STAND PAT ON TOBACCO
PRESENT RATES PLEASE.
Connecticut GrOICers Still Fear
Philippine Competition.
rFrom Ths Tribune Buresu.I

Washington, Nov. 13-The only demand made
on the Ways and Means Committee by the to-
bacco growers who appeared before that BODY
at the tariff hearing to-day was that the sched-
ules be left unchanged. Every man who test-
fed expressed himself satisfied with the present
tariff and asked its continuance on the ground
that 1t is the chief factor in the increase of the
tobacco industries of the United States. New
England joined with Georgia and Florida in
supplying the committee with information show
ing the necessity for continuance of the pres
ent rate and in praisng the quality OF American
tobacco. There seemed to be little disposition on
the part of the Democratic members of the COM
mittee who were present to dispute the conclu
sions of the tobacco growers. Representatives
Underwood. CT Alabama; Pou of North Caro-
lina and Griggs, of Georgia, come from TOBACCO
growing districts, and although they expressed
great contempt for protection when other sched-
ules were under discussion they were silent to-
day This was so noticeable that Representa-
tive Payne in agreeing that the tariff was es-
sentay a loca! question, locked meanngiy at
his Democratic colleagues and said: The tarlII
seems to have hit few new localities to-day
From the position taken by NJ l.. Floyd, chair
man of the Connecticut Valley Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade. it is evident that Mr., Tafts
policy Of reducing the tariff on Philippine 10
bacco will continue to meet opposition from
Connecticut tobacco growers. MI riOSu esp
ciaiiv objected to the Presdent-elects idea, on
the ground that if would be impossible TO re-
strain the Dutch syndicates from moving their
plants to the philippines and shipping tobacco
here free of duty Mr. Floyd attributed free
trade policy to Mr. Taft, however, when In real
ity he has urged only a 80 per cent reduction
from the present rates
Representative Griggs asked Mr. Floyd II the
tobacco growers were afraid Of free trade With
the Philippines.
They certainly are" was Mr. Floyd's reply
"Borneo and Sumatra. where the tobacco In
dustry is in the hands of the Dutch, are so near
the Philippines that the Dutch tobacco growers
would he able to take their coolie labor 10 the
Philippines and raise tobacco with labor that |
costs but Is cents a day. which would compete !
with our tobacco. when our labor costs from !
81 80 to So a day 1t would take our standing !
army to keep these same growers of Sumatra
from smuggling tobacco into one or more of the !
1 800 islands In the Philippine group where they /
could pack it and ship it to this country free of
duty
Have you mentioned these views to MFR. Taft, |
the President elect asked Mr.. Griggs.
81 haven't the pleasure of his acquaintance"
was the reply.
Representative Nicholas Longworth asserted 3
that tobacco was grown successfully in only one |
of the Philippine Islands

they were near enough to the Fort
