General Edwards comments at
length upon the recent tariff legisla-
tion of the United States, whereby
goods from the Philippines, except
rice. may be shipped TO the United
States free of duty under certain limit
ations.
1T is believed that the people Of
the Philippines have every reason TO
be content with the new tariffs, and
that there will result from them that
prosperity in the islands which should
be the result Of their relation TO the
United States says General Ed
wards
THE net result so far has been to
increase the price paid TO the grover
for his leaf tobacco ten per cent The
price received by the producer of
sugar has increased twenty-five per
cent. These are increases which may
be attributed wholly to the true trade
relations. fluctuations In the worlds
markets having been eliminated
General Edwards says the rate up
to date OF the importation into the
United States Of Philippine cigars has
been at the rate OF about 75,000,000
per year, or one-balf the limit for free
admission. The effect on the Ameri
can industry. he adds. of this impor'
tatlon may we'll be judged by the
fact that these cigars may be found
only with the greatest difficulty.
The imports OF the philippines dur
