Queries About The
Tariff.
TO the Editor of the BoLETIN
MERoANTIL:

To the Editor of the BoLETIN
MERoANTIL:
| agree with the vast majority Of
Puerto Ricans and the very outspo-
ken minority Of American citizens
and periodicals who denounce the
imposition Of a tariff on Puerto Ri
can imports and exports as unfair,
unnecessary and perhaps unconsti-
tutlonal.
| do not know what is the policy
Of your paper in the premises, but
hope that you will not find it incons-
istent with your policy whatever it
may be, to enlighten me by answe-
ring the following pregnant ques-
tons -
lst. Is it fair to accuse the Ma.
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-03-22
T. de QUE.

lst No, is not fair to accuse the
National Assembly of committing
such an act; but this is not the ac-
eusaCiOn that is generally made, but
that Congress has failed to provide
some efficacious and prompt meas.
ure such as a loan, to raise the Is
land from its present prOstration.
The American Government may
establish system of customs du.
ties for Porto Rico for reasons Of
expediency and not for reasons Of
abstract justice.
The return of these duties has
nothing to do, one way or the, other,
with the question of the necessity or
the relative justice of establishing a
customs tariff.
In addition, we would invite the
attention of our correspondent to the
fact that he is wrong in stating that
the tariff tax thus far collected has
ALREADY been voted back" to the
Island.
The bill has, it is true, passed
each Branch of Congress but the
House has not yet agreed to the Sc
nate amendments, and it is impos-
ible to say definitely now in just
what shape it will pass, or indeed,
if it will pass at all.
I'd. AS far as relates to the Uni
ted States and Puerto Rico, the
question of expediency need not be
considered when a great principle is
involved. If this is United States
territory, as it certainly has been
since April IL, 1899, then Congress
has no constitutional right to impose
any tariff.
In general, the indirect customs
tax is preferable to a direct tax,
although not because the consumer,
who in the end will pay the lax, is
rich or poor, but because it car
be collected with half the trouble
and expense ofcOllecting other taxes,
direct or indirect, such as the transit
tax and the internal taGes on arti.
cles of luxury and pleasure, neces-
sary Of the Island. But we must moi
forget to except the principle of the
coastwise trade between ports of the
same nation, which is the legal qua
IificatiOn of Porto Rican ports IS
respects the United States.
