SUGAR, CIGARS AND TOBACCO.
Plans Made for Free Admission of
Philippine Products.

The bureau of insular affairs of the War
Department has arranged with the Philip
pine government a plan to insure the
strict enforcement of the new tariff bill
providing for the admission into the
United States, free of duty. of limited
quantity of sugar, cigars and tobacco pro
duced in the Philippine Islands.
All tobacco factories in the Philippine
Islands will be placed under the strict OBJ
servation of the internal revenue depart
ment of the islands, and of the health de
partment, in order to be sure that the
tobacco used is the growth of the islands.
or that if any foreign tobacco is used
the quantities thereof may be definitely
known. The intervention of the health de-
partment is to assure the public that the
manufactured tobacco will be made in
sanitary factories by healthy operatives.
1t is intended that every package of
Philippine tobacco or cigars imported into
the United States which has undergone
this inspection shall be labeled to that eff
feet Furthermore, the Philippine govern
ment will attach to each package Of to-
bacco or cigars coming to the United
States a certificate indicating the quality
of the tobacco used and the class of work
manship. This will not only insure the
strict limitation of the amount of tobacco
which is to come from the Philippines,
but will give to the purchaser of such to-
bacco a government guarantee to its
Quality and cleanliness.
