I merely allude to this as the one iu

time lor the people to adapt them
selves and their business to our laws,
ami for us to adapt our laws to the

U ie.' It w.w a condition to be met,
not a theory to Iw wranglel over. It
prct-sed for immediate solution
There was an empty treasury, officers
unpaid."
li. nertil D.tvis further states: "The
municipal governments are many of
them prontrate, the police cannot be
puid, the prl oners cannot lie fed, and
the schools must lie cloned if not
wholly xupported from insular treas
ury." If direct taxation could have
been paid by the people of the
inland, the 1'ederal Government is
piHOMcd of no machinery to assess
or collect. But with the conditions
above described, such measure
would have, been useless. Hut money
mut bo procured from some source,
and it could be procured only by tax
ing MimelMMty and somebody' pro
perty, llow could this, tie done?
N iw it appeiircd to the committee on
ways an I means that there was one
Himpio way that would work no op
prenmon or hardship. It concluded
for the present, therefore, to abandon
the attempt to collect iulernal re
venue taxes, or to levy direct taxa
tion upon the property of Porto Hico,
It found that it would tie impossible
for Porto Hico to perform the "plain
duties" to the Federal Government
in the manner performed by other
slittes It believed that Ihe retentiou
of a small duly upon the commerce
between Porto Hico and the United
Ktales, which would fall almost
wholly on sugar and tobacco, the la
diiitrie-i best able to sustain II, and
apply all the money so col
lected toward paying the ex
penscs of Porto Kican government,
lor the present, at least, and until
some other measures, better and
more effective, could be devised for
raising this revenue, was the best
policy to adopt. It was for these
rettsous the bill was Introduced and
finally pal. The 25 per cent
duties were lowered to l.r per cent.
In order to prevent any appearance
of an attempt to protect the growers
of American sugar and American
tobacco, from the insignificant com-iM-titiou
with the production of these
islands. The Government has all the
necessary machinery to collect these
taxes, and it will fall upon the peo
ple Ih'hI able to bear It.
General Davis says: "The sugar
industry has suffered much lesa than
the others." The sugar-planter of
Porto Hico have paid their euiployi
about .'ID cents a day, have rich soil
and excellent climate, and have
iimrkolei about two-thirds of their
product into the United States, pay
ing full duties, ami yet remained
r. asonalily prosKTous. A this bill
removes K.i pei cent of these duties H
will certainly improve their condi
nun, eniiiinee their wealth, and not
be considered an oppression."

Unfortunately, at the time the tiit

much as a surprise. People had

An interesting question has arisen
How touch, If any, of the sugar tax
will be borne by the people of Porto
Rico, and bow much by the trusts?
It has been repeatedly stated on the
floor of both the House and Senate
that practically the entire crop of
both Miirar and tobacco I in the
hand of the irreat trust of New
York. There ha been some feeble
attempt to deney this. It is claimed
that General Davis telegraphed that
this story was a pure fabrication
Diligent Inquiry among Cabinet and
Army office's and members of Con
gross fails to find any such a dispatch
from General Davis. But not comes
forward Mr. PI d ley, the English
Vice-Consul at Han Juan, with the
explicit declaration that, at least so
far as sugar goes. It will not make
the slightest difference to "Ihe trust
what action on Ihe tariff is taken
There is, he asserts, no basis for Ihe
reoorls about large quantities of
sugar In the island awaiting ship
ment. '-On the contrary," the Vice
Oonaul exiilains. "all the sugar in
Porto Hico was exported long ago,
We had no sugar to supply the local
demand, and it was imported fiom
the Uulted States for that puriosc,
It brought, for local consumption, 1
cents a pound. The United States
troops going to Porto Hico took their
sugar with them, because it could be
nurchased iu the United Stati
cheaper than in Porto Hico."
This geotieman, by the way, still a
British subject after over 30 years
resident in Porto Hico, has made im
mense wealth In that island and
owns a great number of plantations.
But his statement proves too much
If there is not much of It anyhow,
whv all these "tears?" Why has
that gentleman remained so long in
Washington, according to Mr. Dolli
ver, the must rsistent lobbyist that
ever appeared before congress, it
there la no auitar for this tsx to be
levied upou? On the contrary, Mr
Dot liver has stated that this gentle
man admitted that if the free-trade
bill was passed, be would clear
f 100,000. We modestly submit that
he should be content with the $85,000
and allow the other to go to support
Ihe government of the people among
whom be has lived so long and who
have helped him to make bis wealth
But if, as he states, this year's crop
was exported long ago, where Is ii?
In what warehouse? But, more im
portant sliil, who Is the owner of it?
On that there can be but one answer.
There is but one purchaser lu the
United States of unrefined sugar, and
that is the llavemeyer-Searles Com
pany, of New York, commonly .call
ed the sugar trust. Whether a part
of this sugar is owned by such a
wealthy gentleman as Mr. Fin ley or
by the sugar trus, it ought to submit
to and can submit to this slight duty,
to be used tor the government ol
Porto Rico. It is much better, it is
much wiser, to attempt to eolket
this tax from this class of people than
it would be to attempt to collect it
from those whose industries have
been destroyed by the recent storm?.
This is the whole question presented
by this bill. The only Issue Is
whether we shall attempt to collect
this tax from the wealth of Porto
Hico or from its poverty. By this
test the Justice of this bill must lie
Judged. Should this law cunt iuue in
force more than the present year, il
is conceded that this taxation would
fall upon the sugar and tobacco
planters. Whether it I to continue
or not is a matter to m determined
entirely by the people of Porto Hico
themselves. If these gentlemen are
so anxious to escape this slight taxa
tion lu this, form, let them make
prompt application to the Porto
Kican legislature. They may not la?
so successful in deluding a Porto
Kican legislature as they have hceu
in deluding a great many of the o
ple of the United States in the belief
that they oppose this bill only b
cause it is enacted 1 1 their own inter
ests. I predict now that the Porto
Kican legislature will make no haste
to terminate Ihe operation of Ihe till
and that it will tie In (iteration the
two full years.
t Plrarsut t Vste Ms.
Mr. Editor, It ha not been pleas
ant to rote against what seemed to be
the apparent sentiment of my neigh
nor and friends. The only reward 1
not for in public life, in addition to
the approval of my own conscience,
is to be able to retain and tie worthy
of the repect and friendship of my
friends and the approval of the eo
pie who favored me with their su
port and whom I have Ihe honor to
represent. The pleasantest thing
Could do would be to obey their
wishes In all matters of policy and
matters effecting their Interests; (heir
matured opinions will have a control
ling Influence with me. There is
a Muetimes a temporary opinion, not
formed deliberately, but loo hastily,
on Insufficient information, tbat it
becomes the duty, the painful duty,
it is true, but nevertheless the duly,
of a true representative, who has
fuller mean of information, to resist.
have had this duty to perform lie-
fore. A hastily formed public opin
ion seamed to demand that the ret o-
ution passed In congress declaring
war with Spain should be based
upon revenge, not grounds sustained
b international law. Itsftimlio
demand that we must reeognu lie
Independence of Ihe so-called Cuban
republic and go into the war against
them as the servants or allies of Gen
eral Gomes. These sentiment
seemed very strong; the air seemed
filled with them. Many able and
dignified men of both branches of the
national legislature were carried
away with them. It required cool
judgment, courageous leadeiship, to
prevent disastrous effects. On those
matters I acted as my conscience and
b st judgment led me to believe was
right. A more matured public opin
ion has approved of this course. In
this Porto Rican matter, all ihe
clamor about members being whip1
ped into support of this bill is mere
rot. No man has instructed or re
quested me to vote for it, and no
man in high authority, the president,
sieaker or any one else, has urged or
requested my support of this bill
I suported it believing I bat, under
the circumstances, it was the best,
wisest and right thing to do.
I believe confidently that the peo
ple of the Stale of Oregon, uKn care
ful consideration, will accord me at
least sincerity of purpose and In the
end will approve my judgment.

The Western Horseman commends
the unfashionable trotting bred boyies,
those animals that iiossess good sise,
jckxI looks, good stylo, sound legs,
good fwt, are long lived .mt sell for
the high dollar regardless of the fact
that they are not bred In lines pleasing
to the light harness horse connoisseur.
1 hey are not confined to nny ouo state
or any one section of some particular
commonwealth, but are met with
wherever man has been breeding the
light harness horse.
Koine of the best selling horses on
the Chicago market since 1H00 trace
to these unfashionable families. Only
a short time since two of a four In
band that sold for "big money" were
grandsons of Governor Hprague, a stal
lion that Is practically unknown to
horsemen of the last decade, though
a most perfect trotting machine, a
game race home, a good looking stal
lion and a sire whoso worth has not
been properly recognised. Badgor
Sprngue, a son of Governor Bprague,
has been represented In the sales of
high class harness horses during the
past ten years by a great number of
sons and daughters that sold for prices
not reached by 05 per cent of the fash
ionable bred stock sold during the
same period. Scattered all over the
United States are representatives of
unfashionable families that are at
tracting the eye and dollars of those
buyers that are looking "for more
horse and less nVdlgree." .

tbat might be mentioned is not to be
despised when one Is looking for su
perior market animals. Too many of
pur fashionably bred trotters possess
So little substance and Individual merit
that they are practically worthless
when their racing days are over. Breed
ers should remember ttie experience
of the past decade, when "the real sort.
the right sort," of horses have sold for
remunerative prices while all other
classes went a-bcgglng for buyers and
'govern themselves accordingly."
Prr Cured Mrata.
The writer of this, la The Farm,
Stock and Home, happens to know by
personal experience tbat the most de
licious hams, bacon and dried beef are
cured by the dry process or without
brine. Take ono part ts-own sugar to
ten parts salt and one outre cf salt
peter to each 100 pounds of meat. Pul
verise the Inst finely and mix all to
gether thoroughly. I jit the aieat on a
la-ncb or tablo where It will not frees,
but will be cool. Hub the preparation
all over each piece and pile the pieces
together, but not over four high. Home
thpior will gnther and drop from
tulile, and provision should be made to
catch It In a pall. In the Interest of
icatness. In a week rep at the process.
but when the pieces are piled up that
time reverse their position, and the
aides that were up at first should be
down next. In another week make tbe
third application, and In a week or ten
days more the pieces are ready for the
Smokehouse. The beef should he smok
ed a little only or much less than the
pork. Such meat Is sweet, juicy and
will tickle any palate and will be sucb
a marked contrast to the hard salted
aieat of commerce that It will tempt
onsuniers to pay a good price for It
Meat so cured will keep well sucb
good stuff can be kept In the average
family until warm weather and even
well Into summer If kept where flies
cannot get at It, as In paper bags and
burled In oats, bran, salt or wood

sndorse a proprietary remedy. We nave often heard of cases where doctors
have secretly prescribed Acker's English Remedy, but it is most gratifying to
receive tne following voluntary letter
from C. F. Smith, M. D., tbe most
successful physician of Olean, N, Y. :
"Messrs. W. II. Hooker & Co.,
New York City: I wish to add my

relief, I have prescribed your remedy,
and it has acted almost like a miracle,
not only relieving, but permanently
curing every one of the patients. I en
dorse the preparation as one of the
most valuable additions to the prac
tice of medicine."
Such a frank endorsement as the
above is phenomenal. Coming from
so distinguished a member of the

an assurance which the public will be
