may be spent in comfort and safety.

Amazing Prosperity of the Island

than year ago, says the Washington
Post.
Before | went to Porto Rico I was
a protectionists but since l have seen
what protective tariff has done for
that little island, l am more firmly
grounded in my belief that protective
tariff is the mainstay of a country's
prosperity" Mr.. .Cruzen saidthe other
night. IN the United States every
thing in the commercial world is on
such a grand scale that it is impos-
sible to appreciate the effects of the
tariff, but in Porto Rico l have had
an opportunity to study a miniature
country, which has been raised above
all its sister islands by protection.

so materially, but Porto Ricans make
it unpleasant for immigrants. Prac-
ticallN all the people in the island are
proud of being part of the United.
States and look down upon people from
islands which are under the control
of other nations. The increase in
wages came as direct result of the
admission of Porto Rican products to
the United States free of DUTY. All
the money the United States loses in
duties comes back to this countryf for
provisions and supplies of all sorts.
Nearly all the -four. meat. rice and
other provisions used in the island are
brought from the United States. With
the increasein wages, the laborers have
begun to live better, and every wear
Porto Rico will grow to be a greater
consumer of American foodstuffs.
Within the last year there has lyeen
an Increase of 43 per cent. in the ex-
ports from the United States to Porto
