Our of the United States
Colonial has sustained the adj
Policy. ministration colonial
policy.
The opinion was in regard to
what is called the Delima and
Downes eases. The vote stood five
to four, with powerful dissenting
opinions voiced by Chief Justice
Fuller and others. -Four Republi-
cans and one Democrat were for
the administration and two Dem
Gratis and two Republicans against.
The decision was that Porto Rico
was never after the acquisition of
that island foreign territory; that
until Congress acted upon the
question no duty could be collected,
but that as soon as Congress out
lined method of controlling the
islands revenues that action be-
came binding. In other words,
that congress has power under the
Constitution to prescribe the man
ner of collecting the revenues of
the country's insular possessions,
and has the right to lay duty on
goods imported into our insular
possessions from the United States
or exported from them into the
United States. 1t holds, in brief,
that for taxation purposes they are
not part of the United States to
the extent that goods shipped be-
tween their ports and the United
States are entitled to the same
treatment as tho they were shipped
between New York and New Or
leans.
Justice Harlan expresses fears
that the decision may lead to legls-
lativc absolutism. He further says:
I'm my opinion, Congress has no
existence and can exercise no
authority outside of the Constitu-
ton. Still less is it true that Con-
gress can deal with new territories
Just as other nations have done or
may do with their new territories.
"This nation is under the con-
troll of written Constitution
which is the supreme law OF the
land and the only source of the
powers which our Government or
any branch or officer of it may eX-
ercise at any time or ut any place.
1.-THE idea that this country may
acquire territories anywhere upon
the earth by conquest or treaty and
hold them as mere colonies or prov
inces, is wholly inconsistent with
the spirit and genius, as well as
with the words of the constitution.
The following is the revenue
clause of the constitution which
the Supreme Court restricts:
but all duties, imposts and cX-
cises shall be uniform turnout the
United States"
The Supreme court holds that
this section of the constitution
does not apply to acquired terrific
tory.
Attorney Griggs says that under
this decision Congress might even
impose duties upon imports from
the Territory of Alaska.

THE help that the tar
The Tariff, iff gives the trusts,
The says the Kansas City
Trusts. Star, is discussed in
an article in the
Quarterly Journal of Economics
for May by Mr.. Charles Beardsley
friend of combinations. His
sympathy with the consolidation
movement gives the more weight
to his conclusion that the trusts
receive needless aid from Congress
and that the Mckinley tariff act
was directly responsible for the at
tempted formation of many mo-
nopolies. Before that time the
Standard Oil Company was the
chief trust and it existed indepen-
dent of the tariff. But directly af-
ter the passage of the Mckinley
bill attempts We're made to monop-
ollie the production of sugar,
starch, linseed oil, whisky, envel-
opes, tobacco and lead.
Under the existing tariff laws
Mr.. Beardsley finds that the com
bines are receiving needless tribute
from the people. Window glass,
made by trust, is protected by a
duty of &c per cent, and the i'm
portation is valued at IL million
dollars year. America imported
tin plate worth nearly ~ million
dollars last year, while the tariff
protected the trust that makes it,
with duty Of AZ per cent. The
needlessness of this protection is
evident when it is remembered that
