cusing the Mckinley flop on the Porto
Rico tariff and in explaining that
measure get slightly mixed. For ex-
ample, they cite the fact that fifteen
per cent. tariff for Porto Rico is no
burden, being but one-sixth of the
Dingley rate. Then they fortify this
by another argument in which they
prove that the proposed Porto Rican
tariff is actually no burden at all
since it is intended to spend all the
money so raised in improving the con-
dition of the starving people of the
island
Now, if the tariff against the Porto
Ricans is to be no burden on them,
if indeed it is to be levied solely for
the good of the Porto Ricans, why
is a good thing spoiled and the tar
if reduced to Is per cent? Why not
have given the starving islanders the
Dingleyism?
Such bald subterfuge is contempti-
BILE. There was no stronger advocate

American people must not be given
taste of reduced prices for sugar and
tobacco. They might demand more
and then what would become of the
trusts, and where would future Re-

Probably the baldest excuse for the
Porto Rican tariff yet devised is that
which pleads that the money is to be
all given back to the Porto Ricans.

DEFAMING HARRTsOy.

It is noteworthy that every Repub-
lican of note who has dissented or IN
any way opposed the policies of the
administration has been subjected to
bombardment from the mud batteries
OF the administration. Hence it is
entirely probably that ex-President
Harrison will have to Withstand the
same foul and underhand abuse that
has been heaped on Senator Hoar and
other prominent Republicans who
have refused to abandon their Amer
icanism to serve the administrators
political ends. Already the story is
sent out by administration circles that
Mr.. Harrison had Interior, selfish de-
signs in opposing the Porto Rican tar
III and that he is inaugurating an anti
administration split in the Republican
party which shall make him strong
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President.
OF course, those who will believe
this yarn will at once discredit Gen.
Harrison's sincerity, and to spreading
this belief the administration agents
are working. They accuse Mr.. Harri-
son of seeking selfish advantage at
the expense of his party, etc. And
this is only a beginning. There are
several severer degrees to which
blacklisted Republicans are subjected,
which will be applied to Gen. Harrison
if he does not subside or change his
tune.
1t will be interesting to watch the
developments. From being faction
list and a self-seeker it is only short
step for the administration mud slim
gers to accuse Gen. Harrison of being
a traitor"
