The Presidents announcement IN HIS
message that "0ur plain duty Is to
abolish all customs tariffs between the
United States and Porto Rico and give
her products free access 10 our mar
kets" is naturally hailed with special
satisfaction by the free-trade journals
OF the country. The doctrine upon which
protection has been supported In this
country, and by nobody more strongly
than by the President himself, is that
the basis Of competition in the Amer-
can market shall be the American la
Dor cost OF production. The only rea-
son for having a protective tariff on
products OF foreign countries is TO make
importing competitors pay in tariff du-
ties the equivalent Of the difference In
labor cost This Is the economic and
cqutal.e basis Of protective tariffs.
Now the President recommends that
this entire principle be abolished In
our relation to Porto Rico. whose wages
are lower than those OF almost any
European nation. II the free importa-
ton Of Porto Rlcan products would
have been an economic injury to Amer
lean Industries last year. they Will be 50

FREE TRADE WITH PORTO RICO
,rnnnrIlru

made necessary by the annexation Of
Porto Rico TO the United States, then
that Is a frank confession that the an,
neSation Of Porto Rico IL an economic
and Industrial mistake. Either the
Presidents free-trade proclamation re-
gardlng Porto Rico Is mistake or the
annexation OF the island Is a mistake,
or the tariff policy for which the Presl-
dent has always stood and by virtue OF
which he received his present Office is
q mistake.
The truth Is that Porto Rico Is no
more real part Of the United States
now than when Ii belonged to Spain,
and agricultural industries In this
country need just as much protection
as they ever did from her low-wage
conditions. II We must adhere to the
mistake OF having semi barbaous colo
niles, we ought TO make the double mis-
take Of also opening the door 10 their
depressing influence upon our domestic
Industries. II free trade with Porto
Rico will not injure American indus
tries, then free trade with Cuba would
not, and much less would free trade
with Canada where higher wage con-
dltions prevail, and still less with Eng
land where even higher wages and
shorter hours exist.-From Gunton's
Magazine for January.

tiff had been submitted. the court in
structing the jury To bring in verdict
for the defendants and also ordering
the plaintiff to pay a special allowance
Of $500 to the defendants attorneys.
1t was developed at the trial that the
Baltimore papers had held contracts
with the New York Associated Press
and which the plaintiff contcnded had
been assigned to it when the New
York Associated Press ceased business
in 1893. The defendant papers. in 1895,
joined The Associated Press and the
present action was begun for damages
for the alleged breach of contract.
The testimony given at the trials
showed that the plaintiff company had
never issued any contracts to the Bal
timore papers and that the only con-
tracts issued by the United Press Were
issued by an Illinois corporation of the
same name. The court held. therefore
that the United Press of New York had
no standing in court and dismissed the
