Muy senior milo: Aplaudimos damos
V. la enhorabuena, por 81 modo efcaz y
altamente patrl6tlco con que trata V. la
cnestIon de Puerto franco de esa Capital
Y rogamos sga V. la misma senda, 1nlco
modo de que Sc conserve en- es parte
lei territorlo espaIlol la paz y la tranquil
lad. LeIdos sus dos artfculos, Sc nos ocur-
rem las siguientes preguntas: Iqu6 CANA
ria Pucrto-Rco con tener Puerto franco9
mo esta Puerto~Rico en- prosperidad rela
tlvamente la altura de muchas poblacio-
nes comerciales que Sc estfman como de
tercer 6rden7
Enhorabuena que Sc hagan puertos
frances q puntos que care8can de vida
propia como San Thomas, San B lrtolo
me ia Puerto Rico no ha llegado q este
estado.
El p,sntO oljetiUo dc esta idea eS defau-
eldr al Gobte,no de los recwysos que por este
c0ncepto le entGn. Puerto Rico con su
Dep6s to Mercantl tiene va las ventaias
de un Puerto franco; falta un buen esta
blecimiento de crelito que facilite las ope
raciones directas de modo que ell mas sim
| pie pacoiillero pueda hacer sus compras
en- Europa: sin esta facilidad son contados
los que Sc surten en- Ia vecina Isla de San
Thomas.
Pasemos otra question vital para Ia
Islo; nos referimos al nuevo stema de
contlibuciones por medic de Patentes. La
contribution directa es va odiosa en- este
pals: es arma puesta va en- juego por los
laborantes no tan solo aquf sino en Cuba
en- donde ha dado su resultado. La opinion
general de los que deseamos la paz en- es
ia Antilla, es de que Sc suprima esta, par
ticularmente para las estancias fncas
de pastos memories que tan numerosas
son en- la Isla, y que Sc dejen vigentes los
derechos de exportacion.
Las patentes cuyas planillas Sc hallan
va repartidas vjenen q dar al traste con
| nuestras esperanzas de yer desaparecer Ell
subsidio que tan odioso Sc ha hecho va.
En- epoca no le]aua, cuando exlstfa la fran
quicia de derechos tan imprudentemente
concedida, se cobraba con un rigor sin
| ejemplo el subsldio en- question; al infeliz
labrador Sc lie arrebataba su 1nlca vaca
caballopafa serrematado, mientras que por
la aduana Sc introducia un cargamento de
salazones hbres de derechos con un buen
beneficio favor de la casa de Halifax que
le 'mportaba. A1n mas: hemos visto anun-
ciado remate de cuatro pares zapatos, por
no haber satisfecho Ell lnfeliz dueno ell sub
sidio que Sc le habia impues'o Afortuna-
damente este estado de ccsas habia va des.

The Democrats in Congress having de
