PUERTO RICO

The passage of the Puerto Rican
tariff bill in thu United States senate
and the concurrence of the house yes
terday in the senate amendments, TO-
gether with the fact that republican
majorities were secured at the recent
elections in western states, do not in
dictate that either the people, or
their Representatives in con-
gress, are as alarmed over the
question OF free trade with the leland
as some nervous newspapers would
have their readers believe.
With only l5 per cent of the present
Dingley tariff rates to pay, the Puerto
Ricans will feel that they are going
scot-free IN the way OF taxation when
they compare these rates with those OF
Spanish rule. According to report
made by DR.. Henry K. Carroll, special
Gem N issioner, who was sent to Puerto
Rico in 1899. the earnings of merchants,
m manufacturers, and other producers
there were, under Spanish rule, SUBJ
ject to tax of III per cent or more,
according to the financial exigencies
OF the treasures, provincial
and municipal. For example,
If merchants income were val
ued at 81, 900 year, he would pay in
direct taxes Sl35. He would also pay
for his personal passport from II cents
up to s25 or more. He would pay direct
taxes on his residence, furniture,
horses and other live stock, if not
used for labor. II he were just start
ing In business, he would pay q tax for
the privilege.
Articles of common use, such
as rice, -four, corn, charcoal,
wines, ETC., not only paid heavy i'm
port duties, but were subject, together
with fresh beef, milk, and sugar pro-
duoed In the island, to consume tax
at the gates Of the municipalities. For
example, flour, which had paid duty
of 81 per 100 kilos at the custom house,
paid at the city gates $3.50 consume
tax. or a total of $3.50, which 'was at
the rate of a bout 50 hundred weight.
Rice, the common article of diet, paid
81 70 i'm port duty and 81 consume tax;
fresh beef paid consume tax of So a
hundred kilos, or 220 pounds. This
was in additi on to the head tax paid
the city by the slsug Under the
Is per cent of the Dingley rate, the
Puerto Ricans would, comparatively,
be free from all taxation.

WHAT a boomerang the Occur
d'Alene mining investigation is prov
ing to the democrats. Beginning with
the resolution of Representative Lentz,
upon which it was ordered, and al
most every word of which Governor
Steunen berg has sworn was untrue, the
testimony both Of the governor and Man
ager Burbridge has recoiled upon the
democrats. Represe ntatives Lentz and
Sulzer have had lot of free adver-
Using, but they have failed entirely to
make case. The action of the strik-
ing min ers. incendisr and murderers
will never be sustained by reputable

In connection with the 'open door
policy Ia China, established through
the efforts of Secretary Hay and this
ADMINISTRATION, it is interesting to
note what Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson said recently in an interview:
"Anything produced in the United
States will now permanently find its
way into all parts of the celestial en-
pire. Our trade relations there in
the future are secured. The trade in
cotton goods has been very heavy in
Manchuris and other northern prov
inces. Our interests generally, our
dairy, poultry, and other products
from the farms of the United States
now have assurance of permanent
markets in all the provinces through
out the Chinese empire where suoh
things are in demand, and this demand
is growing and will continue to grow.
The work of Secretary Hay in this re-
gard supplements and compliments the
work of our army and navy"

THE MODERN NEWSPAPER

Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, of Sinai Tenn
pie, Chicago, does not take much stock
In the Sheldonisn experiment at To-
peka. He defends the modern news
papers in good, terse English, and says:
"Mr. Sheldon says that the news
papers pry into private lives. The
newspapers do no unnecessary prying
into privacy. When a man is before
the public, his every move Ia of inter
est, and it is right that the people
should know all about him. Regard
ing advertisements, the time has gone
by when there was any suggestiveness
in the picture of a woman in corsets.
To the pure, ali things are pure. You
cannot prevent the topper from having
his toddy by keeping whisky advertise
ments out of the newspapers. II is
charged that men do not always write
according to their convictions. This
Is nothing against the morality of edi-
torial writer's. Lawyers advocate the
eide on which they are employed. 1t
Is charged that the newspapers con-
tain too extended notices of crime
They simply reflect life as it is. Very
few newspapers present vice in an at
tractive garb. 1t Is presumptuous for
Mr.. Sheldon to say that he will con-
duct q newspaper as Jesus would; Jesus
would not conduct newspaper"
1t Is unfortunate that the rabbi les
sens the effect of his very strong de-
fence of the modern newspaper by the
presumptuous declaration that Jesus
would not conduct a newspaper" 1t
is not given to man to know what
Jesus would do were he on earth In
person today.
