General Davis says that a fair valuation under this census will put it at $130.000.000. and this without any government or markets. Who doubts. after hearing the statement of the presidentof the sugar association. that free trade would immediately increase the value of lands in Puerto Rico and in a short time double their value? I want to say to the gentlemen on the other side. who are so anxious to protect the American people against the pauper labor of that little island. in Gods name. give it just laws. good government. and you will have no pauper labor there in a few years to contend against. Drive it out of the island as well as the rest of the United States.
