There is more Catarrh in this section or
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years wac
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced il local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

constitutional cure on the market. 1t is

THE PRESIDENT Is In
HARMONY WITH CONGRESS
His Desire for Free Trade With
Puerto Rico simply Intended for
the Relief of the Islands.

WASHINGTON, March S--A member of
the cabinet tonight gave out the following
authoritative statement:
There has been wide misappcsnension
Of the Puerto Rican tariff bill Of the at
titude OF the president. OF the action OF
congress and OF their relations to each
other The criticism and the concern
which have come from some well-mean-
ing quarters are due almost entirely to a
misunderstanding Of the real facts
The attempt 10 represent that there he's
been a disagreement between the presi-
dent and congress is wholly urfounde5.
There has been no essential difference be-
tween them. Both have sought the same
object. The recommendation Of the Vresi-
dent and the house bin in their purpose
and effect amount to the same thing. As
a consequence each rightly sustafns the
other.
'The president in his annual message OF
December 4. urged that the customs duty
on trode between Puerto Rico and the Unit
ed States be removed. Imports from Puerto
Rico into the United States have oeeu and
are now paying the Dingley rates. The
president felt that Puerto Rico should be
relieved Of this burden. He urged that II
should be removed. not as a matter of
legal right. but Of liberal and humane pub
lie policy.
His argument indicated his reasons and
suggested his view as to the question ot
constitutional obligation. Puerto Rico,
severed from Spain, had lost her old mar
kets and had gained none in their pllce.
she had been devasted by hurricane and
left destitute Humanity dictated every
effort to lift her up and to give her a
new market This was the presidents plan.
and what need OF such a plea IL The con-
stitution Of itself carried free trade to
Puerto Rico? In that case free trade goes
to her whether right or not
what the president proposed was that
the United States should offer the largest
and most generous measure OF help to the
distressed and suffering island and he has
never wavered a single instant In the OBJ
ject he sought.
"The partisans who sought to put the
president and congress in hole. have. per-
haps. unconsciousiy dug a pit for them
selves. They viii find that they have taken
a position which would estop them from
carrying out the policy that I have pro-
posed for the disposition Of the Philippines.
But as do not now wish TO discuss the
matter in it's hroadest aspect or to treat
II In a partisan spirit I do not pursue the
point. 1t is enough for the present to say
that our contention that the constitution
does not by its own force extend over the
new possessions. without legislative sction.
IL in harmony with the general tenor Of
judicial decision and legislative action
from the acquisition OF Louisiana down to
this time"
