tends to hold that congress has unlim
ited power to deal with territory of the
United States, or to state It another
way, only one ont of the nine concurs
with the views cf the administration,
as represented by the Attorney General
in his argument, or as represented by
the republican speakers on the floors of
congress, and it is clear that, as the
court is now constituted, all that is
neoessary to make the constitution
supreme io Porto Rico is for the people
to eleot a congress that will pass so aot
declaring it a part of the United States,
Upon toe passage of suoh an act, the
tour juitioea now concurring with
Justice Brown would, by the very wori s
in the oploion of Justioe White, be
ooustra|ped to bold the Foraker law
unconstitutional.
While the deoision of the coort is, of
oourse, some encouragement to those
who geek to establish a oolonial system
of government under our constitution
and outside of it, and is apparently a
judicial sflhnunoe of what ex->Prtaident
Harrison called a "departure from
correct principles, yet the fact is that the
court must go further on thle line tbaD
it has gone in the Downes case before
colonies can ex:st, and pending such
aotion by the c ur*, or ev n if the court
has already gone suHicienUy fir for that
purp sa, the people have the absolute
power to forever prevent the establbh
inent of colonies by eltc ing a oongreßfl
opposed to their establishment, Tbe
court has undoubtedly gone a long way
toward* authorizing their existence, but
they have left the matter of ooloiise or
uo oo lon lea, for tbe present at least, a
political and not a judicial quesil n,
which in to be deplored, but, neverthe.
loss, being ma le political, the people
htvc complete power in the m tter.
With four o( tbe ablest Judges on the
t each denying the constitutionality of
tbe Coraker law, and witb conflicting
reasons given by tbe remaining five
Justices ft r upholding Us cons'itution
ality, it is apparent that the adminis
tration has woo but a weak victory,
and on stub s statement of the facts, it
will be hard to convince tbe people that
the constitution needs any amendment.
It will be easier to take all the ques
tlons raised in the Downes case into tbe
Held ot politics than to undertake a
campaign for a constitutional amends
ment, and this will be the result, as and
in the coming campaign, people will
vote on • Imperialism” and “Anti-
Imperialism” as a real and not a
fanoiful ques'ion, and as one, tie
determ'nation of whiob they dare not,
as they onoe thought they oould, trust
to tbe Supreme court of the laod .
In the disou sion of this matter, It is
pertinent todiscuss the various matters
and things that have led np to the
enno'ment ot the Foraker law and to its
upholding by the Supreme court. It is
to be seriously doubted if the revenue
clause of the Foraker aot would have
ever been enaote.t, except for tbe
beneflt of the proteotid Interests of tbe
country. It is to bs seriously doubted
also tf tbe unoonstitut j oaality of this
part of the Foraker law w n'd have
ever been queatu n*d, ixcept for the
protected interests r.f the country. It
was these interests that caused Presi
dent McKiuioy to recede from his
announced declaration that it was cur
“plain duty" to admit Porto It can
products free of duty. It is these
protected interests that alone pn tit by
the deoieion just rendered. Mo one else
in all the Gutted States is beuifilted by
t e labored effort in whiob tbe deoleion
is arrived at.
The part that these protected inter
est* msy have played in the opinion
prononcocd by the oaurt is possibly
revealed In that part if Chief Justice
Puller’s opinion, where be safe;
“Britfe bare been presented at this
bar, purporting to be on behalf of
oertain industries, and eloquently
setting forth the desirability that our
government should posses the power to
impose a tariff upon the products of
newly acquired territories so as to
dimlaieb or remove competition.”
It Is refreshing, In this oonceofion,
to note the language of the ohief ju *
tice with reference to the briefs, as
followe: ''But that famishes no basis
for judicial judgment, and if the pros
duoers of tobacco or sugar or rioe in the
existing atsges of this union bslieve
the oonstitntion should be amended so
as to reaoh that result, the instrument
itself provides bow euob amendment
oan be accomplished. The people of all
the states are entitled to a voice in the
settlement of that subject,"
With the protective tariff figuring
thus prominently in the arguments
before tbe oourt and jrith the triumph
that comes to its benellaiariee lo the
msjoritv opinion of the c urt, tbe
remit muni be the tariff quea*
tion more promiHtfoe in tbe next
campaign than it has bad la the past
several campaigns, Anew 1 sue will
be made from an old one, and in all
probability it will be regarded as of
more importance than eyer before.
It seems to be legitim tie argument to
ssy that the protective tariff, as un
derstood and practiced by the repubii
oan paity, has not only resnltsd in
diseriminot ocs between sections and
individuals and lo tie formation of
traits that sre threatening tbe govern
ment as has been tme and again
poiLtid out, but it has at la t reached
tbe paint where it is tire; tuning tbe
very exi tince of our free institutions
and human liberty itself.
There are other cases still pending be
fore the Supreme court and undeided in
volving other phases of unconstitutional
ity of tbe Foraker law. The cases decided
involved only the constitutionality of the
tariff ta x on Imports into the United States
from Porto Rico There is a case pending
which involveathe constitutionality of the
tariff tax on articles exported from ths
United States and imported into Porto
ltico. The point is raised that this tax
amounts In effect to a tax on exports from
a state, which is prohibited by the consti
tution Tbe status of the Porto Ricans as
to whether or net they are citizens of the
United States is also left open to be de
te-mined in still another case. And in yet
another the Philippine tariff is to be
passed upon. The oourt does not convene
again until October, and, in the meantime
the people will anxiously await the result
of the deliberations of the oourt on these
important cases.
Pending the announcement of these
opinions, every citizsn of the United States
ehou'd read the dissoating opinione of
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Barlan
in the Downes case, and familiarize him
self with the fundamental principles upon
which this government Is founded, and
the unanswerable arguments against any
departure from them, if government by
the people ißto be maintained.
