TARIFF AND INTERNAL REVENUE

Puerto Rico tradesmen, We are told,
cannot reconcile themselves TO the
tariff imposition" They went free
trade under the constitution But do
they realize what that would involve
in regard to their own interests?
1t would mean the imposition upon
them, also, OF our entire internal c V
enue system, including the tax on to-
bacco, the stamp taxes and all the rest.
DO the Puerto Rlcans want that? we
are told they do not. In fact, they
have protested against 1t as strongly
as they have asked for free trade.
But they cannot cut and carve the
constitution TO suit their W safe ana
fancy. II the constitution Is extended
to their island, so as to make their tar
If system a part Of ours, it must be cX-
tended in It's entirely, SO as to make
their internal revenue system identical
with ours. Suppose they and their
hotgospeller friends turn their coz
sideration from the tariff for a moment
and fix 1t upon the internal revenue.
They may find therein nutritious food
for thought.-New York Tribune.

PUERTO RICO AND THE TRUSTS

Senator Cullom, Of Illinois plddrrgs-
ed the Senate briefly in support Of the
bill. After discussing the situation in
Puerto Rico, noting especially the APP
preparation for the islands inhab,-
tants, he said:
Some of Il friends on the other
side Of the chamber. because the gov.
eminent first collected this sum from
the Puerto Ricans. put 1t In the treas
ury, and then, under act Of CongrCS,
authorized the President to take it out
and give II back to them. complain and
criticise the performance. If it went
back to the same parties who paid It,
who were in fact, Il part Of the sugar
and tobacco trusts, it would seem u
be a useless performance. The fat
is ii vas paid by a very few persons,
importers connected with the sugar
and tobacco monopolics. One OF the
firms who paid n part of this tax Of
81, 900, 900, Is now suing the United
States to recover the amount paid,
which suit, in my judgment, Is evil
denCe, that those great corporations,
trusts and monopolios, instead Of be-
ing in favor of the proposed tax, are
really opposed to it, and advocate free
trade between Puerto Rico and tho
United States"
