can certainly be shown that the passage
OF she proper Philippine tarin bin will
not in any substantial way Interfere with

Secretary Taft added:
The demand for tobacco rs so enormous
and the capacity of the Philippine islands
TO produce IL under the conditions of
labor, the irregularities OF tropical agri-
culture and the difficulties of securing
capital are such 10 make any injury
to the tobacco trade OF the United States
from allowing the Philippine tobacco to
come In at 25 per cent of the Dingley
rate for three years and free after 1908
utterly impossible. On the other hand
the tobacco interests are comparatively
so small in the Philippine islands as TO
United states to the islands would add
something TO the property OF the industry
in the islands; but what is more inn
portant, A would give to the people of the
