American enterprise in all these is-S
lands. In the Philippines there is lum-
ber, tobacco, hemp, minerals and other
products awaiting American skill and
capital think it is safe to say that
at this moment 10000, 900 of capital is
awaiting the result Of the election for
investment in Cuba. If Mckinley is
elected all this capital will be em-
ployed and there will be great oppor-
tunfties for people Of the United States
in these new possessions. On the other
hand, il Bryan is elected every one of
these enterprises will be abandoned. So
far as the standing army is concerned
therei is nothing in it. All that we shall
ask is what any citizen would ask and
should have, merely the protection OF
his property by the government he
helps to; support. =

however. possibility that BY the irtro

they used to believe, in the doctrine
OF endless punishment, this doctrine
we believe is devoid of reason. justice,

Another reason is that all churches

Porto Rican Bill Passed.

BY practically solid republican vote
April IL, the house of representatives
passed the Porto Rican bill, which is the
same bill as they passed before, with the
additions made by the senate for the civil
government of the island
There has been a tempest in a teapot
stirred up by the democrats oyer this bill.
Among the people there has been little
genuine excitement. The popular indig-
nation was mainly a creature of the
Bryanite Imagination. Most of the peo-
pie have had sense enough to see that
the bill was judicious compromise to
bridge over the time till the islands
trade and civil government are in a more
settled condition.
The bill is constitutional, despite the
raYings of its opponents. BY the consti-
tuition congress has power te dispose of
and make all needful rules and regulations
respecting the territory and other proper
fy belonging to the United States.'' Con-
gress can therefore regulate it sees
fit the matter of revenue for the island.
So far from being oppressive the 10 per
cent, (beiDg equivalent to about per
cent ad valorem) of the Dngley tariff
imposed on dutiable goods passing be-
tween the United States and Porto Rico.
is the lightest of taxation. 1t is taxation
for revenue only. 1t is intended to sup
ply the lSlauU With money TOT govern
ment in the least oppressive way. If the
constitution did require the taxation of
Porto Rico to be the same as that of the
United States, the democrats say, then
the Internal revenue laws would be i'm
posed A swarm of revenue officers
would have TO be appointed and the Porto
Ricans would be visited with burden
which in their present condition they
could not bear.
For space of two years at most the
revenue IS TO come from the customs
taxes, fer all the 10 per cent tariff
whether collected at Porto Ricau or at
United States ports is to go into the
island treasury. When the two years ex-
pine they may be able to bear the direct
taxation imposed by internal revenues.
As for trusts. it they that raised the
most of the opposition to the bill You

To Abolish Saloons.

The town Of Aurora, ILL.,, has de
cided to abolish saloons and as a
business proposition the merchants Of
the town viii subscribe the $500
that the saloons pay. Whisky at the
best is a fool, and at its worst, when
it owes a town it is a knave. Yester-
day the Kansas City Star, the clean
est paper in the west, printed an edi-
torial against saloon domination in
city politics, that twenty years ago
no secular paper would have dared
to print. The people are becoming
very tired of whisky; not on moral
grounds, but because whisky and
loafing go together and as the busy
men in the world have to buy the
grub the loafers eat, the busy men
are becoming annoyed at the impu-
dence of whisky.-Emporia Gazette.
