before appropriating the money Yes replied Mr Spooner vehemently vehe-mently wait Let the people of Porto Rico starve until the courts have determined de-termined whether we shall pay back the money

another and to lie tie strinlive I hurricane which told untold damage on tIme Island Ho believed the appropriation ought to bo made to hahn them I and muili at once He 1 opposed Mr Joness proposition to pay duties collected to the persons who had paid them and In answer tu Mr Jones said he bused his objection to lie amendment amend-ment iiM > n the great economic theory in which ho always believed that the consumer of an imported article pays the tax SHOULD MAKE APPROPRIATION We all know concluded Mr Cock roil that some excitement has been created throughout the country by this proposed Porto
