The words 'coasting trade, as dls'
tinguishing TINS class OF vessels seems
to nave been selected because at that
time all the domestic commerce OF the
country was either interior commerce.
or coastwise between ports upon the
Atlantic or Pacihc coasts or upon ISL
ands so near thereto, ana belonging 10
the several states as properly 10 con
sutute part ot the coast. Strlctly
speaking Porto RICO Is not such an
island. as II Is not only situated some
hundreds OF miles from the nearest
port on the Atlantic coast, but mas
never belonged to the United states
or any of the States composing the
Union. At the same time, trade with
. that island Is properly part OF the
? domestic trade Of the country since
? the treaty OF annexation, and Is so rec
/ OgniZed by the Porto RiCan or Foraker
. Act. BY section the Commissioner
? Of Navigation Is required to make
? such regulations as he may
. deem cNpeHent for the naturalization
} OF all vessels owned by the inhabitants
. Of Porto Rico on April II, 1899, &.
! and for the admission Of the same
p to all the benefits OF the coasting trade
=. Of the United states, and the Coastins
l trade between Porto Rico and the
! United States shall be regulated in ac'
l COrdanCe with the provisions of law
. applicable TO such trade between any
| two great coasting districts OF the
United states.
. by this Act it was evidently in.
5 tended not only TO nationalize all
. Porto RiCan vessels as vessels of the
r United States. and to admit them to
the benefits of their coasting trade,
j. but to place Porto Rico substantially
/. upon the coast Of the United States
q and vessels engaged in trade between
y that island and the continent as en-.
n gagged in the coasting trade. This was
u the view taken by the executive Off
v GERS OF tn" Government in issuin/ an
enrolment and license to the Ponce,
to be employed IN carrying on the
coasting trade, instead OF treating her
as vessel engaged in foreign trade
, mat the words 'coasting trade are
not intended TO be strictly limited to
trade between ports in adjoining dis
, tricts is also evident from X, 5. sec.
1893. wherein 1t is enacted that the
:. coastlng traae between the territory
ceded to the United States by the EN-
T. peror Of Russia, anu any other portion
- OF the United states, snail be regu
