The Porto Rican matter is grand ex.
ample Of the manner in which a mole
bill may be magnifed into a mountain
The Bryan stump orators are glib in
their description Of the manner in which
the Mckinley government has taxed
the poor oppressed Porto Ricans Is per
cent" leaving the inference almost in.
ysriably that the tax" is Is per cent ol
the values OF the products. The real
fact Of the matter, as everyone ought to
know, Is that all but Is per cent Of the
old tariff was taken Oh, and the Is per
cent was retained merely as temporary
measure for the relief Of the sufferers
from the terrible hurricane which dew
astated the island, and the income is
applied in that direction. This micro.
scopic tariff does not affect the Porto
Rican people, who had disposed Of their
crops. 1t affects the sugar and tobacco
trusts, who had two years crops stored
up in the Porto Riean ware houses wait
for free trade with the United States,
and the measure was really a means by
which these same trusts we're compelled
TO contribute somewhat to the relief
fund.
