A compromise which Is likely to settle
the Porto Rican question to the reason
able satisfaction Of all concerned has been
proposed. The plan Is to pass the bill
providing for tariff amounting to Is per
cent. Of the Dingley rates, the revenue
from which Is to be applied to the needs
of Porto Rico, with the further provision
that the tariff shall cease just as soon as
the legislature of Porto Rico shall devise
some other method Of raising revenue for
the island. This proposition preserves
the principle Of the bill now before the
senate, and at the same time it practical
ly leaves the ultimate decision of the
question with the Porto Rican people
themselves.
