natural attractions this state rivals
New Hampshire, yet the latter gets
the lions share of the summer visitors

are alive and advertise the beauties of
of the granite hills.

mer visitors they have invested &c.,

forms of accommodation and they
entertain 1884,, 2S0 persons from out

PROCTOR ON PORTO RICO.
senator From Vermont Delivers n
Speech UNFOLDING Free Trade.

Washington, March 31.--Notice was
given in the senate by Mr.. Dcpew On. "
that he would address the senate on Mon
day next on the Porto Rican bill. Mr.
Spooncr gave notice THAT he would ad
dress the senate next Monday on the
Porto Rico bill.
Consideration of the Porto Rico bill
was resumed at the conclusion of the
routine business. Mr.. Proctor (Nt.) ad-
dressing the senate.
In opening his speech Mr.. Proctor eX-
pressed his approval of the civil govern
mcnt feature of the pending bill and his
regret on account of the tariff provision
that he could not vote for it. He review
ed briefly the history of the proposed
Porto Rican tariff. quoting the president
in his annual message and the secretary
of war in his annual report as favoring
free trade between the island of Porto
Rico and the United States. Then he re-
ferred to the sudden change that some
how had been wrought and said:
us il strange that some of us, in lack
of an official statement or apparent rea-
son for this sudden shift, should be slow
to give up Il line of action which we be
licve TO be based on principle and jus
tice, which we believe to be the only hon
est and consistent course? 1t is charged
do not know with what TRUTH if any,
that this change was demanded and
brought about by the sugar and tobacco
interests. and also. it is stated, by organ
lied labor.
II, however. have failed to see that
the representatives Of this latter inter-
est appeared before the committees If
is practically admitted that free trade
with Porto Rico does not harm these in
tcrests materially.~ but they claim that it
creates precedent that may harm them
if adopted in reference to the Philippines
and Cuba. 1t will be time to cross those
rivers when we come to them. and, in my
opinion. the crossing will not be difficult
when the proper time comes for action
"'Ihe people," continued Mr.. Proctor.
'i"ok upon this as Il matter of principle.
question of good faith and common
honesty. and their moral sense has been
shocked and the national heart and CON
science stirred by the fear that this
measure of taxation will be adopted by
congress. The people believe as the
president did when he wrote in his an.
nual message that our plain duty is to
abolish the customs tariff between the
United States and Porto Rico The
people know that sentence by heart. and
they will repeat ii millions of times with
III the year from its deliverance unless
we perform what the president SAYS is
our plain duty The people believe that
this is question not of mere policy. but
of principle"
