A wholesome suspicion is one of our

PORTO RlOAN TARIFF.
order Issued Foe Customs to Go Into
Effect February 1-Porter
Explained.

Explained.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-By authority
Of an executive order, issued by the
president Jan. 20, 1899, the secretary of
war promulgated an amended customs
tariff, which was prepared under the
direction Of the secretary of the treas.
uary by Special Commissioner Robert
p. Porter, Assistant Secretary Howell
and DR.. II. X. Carroll, and which is to
take effect in all ports and places in the
island of Porto Rico and all islands in
the West Indies east of the 74th degree
west longitude, on and after Feb. /.
The port of San Juan is designated
as the chief customs port, and Ponce
and Mayaguez as supports, and the
officer of the army assigned to each of
these supports as collector will have
general jurisdiction of the collection of
customs at such ports respectively.
Trade between ports of the United
States and all ports and places in Porto
Rico and trade between ports and places
in Porto Rico shall be carried on in
registered vessels of the United States
and in no others,
In the course of his report, upon
which the Porto Rlcan tariff is lurgely
based, Special Commissioner Robert p.
Porter shows that the value of the I'M
portations into Porto Rico during the
year 1897 amounted to 1888, ,063 pesos
upon which was collected in duties
81, ,48l 1863. He further said, in part:
If the same amount of revenue is
required in Porto Rican pesos and the
exports are likely to keep up to the 1897
standard, the fiscal problem confront
ing the treasury department in Porto
Rico is briefly this: Probable total
value of dutiable imports 1855, ,063
pesos, or So, 769. OBJ; total revenue to be
collected 2,4Sl, 1862 pesos, or 81, ,240,9Sl
"Discarding the money question,
which, after all, in this case, is purely
Porto Rican matter, the simple problem
is an importation of about 50, 900, 900
United States money and needed reve-
nue. OF $l,250,O00 United States money.
at would be manifestly unjust to
Porto Rico TO adopt and put in force
the amended Cuban tariff because it is
believed the Cuban revenue will
amount to about 20 per cent of the i'm
ports, while a Is per cent ad valorem
tariff, assuming that the imports keep
up to those OF 1897, will yield sufficient
revenue for the governmental needs of

There is much difference of opinion
among persons who are, or have been at
the Philippines. Some say the Filipin-
os are ignorant and vicious and not
capable to govern themselves. A dis.
patch from Nav York, dated the 10th
says:
General Charles A. Whittier, who re-
turned recently from Manila says
"N othing in the world is easier of.set-
Element than the situation in the Phil
ippines. 1t could be settled in three
days. In the first piece there is wide
ignorance of the wealth of the Philip
pines and the character of the Filipinos
The natives are not ignorant they are
not savages, They are adept at manu-
features and as accountants, mariners
and railroad operatives. They are
quiet, most temperate, and have shown
great ability in their military affsirs.
With firmness, accompanied by diplom.
acy and tact, think it is the sim mplest
matter possible to bring them under
control, We may give them offices of
minor Importance, both military and
civil, and try the experiment for what
ever number Of years may be necessa' y,
until they develop their capacity for
governing, and We can then be guided
by that"
General Whittier advises the policy
that is being followed in Cuba and it
seems to be working well, from all ac-
counts. And why should 1t rot? 1t is
the policy OF giving the people chance
to live without robbing and expressing
them. 1t ia not the Spanish policy.

rHK DEcLrNE I'M IMPORTS.

The falling of In imports into
this country Of late Is mat
ter OF common comment; but like
other results, there are good
reasons therefor. These reasons are
not always understood, and indeed, with
most Of as require thought and study
Of the facts. In the "Bankers' Maya.
zine" for January is an article on the
decline Of imports In 1898, which says
the decline ia not likely to be contin-
nous. The total value Of the imports
during 1898 was 1894 900, 600, as against
s742 631 $50 In 1897. We have
to run back to 1885 before we
fnd a year when the value Of
imports was as small as last
year, and then our population was less
by nearly one third. The decline is not
wholly owing to less in quantity, bpt
to decrease in prices. The pounds Of
coffee In 1893 were about the same as In
1897, but the price was about IS per
cent less. Tea was ten per cent less and
also less in quantity, and SO on In trop
icsl fruits. A billion pounds less Of
sugar came In making near ten millions
less In value.
Before the Dingley tariff went into
operation wool was rushed in to value
Of S75, ,0O0, 900 more than in 1896. This
supply affected Trices last year, and
the wool imported in 1898 was 10, ,0OO, ,0OC
less than the year before. OF course
many other articles were also affected
and higher duties under the Dingley
tariff reduced imports. Manufacturer
of woolen, cotton and jute yarns show
falling off Of sl2,OOo,OOo. Luxurie'
etc. show about the same amount in '9t
as '97. The fact Is the last year wal
exceptional, and the present year will
probably show an improvement in i'm
ports. The tendency is to equalizs al
round.
