MAKES FALSE PLEA
UNTRUE STATEMENT IN MANILA
DAILY BULLETIN.
BY Inference the Absurd Claim Is
Made That Hollands Sugar Tar
if Is for the Benefit OF
Javan Planters.

Now comes the anniversary number
of the Manila Daily Bulletin, with a
fresh plea for sympathy. They would
have us believe that the sugar plant
ers of the nearby island of Java enjoy
trade privileges with their benevolent
mother country, Holland, which the
hard hearted United States refuses to
extend to the Philippines. The state
ments made, and the differences to be
drawn from them, would lead us to
conclude that Holland maintains tar
If on foreign sugar for the benefit of
Javan sugars. which are admitted free
of duty, and that in this way the bulk
of the Javan product is marketed in
Holland at such good figures as to ma
terially help out the Javan planters on
the little surplus they are obliged to
sell at lower prices to duty-imposing
countries. The Bulletin says:
THE handicap of remoteness from
the great markets of Europe and
America affect us far more seriously
than it does equally remote Java. That
country at least has the advantage OF
free entry of her mother Country'5
consumption at prices which enable
her to equalize on the surplus which
she sends to duty-imposing countries"
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The state department gives the
Holland tariff on sugar imports as
1892 per 100 pounds, and in reply to
an inquiry as to how the various Eu-
ropean nations treat their colonial
sugars, the Hon. Elihu Root, secretary
of state writes:
"In reply to your letter of the Goth
inst, | have the honor to inclose a
statement, prepared in this depart
ment, of the customs duties imposed
on importations of various grades of
sugar by England France, Germany,
Russia. Austria, Hungary, Holland,
Belgium, Spain and Italy, respectively,
and to inform you that none of the
countries named therein, with the sole
exception of France, gives preferential
treatment to sugar arriving at the Gus
tom houses of the home country from
its colonies
This gives the lie to every statement
above quoted from the Bulletin, and
every inference that can be drawn
from it,
Holland levies a high tariff on sugar
imports, not for the benefit of the
Javan planter, as the Bulletin would
have us suppose. but to protect the
Holland sugar-beet raiser who sup
plies hundreds of thousands of tons of
beets to the 80 Netherlands beet
sugar factories. In 1900 these fac
tories not only produced the sugar
consumed in Holland, but they ex
ported nearly 4O0O00,0O0 pounds of
sugar to other countries. In that year,
out of total of over 100000 tons ex-
ported from Java, Holland absorbed
but 166 tons, or less than one-third of
one per cent of the Javan exports, and
on every ton there was collected the
full duty.
If Holland had paid $1,000 a ton
bounty on the 166 tons of Javan sugar
she imported it would have added less
than one cent per hundred on the total
Javan sugar exports, and it is plain to
be seen that even this huge sum would
have no appreciable effect "on the sur
plus which she sends to duty-imposing
countries"

Politics and the Tariff.

The Beverdge plan for adjusting
the tariff to a consistent revenue and
protection basis and for eliminating
from it the gross favoritism it now
carries to the trusts and many other
corporations, must commend itself to
every earnest friend of tariff revision
This plan is offered by a Republican
senator, a man who is committed to
the protective tariff doctrine, but who
has frankly noted the faults of the
system now in operation, even if he
has not fully stated the evils that
have grown out of trust extortion on
the one hand and trade restriction on
the other.
The commission plan, which has
been conspicuously successful in
Germany, is calculated to remove the
tariff question from the realm of poll
tics. That end in itself is en.inently
desirable-absolutely necessary to an
ideal tariff arrangement. A commits
sion properly constituted, whose mem
bers would not be office holders nor
politicians, nor interested Industrial
lolS, Dul llLpdi lldi anu lilOIOuSuly
competent experts, could ascertain
just where to draw the lines so that
American manufacturers and Amer
lean labor would be fully protected
without giving to the former a shelter
for eXtortion or subiecting the lat
ter TO the excessive cost of living
made possible under high protection
Such a commission could also give all
its time to this work. 1t could class
ify imports in such a way as to sim
pliiy and make more economical the
collection of duties. 1t could elm
mate from the schedules the prepos-
ferrous classiications now existing. 1t
would be governed not by personal or
garty politics but by the simple rules
of equity and justice.-Kansas City

VIII Not Bear lnsnection.

The tariff, we are sometimes told
should be taken out of politics, and
put into the hands of a business com
mission carefully selected. Changes
when necessary should be made by
men familiar with the subject and
with an eye single to business effects.
1t is a pleasing proposition on its face
but does not bear inspection. Such a
commission would be the most power
full body in the country, holding at
times great business interests in the
hollow Of its hand. Congress will
never, and should never, consent to
that; for, while some congresses are
ADLER than others in the transaction of
the public business, the congress of
the period is always the latest ex-
preston of the popular will, and is the
proper body for safeguarding the pub
lie interests fov the time. No tariff
law made by congress is ever a per-
feet measure. but it is always posi-
BILE to trace the influences that en-
tered into its preparation and enact
ment, and thus fix the responsibility
for any errors Committed.-Wa
ton Star.
