Porto Rican Affairs.


| Speaking Of affairs in Porto Rico, 9.
T. Sayton, an official Of the Department
| Of Agriculture, who has recently been
| there, says: 'Whatever capital is In
vested in the sugar factories, emanat-
ing at all from island sources, is purely
| Spanish. 1t does not belong to Porto
Rico. The peculiar system maintained
| by Spain through all of the business
concerns, and so far as their own capt.
tai was employed. threw everything
into the hands of the Spaniards, who
were simply in Porto Rico doing bust
ness. They do not belong to that ele-
ment OF Porto Ricans that we feel SO
tender about, and would not become
citizens of Porto Rico or this country,
whatever becomes of the constitutional
question. Other factories are owned
and controlled by English capital, 9th
crS by German, and the entire factory
system by Spanish, English and Ger
| man.
"They agree with the planters or
| manufacturers to take their sugar. re-
fine it, and place it on the market, di-
viding the profit on a certain basis, as
| is now being done, and as has been
| done between the Hawaiian planters
and the sugar trust for years. How
| will they divide the profits? Even?
Each getting 371a per cent? We do
| not know. Only the parties interested
know. This point is clear, however,
| and that is that the Porto RicanS are
not benefited. Simply the sugar COM
binations Of this country and the for
eign planters or manufacturers Of
Porto Rico.
Isn't it great deal that we should
| have freed the Porto Ricans from
condition as bad as slavery, making
what concession we of right ought to
make, in justice to the people Of this
country, assuring them that after they
| had attained the standard that one
ought to have to enjoy the rights and
privileges of the Constitution Of the
country, that then they might be adj
mitted with equal privileges with the
rest? Do you think this ought to be
! before wages are paid in that country
somewhere near in comparison with
| wages in this country, Or before the
average citizen Of that country shall at
least be able to understand the prim-
airy principles of our government and
Institutions? We say no. We should
| especially not bring in this great horde
of cheap laborers who receive less per
day than one person could live on in
| this country, and yet they are supposed
to support families on this. We believe
| the laborers of this country will en-
masse resent this proposition.
Il ain a thorough believer in expan-
sion. / believe that expansion is fraught
with incalculable benefit both to the IN
habitants of the island and to the peo-
pie of this country. when Congress
shall have framed such fair, honest,
just and equitable regulations as are
consistent with the right of our own
labor and industries
