Cinvin.vati, Dec. 2S. Senator Foraker
has niudu h reply to the recent speech at
Ann Arbor, Mich., of ex-President
Benjamin IlurriBin, in which .Mr. Har
rison criticised the I'orto Hican policy of
tho government, characterizing it as a
departure from correct principles. In a
speech before the Manufacturer-' Club
of this city last night Senator Foraker
said on this point;
"All the questions arising upon the
I'orto H-.co legislation are toon to be
passed upon by the supreme court. For
this reason 1 do not care to dUcuss them
at this time, but it is in order to sny that

by that legislation, was creditable to the
generosity, the patriotism and the in
dustrial spirit of the American people.
Wu found I'orto Iliro aB poor as poverty
could make her. Site had no money, no
creilit, no system of taxation of any kind.
Shu wanted a civil government and u
revenue, to support it. We gave her a
far more liberal civil government than
was ever given to any territory prior to '
the Civil War, so far as participation in .
it by her people is concerned, nnd we
dealt by her more generously in provid
ing support for that government than
wo have over vet dealt with any territory, i
"In requiring her to pay tariff duties,
on imports from foreign countries, we
did only what we did with Louisiana,'
Florida, California and all the other
territories; but in allowing her to put j
these duties when collected, into her'
own treasury, for the support of her.

done before for anylxjdy else; for in all I
