Congress is forbidden to lay 'any tax or duty.' The State is forbidden from laying imposts or duties 'on imports or exports,' that is, articles coming into or going out of the United States. Congress is forbidden to tax articles exported from any State.' . . . Congress may lay local taxes in the territories, affecting persons and property therein, or authorize territorial legislatures to do so, but it cannot lay tariff duties on articles exported, from one State to another, or from any State to the territories, or from any State to foreign countries, or grant a power in that regard which it does not possess. But the decision now made recognizes such powers in Congress as will enable it, under the guise of taxation, to exclude the products of Porto Rico; and this, notwithstanding it was held in De Lima v. Bidwell (182 U. S. 1; 21 Sup. Ct. Rep. 743; 45 L. ed. 1041), that Porto Rico after the ratification of the treaty with Spain ceased to be foreign and became domestic territory."
