Most of the time of the Philippine
commission is now devoted to the tariff
bill. Judge Taft said that, generally
speaking, the new rates would be about
4O per cent of the existing rates.
1T will be essentially a tariff for rev.
enue," he remarked, but some indus
tries that are already established will be
given protection. The commission is not
considering the question of constitutions
ality of taxing United States products.
The precedents have been established in
the case of Porto Rico and by the mill
tary government of the Philippines.
THE bill requires the washing of cot
ton goods, so as to eliminate the clay
used by European manufacturers, which
increases the weight. This will Incl
dentally favor American goods. The rate
on Kerosene will be reduced from II
cents a gallon to /. Some American
goods will be admitted free, and almost
all will come in at reduced figures.
