of congress in regard to Porto Rico Is no reason to suppose that they aro ready to swallow W J Bryan and all the antis aud isms fathered and endorsed by him A difference of opin ion on one of tho many

strength or hud ho givou assurance of a life beyond the tomb there might havo beon some excuso for the auuouucoment but as far as politics are concerned it would probably have been just as well had tho announcement nover been made THE NORFOLK NEWS THURSDAY APRJL 19 1900 Tlii Porto Ulunn Turin The polloy of this govominont in regard to Poito Klco and othor outlying possessions Is a matter fordeop thought ful and earnest consideration aud u policy adopted in ono instance should bo n criterion which should govern in all instances It is a well recognized fact that a fundamental principal of democracy is that this government should have freo trade with all other governments A policy which has never boon approached but to tho detri ment of home manufacturing industries home labor aud homo production Tho policy of tho republican party has over been one of protection nnd encourage ment to nil of thoso and under this policy tho country has always prospered When it came to dealing with Porto Hico tho democrats sawor thought thoy saw a lino chance to so manipulate affairs that thoy could prosout an open ing wodgo that would finally result in unlimited froo trado and thoir efforts were energetically bout in that direction Had thoy accomplished thoir oml thoy would not only huvo placed tho ropubl can party in an embarrassing position but would have again had an opportun ity to placo tho country in a position aud condition as it wnsuudorOloveland but thoy woro unsuccessful Tho result of tariff legislation in re gard to outlying possessions is somo thiug of nu oxporimout and tho republi can party stauds rondy to give such possessions absolute froo trado providing it is shown that tho interests of the pooplo of tho mainland aro not jeopar dized to thoir bonollt No ono could conscientiously support n plan that would result in untold benefit to a small island or inlands with loss than n quarter of tho inhabitants of tho mninlaud Such a course would bo condomued us worse than silly For instauco if it was demonstrated that all tho corn needed in this country could bo produced in Porto Hico at less cost than it could bo produced hero it would bo a suicidal policy to give tho farmers of that island ovory udvantngo and tho thousands of producers of this country none Time will demonstrate theso things and tho people of tho United States may rest assured that tho pooplo of Porto Rico nnd tho othor islands will bo given overy udvantngo possiblo without sacrificing tho interests of a larger num ber of pooplo of this country It has boon repeatedly asserted that tho repub licans aro an overbearing people grind ing the lifo blood out of overy one under their control but tho assertions havo novor boon substantiated and thoir policy will always bo just to tho great est number of homo pooplo concerned A writer has recoutly presented this ndmirablo review of tho Porto Ricau tariff case The bill as it stands proposes to temporarily colleot on goods passing from Porto Rico into tho United States aud from the United States into Porto Rico lo per cout of the regular Diugley tariff nnd to pay into tho empty treasury of tho island ovory dollar so collected this plan to contiuuo only until tho legislature of Porto Rico shall have provided local taxation sufficient to meet tho necessities of tho island aud in no ovont to continue beyond March 1 1902 after which dnto there is to bo nbsoluto freo trado botwoou tho island and the United States Ono of tho objects of a tariff upon Porto Ricos products imported Jhere is to establish a right to impose such a tariff in later years should it bo found necessary This will bo a precedout in our legislation for our now Epossossious the Philippines Tho proposed import duty 15 per cout of tho Diugloy rates is merely nominal within 0 por cout of freo trado Baok of it is nu established power and recognized authority to deal with theso questions as shall seem wisest and best whou wo know more about tho wholo matter nnd shall Jbottor under stand tho truo situation with which we havo to doal What Porto Rico is today wo know what it may become ten or twouty years from now under tho influence of American capital nnd ontorprize we can only conjecture Cotton may bo grown thoro nud cotton manufacturing might become a largo industry With cheap islaud labor the product of our own northern nud southern mills could bo uudersold Would it bo right to exposo tho agricultural aud industrial interests of theso United States to such competition If tho principal of a tariff bo not now maintniued it might bo dif ficult if uot impossible to impose ouo hereafter if it should thus become necessary Then tho republicnu party would bo blamed and justly so for its uogloct to protect the interests of Ameri can citizens on tho mainland nud for its lack of forethought It may bo that the sugar yiold thoro may grow to such nu oxteut as to curtail the available market area for our grow ing beet industry Tho Baino may bo true of tobacco of vegetables of oranges of rice of hides of hemp and other products It is not claimed that there is daugor today But that there is strong probability of danger to Ameri can industries through tho establish ment of freo trade relations with Porto Rico as a precedent for our policy in dealiug with all our outlying posses sions no ouo can deny after having given tho subject careful investigation What applies to Porto Rico might be held to apply equally to other posses sions aud who can say what may develop in that much largor and equally fortilo area in tho cast with its nbundanco of chonp labor This is what wo must gunrd against Without a procodont and tho established right to impose a tariff upon any of tho products of our island possessions tho United Statos may in years to conio fool tho offoct of such lack ofjlogislation to a very sorious degree Hy tho adoption of this legislation future protection will bo possiblo to American interests in caso it bo needed against that sourco or ngalnst tho Phil ippines or against tho Danish West Indios should wo acquire thorn or any outlying possessions An ounce of provontlon2is worth a pound of ouro and it is host not to fix a precedent that willnbollsh a right which maintains our national policy Moro ovor tho ropubllcnn party will not bo committed to tho policy of froo trado as is so earnestly desired hy tho domocrats Tho fusionlstrt havo long advocated tho eloctiou of sonators hy dlroctjvoto of tho pooplo while tho republicans hnvo not particularly opposod it Now that a law to that offoct has been passed by tho house and is likoly to bo passod by tho souato it takes nnothor plank from thoir platform aud It is beginning to look liko that foundation ouTJwliich to build a party has boon wrecked by dynamite Early in his political carcor W J Bryan was introduced to the pooplo by having his name placod on tho ballot in Nobraska as caudidnto for tho United States sonnto Ho was not olocted to tho placo covotodjbut stoppod from thoro into tho caudidncyjfor presi dent Tho oloctiou of United States sonators by direct vote of tho people is a legitimnto conclusion nud will bo done at less cxponso than heretofore Tho timo of legislatures is largoly consumed by tho choosing of senators and by electing them direct tho stato congress could devoto thoir time to matters moro portiuont to tho stato nud would un doubtedly got along with a shorter session and therefore loss expense to the tax payers Tho timo is ripo for such a chango nud it will undoubtedly come ns all truo and pormaneut reforms havo through a republican congress About state legislatures have endorsed the proposition and tho republican state convention of Nobraska of U0 years ago adopted tho idea as a plank in its plat form The Wisuor Chronicle has a novel plan to induce equitable taxation and ono which certainly has its points to recommend it If the pan could be adopted it would certainly tend toward tho adjustment of a very vexing prob lem The Chroniclo says Judging from tho reports of assessors meotings in tho various counties tho grand assess ment roll of 1900 will scarcely exceed that of 1899 if in fact it equals it The coucerted effort in all the richer counties to force down the valuation of property aud in plain violation of law must bo effectually overcome before anything liko equitable taxation for maintenance wf state government can bo accomplished Just what will do this is the problem A system of stato insurance would bring about bettor assessments If each property owner by paying a small levy on the dollar valuation could havo his property insured by the state at its as sessed valuation there would be some iucoutivo to list property at about its caso value There might bo abuses of such a system but the cases would be isolated At present public opinion is nullifying a plain provision of tho statue and personal property is being assessed nt from one fourth to one twentieth of its actual value As has heretofore boon asserted tho prico of agricultural products depends somewhat upon tho farmorsIf the present price of corn induces all of them to plant a largor portion of theirfiolds in that coreal thnn usual aud if they happen to raiso a bumper crop the prico of the product is nlmostj certain to decline unless perchance thoro should be nu unprecedented demand A busi ness administration has sonio power to mako prices by stimulatiug industries but there are limits to such powers and business tact ou tho part of agricultural ists aud othor peoples is an essential coucomitaut to prosperity An admin istrations policy can no more prevent sonio people from failiug than it can prevent others from making money Theso facts should bo born in mind at this
