Porto Rico's Infant.

It doesn't take long for the Porto Ricans
to be eager for all the blessings of Amer
lean rule. Having tasted the advantages
of protection for their sugar industry,
they are now clamoring for a protective
duty on coffee. Before Porto Rico was
annexed, coffee was free because none
was grown in the United States or was
likely to be. But the annexation Of
the island gave us another infant indus
try to look after, and the Porto Ricans
logically argue that If Louisiana sugar
when the nation had to rely almost en-
tirely upon foreign supplies and the Texas
and Louisiana rice planters were the re-
cipients of protection when the United
States had to look abroad for the bulk
of it's requirements of that product, it
is not too much for Porto Rico to ask for
protection for it's struggling coffee in
dustry.
The argument is logical, no doubt, but
the American people are no longer easy
marks for infant industries. It is just
as reasonable to tax everybody for the
for the benefit of American rice and sugar
planters; but this time we will be unrea-
sonable and avoid an increase in the
burden of taxa ton. Therefore, there is
little hope that the Chamber Of Com
MERGE of Ponce will ever see its petition
answered by tariff on coffee. The in
sular government might be justified, In
view of the hardships worked to the cof-
fee industry Of Porto Rico by the great
hurricane of two or three years ago, and
the difficulty of cultivating a taste for
Porto Rico coffee among the Americans,
in voting the planters bounty of some
sort; but congress will hardly dare to
add anything to the tariff schedules at
this time The Ponce people complain
that their harbor needs improvement, and
that, on account of the exclusion of for
eign vessels from the American Porto
Rican trade, a monopoly Of 1t Is enjoyed
| by the two American lines, with conse-
quent high freight rates.
! When railway lines are. built thru the
| island the harbors improved. and com
munication with the United States fac1l-
itated and cheapened, the coffee growers
of Porto Rico, so near to the American
! market, ought to be able to compete sue
cessfully with other growers. If not, lei
them abandon coffee and turn their at.
tention to sugar and other tropical prod
nets that are subject to tariff taxation.
