Means Committee OF the House having
already devised "a hill imposing full
pingl,y tariff rates against the Philip
pines. viii now turn around and report
a bill reducing the tariff upon sugar.
There are always many surprises In
legislation, but such move as this
would pass my comprehension. and do
not believe 1t is being contemplated
either by the President or Congress-
Many persons in Congress and out
confound the proposed tariff conces-
sion to Cuba with reciprocity. 1t would
be merely tariff revision, nothing else.
There being no government in Cupa
with which to make a treaty. there can
be no reciprocity with that county.
therefore reciprocity will not enter into
the question at all.
