The secretary's reasons are In substance
as follows;
Whatever ultimately Will be done with
the Philippines, they are necessarily for
the next generation part OF the United
States. and tfere is no more reason for
tariff against them than against Hawaii
or Porto Rico or our Territories
Under Spanish rule Philippine sugar
was given a preferential rate OF three
cents per pound when imported into
Spain. while the Spanish government took
all OF its tobacco 10 supply the govern
ment monopoly from Cuba and the Philip
pines
Now Spain buys in the cheapest mar
kets and the Philippine. have lost the
Spanish trade The United States is under
obliga ton 10 make good this deficiency.
which has been made larger by the in
crease OF the import tax on sugar and
tobacco by Japan and Australia, and re-
ducing the sales OF the Philippine com
modties.
Unless the American tariff Is reduced
IN favor Of che Philippines the law re-
quring the islands trade with the United
States 20 be carried only In American bot
toms will be a great burden and lnJus-
tce 20 the Filipinos.
Congress should make good the heavy
loss to the island revenues caused by the
repeal. al the demand OF the American
farmer, OF the export tax on hemp,
loss not made good by the return TO the
islands OF the import duty on hemp col
lected In the United States
"A total removal OF duties on Thilip
pine products entering the United states
ts not asked for at this time. though Il
will be In 1909. when an internal Nenue
system applied 10 the islands probably
will develop enough revenue TO enable
them 70 have free trade
The opposition 10 the reduction OF the
duties on sugar and tobacco has been
nursed bv paid professional agents ctrcu-
lating misleading and unfounded state
ments. which has now developed de-
eided opposition 10 the bill by the repre-
eentstfves Of all the sugar and tobacco
interests OF she country except Hawaii
and Porto Rico.
The entire present production ~ the
philippines would not spprecishly affcc.
ths American market ~ admitted under
the proposed rates
mo Philippine tobacco ~ any kind
is exported commercially 10 the United
States, and only wrappers and nllers are
raised. and the tobacco cannot be laid
down in New York less than seven or
eight cents per poud. considerably more
than the price for me superior Come eti-
cut wrappers. so there Is not the slight
est danger OF competition with the Ameri-
can nfler.
"A 80 per cent reduction of the tariff

ence with the B per cent reduction"

Warsaw, Feb. 9-There is little

that most of the strikers who resum-

will not permit concessions at Dom
