REPLIES TO HARRISON.
Senator Foraker Pleads for Mckinley
Administration.

Cincinnati, Dec Ex-senator J. b.
Foraker has made a reply TO the recent
speech at Ann Arbor, Mich, of Former
President Benjamin Harrison, in
which Mr. Harrison criticised the Porto
Rican policy Of the government, char
acteriziug it as a departure from cor
rect principles. In a speech before the
Manufacturers club of this city last
night Senator Foraker said on this
point:
"AU the questions arising upon the
Porto Rican legislation are soon TO be
passed upon by the supreme court. For
that reason ] do not care to discuss
them at this time, but il is in order to
say that the View taken by the con-
gress. as reflected by that legislation,
was creditable to the generosity, the
patriotism and the industrial spirit of
the American people. We found Porto
Rico DIS poor as poverty could make
her She had no money, no credit. no
system of taxation OF any kind. She
wanted civil government and q
revenue TO support 1t. We gave her a
far more liberal civil government than
was ever given to any territory prior
to the civil war, so far as participa-
ton in it by her people is concerned,
and we dealt by her more generously in
providing support for that government
than we have ever yet dealt with any
territory.
In requiring her 10 pay tariff duties
on imports from foreign countries We
did only what we did With Louisiana,
Florida. California and all the other
territories: but in allowing her to put
these duties, when collected, into her
,v-1 treasury for the support of her
local government, we did what was
never done before for anybody else
