Facts That XIII.


In defiance of plain duty" plight
ed faith and the conscience of the
great republican party. 81 repu blican
senator's voted yesterday to impose a
tariff on Porto Rico. Their excuses
for so doing have been laid before the
public in the last few days These
excuses have to do almost exclusively
with constitutional law. and, despite
the fact that they were all drawn
from brief prepared in the war de-
partment, they would merit fair con-
sideration were it not for these con-
spicuous facts:
Gen. Miles understood the constitu-
ton when he promised the Porto Ric-
ans equal blessings and immuni-
ties" President Mckinley under
stood it when he pledged US to lone
flag and one destiny Secretary
Root had its provisions in mind when
he officially declared that Porto Rico
free trade was demanded by the
highest considerations of justice and
good faith"
The members of the cabinet were
not ignorant of the constitution when
they unanimously approved the pres
ident's message that set forth 'our
plain duty" 10 the people of the ISL
and. Senators and congressman were
acquainted with it when, last Deem
Der, they went TO their homes and
among their constituents indorsing
the policy that had been proclaimed
from the White House and accepted by
the people.
1t was, therefore, with full under
tav Of hn 81 m nd off
full consideration of Porto Rican
conditions. that the republicans in
Washington took their stand for free
trade with Porto Rico. They stood
fast for year and a half, up to the
time of the presidents message,
through the holiday recess. through
the subsequent proceedings of con-
gress, and up to the moment wien
the sugar and tobacco monopoly de-
scended upon Washington and took
possession of the WAYS and means
committee of the house. At that mo-
ment all but a faithful few deserted
their platform and fled.
No word in favor of Porto Rican
tariff had been heard from a republi-
can leader;-yet, presto! Over night
the policy of equal blessings and i'm
munities," lone flag and one des-
tiny" "our plain duty" and the
highest considerations of justice and
good faith" was repudiated. and the
policy of imperialism, a warning
precedent, free rum and the Oxnard
tariff was proclaimed.
The constitution was not changed.
The republican creedwas not changed.
The pledges of our president, our sec
rotary of war, our senator's, our rep
resentatives and our cabinet officers
were not changed. Good faith, tradi-
ton, honesty and justice were not
changed. The conscience of the peo-
pie was not changed. Only repdbli-
can votes in congress were changed,
as was evidenced by the sorry specta-
Gle of Feb. % in the house. and the
equally sorry spectacle of yesterday
in the senate.
These are the facts that have been
written in the public records of the
nation. They cannot be altered, con-
cealed or gainsaid. No constitutional
pettifogging can wipe them out.
These are the facts that stamp the
excuses of the 81 senator's for what
they are worth. These are the facts
that kill.

The republicans think they see in
the misfortune that overlook the
Kansas City convention hall the long
sought for opportunity for derisive
comment. The emergency require
ment for raised tiers of seats for the
accommodation of spectators is termed
an indication that the affair is to be
run on the circus order. Unfortu-
nately, however, the most successful
ring master in the country has been
engaged to appear exclusively with
his highly trained troop at Philadel-
Dhia.
