Count Muraviem cannot accept it. The

smaller Notifications. Ponce, on the
south coast is about half the size OF
San Juan, and there are numerous
smaller towns and villages. Puerto |
Rico is traversed by 10 highways and
Is side roads; it has less than 100 miles
of narrow gauge railroad, and only
about 450 miles OF telegraph lines.
San Juan Is connected with Jamaica
and ST. Thomas by cable.
Puerto Rico was discovered by Co
lumbus in November, 1893, on his Sec
ond voyage 10 America. San Juan was
founded by Ponce de Leon in 1911. The
native inhabitants, as in Cuba, were en-
shaved and finally extermiratcd; negro
slavery was then established and con
tinued until 1878. Spain's sovereignty
i'm Puerto Rico has remained undis-
turbed except for attacks by the Eng
fish In 1895, 1898. 1878 and 1907, none OF
which produced permanent results,
and a revolution OF the inhabitants
themselves in 1920. which was sup
pressed i'm 1922. The system of govern
ment Is like that in Cuba, and equally
burdensome. The revenues are eX-
pended almost wholly for Spanish pur-
poses; in a recent annual budget. for
| instance, pensions, interest on Spanish
| debt and salaries OF colonial officers
| living In Spain consumed ST35 ,02S.sO;
/ the courts. and expenses OF the estab-
| lished Catholic church, $37s,74O.50; In
crense OF Spanish navy, $l50,lOo.66;

ment. S7lO,31526; while Puerto Rico
had 10 contribute 81 ,O66, 5o5.5o towards
SPANS war expenses In Cuba and the
Philippines.
Puerto Rico Is so much smaller than
either Cuba or the Philippines that the
social and political disadvantages OF
permanently attaching it to this coun
try would not, perhaps, be serious, ano
might be ovcr-balanccd by the strntc
gic value OF the island as a coalinf
station and naval rendezvous. Th'
Philippines might be disposed OF e

but with Puerto Rico the case Is differ

shamed them at being in the service o.

peal TO rebellion was without doubt
eloquent, for the little troupe acclaimed
him, and putting him at its head, went
out OF linus, gaining the wooded
heights which surround the village.
This was the nucleus OF the insurgent
army, which now consists of not less
than 10000 combatants, having for it's

THE STANDARD MAINTAINED.
Republicans Adhere Faithfully TO
the Principles of sound Money
and National Integrity.

When the Indiana republicans held
their state convention two years ago
they adopted platform in which they
declared themselves for honest
money" They announced that they
were opposed TO free coinage at the
ratio Of sixteen to one because it would
debase the currency, and favored the
use OF silver only TO the extent that
It's parity with gold could DC main
tanned This year those republicans
take q forward step and assume po-
sition they were not ready TO take in
1896. The state convention adopted
money plank denouncing sixteen to
one" because il would "debase our
money and destroy our private and
public credit ard cause general bust
ness disaster" The concluding SEN
tence of the plank Is as follows:
eve recognize the necessity OF compre-
| Aansive and enlightened monetary legis-
iatIon, and believe that the declaration In
the ST Louis national republican platform
| for the maintenance or the gold standard
| and the parity OF all our forms or money
| should he given the vitality OF public law,
and the money OF the American people
| should be made. like all us lnstltutiohs' 'ne
best In the world.
This is n recognition Of the fact that
the existing laws, which make United
States bonds payable in coin ana
the legal tender notes redeemable IN
"coln,- must be amended by requiring
those payments and redemptions TO be
made I'm gold coin" When that has
been done there will be no question
and no difficulty about the mainte-
nance OF the gold standard. The whole
world will understand that the United
States Is committed definitely and IT.
reyocably TO the worlds money stand

Az long as that naked word coin
remains I'm the laws, and the United
States has half a billion Of legal tender
silver money the bullion In which v
