THE TARTFF oUIBBLE.
ICON the Boston POSI-

From the Boston ROSI.I
Porto Rico goes hungry while the
sauabble at Washington goes on. And
what a mockery it is? In lucid mo-
ment the president demanded free trade
for that island as the plain duty of
the United States. The Republican con-
gress answered this demand with the
declaration that a IS per cent tariff,
based on the Dingley schedules, was alb
solutely needed as a source of revenue
to meet the cost of administration. If
the Republican majority in the ways
and means committee was honest in
this recommendation. their views would
be entitled to respect But when OPP
position arose they at once dropped 10
per cent off their proposed tariff and
admitted that Is per cent would be
enough
This concession is fatal to confidence
in their sincerity. In fact, it exposes
the humbug of the whole scheme of a
Porto Riean tariff Twenty-Five per
cent is confessedly too much: so is Is
per cent. The whole business of a tariff
tax on the commerce of that island is
a bubble. Why. if a % per cent tariff
IS necessary, as the ways and means
committee declared at first, are they
ready to accept 10 per cent, which man
ifestly must be inadequate? The re-
treat Of the committee from its original
position is simply an attempt to save
something for the protected trusts from
the demands of the people for Porto
Rico
The only way out Of this contempti-
bic muddle is to give Porto Rico a ter
ritoriaI government under the Consti-
tuition. where It belongs. and authorize

NEARLY $4,000 DUE.
Counties Indebted to the State in
That Sum.

State Auditor George E. Cole has pre-
pared a comparative statement showing
the condition of the delinquent tax ac-
counts with the state on the part of
the various counties in 1895 when he
was in the office the first time and the
present time.
eat the beginning of 1885," says Mr..
Cole 1.-The delinquent state tax due
from the counties was $145, $50. Janu-
airy l. 1899, the increases had made the
total sum due the state $242, 1888. Dur
ing 1899 there was paid on this account
s152. 1923, leaving a balance of SIS, S15.
This sum is due at the present time. In
1895 there were but thirty-four coun-
ties in the state which did not owe the
state delinquent taxes. At this time
fifty-six counties have paid up in full
and the accounts are now balanced"
The counties as a rule are making
prompt settlements of these accounts,
and that part of the states business is
now in better shape than it has been for
many years.
