ARGUMENT ON THE 0LE0 BILL

Mcfiniirc.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Tho scnato com
mlttco on agriculture did not succeed yes
tcrday In closing Its bearing on tho oleo
margarine bill and continued today. B. S.
Peters of Texas, president of the American
Cotton Growers' association, opposed the
bill on tho ground that It seeks to dlscrlm
lnate In favor of one agricultural interest as
against another, which Mr. Peters thought
was unfair.
Secretary Knight of the National Dairy
union followed Mr. Peters, continuing his
argument begun yesterday. Ho thought the
cottonseed oil product used in tho manu
facture of oleomargarine was comparatively
small and that tho passage ot tho bill, In
bis opinion, could havo but little effect upon
tho cottonseed Industry.
J. W. Jolk read a telegram from Collector
Coyno of Chicago, In response to a state
ment mado yesterday by Secretary Knight,
In which the latter said there are 2,000
dealers in Chicago who soli oleomargarine
as and for butter. Mr. Coyno said In re
ply that ho took It for granted that "Mr
Knight has evidence, or ho Is withholding
valuable Information from tho United States
government."
Tbo, commltteo decided to ask Mr. Coyno
tor a more detailed statement.

It, Is nevertheless true thnt the passing

thorized tho president-to reduce tho num

WASHINOTON, Jan. 11. There Is a grow-
ng belief In tho senate, nnd especially
among republican sennlors, that tho amend
ments to tho HayPauncofoto treaty will
be accopted and that this step will bo taken
In sufficient time to permit action upon tho
canal bill, If desired, before adjournment.
It Is oven asserted by sonio senators that
SBtiranco to this effect has been received
from high British' authority.
Senator Morgan today denied In emphatic
crnts that ho had received any coMtnurl-
cation from tho State department notify
Ing him that Messrs. Forward & Co., an
Ivnglleh shipping corporation, had mado
formal protest to this government against
the U8o of tho San Junn river ns a part
of tho proposed Nicaragua canal system
because of n toncesslon from Nicaragua
o that company. He said:
"I havo received no communication what
ever from the State department concerning
tho concession to Forward & Co., or tho
Atlas company, nnd I am suro that no
member of tho committee on Isthmian
canals has received any such notice. Nor
have I mado auy statement to tho effect
hat tho claims of the Atlas company aro
legal, as I nm reported to havo done, nor
any other statement 16 anyone concerning
tho grant."
At tho Stntc department It Is denied there
s such a communication there.
Continuing, Senntor Morgan said that ho
had known all tho tlmo tlmt Nieiirnirim
nnd inndo a concession to tho Atlas com
pany, granting tho right to navigate tho
han Juan river, but that It had nlwnvs
been his understanding that Nicaragua
claimed that the concession does not In any
way interfere with her right to mako use
of the river for nurnoses of lmvlcuttnn.
explicit conditions are made In the Instru
ment for provision for tho cnnal.
Tho Alabama senator Is still honcful Hint
tho canal bill will bo acted upon during
the present session of congress, nnd ho
expects It to bo taken up whenever tho
mibsldv bill Is disposed of If that uventually
nouid occur this session, Tho re
publican steering commltteo of tho sennto
has not yet taken any formal step as
signing tlio canal bill a place unon the

TIRED THREE TIMES
To fit Cotter to n Srimltlvn lloily.
There are great numbers of highly organ
ized pooplo upon whom coffeo acts ns n
clearly defined poison. In some extreme
casoB tho poisonous effects will show In
from three to live minutes, In other cases
n long tlmo is required, nmi in somo cases
the body CHn stand tho effects for yeara,
but tho effects are very sure, nnd many
times result tn n llxed condition of organic
disease that !s. difficult or impossible to be
rid of.
Mrs. J. W. Grant, ot Dcopwatcr, Mo.,
writes Interestingly of her experience with
coffee. "After using coffeo a number of
years and gradually falling In health, I got
so I could cat but very little breakfast at eminent and havo It governed. While the
nny tlmo nnd many days could not eat at constitution Imposed tho duty upon con
all. I would drink a cup of coffeo and try grcss of regulating commerce, yet since
to eat a llttlo bread.
"I know the coffee was hurting mo, but 1
did not seem to bo ablo to take anything
else. Jnfit tho mlnuto I took a swallow ot duties of congress. Mr. Carlisle said the
coffee my nerves would begin to tingle, a rcni question was not whether tho contstltu
veak, faint sensation would run nil ovor my Hon extended to tho inhabitants of Porto
oouy, my wrists nurning una acning, me
back of my neck hurting, until it finally
got so bad that I would havo to hold my
head on my hand while drinking my cup of
colfce.
"I would frequently havo to run to tho
door for breath, feeling as though I would
faint away. I got so I could scarcely sit
up th cat my llttlo breakfast. So It went
on until I ran Into nervous prostration
completely. Nothing would stay on my
stomach. I cnllcd In physicians, who told
mo I must travel, and gave mo but ltttlo
encouragement ot getting well.
"A friend told mo my trouble was coffeo;
I didn't bcllovo It, hut for somo reason 1
concluded to btop drinking coffeo nnd try
tho Postum Food Coffeo that had been so
highly rceommonded. I was greatly as
tonished to find that In a few days I had no
moro of tho nervous spells at breakfast
and began to ent food ot most any and
every kind.
"I began to recover very quickly, but
llko lots of coffee and tobacco slaves, I
thought I would llko to try tho coffeo
again, so I started In nn It and tho old
trouble came on. I stopped again and went
to Postum nnd began to Improvo In health.
I did this foolish thing three different times,
nnd each time that I would go back to cof
feo I would run down In health and was
threatened with the same old troubles.
"I finally learned how to make Postum so
well by letting It boll long enough, that
It taBted as good as fine Java coffee, and
from that tlmo on I havo never had any
desire lo go back to coffee. I am now
well, mid thero Is no question but that my
recovery Is due entirely to tho leaving off

for the Contention Thnt the
CotiHtltiitlon I'olllltlK I'lllK.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. Attorney ticii;
oral Griggs resumed his argument before
the United States supreme court today,
continuing his statement of the position of
the government as to the rule of uniformity
In tariff and Internal rovonuo taxes.
He insisted thnt the nppllcatlon of tue
liiternnl revenue laH--to Porto IUco would
be unwise and In many places unprofitable.
A rulo of uniformity In Internal taxes, ho
said, could bo established when to be ap
plied to contiguous Htntes, ns the stntes
wero governed by similar laws and similar
conditions. But when It came to applying
these taxes to widely separated territories
Inhabited by polygamous races, wide dis
cretion was necessary and to tndcavor to ap
ply a system of Internal taxes would bo
rather applying a straight Jacket than n
constitution. So, ho said, the correct rule
renulrcd us to consider tho uniformity of
the stntes, but diversity was tho necessary
rule ns to territories because of diversity
as to geography and racial characteristics
observable In the territories.
Continuing, ho said, congress should have
discretion to Impose only such (axes as tho
people could bear. "We have been no long
accustomed to regard the United Slates ac
cording to Its old lines," said Mr. Griggs,
"that It Is almost n wrench to consider thnt
thero Is now United States territory within
tho arctic circle and In tho Islands of ninny
seas. If the expansion snouid rcsuii in a
larger comprehension of the duties nnd
necessities, the possibility of enforcing an
Ironclad rule of uniformity ovcry whore
should be borne In mind."
CoiiKrcxN Jin ' Vnt-y Tiixch.
As to Internal revenue duties, he said
there wa? never nn objection to the action
ot congress In falling to extend the In
ternul revenue laws. In the annexation of
Hawaii, when tho local laws were loft In
force, thero was then not a single objection
raised as to the constitutionality of tho
proceeding. The varying taxes which slates
may levy. In the opinion or the utiorncy
general. Indicates thnt congress hnd slmllnr
power to vary taxes.
Tho attorney genernl reviewed tho history
of tho Internal revenue legislation, showing
that tho first tax on distilled spirits was
applicable only to states, and a subscuuent
act cxtcndr.d tho provisions to tho tcr
rltorles. Subsequent similar legislation re
fers to the states and territories nnd tho
District of Columbia. In tho Alaska leglsla
tlon It was cited that the Internal revenue
laws wore not extended at first nnd when
exclso laws were extended not all of such
duties were mado applicable
Referring to tho fact that there were dif
ferent rates of taxation npplled to tho In
dians, tho attornoy general said there was
no warrant in law for ono rulo for a trlbo
of red men and another for n race of brown
men or n race of black men.
As to tho future, ho said wo must con
aider the possibility, not tho probability of
tho acquisition of Egypt, tho Soudan,
Central Africa, China or n spot In the
Antarctic circio anu mo casscs oi iieupiu
who may at . ny futuro tlmo bo entitled to
citizenship. Tho powers of congress to
legislate were ttmply sufllclent.Ao permit
the settlement ot all such contingencies.
Tho nttorney general concluded by In
slstlng that no private right would bo con-
served, but that tho rights of tho govern
ncnt will be hampered by tho success of
tho contention of tho plaintiffs
Ciirllxlc ArKui'H for 1'lnintlfTx.
Hon. John G. Carlisle, chief attorney for
tho plaintiffs, followed Mr. Griggs. Ho be
gan by saying that ho would not discuss
questions of policy, as they belonged to
another forum. Tho questions were to bo
Bottled only on tho constitutional grounds.
He said ho had been unable to form nn
opinion as to tho exact contention of the
government. First, howovor, no pciicvou
tho contention was that tho Island of Porto
IUco did not become a part of the United
States cither by the signing of tho proto
col or tho ratification of tho treaty of
Paris, that there was a condition existing
which placed the islands under the general
protection and Jurisdiction of tho United
States, subject to certain limitations mat
during a period between tho acquisition of
the territory and the pnssago of laws by
congress tho Island might bo governed by
tho president subject to laws of war and
that the Island did not hecomo a part ot
tho United States until admitted by con
greBs nnd until such tlmo congress may
IcglBlato for tho Islands. From this, it
Is argued, he said, that not being a part
of tho United States, congress has a right
to say what taxea may bo levied and col
lected.
Mr. Carlisle first toolc up the conditions
that led to tho taking of tho Islands and
read from proclamations of Generals Miles
ana- Wilson, showing that tho occupation of
tho Island wns meant to bo permanent
Tho cession of the Islaud by Spain wns
complotc.
Tho Justlco asked It tho president might
acqulro territory without the assent of
tho treaty-making power, but Mr. Carlisle
said ho was arguing that peace was ob
tained after tho signing of tho protocol,
that there was then no war and that the
president could only create a do facto gov
tho signing of tho penco protocol tho pres.
ident, ho said, has exorcised tho powers of
assessing duties and carrying out nil tho
nico, but whetnor ll extcnus qver tno con
grcss, tho president anu ino caninci. i no
contention Is that tho constitution protects
every person In tho land tn his personal
and property rlght3 as a citizen. When a
government takes from a man moro than
It should It Is not taxation, but It Is taking
n)s property without duo process of law and
giving him no compensation for It
.Vpiilli'ittloit Of COIINtltlltlllll,
On tho point that the territories wero
not a part of tho United States Mr. Car
llslo read a history of the framing of tho
constitution showing that first It wbb tho
Intention that "all acts and treaties" should
bo tho supremo law of tho land. This was
before tho word "constitution" had been
Introduced and ho took It to mean that It
wns tho Intention to have thp constitution
to apply to all parts of the country whether
In tho states, or simply In territory be
longing to them. Mr. Carlisle argued that
tho constitution must bo Interpreted as o
whole and must ennblo (he government to
nccnmpllsh all tho purposes for which It
was framed. It must bo considered ns
cntlro to which all the agents of tho gov
ernment must look for power. International
law, ho said, could not govern any agent
of this govornmont, but the court could
look to It for defining what the constitu
tion means. There would be two constitu
tions, ho said, In tho Interpretation of tho
counsel, nn the other side ono for stntes
and defining tho powers, nnd caring fr the
rights of citizens, and the other for me
territories, giving no rights. Upon tho con
stitution thero bus been constructed u
gybtom of laws governing all Btates nnd
territories aud from the first the congress
has made uniform luus for traffic between
states and territories, as ucll as extra
dition, bankruptcy and naturalization laws.
On the latter point ho said thnt In tho
Interpretation nf the government there wcru
sitting rourlfi outsido tbo United Slates
In a territory granting citizenship. In tho
United Stntes to a resident on live years
of habitation In territory tiutsldo the United
Stntes.
Mr. Carlisle took the position that both
direct and Indirect tnxes had been laid
nn states and territories, and duties had
been Inld on Imports Into territories ns
well ns states. Under tho contention of
tho government that territories were not
part of tho United Slates It might bo
taken that goods could go free from Porto
IUco to Al.tBka, but this Is not tho cusc.
Tit for l.ocnl Piii-jinit-K,
That the tax levied 1j n local tax wns
denied, but It was denominated n tax for
local purposes.
Mr. Carlisle read the portions of tho
Porto ltlcan act establishing the rates of
duly and disposition of the moneys cot-
lerted as n basis for his complete argu
ment and said tho court would seo that on
alt goods from the United States to Porto
IUco thoro should be lovled 15 per cent
of duties on foreign goods with tho In
ternal revenue ot Porto IUco added, nnd
that goods from Porto IUco to tho United
Stntes enter upon the payment of lo per
cent of the customs with Internal revenue
added when tlio goods nre of Porto ltlcan
manufacture, when goods from other coun
tries paying the Porto ltlcan Intcrnnl
revenue may comu In without other inter
nal revenue.
"Wo Insist." he added, "that this Is not
an import duty. We object tn the form
under which the government seized our
goods nnd held them on their arrival nt
Porto IUco until we paid It tribute In tho
form of u tnx.
"An Import," said he, "Is something com
ing from a foreign country. Porto IUco
cannot bo a foreign country, for Its courts
send appeals to this body. It Is, there
fore", not nn Import tnx. but an export tux
on goods sent out of theso stntes, and there
nre two specifications against such export
duties." Opinions of the court wero read
to show that that tribunal had held that no
duty might be paid on exports from one
state to another, ns to a foreign country.
.No Pinter tii'l.rvj- Mxiiort Duty.
Following this Mr. Carlisle argued that
there could bo no export duty and said that
thoro must bo fixed some time when Porto
IUco censed to be forclBii territory nnd
that even with thnt point ho urged that the
tax must bo considered unconstitutional.
"It congress could levy export duty." ho
said, "there could bo as many rates us there
aro states or territories, for thero Is no
provision for uniformity ot export taxa
tion. Argument was mmlc that the tnx
was an export lax and ns such lu direct
violation of the constitution ot the United
Stntes. This tax, lie said, which under this
law is Just ns general ns n tariff law, Is
said to be a local tux. It Is collected
everywhere, In every state nnd every terri
tory. How can It bo culled local? Is the
fact that the proceeds ot this tariff arc to
be used for certain purposes nt more con
sequence than thnt the tnx Is laid first
and appropriated nflorwnrd In proving
thnt this Is local tax? Moro than half the
general duties aro, lie said, collected nt
Now York. It Is not n local tax, but n
tax tho proceeds of which may bo used
everywhere i- .
"Wo deny," he went on, ''that congress
has any right to Impose nny bucIi tnx upon
tho trado between tho states nnd terri
tories. Congress may rogulutc commerce
and mny govern tho territory, but under
ho gulso of governing that territory may
not govern the stntes of Now York or Penn
sylvania WheiV'lt -places n ta.vupdn thc
goods taken to Porfo IUco It Is govern
ing tho stale'.' Tho Ilmitptlon must .follow
cvdry poyvcr.
I.lniltnllon of l'o nor to l.cRislntr.
"Tho power of cougrcss tn legislate must
be subject to all the limitations ot tho con
stitution, ll'ml It not been that African
slavery was Involved, Mr. Carlisle said In
conclusion, there would havo been no dis
sent from Iho decision In tho Drcd Scott
case. Now wo havo n caso with tho negro
eliminated. Wo havo a case whero citizens
nre tailing their property Into u territory of
tho United States but In which thero Is no
conflicting point llko slavery. Tho condi
tions aro changed. Then tho unlimited
power of congress was urged by tho advo
cates of slavery, now It Is urged by tho
advocates of freedom. If It Is true that
thero lies this arbitrary power In tbo con
stitution wo ought to be delighted that it
was not discovered for moro than 100 years,
until wo had 'a country made up of free
stntes and filled with frco people."
Ho did not believe that the f miners ot
tho constitution ever meant to givo to con
gress unlimited power over tho lives nnd
property ot the people. When Mr. Carlisle
concluded Senator Lindsay of Kentucky be
gan tho argument for tho plaintiff In tho
next of tho Porto ltlcan cases, thatof Huus
against the Now, York nnd Porto ltlcan
Steamship Company.
Tho enso Is whether or not congress has
tho right to mako tho trado with tho Islunds
coasting trado or foreign trade.
