potatoes co. 900, plsntains 5000,
hemp $4,000, cocoanuts $4,000,
and corn 267,0O0. Reduced to
square miles, the area of the Phil

The state of Missouri contains
9,4l5, and according to the most
liberal estimate, the ground that
can be cultivated in the Philippine
Islands is 80, 1897 square miles.
According to the figures Of Mr..
Hill Of Connecticut, there has
never been cultivated more than
~ per cent Of the japanese Islands;
and Mr.. Clark says that II per
cent Of $4,000 square miles would
make an area of six good counties
in Indiana or Missouri; or that
"you could place ii all in the Con-
gressional District Of the gentleman
from Texas" (Mr. Stephens). The
proposition before Congress Is to
reduce the Dingley tariff rates on
tobacco and sugar imported into
the United States from the Philip.

thereof, from rs per cent to % per
cent this provision to remain in
force until the 11th day Of April,
1909, which is the day of the ex-
piration of the treaty with Spain.
The pending bill before Congress
provides that after this date, free
trade shall be maintained with
these islands. Mr.. Clark says that
there il no subject about which
there has been so much exaggera-
ton in Congress, both to magnify
and minify the value, as that Of
the Philippines. He cites an extra
ordinary description from the Mt.
Pleasant Enterprise, a republican
paper, published in the state Of
Michigan, which reads as follows;

Islands about three months (too
