THE MANILA ROPE" y
Philippine Cigars to Be Imported
Not Subject to SO Tax.
ye,c Yor1, s,.,. speoiaz Service

WOO 4 ORC sun SpeotQL SeTcso0
Washington, Sept. 15.-Acting on, an
opinion of the department of justice that
cigars from the Philippine Islands are not
subject to the internal revenue tax of So
a thousand when imported into the United
States, the treasury department has so in.
formed collectors of customs and will re-
fund several hundred thousand dollars OF
taxes already collected.
Cigars imported from foreign countries
pay customs duties of $3.50 a pound and
Is per cent advalorem and in addition the
usual internal revenue tax of SO thous-
and. Under the above decision the Ma
Mia cigar manufacturer will derive great
advantage in theS markets of the United
States over Cuban and other foreign
competitors for he will not only be re-
.lieved Of paying the internal revenue tax,
but will receive the benefit of the 25
peras cent reduction in customs duties
accorded by the Philip pfnes.tariff act.

radicals departure which will render him
more popular than ever, but which at
the same time is certain to arouse the
of certain vast interests. The
president Is now considering the advis-
ability Of a frank declaration on his part,
probably during his Ohio trip, in favor
of an immediate, but friendly, prudent
and painstaking revision of the tariff. :,
Z The president has been advised; to take
this step by some of the most experienced
and devoted leaders Of his party. The
presidents views are in entire harmony
with the idea of speedy tariff revision,
but he Is unwilling to pledge the party
to "a policy which cannot be carried out
owing to lack of harmony within party
lines. ~-~. s>-..- ..-~ 49,. =. s>-.~> :, Pc.
The president believes, it is said by
leaders who ought to know
that the party should pledge itself at
once to revise and lower or abolish all
tariff schedules where the protection Is
not needed for American workihgInen or
where the tariff itself creates monopoly
and results in raising prices improperly.
e Mr.. SpOoner Of Wisconsin Is the most
aggressive and the most fearless of the
tariff revision leaders. He believes the
time has come for a patient study of
the tariff by. its friends, with speedy
revision on real protection lines, retain
ing or even increasing rates where they
benefit labor and reducing or abolishing
duties whenever they create or assist in
the perpetuation of extortion. -
MIR. Spooner does not aim at the trusts
and neither does the president. The re-
Vision would not be based on the ques-
ton as to whether the product was
controlled by a trust, but rather as to
whether the cost of production here with
the American scale of wages was cheaper
than that abroad. Mr.. Spooner has here
tofore advised the president on this SUBJ
ject and he may be depended upon to
present a clear, vigorous and aggressive
view of the wisdom of a declaration for
tariff revision on real protection lines and
without the flavor of free trade.
