The Philippine Tariff.

The cry for the abolition of tha
tariff on sugar, rice and other Philip
pine exports to the United States IS
to be heard at the Capitol again this
winter, and already Eufronio Del La
Torres, planter and politician OF
Manila, is here to do what he can to
get the pending bill through. The ar
gument he will make is as follows:
"The Philippines Islands are at the
present time in a deplorable condi-
ton. This is not to be blamed on the
American government of the prov
inces, but to the rinderpest, which
in 1904 killed off more than 90 per
cent of our cattle.
"The farmers have not yet recov-
cred from this great loss, and with
out cattle to aid us in tilling the fields
how can we expect to be even in COM
Portable circumstances We could
have a fighting chance for existence
if the United States would favor the
Tariff Bill and let us find market
for our products. AS long as the Uni
ted States flag waves over them Ii is
the duty of the United Safes to help
them. 1t is proposed to help them fl
nancially, otherwise to establish agrl-
cultural banks, and give them the op-
portunity, under mortgage of their
farm lands, to get money to work their
property.
~ would ask this question: What
is the use of lending them money to
work their lands if you do not give
them the opportunity to market their
produce, and thus pay you?
"The result of this kind Of pro-
lection would be that, after GER
tain length of time, the bank would
own all the lands, and when this
should happen would ask whether
the tie resulting from this procedure
would not be harder to break than
the tie resulting from the bill grant
ing us a reduction on the tariff or free
land.

Judge Davey Insists That New Or

Judge Davey called at the offices
of the Canal Commission this morning
to talk with the officials of that branch
Of the government with regard to
The effect the new policy Of the com
mission will have on the business in
terests of New Orleans. The New Or
leans Congressman was unable to see
Mr.. Shonts, because the Chairman OF
the Commission is in the West, anu
will not return to Washington until
next week. Judge Davey talked, how
ever, with C. C. Ross and Leon Pep
peman, and expressed himself as sat-
isied with his interview with these
two gentlemen.
Wehn Davey voiced the views of
the New Orleans commercial bodies
in regard to tina clause of the recent
ly issued circular of the Commission
which provides that successful bidders
for construction work shall, in certain
instances, have the benefit of a greatly
reduced rate for transportation of sup
plies over the Panama Steamship Co.,
between New York and the isthmus
and over the Panama Railroad be-
tween Colon and Panama, this view
being that New Orleans chances for
getting a share Of the trade with the
Canal Zone would be practically null
lifed, Mr.. Ross explained that the
purchase of the class of supplies which
the Commission has been buying III
New Orleans are still to be bought by
the Commission, and that therefore
this new regulation would in no wise
interfere.
Mr.. Ross then explained to the
New Orleans Congressman that or
ders for many of the supplies came
by cable from the ishmus to Mr.
Anderson, the Commission New
York purchasing agent, and in most
eases such orders had to be filled
Immediately Mr.. Anderson is certain
of the date Of he sarIing Of vessels
from New York, and is therefore able
to handle these orders much more
promptly from New York than from
New Orleans. All perishable supplies
Mr.. Ross told Judge Davey, had to be
sent from New York because vessels
of the Panama Steamship Company
are equipped with refrigerator plants.
Judge Davey told Mr. Ross that
what the people of New Orleans want
is for him to receive these cable or
ders instead Of Mr.. Anderson and dis
tribute them between New Orleans and
New York. Mr.. Ross, who Judge Da-
vey thinks, showed a feeling Of strong
friendliness to New Orleans promised
to take up the matter personally and
give it his immediate attention.
After he reached Washington Judge
Davey received telegram from Mr..
Porch to the effect that the Board of
Trade wished the Commission to di-
vide up the sailings of the Panama
Steamship Company's vessels, having
part Of them sail from New York
This could be settled only by Chair
man Shonts, who about a year ago,
told delegation from New Orleans
that such a thing would be impossi-
BILE.
In regard to transportation between
New Orleans and the isthmus, Mr..
Pepperman told Judge Davey that it
had not been adequate to the situa-
tion. He expressed the hope that
something could be done to get better
service.
