The Puerto Rlcan Question. Only Inat Summer the Governor of Iuerlu Rloo aent a report to Waahina tpB thnt the Puerto Itleana muat have free trade with the 1'nlted Statpa. He anld that, under the present system their condition wna worae than when und, r Spnnlsh rule, nnd that tbarafoN hp petitioned for frpp trndp. The 8ec-reinry-ilenprnl mndp a rpport. In which he anld thnt th conaldprnllona of Jua tlce required thnl we give them fie. t mile, nnd the Prealdi nt anid it was our "plain duty" to give the Puerto Itleana free trade, and Mr. Jonea. chairman of the way, nnd mcana committee In the Hmise. Introduced a bill giving free trntfe t the Puerto Itleana. It looked like tin v were actii mi) going in ,1,, aomethlng good. Uul the liusts demanded a tariff be tween this country ami Pueri,, Id,,,, and they wen sullb iently powerful to compel the chairman of the waya and means cmmlltec to Introduce a bill dl rectly oontradlotory to the one flrat proposed. They had pnwi r to allenci the piiifui aaa ttoaaaui piaadlaca of ihe people ,,f Puert,, Kico; they hnd power to override the demnnda of the Oovamor of Puerto RiOOj they hnd POWer thnt .was greater than the plain duty" of Ci ngreas. us hihiiiI bv the riealdent, nnd now we have through Congreaa n bill providing for n tnrlft between this country nnd Puerto Ulco, and they cnmpelled every It, pub lican member of Cnngresa to aupporl thnt hill, except n brave few, nnd now you men whn talk about "ur boBOVO tanoa in the deallngi with otbat na- tlona you people who tnlk nbout the blessings of a frpp government you I pla Who boast Hint the ling means tin same everywhere, will hnve to gel "ii a plat form that tears (he Mag away from the Oonatitntion and phvoat thi Puerto Itleana at the merry of the trusts of this country. Why. that change was so sudden that some of the newspapers hnve not been able yet to turn. I would like to tell you how bad thnl Iuerto Hlcnn hill la, I WoaJd like to do It, hut language fulls me. and I don't know how 1 can ex plain the Infamous churncter of that bill any belter than by explaining that the bill Is so bud that the Oregonlnt, won't aupporl It. Republican! Swallow It. And yet, you Hepubllcana, many of you, will swallow It down, und you will be like u party that was on a hunting expedition. They agreed that they would tuke tuniH In cooking, and that any one who complained of the c, ink ing would have lo take his turn next, und (o each man waa careful not to complain, one morning they had aome very tough Hieuk. and one of the fel low a aald: "This la the very toughest aleak that I ever aaw ; but thut'a the Way I like It." You Hepubllcana might as well get youraelvea ready to Hop, for Mr. llatina aaya they have votea enough In the Senate to paaa It, ami whatever Mr. Hanna aaya goea, in the Rapublioan party. 1 want tu tat yuu lb publicans the difference between )nur party now and in the '6ua. In lsfiti the Hepuhllcun Na tional platform contained a plank In viting all the people of the country to Join the Hepubllcaii purty In carrying ihe Government back to the principles of Waalunglon and Jefferaon. Hepubll runs, what do you think of Jefferaon now '.' Why, then you Invoked hia aamOj now you cull him an old dema gogue. Your platform of 16 denounced the highwayman a plea that might makea light, and aaid It waa unworthy i.f ihe diplomacy of any nation, and yet your imperiullam in baaed upon nn doctrine thai BtlgJM mukea right. In (iH Lincoln wrote a letter lo the Republican! who had met to oalebrali .he biuhday uf Jefferaon, far tba Re publicans then celebrated the birthday uf Thomaa Jefferaon They celebrau ihe birth of Hamlltun now, whu waa Jefferaun'a greateat opponent at that time, "and Lincoln. In txprtaalng hm regard for Hie great statesman, aa auTugletlc Un any thai a In n, a rut could ptt). in that teller auld Hiui Hie Repub lican purl) believed in the mull unu in i In dollar, but thut, in cuae of con flict, he believed In the man before the dollar. What do you think uf that, Republicans'.' Don't you think that I. nn "In waa right w hen he placed thi man that and the dulb'.r afterwards'. Read hm gpaaohail He never made a gpeeeb Of any length that didn't bring lurth that idea, that the man came mat gad tba dollar afterward; but today the Republican party hue reversed It, ami today It pula the dollar mat and tin mull al'lerwurds, If at all. Llnooln and Hie Republican Party Abraham Lincoln aloud fur the Re publican purty in the lioa. He waa the Hcpublicuu purty, in all ila hopes and aapiralloaa und lis ideals. Murk Hanna aiunds for the Republican party today, in its Ideas, Its Ideals, Ita hopea and its itapiraUoiia. If I were skillful with tin crayon. I would huve a blackbuaid here, and 1 would draw a picture ol A hi ahum Lincoln at uhe side uf Hie board, und at the other 1 would draw a picture of Murk llanuu, and 1 would let you Hepubllcana luok at the tubng gan slide that leads down from Lin coln lo Hanna. And yet you are com pelled to l imi ne between Lluculn and il. .i.i . Vuu are eumpelled lu chouse between the twu, Ihe ulle ur the ulher. There s a gulf between them as wide aa ihut w Inch sepuruted I .uaarue uu Abraham's breast frum Dives In tor meat, Vou cannot hold lo bulh. One ig Um antithesis uf the other. Let me shuw yuu huw this vlciuua duel line uf the duiiar Mist and the mull aflerwards pervades every Republican policy. Vou remember lhal In W we had a piank advocating the Income tax. I wonder why people don't understand ihe importance uf that income lax. If only the people could see the Justice ol thut income-tax law ! But 1 cannot ex plain It today. In 6 we had a plunk advocating the ineume lax, and a prom inent Demucrat In Washington warned ua thut the rich Democrat! wuni, i ,,.ii. the purty If we admitted the incume lax plank lu uur platfurm. 1 denied i thuugiu in, Demoorat wuubi leave tb party tu avoid a Just law. Uul I didn't knnw the rloa Delliucrula Uf well aa i did afterward. 1 aald, suppose they do? Won't the pour Hepublt, ana conn in lo lake their places? 1 thought Ho y would. 1 dldn t knnw the poor uepuu- ,n aim us well then a 1 dlu arierwaru. fuund Ihut. while the rich Dt-mu, nn was often watching the pulicles ano ready lu suppurt any party that was willing tu suppurt any principle mat wouid give him exemption from hia Just altare uf the public buiden, that a puur Republican wua ready tu haiiuu iui anything that waa in hia plalfurin. An Idea dun. Iowa. 1 got un idea dow n in Iowa oni mat would tit thin cuae exactly. Then wan a political speaker down there address ing a nu cling uf Hie Kepuuiicun larin era, and muat all ur Hie larmera nun ournatulk cams. Wln m iii the speukei suit! .-...un thing thai the Republican funnels liked, they would all ruiae their ournatulk canes and hurrah. He win tulking un the tariff, and. when he ex plained huw the Republican party had put a tariff un w uul lu ralue the prl. . 01 wool, they waved their rornatalk runen und hurrahed. And when ihe speaker explained ihat the Republbun parly had put a tuiilT on woolen good, unu thut that would make ihe price uf Wuuleu guutla go duw n, they raised their oomatalh oanaa ami huiiuhed again. and they thuughl lhal they hud found n law that would raiae the price of wool nnd nlao lower the price of goods made, mil uf ihat wool. I have found thp anmp contradiction running through thp Republican speeches on other aubjerta. 1 used t0 henr Hepulilb ana dlacuaalng the money question, nnd they would say that a man would take 60 centa' Worth Of silver to vho mint, ami have It Coined Into n dollar, nnd then they would deTl OUnOC a policy thnt would bring thla profit to the mlneowner, and linn tbay would explain that you COUldn'l add anything to the value of the metal by Inw: thnt yon were sim ply mnklng a RO-rent dollar, nnd thnt It waa not worth a cent more than the value of the all ver In It. And when he got through his speech, yu wire re mlBded Of the man who went over a mountain by a path that waa ao rooked that aa he went around n turn he met himself coming back. The Question of Taxes. 1 say 1 wna surprlaed Ihat people didn't underaland Ihe Income tax In IXWI. I thought that when the poor He liubllrana aaw thp rich Democrats rush ing out uf thp party In order to avoid n Just law, thnt the poor Republicans WOUld rush Into thp party In OTdOT to secure the benefits of a Juat law. I thought It would be like the atorv of Hie Irishman's mule. An Irishman wna lrlvlng n mule along the road, when the mule began to kirk. He llnnlly got Ills feet over the dashboard, and Ih Irishman, looking nt the feet, anld All right, you rnn art In If you want In; hut when you get In 1 gpt out. Hut If the poor Hepubllcana didn't Be lint was going on In ft, they have had Inlin e lo Si , since, because we havi had n war. nnd thnt war made It neOM sary to raise mote revenue, nnd th rnrmrr and the merchant ami the busi ness niun and the laboring man. Instead "f proposing an amendment to the Con stlttithn. permitting ihe passing of an Income-tag law, paaaai a stamp tnx law. I run bp against thla lax law very often. If I waul to send n tele gram, 1 hnve to pay Hip regular charge and then 1 cent on ench telegrnm foi iln "benevolent assimilation of tht Filipino." Now, why doea the one who sends a te.egi am have to pay I he ta I nun law is so written that the tele- giai'b company can avoid Ihe payment "i uu tax. ami rorog it upon the m ndai oi nie telegram. And why Is the law 0 Written 7 Iteeause the telegraph i i'iopaines nave more iniluen, e w ith th makers of Ihe Inw than tin people wh send the telegrams. Down In lowi I ran across another illustration of this tax tiie olio i day, when I had to pay it cent for riding In the chair car Now 1 had been used to paying JI or 'it rents, ami I wondered whv tiny wanted .10 cents. They explained that it was i!fi c, nta until that special iHx waa pla. i il upon the ticket, ao that tin i'ii graph i i.mpuny must collect 1 cent lor tin tiov, innii'iit and 4 cents fur th, troublt they went to In colliding that 1 01 nl. When the war broke out and the country needed more revenue, th' Republican pally didn't call for an In come lax. I hey fought the Income tax In-fore all the courts up to the Supreim i ourt. ami the Supreme Court rendered n decision b) a majority of one, decld ing the Income tax unconstitutional. and now thr pie understand what II Is to have a tioverninent unlimited when It deals with the cltlien, but llm lied when It deals with the properly ihe Republican part) has burrowed ' vciy thing bad from the Hngllah, In eluding the Idea of n bug, standing army, but In Kngland they tux tncom to pay the expenses of It. The It publlians have the large army, too, but Ho y want the people lu pay for It. Thi Republicans want an Imperial pulley here, but they are not willing for the wealth of the country to support II What do y,,u think uf this, Hepubll cutis? What du yuu think uf a policy that makes the pour man pay fur the army while the rich man goes free'.' The Poor Man's Burdt .i. nut li yuu Kepubllcuii nun in, nu blinded by prejudice that yuu cannnt s. e the Injustice uf a system that uiukm i In pool man pay uioii I ban his shan of the public burden, If yuu are so blinded by prejudice thut you cannot see that tin Kepubllcuii purty is en shrining money und deposing mankind. 1 am going to appeal tu the Republican women.

Thut so scared the Republicans dial they put u plank- la'thotr platform promising, if they were placed in power, tu restore blinetuliain under International agree ment. 1 aay that that plank was a fraud, that it wan Intl ml. d an a fraud, and that the Republican leaders never In tended that yuu should have bimetal ism; but, as goon us the President luuk his seat, he sent a cuinoiiaaion tu Lu rupe lu carry uut the teller of the plut furm, without its spirit, and 1 believe thut coinmiaslui. was a fraud; nut that the men w bo composed It were nut lu earnest, but that the uieu who uciil them there were not In earnest; and I will tell you why: Premise of the fact thnt the President appointed n fold atandnrd man as Reel eta ry of the Tn usury, nnd allowed him to make gold-Standard aprechea In the United States while the eommlsslon wna In Knglnnd.
