The purpose of the Administration ia
setting up a tariff barrier between the
United States and part of its territory Is
very plain. The President holds that Con-
gress has the right to govern our depen-

Constitution. From this point Of view. as
stated on the authority of Mr.. Henry L.
Nelson. Congress has the power to estab-
fish one tariff system in Porto Rico, an
other system in the Philippines and a
third in Hawaii; or. if it pleases. to i'm
pose duties on the products of Porto Rico
and the Philippines. but to admit the
products of Hawaii to the United States
free Of duty. In order to establish this
principle the starving and INDECENT Porto
Ricans will be taxed, ostensibly for the
purpose of raising revenue for the island
on articles of food and deprived of
all the privileges which the Constitution
gives to the people of the country by which
they have been annexed. To maintain this
extTaconstitutiOnal theory, therefore. the
party in power has deliberately committed
itself to an act Of inhumanity unparalleled
in the history of the United States.

The pretence that all the money COL
lected will go to the Porto Rieans" is Of
a piece with the rest of the fraud and by
pocrisy and robbery that are back Of this
bill The duties paid upon the food and
clothing Of the starving and naked Porto
Ricans will not go back to the poor
wretches who pay them. 1t will go to the
carpet-bag officials and other agents OF the
Government that Mr.. Mckinley has set up
there.
The bill violates the Constitution. It
imposes upon the Porto Rieans the tyranny
of taxation without representation against
which our forefathers rebelled. It violates
the promise of General Miles to the in
habitants. never disavowed by our Gov
eminent, that Porto Rico under the Amer
lean flag will enjoy the same privileges and
the same immuuities as the citizens of the
different States and Territories of the

All other questions and details aside,
however, when the voters OF this country
go to the polls on the 9Th of November
next it will be for them to decide whether
William Mckinley is to be President
Of the United States for another term
Of four years. A little while ago, and it
would have been impossible for any fair
minded man, however partisan or ami
mated by desire for Democratic success,
10 expect anything but an easy victory for
the Republican candidate. within the
last ten days. however. Mr.. Mckinley has
proven himself no more fit 10 remain ID
the Presidential chair than his party is to
retain control of the House of Represent
ati.es. The lamentable exhibition he has
made Of his inyertebrate personality in the
Porto Rican business is one which is with
out parallel in the history of any of his
predecessors, including three at least who
have disgraced the country. It destroys
the last vestige OF public respect and con-
hdence which may have survived his pro-
lection Of Algerism: his astounding in
difference to popular sentiment and Amer
lean decency in his federation Of Eagan;
his complacency toward the vretches who
poisoned our soldiers with rotten beef in
the spanish War; his political favorirism
in the matter OF Army commissions; his
secret deals and engagements relating TO
land settlements in the Philippines; his
support Of Sampson and the Illegal act of
the Navy Department in placing that per-
sen in command over his superior officers;
his backing OF Secretary Gage in that clTl-
ciars transactions with the Standard Oil
bank, and long chapter of other Of
fences against good government and ma
lonaI propriety.
As 10 Democratic duty and purpose in
regard to the accomplished fact of expan-
sion, there can be no question. Porto
Rico. Hawaii. the Philippines, and the ISL
ands Of Guam aud Tutuila are and must
remain American territory. In no possible
way can we give them up, and, if we
could. the people Of this country would
never consent TO the surrender How shall
the inhabitants OF these possessions be /
and given the blessings Of per- !
sonal liberty and freedom Of trade which |
we acknowledge as rights belonging to |
wen the wild Indians of the far West?
