BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1907-01-29
EDITORIAL

We propose to make some com
ments on statements relating to the
commerce of Porto Rico, contained in
a misleading pamphlet issued by the
Collector of Customs.
From the fact Mr.. Post is concer-
ned in the matter, it will not seem
strange to our readers that the pam
phlet in question involves a new of
fence, prejudicial to the interests of
the country, against to which are
sustained absurd and extravagant
theories which we wish to refute.
Some Of the statements contained
in this document are truly extraordi-
nary.
1t undertakes the impossible de-
nstration that coffee is not the
chief source of the wealth of Porto
Rico, and this fact is disputed by
funtionaries of the government, who
receive their salaries from the trea-
sury of Porto Rico, as we'll as the
right of Porto r leo to have it's coffee
protected to the same extent as all
American products are protected
here by the existing tariff and which,
as consequence. find in the colony
an increasing and sure market.
The document under consideration
states among other things the foil
ing: Sugar is now the principal,
product Of the Island owing to the
protection which it has in the Gus
toms tariff.
In other words, the sure, infallible
the eficacious means of securing
market and converting a secondary
product into a principal product, is
one which We all recognize-includ-
ing the author Of the report in the
customs pamphlet-to be the aid
given to products by tariff protection
Sugar is now the principal pro
duct. And at the cost Of what great
losses, Of what harsh dramas of mi
sery and at the expense Of what ruin
and desolation
There would be some consolation
for US in the development Of the ST.
gar industry, if the former lmportan-
ce Of coffee had been preserved,
