The United State* Supreme Ceurt this afternoon banded down its decisions JLn the Porto Rican case. The first decision was in t the De Lima case. . The court held that in that case the government contention that Porto Rico was a foreign territory at the time the tarriff was issued is correct. The opinion, which was read by Justice Brown, concluded that at the time duties were collected j Porto Rico was not s foreign csuntry but a territory of the United States. The decision in the Downss case followed the history of the dealings of the United States with Porto Rico a step farther. That case dealt with the legality of the collaction ef duties on goods imported frem Porto Rico into New York after the passage of the Foraker Act, providing for a duty on goods shipped from the United States into Porto Rico and alae on J those shipped from Porto Rico to the United States. la this case | the court held that snch exaction was legal and conetitutional. The point of the two decisions 1 considered collectively is that Per to Rico was never, after the acquisition of that Island, foreign territory, that until Congress acted on the question no duty could be collected, but that as noon as Congress outlined the methed of controlling the island's revenues that action became binding; in 1 other words, that Cpngrosp has power, under the constitution to | prescribe the manner of collecting < the revenue of the country's insular possessions and has the right | to lay a duty on goods imported into our insular possessions from the Unitad States or exported from ; them into the United States. It 1 holds in brief that for taxation purposes they are net a part of the United States to the extent that goods shipped between their ports and the United States are entitled to the same treatment as though they were shipped between New York and New Orleans. ^ I VJ \ THE G HE CROW *y Our inatclil COII ir Carolina. jot a better assortment of morchun What oM goods we had h:iv x u*?w wo ukh priae in our n<o the latast and host in everything fiords.
