over to the Porto Ri-:ans the constitution t in instalments--ri little now and a little t-lien."

In closing, Mr. Pettus besought the

to change the constitution.

At the conclusion of Mr. Pettus' speech,

Mr. Morgan gave notice of his intention to move to lay the entire substitute of the Senate committee for the House bill on ~ the table.

Mr. Foraker of Ohio, in charge of the

pending bill, replying to Senator Pettus, said that the idea appeared to be abroad that the act proposed to deal illiberally with the people of Porto Rico;

“Instead of being illiberal,” he declared,

"it is the most liberal and generous leg- . islation ever proposed for a territory ot the United States.”

So far as he had been informed, no in-

telligent and appreciative man in Porto Rico had dissented from the propositions of the measure.

Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky interrupted

i Mr. Foraker to inquire if Gen. Davis him- self had not recommended free trade with Porto Rico.

“Yes,” replied Mr. Foraker, ' “he did

. make such a recommendation. But the _ committee, after full consideration, -decid- ed againsthis proposition. We are _here to 5 legislate for the whole United States, and A we were forced to consider the question 'from all points of view. The tariif pro- ` vision was conceived in mercy to the Porto Ricans, and in its generosity it is without precedent in the territorial leg- islation of the United States.” . Mr. Forakcr explainedthe provisions of

; 'the bill, showing that all the internal taxes

jand the customs duties instead, of being

%paid into the United States treasury as had becii the case in every other territory, would go into the treasury of the Island

Ricans. In round figures, these would ag

gate $2,000,000---about 3->l,400,000 from

customs and $6i>.),0J;) from internal

revenue. I

In response to an inquiry, Mr. Forakef

said it was generally understood that all of the sugar and tobacco now on' the Island was owned by the sugar and tobacco trusts. If this was true, he said, the im- position of the tarilf proposed would fall upon those well able to bear it and to contribute at least that much to the- sui-

fering Porto Ricans. AA

Mr. Foraker becfinie involved in a col-

loquy with Mr. Hoar as to the constitu- tion allright of Congress tolevy aduty on products from a territory of the United States, in which the Ohio senator de- clared that the provisions of the constitu- tion referred to had no application in the

case of Porto Rico.

Mr. Hoar continuedto press the point,

and Mr. Foraker iinally declared that the question in point had “passed . be- yond tlie law book stage" and had become one of the justice and humanity.
