years has not exceeded 100000 tons. It never in the history of the islands ex- ceeded 265, 900 tons. The introduction, therefore, of Philippine sugar into the United States, assuming that it might rise to 300, 900 tons, would still leave to be brought over the tariff wall 9OOOOO tons, and could not, therefore, in any degree affect the price of sugar in this market. If the price of sugar is not affected, then the sugar growers and manufacturers of this country must al- so remain unaffected Figures with re- spect to tobacco and cigars are equally convincing that the timidity of the to- baceo interests of this country in respect to the Philippine tariff bill, is also unjustified. On the other hand, the opportunity to come into the markets of the United States would doubtless greatly benefit the business interests of the islands by a gradual improvement in the business tone, and we might expect ultimately the same prosperity that have de- scribed already as conferred upon Por- to Rico by the generosity of the United States in opening its markets to the people of that island"

 and if the Philippine tariff bill of the last session Is put into effect In the cputse of the next two or three years, that a decade, or certainly twenty-five years, will show an increase in business that will be more commensurate with the expenditure, But that increase will occur only if we continue the same all truistic spirit in dealing with these isl- ands. and give them every opportunity and aid to expand their own business and increase their own prosperous con- dition In the meantime, and down to the present date, the outgo for the benefit of these islands has been enor- nous, while the income received by the people of the United States from them has been comparatively small,'

ADVANCE OF
 OUR COLONIES Secretary Taft Speaks of Their Tremendous
 Growth. HISTORY REVIEWED. Addresses Millers' National Federation at St. Louis
 Convention.
HISTORY REVIEWED.

St. Louis, Mo, May 30.-Before an audience of millers from all parts of the country attending the mass con vention of the Millers' National Feder- ation and marking the largest gather ing of millers ever held in this coun- try, Secretary of War Taft this aft ernoon made an address at the Odeon, on the topic Recent Instances of Ma tional Altruism"
 The assembly constituted the final session of the convention of the federa- tion, which had invited Secretary Taft to address the body. President J. w. Burke of Springfield, Ohio, presided and introduced former Missouri Cover nor B. o. Stanard, a miller of St. Louis, who in turn made brief speech introducing Secretary Taft.
 Secretary Taft spoke substantially as follows. His introduction was q gen. eral one dealing with the theme of
 
 Memorial day, the most striking pass age of which was this: Tt was dis tinguishing characteristic of our Civil war that both sides, from the generals to the humblest. privates, were actuat- ed by real love of the cause they were prepared to die for, and now. as we look back on it, we can admire Grants magnanimity and consideration for his great foe and Lees patriotic self restraint iii declining after defeat to gratify false pride and carry on q desultory and guerrilla warfare which Tmight. have prolonged the hopeless struggle to no good purpose. There are those who think the war was un- necessary, that it might have been avoided. I cannot bring myself so to think. The situation was one for which only such a iconVulsion as war, horrible as it's effect was, could afford satisfactory solution. The Civil war. is the great epic of our his- tory; and though full forty-two years have passed since peace was declared, the grateful nation is still comforting rewards on the brave participants of the struggle, and honoring the mem- ory of it's dead"
 Secretary Taft then asked the indul- gence of his audience in order to re- view the nations history covering the last nine years" He said; "A study

The Immediate Future.

Secretary Taft sounded this sugges- tive warning: Speaking of the Philip pine popular assembly, about to meet, he said: "The assembly about to meet will doubtless be composed of men, majority of whom will declare in favor of immediate independence. This is the natural result, because of the argument that appeals to the self-pride of the voters that they are entirely fit for complete government. It is quite possible that much of the time of the assembly, in it's first session, will be taken up in perfecting resolutions of this kind. hope, however, that after having given vent to their feelings up- on this subject and having presented a respectful petition to congress there on, they may be induced 10 appreciate that the function of a national assem- bly, is to legislate for the benefit of the country and to come down to legisla- tive action on humdrum. subjects that do not necessarily involve eloquence and imagination but do involve hard work and patriotic effort and make for the betterment of the islands. The Philippine islands have been treated with less generosity than either Cuba or Porto Rico, but still great deal has been done by the United States for the Philippines and at very heavy ex- pense.''
 Secretary Taft takes this optimistic view of the future; Ana now what has the United States received in return . for all her efforts, for all her expendi- ture, and all her responsibilities? Let us look at her trade with the islands In the fiscal year 1895, the last normal year of Spanish occupation. the in- ports into the United States from Cuba were $52,00O,0OO; from Porto Rico, $S,- 100000; and from the Philippine Islands, $5000,0 000 Tn the fiscal eyar 1906, the imports into the United States from Cuba were $S5, ,o0O 900; from Porto Rico, $19, ,000000; and from1,ahe Philippine islands, S12,0OO,0oO The exports from the United States to Cuba in the fiscal year 1895, were $12,5OOO0O; to Porto Rico $S000,oO0; and to the Philippine islands, Sl20.00O. For the fiscal year 1906, the ex- ports from the United States into Cuba were about $4SO00,O O00;, into Porto Rico, sls,0o0,0O0; and into the Philippine lsl- ands, $5,5OO,OoO. This shows very con- siderable increase in the Cuban trade. K a proportionate increase in the Porto Rican trade, but a smaller increase, thnugh considerable one, in the Phil ipplne trade. Tn other words the total trade with Cuba has increased from $e5,OOO, 900 to $lSO,OOO,O00, with Porto Rico from $6,OOO,OOO to $3S,0O0, ,O0O; and with the Philippine Islands from $5,OO0,- 900 to $1S,0OO,OOO, or total Increase in business done with these three islands of $11o, 100000. While this shows con- siderable increase, the profit shere- from Is by no means equal to the great outlay I have set forth, am sure that if the same liberal policy Is continued

HON. R. B. MACON
Wins Victory in Getting Primary to Nominate His Successor From
 The First District.

WINNIE, ARK, Nov. 25.-The con- greSsioual committee of the First dis
 trict Of Arkansas met nere at 9:30
 o'clock this morning, for the purpose
 of determining the method of select ing Democratic nominee for congress. All the eleven counties were repre- sented, either by committeeman or
 by proxy. Hon. Greenfield Quarles, of Helena. presided. and in the absence Of the secretary, Hon. John l. Moore, J. R. Taylor, of Paragould, Greene county, was made temporary secre- rary.
 Judge Frank Smith. of Crittenden county. introduced a resolution call- ing for primary in each county, to
 be held on the day Of the general state primary, in March. 1908, to be voted on by the several counties, the counties afterward to select delegates to a congressional convention, for the purpose of nominating a candidate, and carrying out the will Of the cOHn- ties as expressed at such primaries.
 NIT. Rhodes. of Mississippi county. offered substitute reSOl uti0n prOyid- ing for general congressional prima- ", to be held on the same day as the Std0t pIluldII, llle LdllAiddIt irtfIf- ing the largest vote to be considered
 the nominee, for which purpose the committee is required to meet after
 the primary and cast up the vote of the several counties. The substitute
 was adopted by a vote of to i, the counties voting aye being Phillips,
 Lee, Woodruff, St. Francis, Clay, Greene and Mississippi. The counties voting no were Cross, Crittenden,
 Craighead and Poinsett.
 Hon. R. B. Macon. who is eandi-
 date for the fourth term as congress-
 man, and who is opposed al this cleo
 tion by Hon. Clyde L. Going. prose- cutting attorney of the Second judicial district, was in the city. but did not attend the meeting. Mr. Going
 was present and witnessed the pro ceedings of the committee. Mr. Ma con favored the substitute resolution,
 while MT. Going and his partisans favored the resolutions introduced by

HELENA, ARK, Nov. 25.-The Phil lips county delegation to the commit tee meeting of the First congressional district, held at Wynne today. return ed this afternoon, and are very much gratltled over the result of the meet ing. which turned down the conven- tion advocates and left the selection of the congressional nominee 10 the
 Democratic primaries. which will nominate all county and state officers. The primary plan was favored by Congressman E. B. Macon and his friends. His prospective opponents wanted a convention, but by a vote of to i, the matter was left 10 the people 10 decide, which is a distinct victory for Mr. Macon. Candidates for congress in the First Arkansas district must go before the regular nominating primaries.
 Above specials to- The Commercial Appeal appeared Tuesday morning. and is very gratifying to the friends of NIT. Macon here and elsewhere throughout the entire district. As We understand it. this means a blanket primary candidate receiving majority of all the votes cast in the district, if there are only two candidates. or the candidate re- celying a plurality of all the votes cast i'll the district if there are more than two, becoming the nominee. This seems to Us to be the only abso- lutely Democratic and correct method Of determining the will of the people and of choosing candidate, and does away with the method heretofore in vogue whereby the candidate was chosen by receiving a majority of delegated votes from the several counties, based upon one vote for each POO or majority fraction thereof cast for Governor.
