LAST DAY ON PUERTO RICO
Debate on The Proposed Tariff Measure Is
Warm.
Vigorous Opposition 90 the Blli ms IL
10 Before the House of Rep
resentatives.

Washington, Feb. 27.--The last day OF
the general debate OF the Puerto Rico
tariff bill opened with twenty minute
speech by Mr.. Carmaek (renn) IN OPP
position to the bill. The alternative
presented by the bill he said was the
abandonment OF our priceless principles
or OF our possessions. The country had
been dazzled with the gorgeous picture
Of empire. but yet at the very thresh-
old OF the new departure he said gem
tlemen on the other side had been ap-
palled lest the trade which they had
looked at with covetous eyes would
bring ruin aud destruction to American
labor Therefore the new possessions
were 10 become colonies and ~ turned
over 10 carpet Dagger Adventures. He
said that Mr.. Grosyenor the other day
had displayed dense ignorance when
he had declared that this was the battle
Of 1860 over again. He read from the
Republican platform OF 1860 10 show
that II set ny the very contention men.
tained by the Democrats now--that the
Constitution was supreme In the Terri
tories and extended over every foot o.
ground over which the United States
had Jurisdiction. That was the doc
trine Of the Republican and Abraham
Lincoln" said he. and We stand here
10 defend the theory that slavery and
political despotlsm cannot be imposed
within the jurisdiction OF our country,
that life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness are the inaiienable right OF all
within our jurisdiction"
Mr.. Clayton tAla.), who followed Mr..
Carmack, created much amusement ana
enthusiasm by reading a letter written
by Chairman Payne 20 w. II. Curtis Of
Palmyra, n Y, January "a 1900, In
which he advocated free trade with
Puerto Rico on the ground that Il
would give relief 10 the stricken island.
The letter also contained the following
reference 20 the Philippines:
Under the treaty the Philippines are
10 have free trade with Spain for ten
years. We could not extend these
tariff laws 20 the Philippine Islands
even n we would"
Mr. Payne smllllngly assented 10 the
request and expressed the hope that
there would be no objection
Mrkledberg Tex and Peary CTenn)
also opposed the bill.
The latter declared that the brood OF
trusts had nocked 10 Washington aud
had compelled the leaders OF the Repub.
lioan party 10 turn their backs upon
Puerto Rico. He asked n the people
OF the island were not entitled 10 as
much consideration as the sultan OF
Sulu who was granted free trade with
all the Philippine islands.
Mr. De Almond MOI said the bill
proposed 10 set aside the Constitution
not for the purpose Of doing something
philanthropic. but IN the interest Of the
partial or complete enslavement Of a
helpless people. The change Of front
had been brought about by the influence
Of the agents OF mighty corporations.
