OUTCOME OF CONFERENCE

Meeting of Mr.. Taft and Republican
Members Of House Ways and Means
Committee Results in Compromise
by Which a Certain Amount of Fill
pino Products Will Be Admitted
Free of Duty Annually.
Washington, Dec. 12-Free trade
with the Philippines was one of the
most important matters agreed upon
by President-Elect Taft and the Re-
publican members of the ways and
means committee at a conference on
tariff revision. While Mr.. Taft favors
free trade with the insular posses
sfons without any restrictions it is
understood that in order that there
shall be no dissention he has agreed
that the amount of sugar and tobac-
co which should be allowed entry free
of duty should be restricted.
With that end in view it is expect
ed that the sugar interests have
agreed to a compromise by which $780,
900 tons of sugar will be admitted
from the Philippines annually free of
duty and that all sugar over that
amount will pay the present rate of
duty, which is Is per cent less than
the duty imposed by the Dingley tar
If on sugar from other countries.

BERKMAN DEFIANT.

As s reply TO the governments inien'
ton TO formulate plan to deport al
anarchists, the American Anarchist Fed
Grafton of America, of which Alexsndei
Berkmsn il one OF the leaders, has issutd d
a0 Official manifesto defying the Wash
ington authorities to act. The mani
festo says:
"YOu cannot exterminate aDarchlsm,
because il embOdies mans highest aspi-
ralious toward liberty, well being, and
the enjoyment of life. For anarchy
does not mean violence; on the contrary,
it wants to do away with all violence
by abolishiug poverty and government,
those eternal breeders Of violence.
Would a starving, unhappy man be-
come 80 desperate from hunger as to kill
Denver priest if thele were none
hungry and everv one had an oppor-
tunity TO work? Would the unemploy-
ed march the streets of PhiladSlphis
crying for bread and be clubbed by the
police for their hunger? Would any
one throw bomb to exp 'ess his protest
against police brutality and the suppress
sion of free speech il we really had free
dom and no suppression!
"Is il true, Ms they claim, that II II
were possible to hang or drive all the
snarchiss out of the country misery and
starvation would still TemsinY As long
as you have hunger they say you'll have
crimes and violence in one form or Nh
other. And SIS long as you have monap-
oily of the necessary instruments OF pro-
duction You'll have economic slavery,
industrial robbery and resultant poverty
sud hunger. II this be true, then il
may be, after all, that 1t is not the an
sFchisls but the wrong conditions under
which we live which are responsible for
the acts of desperation and revenge. "
