying on govern- ment and relleving distress has been exag- gerated into an acute struggle over a funda- mental principle of ht, or morals, pen rigl rals, or In Behalf of the People. “This bill 1s the people's law. It restricts, as far as can be donej the power of trusts or combinations or concentration of indus- tries. It puts upon the free list these prod- ucts going from the United States into Porto Rico—the food products from the American farmer—so that the American farmer has this market free as against the agriculture of other gountries, whose im- ports must pay Dingley tariff rates. It gives to the Porto Ricans the fullest op- portunity for cheap food. Agricultural im- plements, which are s0 necessary for the resurrection of island, cultivation, and the adoption of modern machinery to aid in lower cost and larger crops, are free. Rough lumber for mills, coopers’ materials for sugar, molasses and tobacco, and bags for coffee, are free. “Carriages to cheapen transportation and trees and plants to give variety in crops by raising large and small fruits, for which the island is peculiarly adapted, are free, as are all drugs which are used in the ma- larial diseases of tropical countries. In a word, every product of the farm or factory in the United States which will help Porto Rico, enable her to rise triumphant from her ruins and give remunerative use for capital and employment and wages to her people, are on the free list. The luxuries consumed by the prosperous are, as they ought to be, taxed for the support of the government. “But this is not all. The whole question ot taxation is remitted by this bill to the people and government of Porto Rico. Hero is the charter of Porto Rican self-govern- ment. It is the spear which punctures the huge and swaying balloon of tyranny, op- pression and violations of the Constitution and declaration of Independence so labor- y blown out and expanded in the past few weeks. While standing on the col- lapsed canvas, and viewing its tragic mot- toes, listen to the plain and passionless words of this pill Porto Rico's Opportunity. “Section 9—-And whenever the legisla- ti ssembly of Porto Rico shall have en- acted and put into operation a system of local taxation to meet the necessities of the government of Porto Rico by this act established, and shall by resolutfon duly pa d so notify the President, he shall ke proclamation’ thereof, and thereupon all tariff duties of merchandise and ar- ticles going into Porto Rico from the United States or coming Into ‘the United States from Porto Rico shall cease, and from and after such date alF such me ndise and s shall be entered at the several poris of entry free of duty; anjl in no eyent shall any such duties*be collected after ,the 1st of March, 1902." “In a word, what is all this contenti about? What Is the apple of discord whi is lashing some friends to fury? The Pre: dent proposed free trade, and this bill giv free trade in all the necessaries of life, all implements and manufactures required for the resuscitation, development and working of industries and a tariff amount- ing, on the average, to 6 per cent upon their rket value on other produ ‘The tariff comes off by operation of law in two years, and as much sooner as the people of the island, through their own legislature, decide ta abolish it, because they can raise the revenues nec y for the support of their government, their roads nd their schools, and for their general wel- are by direct taxation. Position of Parties. “The opposition to this bill is the result of the usual tactical operations for advan- tageous positions in a presidentlal year. ‘The Calhoun theory of the Constitution and the century-old fight of free trade to de- stroy protection have made a united and perate charge upon the policy and pro- sions of this measure. The democratic position in regard to our island territories is clearly defined. They will claim trat the moment any territory becomes the property the United States by conquest, purch: jon or discovery, it is under our Con- ution and Inws; that its people and products have the same rights and are en- tiued to the same freedom of movement all over the United States as the people and products of any state in the Union; that statehood must speedily come and cannot be denied; that this would break down every protective barrier against pauper la- bor and admit free into our ports the things produced by people working in our tropical sions for a few cents a day and would degrade our citizenship, and, there- fere, if they get in power they will at once abandon these islands. “The republican party stands upon the tion of Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Pierce and Seward, that Congress has the power to govern these acquisitions subject only to the prohibitions of the Constitu- tion. Jackson as Governor of Florida “I recall for the consideration and ad- monition of my democratic friends that story of General Jackson's governorship of Florida, to which he was appointed by President Monroe, under the act of Congress arch 3, 1821, providing ‘that all mili- tary, civil and judicial powers shall be vested in such person and persons and shull be exercised in such manner as the President of the United States shall direct.’ He claimed and exercised the executiv ogislative and judigjal, functions of govern. er this commission, and As jegislature acted laws which br; him, as governor, in conflict with the ¢x-governor under Spain.

LAUREL le Aequisition of Important Industry—General Items. Spectat Correapondence of The Evening Star. LAUREL, Md. March 31, 1900. The firm of Cobb Brothers, hoslery man- ufacturers of Suffolk, Va., have been car- rying on special correspondence with some of the leading business men of this town, including the mayor, Mr. Edward Phelps, as to the advantages thelr line of business would derive from having a branch factory located here, and such favorable induce- ments were furnished that one of the offi- cials of that firm will visit Laurel in a very short time. One advantage, and that is a very considerable one, is that no hosiery establishment, so far as could be learned, is located in this section of the country. The firm, should they decide to build here, has plan$ for furnishing employ- ment for about 150 to 200 hands. Little Reba Bond, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Bond of this town, has been taken to Baltimore, where an operation w! be performed at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. It is thought she is suffering with a tumor of the brain.
