Let our readers peruse the letter
lof Mr. Taft to Mr.. Gompers and
mediate upon its brief contents.
1t would not be possible to pro lain
greater injustice in fewer wor o.
In it is the latest cruelty of tnat
unheard of blockade which the colon
ization of expansionism has brought
upon as.
Our protests were heard when it
was said that our laborers could obtain
employment in Panama. thus mitigat
ling the gravity Of the labor crisis
here. s- 2bice soiq2 soiq.t
We were unable to see any advat
age to the Porto Rican laborers III
such a proposition, nor did emigr-
alton, which would make an apprec-
liable breach in the ranks Of our work
|ingmen, seem wise.
Our countrymen had nothing to
gain by going to Pauama. There
they would be exposed to various
dangers, encounterjng fever with its
contagion, death lying in ambush,
and the unhappiness awaiting emigr
ants in strange and uncongenial,
land, the inexorahle hardships which
fall to the lot of the unfortunate.
1t would be a REPETITION of the
cries of anguish which are heard from
Hawaii; from those frs: emigrants
who fed from the misery and wretc-
hedness following il the wake of the
invasion.
And with those groans of anguish
continually sounding in our ears
hearing their incessant clamors to re
turn to their native land, we cannot
remain silent and Indifferent when d
new emigration is spoken Of, nor re-
frain from pointing out the undesira
bility and danger of such course.
The Porto Rican laborers ought to be
able to obtain. as in former times,
abundant work in their own country.
All that is necessary for the return
prosperity to our lands, for the re
appearance of the former wealth of
our coffee plantations, is the recti6ca
tion of a great injustice, 1t is only a
question of doing that.
1t was necessary to resist, to defend
others from the collective death. the
general suicide suffered by the FIRST of
the emigrants.
It was better to endure the umpro-
ductive lands, trusting that the day
would dawn when justice would BE-
done, when there rectl6cation and ho-
nora Bile restitution.
That we said, tn 1t we advised. The
emigration dod not take place.

EDITORIAL

Coffe was here the symbol of econo-
mic independence. 1t was necessary
to defend it.
As if an illegitimste plan of absorp-
ton had been devised to deprive as
of our own resources, in order that we
would have to depend on an insignifi-
cant foreign trade, on the muni6cent
charity of the mother country; it was
necessary to defend the coffee indus
| try so uniustly sssailed. abandoned to
indifference and subject 20 the injury
of false free trade; it was necessary
to defend that source Of wealth so at,
tackled, so prosecuted, that grain whjc.
is such an essential and inseperable
part Of the personality Of Porto Rico,
because it guarantees the economic in
dependence and sovereign life with its
own and natural resources
Some one with the idea of bettering
the labor conditions here. of finding
remedy for the workmen's cri-
sis, asked the President of the Canal
Comission if work could be given on
the isthmus to number OF Porto
Rican laborers.
The reply of Mr. Taft was laconic
and expressive and of implacable
6rmness
He speaks of the Porto Ricans as
if they were pests, afflicted with con-
tagious diseases against whom it is ne
cessary to place an iInpregnable qua
rantine.
Were are treated with more disre-
gard than that sometimes shown by
the rich to poor relations.
We are not even allowed to eat in
the kitchen.
Fever broke out in Panama, frigh-
tening a way legions of workmen. twas
like forerunner of definite failure,
as an announcement of ruin, as NAL
ediction, a punishment. AS result
of that epidemic thousands of laborers
were lost, and the fever was carried to
the continent, it broke out in New Or
leans in spite of the unheard of pre-
cautions that were taken to prevent
its appearance; and in the face of that.
Mr.. Taft displays absurd fears of
contagion from anemia, of aenemia
which is only caused by hunger
Perhaps some day will see the COM
pletion of the work whose efforts so
far have been marked with disaster.
That day will BE- glorious one for
the United States, but It's brilliancy
will be dimned bv the recollection of
the letter of Mr.. Taft, which is tant-
amount to declaration Of the compli
city of the government il the drama
| of our misery.
