NO FEDERAL TAXATION IN PORTO RICO.

To The Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: An editorial in The World Of August 81,
1901 entitled Porto Rico contains the following;
The position that we should hold Porto
Rico indefinitely as a colony under the iag. but
outside the Constitution. taxed but unrepresented.
is urrepublcan and preposterous."
Am I right in understanding the Democratic
partv as charging the Republican administration
with holding colonies and taxing them with
out representation? Taxed but unrepresented"
sounds dangerously like taxation without rep
resentation" and in T6 that meant that the mother
country taxed her colonies for revenue FOR the
crown. without allowing them voice or vote IN
levyfng those taxes. Have we so far forgotten
those days az to be guilty OF the same tyranny
ourselves? Would The Tribune kindly advise me
through its columns how much revenue the Porto
Ricans have paid into Uncle Sans treasury since
the treaty or Paris?

1870 as follows. referring to the tarin law then
in force:

TRUE CHARACTER OF M. DE PLEHvE.
A Relative Writes That He Was All His
Life the Object of SANDER.

To The Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your paper fer August 4 contains letter
which treats the memory of the late Russian Min
lister OF the Interior N. de Plehve. with certain
degree OF sympathy and absolutely condemns his
assassination In editorial note you reply that
N. de PIehve was ruthless tyrannical and cruel
10 degree seldom a7proximated in modern times
Let me draw your attention to the fact that dur
ing his lifetime NJ dc Plehve was the object
OF numerous ISLANDERS. and that the most incredible
reports were spread about him. Political hntred,
IN this respect did indeed exceed the limits per
mitJed by the ethical ideas OF modern times" Now
that he is dead. is necessary distinguish the
true from the false. Foreign revolutionary Jour-
nails have stated that NJ de Plehve betrayed to the
Russian government a Polish maguats. who had
brought him up and that he almost drove
his own father out of his house So Tar from this
being true II. dc PlehVe brought up in his
family. and afterward his father lived with
him, surrounded by his care. up 10 his very DEATH
at the age OF elghtyhve.
There Is Just as little truth IN the much cam
vassed reports about NJ de PlelIves encouragement
OF the Jewish massacres At hishineff. and about
other alleged OF cruelty on his part Ihe
want or energy in queliug the disturbances shown
by the local authorities. which had such serious
consequences, and led to the dismissal or those
guilty OF IL from their posts, was quite patnIut
enough for the Minister OF the Interior. without
the disEracaful accuse tons which were afterward
brought against him by people who sought
sl3t the truth but attain their ends, even II II
were by means OF SANDER.
