The people are earnestly
studying the Porto Rican tariff
problem which has suddenly become
the all-absorbing political topic. To
aid them in this study we print to-
day the speech delivered by Con-
gresham Cannon of Illinois while
the Porto Rican tariff bill was pend
ing in the house. Mr.. Cannon's
speech was the ablest defense made
Of the bill as it passed the house, and
will repay a careful reading by all
who are honestly seeking light on
the subject.
In a communication to the Indian
apolis Journal Judge r. S. Taylor oil
Fort Wayne makes the following
suggestions:
There is good reason to believe that
the exportable property in Porto
-Ri00 belongs now to American own
tariff VIM ~fucroSSo Their profits wish
out benefiting the Porto Ricans. We
can prevent that result by contin-
uing to collect the present duties
on Porto Rican imports and expend-
ing the money in Porto Rico in the
relief of distress and in the making
of improvements necessary to the
beginning OF independent develop
ment and prosperity in that island.
On the other hand, there is no rea-
son why congress should not at once
provide for free entry into the island
of all exports from the United States
for consumption there, applying to
all other imports the provisions OF
the Dingley tariff. That would bene-
fit the islanders and not the specula-
tors, and the benefits would be i'm
mediate. If it is thought best to
open the door on the other side also,
and admit Porto Rican products into
this country free, that can be done
by a law to take effect a year or two
hence and with respect to things
hereafter produced. The advantage
of the change will then enure to the
people of the island.
It strikes us that Judge Taylor's
plan is wise and practicable. While
preventing the spectators who have
bought up the stocks Of tobacco and
sugar in Porto Rico from reaping a
harvest cut of immediate and com
plete free trade with Porto Rico it
would open the ports of that island
to American farm products free OF
duty.

Christ would approve If He were on

Of successfully conducting a daily pa
