MADE AN ASSAULT.
Alya Warmer attempts to Shoot Sher-
man Tenant near Mooresville.

Alva Tenant has been fined TWEEN
ty-tive dollars and put under bond
of two hundred dollars to keep the
peace for an assault on Sherman Ten
nant near Mooresville. Warner had a
grudge against Tenant and went to
the boiler house where Tenant was
employed TO settle it.
He pulled gun on the latter and
made threatening remarks. Tenant
rushed at him and took the gun away
from him. Warner was then arrested
and taken before Squire G. S. Ten
nant. The trouble is said to have
grown out of a family scrap OF some
kind. Warner is about sixteen years
of age. Tenant is few years older.

The Proposed HOri-
zOntal Cut In
The Tariff.

For some time the news that rea-
ched us of the dOings in Congress in
reference to providing free trade bet
ween Puerto Rico and the United
States was very encouraging and
prospects locked bright. Prominent
men of each party, both in the Se-
nate and in the House of Represen-
tatives expressed themselves strong
ly in favor of the measure, notably
those Congressman who had visited
this Island and had an opportunity
to study the situation for themselves
at close range. In the House, the
Chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means introduced a ca
refully prepared bill, evidently the
result of deliberation and cOnsulta-
tion with his colleagues, and had it
referred to his Committee for action.
Similar action was taken in the
Senate. Free trade seemed assured
and our people felt that it was only
a question of time when the markets
of the United States would be freely
opened to our products, and revi-
val of commerce, industry and agri-
culture result.
But the scene appears to have
changed. Certain industries became
unduly and mistakenly alarmed. The
tobacco raisers of New England and
the sugar producers of the West and
Louisiana at once hurried their re-
presentatlves to Washington and
every imaginable form of influence
was brought to bear upon the Com
mittees and upon individual mem.
Lers of both Houses, entreating them
to avert what they claimed would be
the ruin of the tobacco and sugar
interest of the country.
In vain it was demonstrated to
the Connecticut tobacco men that
Puerto Rican tobacco would not
come in competition with their wrap
per tobacco, but that on the contra
ry would, as valuable filler form
adesirable complement to their pro.
duet and mutual advantage ensue.
In vain the sugar men we're given sta.
tisties showing that the entire output
of Puerto Rican sugar was a mere
drop in the bucket compared With
the total consumption of sugar in
the United States.
Historically and franticalIy they
reiterated their cry of ruin" with
the result that they seem 10 have
forced the committees to adopt the
compromise of horizontal cut to
% 90 Of the present tariff rate on
all articles.
This will probably satisfy nobody.
Certainly, it is disappointing and
discoursging TO the people of Puerto
Rico. They had hoped and with
reason that Congress after seyering
the lsland's connection with Spain,
would recognize its right to be con-
siderea part and parcel of the Uni
ted States.
The principle is involved. If one
Congress can impose duty of % OI0
Of the regular tariff the next may
restore the full duty, and everything
remains in an unsettled state.
Fortunately, however. the matter
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-02-03

is not yet settled and we still have
confident hopes that the wise and
just representatives of the great
American people in Congress will
yet lise to the full sense of their
duty and will give Puerto Rico the
means of raising from its present
distress.
