A Market For Puerto
Rican Coffee.

There is one product of Puerto
Rico, whose production and sale
cannot be affected in any way by
the bill now pending in Congress,
whether that bill, when passed,
shall provide for reciprocal free ira
do or make horizontal cutn on
the Dingley tariff. That product
II coffee.
Coffee is now admitted free into
the pending measure, it will undo
ubtedIy remain free.
AMI yet it seems impossible to
sell Puerto Rican coffee in the Uni
ted States.
Why should this be ? Certainly
the tariff is not to blame in this ms
tance. Neither is the coffee. Ex-
psrts, acquainted with it1 merits,
agree that the finest coffee in the
world is produced ON this Island.
The reason is that our coffee is prac-
tically unknown in the United Sta
tes. Some we'll meaning people
have attempted to introduce it to
the American breakfast table as a
curiosity, or have induced few to
purchase it on the plea of charity
Our coffee will never become known
and appreciated by such means.
People do not purchase staple arti-
cles of food for sentimental reasons.
No. our coffee should stand on its
own merits. 1t cannot of course
compete in price with the cheap Bro.
zilian coffee, but it can compete both
in price and quality with tho Java
and Mocha cOffees, both ofwhich
command high prices in the United
States, and neither of which is supe-
TlOr In any respect 10 the coffee pro
duced here.
AS with all new products-and it
is ney to Americans-it must be
known to be appreciated. Steps
should be taken to have it properly
advertised in the United States
not as the product of a hurricane
stricken country which it would be
!, charity to purchase, but as great
food staple, equal if not superior to
any coffee now on the American
market.
The people of the United States
will always appreciate a good thing,
and are Wiling to pay for it. Let
the merits of Puerto Rican coffee
become generally known and it will
be but short time before a profita-
bic market will be found in the
States for our entire prOdu ct.

In making ajust estimate Of the
more recent operations of tie Bri-
tish forces it ID important to bear in
mind that the situation compels their
commanders to press aggressive ope-
rations as constantly and vigorously
as possiAls--ffrst to prevent the
Beers frsm detaching large bodies Of
troops to oppose the advance along
the line chosen by Lord Roberts, and,
second, to take advantahe of any
considerable weakening Of the Boer
lines which the other movement of
Lord Roberts may cause, to break
through the Boer lines and relieve
the beleagured British any arrisOns.
Thus it may possibly happen at
any time in the near future that
General Butler may find the Boer
line at some point in his front too
far weakened to resist his vigorous
assaults If not, General Buffers
vigorous operations and those of &C.
neral Methueu on the other flank
must so occupy the Beers as to ma
ke sure Lord Roberts advance on
an intermediate line.
Strategic principles suggest that
the British operations in South Afri-
ca should be conducted on at least
three lines. If a fourth from Della
goa Boy were available it would be
bettler yet.
So General Butler may yet per-
form the most important Births ser
vice in South Africa by holding the
Beers along the line of the Tugela
River until Lord Roberts penetrates
into the heart of Boer territory. In
the meantime, whether the troops 81
Lad, smith are able to bold our IL
the end or must Surrtnder Def0re
they can he relieved, the course of
General Butler must be the same.
He must press his operations there
to hold the Beers, while Lord RO-
berts advances on the other line.
Of the Beers, the information re-
ceived in this country, though mea'
gre, appears to justify us in saying
that their operations have been COIL
Quoted With admirable skill and cou-
rage, endurance, Numbers and ma
terial resources. A long time may
be required to determine on which
side in a great conflict this cOmbina-
ton is most powferul.
