THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF.

Several days before the adjournment
OF Congress. the President sent a mes,
sage to Congress with regard to the
Phi ppine tariff. He included in his
message IA cable from Governor Taft
wherein the latter said that business i
considerably worse than III November,
II growing worse each MONTH" Taft
added that customs receipts had fallen
oil one-third. showing decrease OF pur.
chase power of islands. General bust.
ness, he said, WINS stagnant. All politi.
cal parties, including labo: unions, were
most strenuous in petition for tariff bill
and that the mere effect of ,ts failure
would he very discouraging. Vice.Goy.
ernor Luke +. Wright indorsed in the
strongest n all that Governor Taft
said. and stated that he had the gravest
apprc hcnSiOn IA to the damage that
might come tn the islands If there were
not substantial reduction in the tariff
levied against Philippine goods coming
into the United States.
The President. i'll hI4 message. said:
AS Congress knows, n series OF calum.
tiles have uefallen the Philippine peo-
pie. just rs they were emerging from
nearly six years Of devastating warfare,
with the accompanying destruction Of
property and the breaking up OF the
bonds Of social order and the habits of
peaceful industry" etc.
Il ask action in the tariff mnitcr
net merely from the standpoint Of wise
governmental policy, but ms Il measure
OF humanity in response to an appeal to
which this great people should not close
ITS ears. We have assumed response.
bilitIes toward the Philippine islands
which wc arc in honor bound to fulfill.
We have the specific duty Of taking
every measure in our power to see their
prosperity
The Republican Congress Of the
United States answered the appeal Of
the President by refusing TO lake any
action whatever. We believe that the
President meant well when he appealed
to Congress -in the name of humanity
but why. III the name Of Justice, did he
not insist hat absolutely free trade
should exist between the United States
and their subject colonies MS between
the territories md the several States
and the STATES themselves? IL the Phil.
ippines are Il Part OF the United States,
and they certainly are by compulsion,
they should be treated MS such, with all
the rights appertainipg thereto, and not
be subjected to the hard conditions i'm.
posed upon them by their c%onqueror.

The ranger force is doing good work rounding up cattle that have been re-branded by rustlers. This force of peace officers is making life miserable for the men who for years have infested the country stealing cattle and altering brands. Ranger w. K. Foster and Cattle Inspector Pruett recently rounded up a bunch of seventy-two cattle in the Chiri- cahua mountains tn a t carried burned brands. One man has been arrested and is now in the county jail at Tombstone. Every one of the cattle rounded up by the ran gers and inspected had altered brands on them, which is proof positive that they are stolen cattle. - Bisbee Review

The Henry P. Barbour company

The Henry P. Barbour company have scored big success in their new town - Don Luis-situated four miles from Bisbee. Beginning last Saturday the El Paso & South Western railroad began running ten trains daily between them. Bisbee, according to a census just completed now has population of 10.O62 and is still forging ahead. Don Luis will be residence suburb of Bisbee and the mining and business man can go quickly to his work. This is the first town in Arizona which has had rapid transit in stalled and great credit is due MT. Barbour and his associates for the manner in which they have given the people of Bisbee a decent place in which to live. MT. Barbour is we'll known here, having at one time been connected with mining property in this section. He is a man of good judgment and ability and while he has never aspired for political honors in the territory, with his strong business associations and acquaintance, both east and west, it would not surprise us some day to see him at the head of his party's ticket.
