There is a provision for a tax of cents a pound on coffee imported into Puerto Rico. As there is no import duty on coffee into any ofher portion of the United States, it is claimed that this section of the measure violates the provision of the Constitution declaring that customs duties shall be uniform throughout the United States. But the question was raised in the Senate distinctly on a motion to strike this out, and there were ordy fourteen Sen ators in favor of the proposition. Not a single Republican Senator voted in the affirmative. Some, however, were absent. If this clause is unconstitution al, and if the free traders can get: an inning in any manner ; through our treaties with Spain in reference to the Philippines, the people of this country cannot find it. out too soon It is the duty of this administration, put into authority on the distinct undcrstand ng" that the protective principle would b,e upheld, to uphold it m every man ner possible.

' STARVING PUERTO RICANS. The following from the New York Press of March 29th will be especially interesting to. the people of Oregon who believe in protection to American industries and labor. In-order to give a mil understanding, we print it1 in full, 'heading and all: TRADING ON SYMPATHY. Sugar and Tobacco Trusts Back oi Cry for Porto Rica Free Trade. To -the Editor of The Press: Sir The New York Journal of March 2ist' informs us who the parties are that arc manufacturing so nmich sympathy for the "starving Porto Ricans," . Its correspondent from Washington says 'Nearly all the delegates trom Fort Rico arc in Washington laboring It the end that the statesmen (there shoult: have a perfect understanding of the con ditton in the island.

I his reiMjrt states that there are til teett of these delegates representing ti t Chamber of Commerce, of San Jt'at and other cities, the agricultural inter est, the Territorial and Agriculture' Bank of Porto Rico. Among the mer, whom, as stated, "the-Journal has per mitted to ass-ist in the undertaking s tr obtain free sugar and tobacco, art Judge Fin ley, British subject, owner a.' one 01 the best sugar estates in the is land, banker, with thirty-five years res idence in Porto Rico.

' The .above are the names, positions and occupations of the men who. the Journal says, are working unselfishly and KTatuitously devoting themselves in Washington wkh Congress, and who arranged for a mass meeting in Carnegie I fall to work up sympathy for the "starving" Porto Rican. which, in the , apparent estimation of those men. free sugar and tobacco will at once relieve.

THE COFFEE CLAUSE. The Statesman, on yesterday com mented on the , vote in tne United States Senate on the notion- to strike out the provision' in he Puerto R'can measure for a duty, of 5 x?nts a pound on coffee. We stated that not a single Republican membir voted ir the ailirin ative on the propositron. The follow ing is the editorial coiameat of the New. York Sun on that vote: "Last week the' Dem cr?iic party, through its reprisciititivci in the Unit ed States Senate; arrayed itself against the Republicans , on a great Constitu tional question,- If any issue free from the passions 01" Bryanisin could reunite the antagonistic faciicns ct the Democracy and regam for t:ie pany a a whole its old-time good rep're in the eyes of conservative vote's, it would seem that it had been found. "The Democratic Senators made their fight on the proposition that the Con stitution extends ex prcprio vigore o-er all territory that comes under American sovereignly; and the result was very striking. "On Thursday Ss.Tator Pettus of Ala bama moved to strike out thz clause in the Puerto Rico bill that imposes . a dutv of five cents a pound on coifee im ported into Puerto Rico, with the statement that he desired a clean-cut vote on the question whether 'a tax can be imposed on ; -merchandise imported into Puerto jRko and not on like mer chandise imported into other parts of the United Sfates.' "The Democratic view of the Con stitution was on trial in the Pettus amendment as distinctly as words could put it on trial. ' But besides the vote of Senator Pettus himself, the votes of ten Democrats only were recorded in favor ot tins amendment. "The full Democratic strength in the Senate was twenty-five. Some Demo crats, of course, were paired: 'But ab sence for any reason on an occasion 1 of such capital partisan' importa tee must make old-fashioned Democrat who still 'hope to see Bryanism driven Irom their party wonder whether witn Bryanism out there would be anything substantial leit. The Indian training school here gets its $.20,000 dormitory for girls at the hands of the upper house, by virtue o an amendment by Senator McBride, in iddkion to the brick industrial buildin .he gj'mnashim for boys, and other im provements provided 4or by the nieas ire as it left the House. The measure carries provision for 500 students for he fiscal year beginning July 1st. This will allow of the keeping of clo.se to 00. owing to the low proportionate ;ost of maintenance here. We say Murrali for Chemawa! And tnantcs to aur representatives in Congress! Now that an abundant crop of fruit is practically assured, the next thing 's to prepare to take care of it all' and there is no question but there vUl be nraket it. The prices may rule low, owing to the enormous surp'us, but sale for all the surplus, at prices fhat will be in. some measure remunerative. The prospective surplus covers ail the fruit districts throughout the country --not only in the matter of prune?, but for all other fruits. One of the politicians in Salem yes terday said he thought "Mark Hanna made a mistake by not announcing Dewey's candidacy on April 1st." Mrs. Dewey will soon find cut that ie is no national convention.

He says: "The year 1900 should be written MDCD.

Then, there is a shrinkage of 10 per cent on it. and additional loss from it becoming broken. 'Aiter I have sold it to a mid dle man, say at $1.25 a pound, and he sells it to the retailer, who can, only get 10 cents an ounce for it. you will see there is no great profit in it for any of us. - i "As for the man- who gathers it' went on the gum dealer. ."he earns his dollar a pound. I wouldn't clean the stuff for that nnoney. 'Every piece has to be handled and' most of n scraped with a knife to take off the rough out side. There is a good deal of waste in the cleaning. The best gunr gatherers arc those who know how to get clean gtrm. the kind that does not require al iot ot. cleaning, 1 'Notwithstanding the difficulty of get ting together 100 pounds of gum, the dealer recalled that he botignt on one occasion 908 pounds of gum from two men, who had gathered it up a winteit. They were Swede fanners from the vi cinity of New Sweden, in '. Northern Aroostook. Work is dull on the pot tato farms- in winter, and the thritty Swedes look around for a chance to make a dollar. 'Many of them go into the woods as lumbermen. Some - trap, while ethers gather gum. These two farmers netted $1 a pound for their gun and divided the sum equally. t Only men of the greatest patience and! of nsver-ceasinj? activity can gat'iii er nearly 500 pounds of gum in a win- ter. The task is one calling for al mo.vt incredible work. When one buys' a little box of the pure, amber blood of the spruce he littje thinks of the pa-i tience that has been put into the work of leathering it. i The gum gatherer begins his work in the tall, as soon as the snow comes, and make traveling on toot in the forest easier than- when the ground is bare.! and he keeps at his task, day after day, in storm and shinc, until, spring. Living , in a rough camp, he walks forth ' into tbe trackless woods tvery morning at dayliglrt, and keeps- going until dark. He wears snowshocs. on which he skims the surface of the deep white carpet on the ground, making his way from trcct to tree, his head up. scanning the brown- trunks lor the little drops of concealed sap that is known as spruce irum. An. expert gum- gatherer can see gum on the trunk of a tree where the novice could see none. He also knows at a glance whether a "teat" is worth tak ine oft or not. and that when it is some times fifteen feet above his head. As- it is impossible to Teach most, of the gum on forest spruces without some implement, the gum gatherer has a specially made gathering rod with which he brings down the golden drops. This rod is generally in three sections, so that its length may be Tcjrulatcd to tn" height to be reached. On the .i:d of the rod is a knife, and beneath it is a little pouch, such- as is used on a fruit picker, into which the piece of gum drops - after being detached front the tree by the knife. After getting all the gum on a tree, and there is seldom more than an ounce in the rough to he had from evert, the best gum trees, the sgun gatherer goes on to the next tree, yielding gum'. Nrt all spruces yield gum. Many of the trees have no gum on them at all until the bark becomes broken, or there is some break around a limb, allowing the sap of the tree to .exude and harden. Trees that have been trimmed of their lower branches are best for yielding gum. Sections where lumbermen have "swamped" toads, or have been logging, arc. therefore, better, as a rule, for the gum gatherer than the virgin forest, where the gum trees are farther apart, andU'he gum hangs higher. There is a vast territory in' Northern Maine from which gum comes, a re gion larger than the state of Massachu setts, covered by deep spruce iorest, broken only by lakes and streams. Out of this region in the spring come many men bearing their packs of gum on their backs. Some have devoted their whole time for the winter to gathering gum. Others have combined with this work trapping tur-bearing animals. A number of guides, who in the fishing and hiuitirjg season- traverse the woods whh parties of sportsmen, devote their w:-n:ers to gathering gum. The life of the gun gatherer i nec essarily a hard one. as will be seen. It is also terribly lonesome. All winter the wan with the gum pack fits like a shadow irom.trce to tree, silently gath ering gum, and having no company other than the wild ahings in thc forest. except perhaps at times when he goes out to some settlement, walking twen ty or thirty or forty mile. on snowhoes. 'o get provisions and perhaps get his mail from the little woodsman's iot- oftice;. Birt he. sticks to it. does the gum man. and in the spring be "ikuffV do.wn to Bangor. thcreN to market his gum.! and perhaps indulge in a few of the fading joys of town. ' Such is the story of gum, the kind of gimi that makes the Yankee feel like going back home whenever he smells it or takes a chew, of it; the kind that puts, to shame the sweetened confec-' lion made by machinery; in fact, the ' real spruce gum, that is- as murfi a nn-. of the-resources of Maine as ke, or lumber,, or granite, or pretty girls. tto5ton Globe.
