PHILIPPINE TARIFF
CAUSES UNEASINESS

and tobacco to come into the United
States in competition with the domestic
product.
Governor Taft's Position.
It is patent to the members Of the
Philippines Committee in the Senate that
Governor Taft's interest and soIiCitude.
and no doubt properly so. are for the
material welfare and prosperity Of the
Islands over which he exercises jurisdic-
tion. and that ne is giving them con-
sideratIon before he does strictly Ameri-
can interests at home. The Republican
leaders have no criticism TO pass upon
him for that. as they realize ne is
charged with d great responsibility, and
has wrought wonderful work in bring
ing order out OF chaos In the Islands.
and IS entitled 10 a large amount of
credit for the conditions which now pre-
vail in the islands. At the same time
they appreciate the fact that his de-
mands are incompatible with the preser-
walton Of the doctrine OF protection. and
that to accede 70 the demands will
doubtless mean to do injury 20 Ameri-
can sugar and tobacco interests.
Vice Governor Wright, when he was
before the Philippines Committee. made
the statement that under proper methods
Of cultivation Philippine land will pro-
duce FIVE tons OF sugar cane TO the acre,
an amount which is equal TO the produC-
ton Of the fertile fields of Hawaii, while
80 An ge
one and one-half and two tons to the
acre. Besides there are millions Of acres,
and when al is fully developed with
American capital the Philippines could
almost II not quite produce the sugar
supply Of the world. Hence both the beet
and the cane sugar Interests will oppose
to the last any reduction upon Philippine
sugar. Much the same condition exists
with regard to tobacco.
Question of Labor.
There is another factor which enters
into the situation. 1t is the question Of
labor. The sugar industry in the islands
cannot be developed without coolle labor,
as IL is a well established fact that the
average Filipino will not work to profit
In the cane fields. Under the Chinese ex-
clusion act. the Chinese coolies are ex-
cluded from the Philippines. but there is
nothing TO affect the Importation OF Jap
anese coolies who are capable OF doing
the work as well. and it is believed will
meet the labor demands. However. there
is little doubt II the sugar industry finds
itself in need Of Chinese coolies It will
devise a method Of obtaining the laborers
who are so close at hand
These are problems which are causing
the leaders in the Sena;s a great deal OF
concern, and Will continue to do so.
Either the material welfare Of the Phil
ippines must be sacrificed, they believe,
or an injury must be done 70 American
Industries. The Democrats are sitting
back. saying nothing and rather enjoying
the perpleIing situation in which their
Republican brethren End themselves over
the Philippines, and are wondering II.
after all, their political opponents do not
deep down so their hearts wish they could
cut loose from the archipelago.

Revival Closed.

The revival meeting closed last
Tuesday night and Rev. Eichel-
berger left early Wednesday morn
ing for Franklin.
The meetings here, despite the
unusually bad weather for this sea-
son of the year, were we'll attended.
About eighty souls were saved and
a great many church members were
greatly benefited.
The last night was devoted to
short talks. The congregation
unanimously rendered their thanks
to the people of R1ves for the use of
the tent, and when Bro. Hendricks
asked for all who desired Bro. Eich-
elberger to return and conduct an
other meeting, the entire audience
arose to their feet.
The meeting was success, and
the result of the good work done
will be felt in Union City for years
to come. Bro. Eichelberger made
a host Of warm friends here who
will gladly welcome him back,
should he ever desire to come.
He goes from Franklin to Pitts
burg, and from there to Baltimore.
