There is a gratifying prospect that
the Philippine Free Trade bill will not
be pressed for passage at the first ses-
sion OF the Sixtieth Congress, 1t is
understood that Secretary Taft is dis
appointed to find that public sentiment
has not rallied to the support of his pet
measure, and is not disposed to carry so
heavy handicap in the race for the
presidential nomination. 1t is the talk
in Washington that the Philippine bill.

*Refunds from July l., 1902, to
| Dec. 81, 1902, have been covered in
| twice.
1t will thus be seen that the Phil
| ippine producer has Jared far better
than has the American consumer of
| Philippine products. If the Philip
! pine producer pays the Tariff (Which
FreeTraders deny), he pays it into
the Philippine treasury for the sup
port of his own government, besides
| receiving back any export duty upon
articles (such as hemp, indigo, copra,
etc., which enter the United States
free of duty. Tariff duties collected
in the Philippines on articles from
the United States also. go into the
Philippine treasury. But if the
American consumer is the one who
pays the Tariff on imports of sugar,
tobacco. etc, from the Philippines,
he pays his money into the Philip
pine treasury. Whichever way you
look at it,the Filipino is not so bad
ly treated after ALL
But, it is urged, the Filipino would
get more for his sugar, tobacco and
rice if he could sell them in the Unit
ed States free of duty. He might
and he might not. 1t would depend
some on the quantities marketed in
this country and upon the prices
which the Sugar Trust and the To-
bacco Trust were willing to pay for
raw sugar and tobacco. If the guam
titles were great enough to influence
market values in this country-as
they most certainly would be in time
under Free-Trade-then the Amer
lean producers of sugar and tobacco
would get less for their products. 8,
So it turns out that there is more
than one side to the PhilippineTariff
question. There is the American
farmers side. No political party
has ever flourished for any great
length OF time that failed to consider
the American farmers side of any
question.-American Economist.

Some Aspects of the Philippine Tar
i'll Question.

How many among the sentimental
advocates of Free-Trade with the
Philippines understand the exact
Tariff relations between those islands
and the United States? Very few.
we venture to say, are aware of the
fact that every dollar of Tariff duties
collected upon Philippine products
entering the United States is covered
back into the Philippine treasury and
used for the maintainence of the
Philippine government; also that the
export duties collected at Philippine
ports on products shipped to the
United States are paid back to the ex-
porters; also that products of the
United States entering the Philip
pines pay the same rates of duty as
those which are paid upon products
of other countries exported to the
Philippines. Yet these are the facts:
Under the act of Congress of
March 8, 1902, duties collected in the
United States upon imports from the
Philippine Islands and returned to
the Philippine government have been
