The report further contends that a
similar Joker" In the paragraph pro-
viding for the free entry of coffee
places a duty on coffee equal to the
export duty imposed by the country
from which 1t is improved. and that
the consumer must pay both the ex-
port duty of the other country and
the import duty of the United States.
The tax on tea Is also attacked. the
claim being made that the 100000
which it is proposed to raise by i'm
posing a duty on tea. represents the
amount by which the cost of living
will be increased by this tax.
Criticism Is made OF the metal sched-
ule. and 1t is contended that hides hav-
ing been placed on the free list. the
duty on leather. shoes, harness and
other leather manufactures, also ought
to be removed.
Referring to the reduction of 5-100
of a cent in the duty on refined sugar.

Theoretically the trust receives a
blow between the eyes In realty.
this INFINITE small reduction of the
Dingley rate will not reduce the price
of refined bugar-a prime necessity of
life-to the consumer in any degree
whatsoever. Certainly that reduction
may be properly dominated as a sham"

that France has been singled out par

Philippines Consider Tariff.

Manila. March 22.-The Philippines
Assembly is considering informally the
tarifr legislation now pending in Wash
ington.
1t is planned to take up the question
tomorrow and to embody the views OF
the Assembly in a set of resolutions
which will be forwarded to the Fill
pino representatives in Washington 1t
Is expected that these proposed reso-
lutions will oppose any action of Con-
gress tending in any way to alter the
trade relations between the Philippines
and the United States. 1t Is manifest
that a majority of the members of the
assembly fear that closer trade rela-
lions will lead to closer political rela-
lions which will interfere with the ul-
innate independence of the islands.
They also fear that the losses to Is
land revenue by free trade would end
the financial independence of the in
aular government and compel 1t to ap-
peal to be placed under the direct con-
troll of Congress, thus lessening the
assembly's voice in insular affairs.

the manner in which the vacancies

called attention to the. fact that New
England was abundantly represented
and that the West had been well taken
care of, but declared that South Gen.

reservations, such as West Virginia,
Kentucky and Missouri. had been ig-
nored. These States, he said, are ex-
pected to produce raw materials for

suggested by him that the course pur-
sued by the Republican leaders in the
Senate might drive these States into
the Democratic column.
Referring to the fact that he had
always been Identified with the Repub-
