HALF JUSTICE TO THE PHILIP
PINES.

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL
passed the house by vote of nearly
| four to one, The insurgents did not
dare TO go upon record In opposition
TO a measure in the interest of every
body but the sugar trust and the
tobacco trust. The servants of the
trusts and the enemies Of the presi-
dent in the senate may have more
courage.
After all this bill does only half
justice to the Philippines and TO the
American consumers. Ii leaves one
fourth of the Dingley duty TO be col
lected from sugar, tobacco and rice
brought from the islands TO the
United States This is exactly as if
the duty were TO be imposed upon fish
and lumber brought from Alaska into
the United States, or. for that mat
ter, upon coal brought from Illinois
into Minnesota or from lumber taken
from Minnesota into Illinois.
1t is a monstrous injustice to the
Philippine producers and 10 American
II is pure subsidy TO
the sugar trust and TO the tobacco
trust, as if congress were 10 vote
money from the treasury into the
pockets of those needy and deserving
Mr.. Havcmeyer and Mr..
Duke.
In another respect this bill does only
half justice to the Philippines. By
IN act passed at the last session, all
raffic between the islands and the
United States must be carried in Am.
arican ships after the first of next
July. This means that it must pay
prices to the steamship |
rust. That is no more than the coast. |
ng trade of the United States has |
o pay, but the coasting trade pays no |
ribute to the other trllsts-not even |
% per cent of the Dingley duties.
The tribute paid to the sugar and |
obaceo trusts by the Philippine trade
will expire by limitation in 1909 The
east congress can do, in common de
eRcy is to suspend the tribute to the
teamship trust until that time.

SHOOT FROM THE TlsRuRY VIEW

When DR. Charles r.. Banks was in
England six years ago and visited
Tisbury he saw in the old churchyard
OF that parish The famous yew tree
which is said 10 have been planted by
one of The Arundel family seven hun
dred or more years ago. Ii is about
thirty six feet in circumference. hol-
lowed at the trunk md capable OF
holding about ten persons in the cav

snoot from the tree as soon as one
could be procured Recently the doc

Is large and beautiful evergreen
tree. with trunk often Of great
thickness. branching few feet abore
the ground and forming a large and
dense head. Fine specimens OF it are
frequently found in English church
yards. and, for this reason. It has been
often mentioned in the eiegiac poems
of English authors.
The yew tree obtained by DR.. Banks
will have a deep significance and in
