is standing with the Iowa delegation in
congress on the Porto Rico tariff bill.
Yes, have said l had no criticism
of the Porto Rican tariff bill,' said the.
governor. II am pleased, not that a
tariff has been levied, but that congress
feels free to do whatever seems expedi-
ent. To do the wisest thing in the pres
ent tense is always wise. If the Porto
Ricans need revenues. and this seems to
be admitted, how, from a republican
standpoint, can they be more wisely
furnished than by means of a slight tar
if, admittedly in no manner burden
some? And how can Porto Rieans be
better educated in craftsmanship than
by teaching them the advantages of a,
tariff, Of even protective tariff? Flu
ture congresses Will be wise enough to
deal with future emergencies, and il
may be we'll TO leave the field open for
the enactment of any law at any time
