PHILIPPINE
TARIFF BILL.
Reciprocity With Island Colony
Passed by House Free Trade
Substitute Is Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house
has passed the Philippine tariff bill by
a vote of 25S to II.
Rice was made subject to the same
tariff as sugar and tobacco, % per cent
of the Dingley rates, and one or two
changes were made as to language.
This result was attained after decid-
edly the most strenuous session of the
present congress.
Republican opposition to the bill in
the interest of American beet and cane
sugar and tobacco tried out its strength
early and gave up. This opposition re-
fused to affiliate with Democratic eff
forts. The strongest plea for ''insur-
gent support was made in behalf of
Champ Clark's amendment reducing
the differential on refined sugar. The
minority sought to duplicate the house
record made on the Cuban reciprocity
act, but they reckoned without their
host, as not a Republican opponent to
this measure stood with them to over
rule the decision of the chair.
The Democratic substitute of imme-
date free trade with the Philippines
was offered after the amendments to
the bill had been agreed to in the
house. Mr.. Williams was then given
three minutes to explain the substitute,
the time he asked, after which, upon
his demand, a roll call was secured on
the substitute bill.
The Democratic substitute was de-
feated 231 to 106.
An effort, sustained by the Demo-
Gratis, but opposed by all but three Re-
p~ublicans, was initiated by Mr.. Nc
Call CIass.) to commit the United
States to the policy of granting indie
pendence to the Philippine Islands as
soon as their inhabitants can be pre-
pared for self government.
The Philippine bill admits goods the
growth or product of the Philippine Is
lands into the United States free of
duty except sugar, tobacco and rice,
in which a tariff of % per cent of the
Dingley rates is levied. 1t provides
that after April II. 1909, there shall be
absolute free trade each way between
the United States and the Philippines.
1t also exempts Philippine goods com
ing to the United States from the eX-
port tax of those islands. Merchandise
from either country is subjected to the
internal revenue tax of the country in
which such merchandise is withdrawn
for consumption.
