ANorHER YTEW OF pORTo RICO.

4NOTHER VIEW OF PORTO RICO.
 In the first flush of conquest perhaps the value of our new possession Porto Rico has been overestimated by us. MT. Austin, of the treasury department, who has been examining Porto Rico, is not so enthusiastic over it as some have been. He thinks the island will be chiefly valuable as a winter resort, pleasant tropical garden and a strat- egic point of importance. With an area of only 3,06O square miles and popula- tion of 1,0OO,O0O people, of whom about one-fifth live in the towns and cities, MT. Austin thinks the acquisition of the island, while valuable and important, has perhaps been overrated as regards furnishing a new outlet for our exports or new openings for industry and enter prise. The tropical productions import ed by the United States amount to $250,- 000,000 annually, while the entire ex- ports of Porto Rico amount to only about $15,000,G00 year. and the imports to $16,000,000. So that were the United States to receive all the islands exports these would amount to less than one- tenth of those heretofore imported from tropical countries. It is possible that by machinery and more careful cultiva- tion of the soil the exports can be con- siderably increased, but there is a nat ural limit, not far, perhaps, from the present output. AS a market for eX ports still less can be expected from the island. The wants of the natives are comparatively few and simple, and from the nature of the climate will nec- essarily remain so, to great extent. To Americans anxious to make invest ments the coffee sugar and tobacco plantations offer the best inducements. Porto Rican coffee, especially that pro- duced on the western part of the island, is of excellent quality and is sent to Europe at an export price of about thir-' ty-two cents Porto Rican money. The tobacco Is also good, and to great ex- tent has recently supplied the shortage In the Cuban crop. Whether there will be much of demand for it once Cuba begins again to produce it's full amount is doubtful
 This is a reasonable view Of the sit uation, and as it is time to be reasona- ble perhaps this view will receive sober attention.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-09-30

The son of the late Samuel J. Ran dall sends a communication to the Philadelphia Press protesting against language reflecting on his father and used by some of the Republican cam paign speakers in Pennsylvania Re- plying to the insnuation that the late MT, Randall opposed tariff reform for unworthy considerations, the son points to the language used by the auditing judge when filing the adjudication of the account of the administratriX of the estate left by his father: Wearing ap- parel and personal effects appraised at $20O, and arrearages of salary as mem- Der of the House of Representatives amounting to $589.74 constituted his entire estate. And this was not enough to pay for medical attendance during his last illness. At the same time at tention was called to the fact that MT. Randall repeatedly refused financial assistance proffered by his political and personal friends, and when an endow- ment fund was raised for the benefit of his wife he refused to let it take effect while he lived.
