~ Aas.cisfed sre.a

Washington, Dec. 22.-Porto Rico,
through her resident commissioner in
the United States, Mr.. Larrinaga, and
q special commission which came
here for the purpose, is making de-
termined fight for the imposition of a
duty of cents pound on foreign
coffee. By reason OF the fact that
since 1873 coffee has been on the free
list. the Porto Ricans maintain that
their principal industry, now that the
tariff is about to be revised, should ibe
that this would not only increase the
production in this island POSSESSION OF
the United States, but would go far
toward lettering the condition of the

poorer classes who live almost entire
ly on rice. upon which there is duty
of two cents a pound. TIE great bulk
OF the coffee exports of Porto Rico
under present conditions goes abroad,
while practically none of the supply
comes TO the United States.
The imports of coffee into the
United States from Brazil and other
countries, il is said. exceed one billion
pounds and the Porto Ricans who have
made representations TO the Commit
tee on ways and means that their
product is superior but feel that they
have a rightful claim ON the govern
ment to recognition. The present
production in the island is said to he
35,000,0o0 pounds but it is being ar

this would jump to 100000 900 pounds,
