And then the wording of the treaty
of peace is directly to the point. 1t
provides that "the civil rights and
political status of the native inhsbi-
ssnts of the territories hereby ceded to

No constitutional right? Then all
the decisions of the courts for years
must be declared void, the treaty of
peace unconstitutional, and congress
pack of fools.
A vast deal OF democratic gas has
been burnt over the imaginary rob
berry of the Puerto Ricans and the al
legged trucking to the sugar and to-
bacco TRUSTS by the present ad-
ministration. Let US see.
First, the bill gives Puerto Rico alb
solute free trade in most of the neces-
saries of life, practically all food stuffs,
and such other things as have already
been made free by executive orcer or
are free in the Dingley law.
Second. it protects especially the Pu-
erto Rico coffee trade, by long ways
the most important industry of the is
land.
Third, it is provided that all money
collected from duties on Puerto Rico
trade shall be devoted to the benefit of
the people of Puerto Rico.
Fourth, the demand for a duty on
Puerto Rico trade came not from
s'trusts'' or ''monopOlies, but from the
farmers and laborers of the country.
One memorial presented to congress
was signed by the presidents of or
gsnizations representing 100000
voters engaged in the sugar beet,
sugar cane, tobacco, wool, cotton, fruis,
vegetable, rice, and nut industries,
and in general agriculture. Among
the organizations thus officially
protesting against free trade we're the
Texas Wool Growers association, the
Texas Truck Growers association, and
the Pecos Valley Beet Sugar company
at carlsbad.
Congress had perfect constitutional
right to do as it has done, and the ad-
ministration policy is Of direct benefit
to the producer and the wage Garner of
this country as we'll as to Puerto Rico.
The repu blican party stands with the
administration on this proposition.
And another democratic tissue" lie
squashed.
