" "THE future government of the Philip pines rests with" the government of tin United States. Few graver responsibil 4. ities have ever been confided to us. I we accept them in a spirit worthy of on race and our traditions , a great oppor tunity comes with them. The island lie under the shelter of our flag.

PEOPI.E who are exercised over tin assertion that the extension of the tarif lines around the island of Porto Rice would prove disadvantageous to oui sugar-producing interests , forget that the island itself is less than half the size o : the state of Massachusetts and that the sugar-producing area is simply a fringe along the water's edge. Porto Rico's sugar exportation in her best yean amounted to but about $6,000,000 , a verj small percentage of the sugar which we are compelled to buy from foreign coun tries ; while by eliminating the tarifl lines and accepting her products whicli we require , we open to ourselves a mar ket For $15,000,000 annually of farm products and manufactures which the people of that island are compelled tc import and would buy exclusively irorr us if our tarifflines were extended arounc the island. 1f 1 Baking Powder Made from pure - cream of tartar.
