TIE PRESIDENT
Is Alleged to Firmly Believe in Free Trade
for the Puerto Ricans.

Washington. March 6-The Post, to-
morrow, will say:
President Mckinley in conversation
with callers at the White House. yes
terday, reiterated his belief that the
people of Puerto Rico were entitled Ia
free trade with the United States. lie
made it clear that his views had under
gone no change since he wrote his
message to Congress. He still adhered
to the sentiment therein expressed. At
the same time he said he was unable
to subscribe to the theory that the
constitution followed the flag; that the
Puerto Ricans must have free trade a.
a necessary legal right.
when he found that the House
deemed ii the part of wisdom. the Pres
ident explained. to impose small
tariff upon condition that the revenue
collected shall be returned To the
island. he had been constrained to yield
to the Judgment Of the House. The
tariff, under such conditions would be
no hardship to the Puerto Ricans.
Moreover. he believed it advisable. at
the earliest possible moment. to secure
the decision of the supreme court on
the constitutional question involved.
Therefore he had given his consent to
the nominal tariff and agreed to sign
such bill.
He left no doubt in the minds of his
callers. whom he questioned closely re
garding the drift of public sentiment
that Congress, not the Executive. 3vIs
responsible for the chang Of policy.

Washington, March 6.-Not probably

final vote on a graf measure as was
manifested, today, in the vote on the
conference report on the financial bill.
The report was before the Senate for
nearly two weeks, yet only four Speech-
es We're delivered upon ii, including
Aldrichs explanation of the changes
made in the Senate bill by the con-
ferees. Today, discussion ceased on
the bill 10 minutes before the time 1lX-
ed for the vote and the Senate actual
ly began the consideration of minor
bills on the calendar to consume time
The conference report was agreed 10
by a vote of Al to 26, the report mus
having a majority of Is.
Early in the session, discussion or
the Quay case was resumed by Simon,
who replied to the speech made, yes
terday, by Carter of Montant The
speech precipitated debate on Ore

Corbett from the attack made upon
him by the Montana senator.
Allen Neb. closed the debate on the
financial bill in a characteristic speech
in which he denounced the measure as
the most vicious legislation in his eX

be within the power Of Congress either
at that time or prior To it to determine

Every Man Must be That, to Retain His
Health and Digestion.

Every Man Must be That to Retain His
Health and Digestion.
There are thousands Of people in this,
world who eat no meat from one years
end to another, and certain savage tribes
in Africa and Polynesia are almost eXclu-
sively meat eaters; but while there are
thousands of these, there are millions
who live upon 4 mixed diet Of meat, veg
etables and grains and if numbers is
criterion it would seem that a mixed
diet is the best for the human family.
The fact that you viii find many vege-
tarians who appear healthy ana vigorous
and meat eaters equally so, and any num-
Der OF robust speciments Who eat both
meat and vegetables and anything else
that comes their way all goes to show
that the old saw is the true one, that
every man must be a law to himself to
what he shall eet and drink
To repair the waste of tissue in brain
workers as well as to replace the muscle
and sinew Of the laborer, can only be
done through the process Of digestion.
Every nerve, muscle, sinew, every drop
of blood is extracted from the food we
eat and digest.

artificial habits of life, scarcely one per-
son in a thousand can lay claim to per-
feet digestion; dyspepsia is q national af-

Most cases of poor digestion are caused
by failure of the stomach to secrete suff-
cient gastric, juice or too little Hydro
chloric acid and lack of peptones and all
of those important essentials to perfect
digestion are found in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets in convenient palatable form.
One or two Of these tablets taken after
meals insure perfect digestion and assim-
ilation of the food
Cathartic pills and laxative medicines
have no effect whatever in digesting food
and to call such remedies a cure for
dyspepsia is far fetched and absurd.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pep
