PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
The Bill in Danger of Defeat IN the
Senate.
IRON The Tribune Bureau.l


Washington Feb. 2S-There IS a grave ques-
ton whether the Philippine Tariff bill can pass
the Senate. Indeed. the measure will have a
close shave to get out Of the committee. Sem
ator Lodge. the chairman. will ask for a vote on
the bill next Friday, and to-day he expressed
the opinion that he can secure a favorable re-
port Present indications are that he viii not
have more than majority Of one to bring out
the bill.
II is said that some members OF the commit
tee who will vote for reporting the bill TO the
Senate are opposed TO 1t in its present form
and will insist on amendment when It comes into
the Senate 1t IS known that the opposition Is
being organized into an aggressive body which
will insist on radical amendments. The States
represented IN this opposition in the Senate are
Michigan, Wisconsin. Nebraska, California,
Idaho, Colorado. Wyoming. and probably several
others. Wisconsin is bitter against the bill.
The farmers of that State say that the proposed
reduction in tariff will affect their tobacco and
beet sugar industries. In the far Western
States where the beet growing industry has
been stimulated by irrigation. there also is Wig
orous objection which may try to talk the bill to
death If amendments fail Present indications
are that If the measure finally passes the Senate
1t will have to be amended to lessen the
reduction of the tariff on tobacco and sugar
coming to this country from the Philippines.
Secretary Taft appeared before the Com
nittee on the Philippines to-day and testified
at length on the conditions IN the islands. SEN
ator Hale was the principal interrogation. and
his questions applied not only to industrial con-
ditions, but political as well. In the course OF
the hearing Senator Hale suggested that IN
1904 the commercial value OF the products
ported to the Philippines from this country did
not equal the value of the potato crop II
Maine.
Secretary Taft replied that the value OF me
exports for the current year would reach
S5.OO0000. He went 10 say, however that
this legislation not based on the idea OF
extending American commerce in the Philip
pines He pointed out that the interest OF the
United States in the benefit TO be bestowed
the Filipinos bv providing a market for
their products. He took the ground that the
United States owed 1t to the people of the
archipelago to promote their material welfare
far possible.
The trend Of the Secretary's remarks fndf-
Gated that the people OF the islands look for
ward ultimately to political independence.
Waving that question for the present, secre-
tary Taft held that the first duty OF this coun-
try under the obligations imposed by the pres
ent occupancy Of the islands was to promote
the growth of the industries OF the Philippines
