A DMIXIS Til A TION POLICY JUSTIFIED.
The plea urged by Republicans in
justification of the Puerto Rican
tariff bill is entitled to candid Re
publican consideration. The' insist
that until n local system of govern
ment is organized no other way of
providing for the immediate and
pressing necessities of the island is
possible. Puerto Rico is more dense
ly populated than any county in
Europe. Of its million inhabitants
800,OUO derive their living directly
from the soil, anil 900,000 can
neither read nor write. A wide
spread and grinding poverty, un
known in Europe or America, has
prevailed under Spanish rule. In a
majority of families the heads are
unmarried because under Spanish
rule thej had not the money to pay
for the marriage ceremony. They
have no roads, no school houses and
no public improvements. They live
in huts consisting of one room, and
have wot I: only during the coffee,
tobacco and sugar season at wages of
from 10 to 30 cents a day. They
subsist principally on fruits and most
of them have never known bread
and meat as they are known to the
very poorest Americans. The land
is owned in 43,000 estates and the
owners nre mostly Spaninrds, English,
and other foreigners. Their principal
exports are, in the order of their
importance, coffee, tobacco and
sugar. Just as - the 'introduction of
American methods had begun to
produce beneficent results n calamity
occured that has no parallel ns affect
ing the whole people of a country.
A hurricane swept the island and
destroyed nearly the whole of the
coffee plantations and brought wide
spread, alt'jough less serious, disaster
to the sugnr and tobacco plantations.
The coffee planters being, all of them,
in debt had no credit and no re
sources with which to repair the ruin
the hurricane had wrought. In
twenty-four hours 800,000 people
were left without occupation or
means of support, and the planters
without credit or means to clear
their farms or employ the labor ihat
was clamoring for woik to keep them
from starving. Had not the island
been under the generous care of the
United Slates there would have been
suffering and starvation that would
have qpp'illcd the civilized world.
It was under these conditions that it
became necessary to provide means
for conducting the government of
the island; fcr providing work for
the people; for repairing as far as the
(government might the waste and,
ruin the hurricane bad wrought; for
building school houses and making
cfber public improvements that cx
liting conditions made Imperative.
How shall this necessary revenue be
raised ? That was tho question. Ko
ono proposed that n draft should be
made on the United States treasury
because no ono wanted to tarn the
Puerto Ricans into an island of
mendicants. Two other methods
were at the choice of the administra
tion. A custom duty on imports and
exports between tho island and the
mainland, or a direct tax in the form
of internal revenue. The former
method was adopted for these two
principal reasons. To collect n
direct tax off the islanders required
elaborate governmental machinery
that was not in existence. To
organize this machinery required
time, nnd immediate relief was im
perative. But an adequate direct
tax was, under existing conditions of
distress and" ruin, nn utter impossi
bility. General Davis, governor of
the island, testified before the com
mittee that, UA general system of
taxation to produce revenue enough
to carry on the government of the
island would amount to confiscation."
Other testimony confirmed that of
General Davis overwhelmingly and
the administration, that had con
templated immediate free trade with
the island, was compelled to yield to
the force of circumstances and adopt
an 85 per cent reduction of the
Dingley tariff till such time as a
local government has been established
in the island when .absolute free
trade will rule. We submit in nil
honesty and candor that the admin
istration could not have acted other
wise than ns it did ; that the bill is
most considerate and generous and
that the opposition to it, where its
history is properly understood, is in
the highest degree factional and unreasonable.
If the sugar and tobacco trusts arc
so dreadfully anxious to have their
imports of raw sugar and tobacco
from Puerto Rico taxed why don't
they ship at once the two crops of
these products the associated press
correspondent says they hold in the
island, and pay the entire Dingley
rates as they would have to do at
the present time? If they want
taxed raw materials, as Democrats
and certain alleged Republicans say
they do, what in the name of good
ness nre they waiting for? And
why nre they suing the government
for the 82,000,000 of taxes paid by
them on Puerto Rican imports since
the annexation of the island ?
A subordinate scribbler in the Ore-
gonian charges The Ciiiiomclk with
having made several ''attacks" on
Senator Simon. Tni:'OiiitoNieu: has
not "attacked" the senator. It has
impugned his judgment as a young
member of the senate in deserting
his party and voting with the opposi
tion. The right of the senator to
join in the unreasoning and senseless
clamor against the policy of the
party that created him and thus put
the administration "in a hole'' is
conceded.
