The Porto Rican Tariff.

There is renewed discussion over the cues
ton of the Constitutionaity of the Porto
Rican tariff. The Supreme Court will soon
say the conclusive word upon the issue
But meanwhile protest may reasonably be
entered against discussion of the principle
Involved in this legislation as if it were
something novel and startling, never before
asserted in American history.
Criticism Of this law usually follows the
reasoning of the Kansas City platform
which says:
The Porto Rican tariff law asserts the
doctrine that the operation of the Consti-
tuition is confined to the forty-fve states.
The democratic party disputes this doc
trine and denounCes it repugnant to
both the letter and spirit of our organic
law.
The real contention of the Porto Rican
tariff law is that the words United States
employed in certain sections of the Con-
stttution include only the United States
which compose the Union. the governing
entity and not the territories and that
Porto Rico is not a state that II should be
Included III the term United States
The Constitution provides that "all duties
shall be uniform throughout the United
States and that no preference shall be
given by any regulation of commerce or
revenue to the ports of one state over those
of another" The intent OF the Constitu-
ton in both provisions Is clearly to pre-
vent discriminating favoritism to the ad-
vantage of one state or states and to the
disadvantage of the others.
These provisions were not held to apply
TO Louisiana at the time OF its annexation.
Senator Tracy in the debate of November.
1893, over the bill to provide for payments
to carry into effect the Louisiana treaty
said
The seventh article admits for twelve
years the ships of France and Spain into
the coded territory free of foreign duty
This Is giving commercial preference to
those ports over the other ports of the
United States: because II is we'll known
that duty of A cents on tonnage, and IL
per cent on duties are paid by all foreign
ships or vessels in all the ports of the
United States. II it be said we must re-
peal those laws and then the preference
will cease. the answer is that this seventh
article gives the exclusive right OF enter
ing the ports of Louisiana to the ships o;
France and Spain and II our discriminating
duties We're repealed this day, the prefer
ence would be given TO the ports of the
United States against those of louisa ma
80 that the preference by any regulation
OF commerce or revenue which the Consti.
tuition expressly torbids from being given
TO the ports of one state over those OF an
other would be given by this treaty in vio-
latton OF the Constitution"

Our Phenomenal Exports.

Although in general way it Is fairly
well understood that this country is engaged
just at present In an enormous export BUSH
ness, selling goods of all kinds to the rest
of the world in vast volume, yet 1t may be
questioned whether a full appreciation of
the case has yet obtained in all quarters
Tho figures of our export trade have grown
to almost ungraspable size. Whereas once
1t was possible to compute the annual sta
tistics in terms of seven, and sometimes
eight figures, now the years total of ship
ments of goods into foreign markets re-
qulres ten figures for statement Even In
this day of gigantic fortunes and tremen-
deus trade transactions. the full meaning
of this change in numerals Is difficult to
realize. October's exports broke all records,
reaching the total of sl63 ,093, 59I or nearly
SSoOoO,0o0 more than the highest previous
raC nth. March of this year. Compared with
the export records of six years ago the dif-
ference is phenomenal. showing an Increase
Of fully one hundred per cent. The total

lit Is a territory" he said, purchased by
the United States in their confederate ca
pacity and may be disposed of by them at
pleasure. 1t is in the nature of a colony
whose commerce may be regulated without
any reference to the Constitution
A provision similar to the seventh of the
Louisiana treaty is found in the treaty of
Paris:
Article ". The United States will for
ten years from the date of exchange OF
notifications of the present treaty. admit
Spar ish ships and merchandise to the ports

States.'

this section included. Either this provision
is unconstitutional or the Philippines are
outside of the United States, i. e., the states
constituting the Union.
Hawaii was annexed in 1898 and imme-
diately, according to democratic theory, be-
came an integral part of the United States
throughout which uniformity of duties must
constitutionally prevail. Yet the Dinsley
act setting forth the duties in the United
States, which the Constitution required to
be uniformly applied in Hawaii, if a part
of the Union, was not extended at all to
the islands until the legislation of April,
1900. For nearly two years the Constltu-
ton was violated, according to the demo-
cratic theory, in Hawaii and the outrage
seems to have attracted no attention what
soever.
Whether the Porto Rican- tariff be consti-
tutiona or unconstitutional it is no novelty
in principle; and a decision that it is con-
stitutonal would not demonstrate that 1t
was wise polite, since its enactment was
unnecessary to establish a precedent of con-
gressional authority and disappointed the
reasonable expectations of the Porto
Rlcans.
The sooner uniformity of duties between
the United States and Porto Rico is brought
about the better for both parties. In re-
spect to the Philippines on the contrary uni
formity of duties would be disastrous, and
it is to be hoped with the welfare both of
the United States and the Philippines in
View that the power asserted by the Porto
Rican legislation will be sustained as con-
stitutonal by the Supreme Court.

New York and Chicago.

The country is just now afforded an I'M
usual opportunity to observe the efforts OF
the decent residents of two great American
cities to force their respective officials to
walk in the path of rectitude. The anti
vice Crusades in New York and Chicago,
although in different stages of development,
furnish this instructive object lesson. In
New York the new movement seems to
have progressed satisfactorily thus far.
The Big Boss is on the ocean. His lieu
tenants have been instructed to hustle the
evil-doers out of sight and, if necessary, be-
hind bars. The reformers know that the
great political machine which has openly
fostered the vicious elements of the city
has been demoraHzed by the recent cleo
ton and is willing now to make a record
for decency. There is an excellent pros
pect that for a time at least 1t will be
possible for the visitor to New York and
the resident to walk the streets without
being affronted at every turn by the evil
dences of an utterly degenerate administra-
ton and by immortality of all forms fostered
by compaisant police.
In Chicago, however, the prospect is not
SO encouraging. The streets are unutter-
ably vile after dark. The thieves ana
thugs and vicious characters ply their
trades without molestation. Last Satur-
day Mayor Harrison, in response to an
ever-groWing demand that he take action
to reduce these evils, ordered all saloons
in certain notorious district closed after
midnight. In two hours he had rescinded
the order, fierce was the pressure APP
piled to him by the friends of the vicious
classes, politicians who make large for
tunes through their pulls with both the
city government and the city's disreputa-
bles.
There is hope for New York today. 1t de-
ponds upon the reputable classes of Chit
cago. who are probably in the majority. to
determine whether there shall be hope for
that city well. If they do not rise to
the emergency created by the connivance
of professional politicians and office holders
with the dissolute thousands of the west
ern metropolis, Chicago will soon be known
as the wckedest city on this continent. a
reputation to be dreaded by every honest

The Farmers and the OleO Frauds.

The attitude of the farmers of this coun-
try toward the oleomargarine and other
food frauds is well indicated by the senti-
ments expressed at the meetings of the
National Grange. now in session in this
city. 1t appears from the reports of these
proceedings that the members of the order
take intelligent interest in the subject
and fighting the frauds at every turn
with all their power. The grange CONVEX
ton has disclosed trick of the oeo trade
which, while perhaps not new, is never
theless suggestive of the need of further
amendment of the federal and state laws.
a trick tin package has been adopted by
the oiro manufacturers for the export
trade. 1t has a double cover, the upper
one of which is stamped plainly with Il
word to indicate that the contents are nor
genuine butter. The side of the package
is stamped with some such phrase as
strictly pure. When the filled package
has passed the internal revenue inspection
the outside lid is removed-perhaps to be
shipped back to the factory and used over
again-and there appears another cover
bearing the stamped word butter" This
package goes abroad and its contents are
sold as American butter When the fraud
is disclosed, it inevitably must be IN
season, consumers and dealers alike are
filled with Indignation against the entire
American creamery trade and the market
for even the purest butter from these
shores is destroyed. The problem of fight
ing the oeo fraud is hard enough to solva

foreign market closed to the products of
the dairy through the wiles of the imita-
ton butter makers

An American community sinks to the level
of Dahomey in the mob torture inflicted
on the wretehed and guilty criminal burned
alive at Limon. Terrible as was the provo
cation, it is no excuse for this brute viola
ton Of law. The elaboration of the mob,
its savage cruelty and the supine authori-
like these lead by sure steps to the reign
of violence and the rule of the mob in all
cases and causes. They do not suppress
crime and they destroy order and respect
