Ito conservador al sistema que conci-
bio una junta en- que predominaba ell
elemento ultra-reformista, un sistema
que decret6 un ministerio radical y al
que puso ell catneplase un captain gene
raj tambien radical, debemos protes-
tar contra rumores tan malignos y
decir muy alto que el partido conser-
vador que no ha prometido en- las pa
sadas elecciones la Suppression de la
contribution, viene abogando desde
hace mucho tempo en- este peri3dico
y fuera de 81 por la abollcion del sub
sidio a la vez que los ultra a-1eforr ,istas
han pedido oGcialmente la SUPP esion
de los derechos de exportacion para
que no Sc pueda guitar, como nos otros
queremos, la contribution directa, y
piden elpuerto franco con objeto deque
lacontribucion sea doble yaGn triple de
