Adventure. OF Two l.et,ern.

Mr.. Richard J. Biggs, president OF the
Richard J. Biggs Commission Company, tell.
the following interesting stories OF the mails:
mot long since letter reached us through
the mail badly stained and blurred from being
water-soaked, 1t having been mailed some
years before by one of our European custom
ers, now out Of business, sending a valuable
order for execution. The letter after resting
at the bottom OF the ocean for long while,
was finally recovered with other mail and de-
livered to US In Baltimore.
"Here 10 another instance Of both delay and
promptnesa. We received. some while since,
letter from West Virginia. having been
mailed us over nine years previously, offering
US three cars Of goods, which letter. in some
unaccountahle manner. had slipped behind
the framework in the mail car, where It rested
for years and finally when the car was broken
up at the railroads shops this letter was dis
covered and In due course was delivered to
us. We then promptly accepted the three
cars, but the shipper may now be waiting nine
years before replying to our acceptance.
"While these DELAYS have their impressive
and interesting features at the same time,
not speaking jestingly, 1t is an exhibition Of
the reliability Of our postal system. "-BalG-

The CORPORATION influence.

There can be no longer doubt that
the Porto Rico tariff bill was passed
through the house only by the inter
vention of the sugar and tobacco
trusts. The fact was further estab.
lished by the votes of the only three
democrats who were for the bill
Messrs. Davey and Meyer, of New
Orleans, the center of the sugar pro-
ducing section of the country, and
therefore subject to the favor of the
sugar trust, and Mr.. De Vries. the
only democratic member of the Cali
fornia delegation-a delegation neces-
sarily bound up with the interests of
, the sugar trust-are the three demo-
, Gratis who sustained the bill. Mr..
Bellamy, Of North Carolina, a state in
which the tobacco trust is very
strong. declined to vote on the meas
ure. As matter of course, the trust
mem bers of the trust-made republic
can party were for the bill. 1t is not
denied that the tobacco and sugar in
terests mainly were responsible for
the radical and sudden change i'm
pressed upon the republican leaders
in congress, when, after President
Mckinley, in his annual message had
urged in ringing phrases that it was
our plain duty that absolute free
trade be extended to Porto Rico, and
Chairman Payne and other mem bers
of the ways and means committee
had Endorsed the presidents view, a,
bill. laying a discriminating duty of
% per cent, was framed and forced
upon the party by caucus action.
Nor is there much doubt that a
shrewd "bunco" trick was played to
pass the bill by adding amendments
which, it is possible, may be knocked
out by the senate.
The Foraker bill for Porto Rico
now pending in the senate was a free
trade measure, as originally drawn,
but rs soon as it became Inevitable
that the party must split on the issue
if tariff for Porto Rico was insisted
upon, Senator Foraker had the COM
mittee TO which his bill was referred
amend it so as to lay an average tariff
tax of % per cent upon the products
of Porto Rico. 1t is understood that
when the house bill reaches the senate.
the compromise duty of Is per cent
will be raised TO the original figure.
% per cent, and the two years limita-
ton will be cut out and that the sem
ate will not recede from this position.
1t is ciPated that all differences
over the insignificant detail of per-
centage will be compromised between
house members by the time the bill
reaches the conference stage. aud that
the house will yield to the senate sub
siitute. SO mattsrsar worked under a
republican administration.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-03-03
The PerIrs and Evils of imperialism.

The Periis and Evils OF imperialism.
Dreams of empire still dazzle the
minds of the McKinleyites and mil
lions of taxes wrung from American
labor are to be thrown into the mael-
strom OF imperial adventure. Gen.
Shafter says that a garrison must be
maintained in the Philippines forever
that the people of the island anu It
be kept in subsection by military
power, which means a large standing
army. There is. besides, untold dis
tress in Porto Rico and Hawaii as a
result of our benevolent assimila-
ton" of those islands, and congress is
trying to extend relief to one by
bringing it into the United States gov
eminent under the constitution, and
to the other by the unconstitutional
imperial method of taxing it's COM
merce going and coming under
the plea of raising funds to re-
lieve the distress of it's people. We
also sit over a volcano in Cuba, where
we have no moral right to be. And
there are still infinite possibilities of
trouble involved in our secret alliance
with England engineered by the Nc
Kinley administration, and in our pro-
posed participation In the dlsmem ber-
ment of China.
Whether the Nicaragua canal shall
serve as another Pandora's box for us
is matter for speculation, but there
can be no question that the jingoes
are hunting for trouble and will find
it if they can.
All history and all experience are
filed with warnings of the perils OF
mperialism-the vicious undemo-
cratic unrePublican policy that the
federal administration seems bent
upon pursuing.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-03-03

1T is a pretty predicament that in
wolves republicans in administration
and congressional circles in Washing
ton as result of the tariff legislation
on the subject of Porto Rico. The
action of the administration in recon-
mendation by message to congress
that the $4,000. 900 in revenue so far
collected from the island be applied
for the benefit of the Inhabitants. and
the speedy adoption by the house of
bill conforming to the suggestion of
the president. has not relieved the
situation in the least. On the other
hand. such a courseis regarded by the
most conservative in this country as
about as cowardly a makeshift as the
present president has ever been guilty
of. The people of Porto Rico are not
asking for cash-they are contending
for a principle. They ask to be
treated as Americans or as aliens,
and they righteously expect this gov
eminent either to recognize their
needs in the spirit of patriotism or to
let them know frankly what to look
for. If it is to be the business inter-
ests of America against the business
interests of Porto Rico. the island
population will realize at a glance
how they are to fare.
