Un sencillo decreto guberna-
two, prohibiendo la exporta-
ci6n aquf de Ia moneda de bron-
ce nacional, bastarfa 4 nuestro
iuicio para evitar la especulacion,
sin necesidad de alterar SUI valor,
nj de inutilizarla con marcas nj
asujeros. ST no Sc hace, pronto
podemos vernos desmonetizados
de numerario tan indispensable.
NO nay que pensar en- que Sc
barrenarfa la ley para cometer e
fraude. Las pleas de bronco dl
6cultan mucho este por su volu
men, su peso, y la difcultad de
reunir grandes cantidades y {
negocio no darfa margen par:
que nadie pensara en- burlar {
Decreto, exponiendose a todo.
los rigores de las leyes ilscales.
No dudamos de la ilustraclor
y del cello de nuestras digna
Autoridades locales, que habral
propuesto al Gobierno Supreme
10 mas acertado acerca de Ill
asunto que no carece de impor
tancia que antes bien, la ten
relativamente grande, 81, como S
asegura, no Sc acu1an pleas d

BRAU EN- Ell ATENE0

Como saben nuestros lectores,
Ia conferencia que estaba anuncla
da para anoche, debla versar, y
verso, sobre Ia agriculture y el
concrete considerados como fac
torres de Ia colonizaci5n de Puer-
to Rico.
Curiosisima en- extreme fue la
disertacion del erudito Brau,
de la cual nos proponemos ha
blar con mas amplitud, por Ia i'm
posibilidad en- que estamos de.
vcriicarlo hoy, dado el exceso
de material con que contamos.
Pcro no nos podemos prlvar
del gusto de referirnos al elo-
cuentisimo periodic en- que B-au.
lleno de hermosa indignation,
redujo a cenizas la erronea Green
cia de que Puerto Rico no tiene
historic, como Sc ha dicho por
algunos -. audaces, como 81 la
historic -dijo-fuera tan solo el
relate de 10 que asombra, de las
grandes luchas, de las epopeyas
inmortales, y no prdiera consig
narse en- sus paginas los actos y
los hechos de las gcneraclones
que Sc han sucedido en- Ell trans,
curse del tempo en- esta preciosa
terra, a la cual-js 81 habra his
toria transformaron de selva
virgen, de infecundos montes y
explanadas, en- emporio de rique-
"a que hoy causa envidia al nun
do entero y que nosotros tenmos
la dicha dc poseer.
Concluy6 ell Sr Brau con un
preciosa aIocuci6n en- la que rea
cababa para Puerto Rico Ia ma
yor suma de progreso possible,
supuestas las excelentes condi
clones que tiene para su indehni
do mejoramiento la siempre hel
y por clio feliz provincial espa-
nola.
All acto asistieron distinguidfsi
mas personas, entire las que hgn
raba ell Sr March. Gobernador
General INFERNO de la lsla.
