BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-03-23

Puerto Rico had to established the
principle that the United States
could maintain tariff taxes between
ports in the limits of the United
States proper and ports in the col
Onies. 1t was urged that this prin-
ciple should be made the foundation
Of the Puerto Rican bill, so as to
invite a judicial determination by
the Supreme Court of the powers of
Congress and have all doubt on that
point cleared up before attempting
to legislate for the Philippines.
This argument influenced many,
members who had not been swayed
by the appeals of special interests,
and it was probably more powerful
than any other consideration in brin.
ging about the change of font on
the part of republicans.
Throughout the DEBATES the op-
pOnents of the bill have been ridicul-
ing the contention of the republicans
that one reason for imposing the
imposing the duty was to raise re-
venue for the island of Puerto Rico.
NOtwiths tanding this it was reason
that has had great weight with many
on the republican side, and has Sc
cured scores OF totes for The b IL.
Republican leaders have been con-
frOnted with the necessity of doing
someting without delay to afford
means to defray the expenses OF
governing our island, constructing
roads and building schOOlhouses and
TO that purpose they introduced the
appropriation bill, which is now abO-
ut to pass.

Influences That Ha-
We Defeated Free
Trade bill Up
To The Present.

Free trade between the United
States and Puerto Rico, which
President Nc Kinley declared to be
the plain duty of the Government to
give, has been prevented by the
combination of a great variety Of
influences.
When the President made his re-
commentator IN his annual mes
sage there was not a leader in the
republican party who did not ap-
plaud him. liz was taken as a mat.
ter ef course that there was to be
free trade. and no one in Congress
dreamed that tariff taxes would be
lmpostd up ne commerce of our
struggling island unlii IL was cabled
to the BoLk1IN MERCANTL that
the Commit ee on v ays and Means
ut tae House mad reported its taritt
bill.
Tins movement against free trade
was fl st brought luIO notice by the
note of alarla sounded by the tObac-
co grove IF Connecticut and the
can6 and eeet sugar planters of Lo-
uisiania aud the Middle Western
States. Their Ontery excited little
more Ihan amusement IN Congress
vt first Tor il was well understood
that the sugar and tobscco produc-
tion of our lslaLd was so limited that
It could not aff, CT prices in the Uni
ted States. Tue answer of Repres-
entative l'ayue to their protests was
The introduction of his free trade
bil
Sugar aud tobacco men did not
stand al.ne long. They declared
taey we're net afraid of free trade
with Puerto Rico but if the Payne
bill should be enacted into Law it
,cOuld be an entering wedge that
would be followed by free trade
with tile Philippines and then with
Cuba, and the whole fabric of the
protective tariff would crumble. They
worked on the fruit growers Of Flo
rlda and California aud soon had
them organized against the bill.
The cigar Makers Union was bro
ught in 10y the fear that the reno.
val Of the duties on Puerto RIcau
cigars would enable the cigars ma
kers Of our Island to secure small
fraction OF tire patronage Of the slnO-
kers Of the United States and they
Influenced other labOr organizations
against the Dill.
The most effective influence aga
inst tree trade was that Of the Pro.
tecIiye raritf League, whibh rea-
ches out through the various pro-
tected interests Of the country into
almost every ns'ghbOrhoOd Of the
United States.
Every prominent republican in
Congress began to receive cOmmun'
ication from lnen who had Ceen &C
tive in is tuppprt and bad contribu
tsd.to Is c1mp paigo fund, urging him
to stand by the protective princl
Iple.

I'VE expect to have our church debt en-
tirely wiped out before the beginning OF
the twentieth century, said Rev. F. B.
Cowgirl, of the First Methodist church,
lats evening I'VE have just made pay
ment of $500, and expect to make two
other payments during the balance of the
current year
THE debt amounted to $4,000, and has
been with US for about twelve years. Just
after DR.. Smith left the First church to
organize the Peoples church, extensive
repairs were made in the building, which,
together with small floating indebted
ness and interest account brought the
amount to the sum named.
"A payment of $1,000 was made last
July, and we have pledges sufficient to
give a clean sheet after the first of the
year.
