IT WOULD AFFECT LABOR.
Senator Hanna Says Free Trade with Porto
Rico Would Alarm the WOrkingmen
of the United States.

Washington, March ia canvass
of the senate indicates that the Porto
Rico tariff bill viii pass. Neverthe-
less, it is regarded as best to postpone
the test until public sentiment in
some parts of the country undergoes
the change republicans expect with
further consideration and better I'M
derstanding of the measure.
Senator Hanna says that the impo-
sition of tariff of Is per cent. of
the Dingley rates upon the products
of Porto Rico will never be felt by
the people of the island; that it will
not restrict their trade. He predicts
that very soon after the bill is passed
all of the excitement and opposition
to it will die out. But, the senator
continues, if entire freedom of trade
should be conferred upon the island,
the labor of the United States would
be alarmed by the fear that the Porto
Rican act was precedent for treat
ment of the Philippines. This alarm,
no matter whether just or not, would
spread and would grow throughout
the campaign. 1t would furnish the
basis upon which democrats would in
sist that freedom of trade must fol-
low for the Philippines. It would af-
feet hundreds of thousands Of labor
