BUILDING 4 9ARIFF WALL
Senator Bacon Attacks the Porto
Riean Relief Bill Report.
He characterize the Republican
Proposition as n Peace Offering to
the PeopIe-The RraI Object to
bar Out the Island Colony Through
the Agency OF the DIngIey Act.

In the Senate today. the conference re-
port on the Porto Rican Relief bill was
taken up.
Mr Bacon criticised the report. saying
that an analysis OF 81 would show that the
Senate had practically yielded everything
10 the House and that the House had
yielded nothing TO the Senate
The provision Of a vital character in the
conference report was to strike from the
bill the limitation OF the appropriation OF
the revenue from Porto Rico Up TO January
!. 1890, so as TO allow al the revenue re-
eeived since then from the same source
TO be used indefinitely for the same pur-
pose. The object OF that was. Mr.. Bacon
said, 70 provide for the contingency that
the bill me- pending in the Senate fer the
regulation OF tariff relations with Porto
Rico and other territory might fail: snd
that, II It did fail, the revenue might be
continued
Mr.. Bacon described the storm OF IN
dignation' which had burst all over the
country at the policy of establishing arg
duties against Porto Rico and said that
the bill to restore the amount collected
thus improperly was "a peace Offering 10
appease the indignation Of the people.
The tariff policy had not only stirred uD
trouble IN the country At large, bat had
stirred up trouble In the Senate. j. h4I
led 10 the Institution OF a committee which
he had never before heard OF, "a peace
committee to make peace between Re
Dublicans on that question. On which the
country at large was divided and on which
the Republican party was necessarily di-
yided.
The adoption Of the conference report
and the passage OF the bill meant Nl
Bacon asserted, the continuance OF ts-ln
wall between Porto Rico and the rest az
the United States, a tariff wall not only
Of - per cent Of the Dingley rates but
Of Ice per cent OF those rates. Those who
did not believe there should be q tariff
wall between Porto Rico and the rest Of
The United states should net close their
eyes 20 the fact that the adoption OF the
conference report and the adjournment Il
Congress without further legislation on
the subject would leave the tariff wall
standing. All the talk about charity and
benevolence In the bill was mere after
thought The bill was for the purpose 81
making peace with an outraged people
He repeated that the conference report IL
vOlved the question whether or not there
should be continued. not a moderate tariff
bin, but the present Dingley act. between
Porto Rico and the rest OF the United
States.
