i lustily esteemed contemporary crit-
i jc j M , Senator Hill for “dwelling on a
I ca tter so completely ont of date ns the
I pj.g.1 Scott decision.” Bnt as tho
I f iole cstcnce of imperialism is con-
I tiined in tHat decision, it is a rather
I liye question after all. The fnndamcn-
[nlqaestion concerning tho power of
I confire® 8 in the Territories is involved
lijif. as it is in the Porto Itican <iues-
I non.
He Constitution demands that "all
I daties,imports,and excises shall'be uni'
I form throughout the United States."
L Republican Congress enacts a law
I giing duties for a portion of tho Uni-
I ted States, Porto Kico, at a rate differ-
I {E t from the rest of the United States.
I He President approved the law. That
I jj. be overrode a plain dictate of the
I Constitution, This is imperialism; an
■ i;bitrarv act. If ho can do it in one
I thing tbe day will come when he can
I lid will do it in anothor.
Congress in 1890 declared by legisla

I,bow a certain line mentioned in tho

Ipred Scott decision held the power of
[congress to do this was not warranted
■hr the Constitution, and that the act
Ins therefore void, and Drod Scott rc-
Iniined a slavo until his rdco was
■illegally and unconstitutionally eman
Icipated by the imperialistic act of Lin

Senator Hill is discussing somo
jghty interesting questions when ho

Many farmers who give their boys a
coilegiate education, transfer them
thereby from the farm to the town to
study law or medicine or engage in
merchandise or bookkoopine, notwith

are overcrowded, while the field for
mechanics and artisans is a large one.
