At q sale last week in Chicago OF
-Aberdccn-Angus breeding cattle the
prices broke all previous records.
Scventy-two head brought a general
average of So79 each. This is Il big
price to pay for cattle whose only value
10 the purchaser is found in the i'm
%provenlcnt of common low-grade stock.
The farmers who bought these aristo-
cratic animals will get their money
back many times over in the added
weight and quality of the beef they
will market two or three years from
now. Their animals will not only
weigh more, but they will fetch a high
er price per pound. This improved
grade of beef is certain to find a ready
market. Americans are the best eaters
in the world, because they are the best
paid people in the world. They are the
best paid people in the world because
of the workings of an economic policy
which insures high wages by protect
ing American labor and industry from
the unfair competition of lower. paid
foreign labor. And the resulting condi-
tian affects. among other people, the
American farmer. and enables him to
buy breeding cattle at 1919 per head
Exchange.

RICO PROBLEM
Whether Our Newly Acquired Pos
sessions Are or Arc Not Already In

Under the Constitution.

Keep the real issue in sight, and let
the President and the party be Judged
by that" is the wise conclusion OF Il
very b article in the Seattle Post
lntelligencer on the Porto Rican ques-
ton. obviously this excellent editorial
treatment of Il mucll-discussed subject
Is the product of some knowledge and
some thinking. Unfortunately the
same cannot be said of IL vast volume
of matter that has found it's WAY into
print relative to the Porto Rican topic.
No writer has stated the issue more
clearly or more intelligently than it is
stated by the Post-Intelligencer, thus:
1T is not a question whether we
ought to to mDosa a duty 81 g Pc.
cent. or n of 10 per cent. or none ut
all upon commerce between that island
and the United States. 1t is whether
this Government has constitutional
power to levy such n tax under any cir
cumstanccs; whether Porto Rico is ter
rltory to be governed as all other terri
tory added has been, by the disposition
OF Congress, or whether it's people ac-
CURED, by the treaty of Paris, consti-
tutional rights within the United
States that compel recognition by us
and leave us no chance but to acknowl-
edge the new possessions as an integral
part of the nation under the Constitu-
ton, and finally to admit them as
States"
Rightly the Observation-Disclosures insists
that the contest is not waged OH the
question whether Porto Isican trade
should be free or untaNed. The oppo-
sition to the pending bill is based upon
no such consideration. 1t cares Moth
Ing about the question either of tariff
Or Of revenue. Engineered by clever
free trade and anti-imperialist strate-
gists, the movement. intended solely to
put the administration in Il liole,' has
secured the adhesion of n considerable
number of Republicans who seem to be
unable to discover the use that is being
made of them. They are apparently
blind to the fact, SO clearly pointed out
by the Post-Intelligenccr. that
"The constitutional question is the
real bone of contention. The Rcpubli-
can party cannot abandon it's position
upon that without reversing all our
%precedents and destroying the practi-
cal possibility of building up a mighty
commerce in the far East by exchang-
ing for the open door in the Philippines
the open door in the vast portion of
Asia under European control.
we believe that those who have diff
fered honestly from the party's policy
in this particular will agree with it
when they come to see what is in
volved; and how cunningly the advo-
Gates Of retirement from the Philip
pines have sought to make that neces-
sary by a pretended fight over the
Pos$o Rican tariff"
If only the army Of ~dissenters from
the policy of the Republican admins
tration and the Republican party could
ONCE grasp the idea that a much bigger
and more ,portcntous question than
that of % per cent. Is per cent, or no
tariff at all is involved in the Porto
Rican proposition, it would nightly
help to clear up the situation.-Amcri-

Why He Failed to Score.

Bryan says lie cannot explain the fact
that in cities where he addressed the
largest audiences i'll 1896 lie received
the smallest vote in proportion to til.
number voting. Wherever Bryan
spoke lie virtually proposed to pay OF.
wage earners in 50-cent silver dollars.
Wherever Mckinley spoke lie never
failed to tell the people of the vast i'm
poltance of work and wages for every
American who needs IL job. And 1t
wouldn't surprise some people to be
told that these little statements might
account for quite a large proportion of
the result at the polls.
