CAN WE WIN ON THIS PLAT
FORMP

IFrom the Chicago Inter Ocean.l
Any citizen who wishes TO know the
motive and purpose Of the Infamous
Oxnard tariff against Porto Rico should
secure at once from his congressman
copy of the Hon. Serene Payne's speech
for that measure.
Mr. Payne is chairman Of the ways
and means committee which, with the
aid Of the sugar and tobacco lobby, con-
ceived the Oxnard tariff. He was the
chief defender of the tariff in the house.
and his statements commit not only
himself, but also his committee and the
Republican majority behind it. More
over, If the Oxnard tariff become a law.
they viii commit the whole Republican
party
With a frankness that in some cases,
but not in this. would be commendable,
the chairman of the ways and means
committee thus laid bare the whole in
fanny Of the Porto Rico proposition:
Il have yet to see a tobacco man who
fears the Introduction of the Porto
Rican product. Their great fear is that
II we should give free trade to Porto
Rico we should follow it with free trade
with the Philippine islands and ulti-
nately with Cuba" AS regards the
sugar lobby and its chief. Henry OK
nard. Mr.. Payne then added: He (Ox-
nard) was afraid that when prosperity
came to Porto Rico under free sugar
Cuba would be knocking at the door for
admission" Then Mr. Payne stated
bluntly that, in view Of these facts. it
was the purpose Of the tariff bill to
make a precedent that all men can
read" as a warning to Cuba and the
Philippines.
This, then. is the conclusion of the
whole matter in the eyes of the Repub-
hcan majority in the house-our prom
ises of ''immunities and blessings to
the Porto Ricans are no more; the
pledges Of "one flag and one destiny
are buried; our proclamations Of pros
perity, liberal institutions" and
equal rights and privileges are be-
come mere rhetoric; and, instead Of an
example of American justice and en-
lightenment, Porto Rico is to be made
warning repeTent warning-to
the lands which otherwise might wish
TO come under American rule. The is
land is not to be allowed to grow pros
porous enough to compare favorably
with Cuba under Cuban rule. It must
be scourged with the same old Spanish
scorpions-tariffs. impeded trade, colon
ialism, and imperialisnn-in order that
Cubans and Filipinos may be frighten-
ed out of aspiring to anything that
might interfere with the interests of the
