‘So long as the ideas of its foun-

Your humble constituent,

President McKinley has signed
the infamous Pcrto Rican tariff
b»ll, and thus tbe preeent adminis-
tration is taxing the poor people to
death in Porto Rieo and shooting
them to death in the Philippine
Islands. The American congress
had no right to impose a 15 per
cent tariff on the Porto Ricans and
qiieeuonN which I will not neglect, did m> in open violation to law and
I have thought it due to myself equity. The thirteen coloniea
and my friends to ask a fair con- went to war with England in 1776
because England treated them as
an inferior class of people end im-
posed a tax upon them without al-
lowing them repreaentation, with- (
out their consent and against their ,
will. Tbs world knows tbo result.
Io the struggle which followed the
colonies were victorious and at tbe 1
consumation of a long and bloody
struggle the declaration of indo- 1
pendence was vindicated. And <
.while the householder slept his on- damnable shame it io that ws tbo
- descendants of those noble sires
have grown so maliciously rotten i
nocoodties of this contest compel and corrupt as to impose upon a
poor confiding people the very same
wrongs and injustices which caused
our forefathers to rebel against
Groat Britian and hurl defiance in
the face of her puissant power.
This io a blossom oft the tree of Re-
publicanism . They out growed
the constitution once before and de-
clared it a “league with death and
a covenant with hell.” They have
