The Logic of LargeSSeS.

\ report on commercial relations
of the United States and Porto Rico,
Just issued, indicates that a remark
able commercial impeachment is
taking place between continental
United States and this minor Pearl
of the Antilles. Briefly. it is shown
that the island is doing most of its
buying in the United States, and
most of its selling in the United
States, and that the trade is profit
able to both. Porto Rico. which was
in a state of lamentable depression
for some time after the Spanish
war, is prosperous and progressive.
The same, in general. is true of
Hawaii. Why? Because Porto Rico
and Hawaii have been given free
access TO American markets. The
privilege has been reciproeally bene-
fetal. Uncle Sam has given much
TO Porto Rico-he has given better
government, better schools. better
credit; but, more than all else. he
has given il a chance.
In the Philippines we have given
better administration, proXimate
peace, a real school system, credit
for railroad development, the ser
vices of an army and navy-every-
thing except a chance. The Philip
pine tariff bill sleeps in the Senate
committee. That bill aims to do
Tor the Philippines approximately
what has already been done with
such excellent results for Porto
Rico.

Porto Rico's trade With the United

1887, the year of annexation. to $4,000. 600
in the last year. according To a bulletin
prepared by the Bureau OF Statistics of

Of Statistics, is of especial interest be-

The general trade of the island also
shows a large increase the total value
of merchandise passing in and out of
the island in 1886 is practically twice
as great as that of any year before the

growth Is attributed to production of

industry Then the s-lf-same men
turn around ana demand a shipping
subsidy in order to develop trade
between those islands and the
United States! Was ever reasoning
more unreasonable?
There is a cry for extension of our
trade with the tropics. Very well.
We own quite a slice of the tropics,
and ought to take special interest in
that slice. We ought to prefer trade
with our own colonies to trade with
foreigners. But, what are we doing ?
Crying out for trade with the
tropics, and barring out our own colo
pies; denying them a fair chance,
and ourselves profitable trade. We
are giving the Philippines far less
than Spain gave them, in the com
mercial sense.
These high tariff ship subsidy peo-
pie hold out subsidy with one
hand To encourage trade, and with
the other hand erect a barrier
against it. Porto Rico has proved
how 10 get trade. What fair treat
ment has done there il would do on
immensely larger scale in the Phil
ippines. But fair treatment is not
the speciality of your high Protec-
zionist. He simply can't conceive of
giving commerce a chance 10 develop
in its own way. He must be ever
lastingly mixing up government lar
gesses with il. The manufacturer
must be protected TO keep out the
PHILIPPINES productions, and then
the shipowner must be subsidized to
get in the Philippines products!
