Imports From the Philippine Islands
Into the United States.

imports into the United States from
the Philippine islands under the new
tariff show an increase of more than
loO per cent in August, 1909. when
compared with August, 1908. Curious
ly, however. the principal increase is
IN an article which entered free of
duty under the former tariff namely
manila hemp. The total value of
merchandise from the Philippines in
the month of August. 1909, was ST.
.S2l,l3S, against sS14,519 in August Of
last year. OF this S1,S21,13S worth Of
merchandise from the Philippines in
August of the present year manila
hemp formed by far the largest mart
that article alone amounting in value
to $1,57S,205. while in August of last
year the manila hemp imported
amounted in value to but s31412S.
Thus, while the records of the bureau
OF statistics of the department of
commerce and labor show an increase
OF more than 100 per cent in the value
of merchandise brought from the
Philippine islands in the first month
under the new tariff when comDareo
with the corresponding month of last
year, by far the largest item of that
was manila hemp, which
entered free of duty under the former
tariff.
In fact the increase in importations
of articles formerly dutiable but now
free of duty is not large Sugar. for
example. although there had been for
months reason to believe that imports
thereof from the Philippine islands
would be admitted free of duty under
the new tariff. actually shows n
smaller importation in the month of
August. 1909, when admitted free of
duty. than in August. 1908. when pay
ing duty. The total quantity of sugar
coming from the Philippines during
the month of August. 1909. was 1885,
600 pounds. all of which was admitted
free of duty, while in the correspond
ing month of last year. when sugar
from those islands paid duty, the
imported therefrom was 24.-
100000 pounds or two and a half
times as much as in August. 1909
