A PLEA FOR TOBACCO
GROWERS.

Speech of Hon. A. Owsley Stanley,
of Kentucky, in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, Monday, April S, 1909.
The House being in Committee of
the Whole House on the State Of the
Union and having under consideration
the bill (H. R. 1889 to provide re-
venue, equalize duties, and encourage
the industries Of the United States,
and for other purposes
Mr.. Stanley said:
Mr.. Chairman: I rise to discuss a
part Of this tariff bill which is more
than political. For justice all places
a temple, and all seasons summer;
and in the name of common justice
demand Of the Ways and Means
Committee either that they bring in
an amendment taking the tax off Of
leaf tobacco in the hand Of the far
mer or that some man who refuses to
do it have the courage, the manhood,
the respect that is due the committee
and the people to rise on this floor
and defend his act and defend the
justice Of that tax. Mr.. Chairman,
this tax will, sooner or later, be the
hardest thing you will have to de-
fend. When the cry is abroad in the
land that this bill is a cunningly de-
vised plan to help the rich and op-
press the poor, to aid the strong and
to burden the weak, then this one lit
tie schedule will rise like Banquo S
ghost, and it will not down. Gap
plause on the Democratic side.)
Mr.. Chairman, for many years there
has been concealed a joker in your
tariff bills. There is a provision to-
day in the revenue laws providing
that tobacco in the hand, just as the
farmer raises it, without any process
Of manufacture at all, just as it
comes from the stalk, is manufac-
tured tobacco and subject to an in
ternal revenue tax Of cents a pound
until you get enough Of those leaves
together, manufactured in any way,
to amount to 1900 pounds and to fill
a hogshead, and then it is tobacco in
the natural leaf and can be sold by
whoever purchases or whoever wants
it. Both in the hands of the vendee
and in the hands Of the vendor it is
absolutely free from tax, but the man
who raises that tobacco can not sell it
in small quantities unless he sells it
to some manufacturer or broker. The
result is that the tobacco that is
raised must go through this so-called
"process of manufacture. Now, for
the purpose of smoking-pipe tobacco
the natural leaf is not improved by
manufacture, and the manufacturers
before the Finance Committee of the
Senate all admit that today the great
est problem they have to confront
them is how to make their tobacco as
much like the natural leaf as possible.

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire
Washington, ID. c., Dec 12.-Citi-
zenship, without serious Inconvenience,
to the individual. should be extended
to those who desire it in Porto Rico
cording to General Clarence 2. Ed.
wards, chief of the bureau of insulal
affairs, in his annual report today to
the secretary of war.
Whether this be done by an act con-
ferring in itself United States citizen
ship on the whole body of citizens OF
Porto Rico, or by an act enabling
them by the performance individually
of some simple preliminary acts to
become American citizens without de-
lay, is a mere matter of detail for con-
gress to work out, said General Ed
wards.
1T is hoped that the grant of citi-
zenship may be regarded simply as
an act Of justice and performed in an
open and unequivoCal manner con-
cludes the chief of the bureau
The commerce of the island shows

THE net result so far has been to
increase the price paid to the grower
for his leaf tobacco ten per cent, The
price received by the producer of
sugar has increased twenty-five per
rent. These are increases which may
be attributed wholly to the true trade .
relations, fluctuations in the worlds 5
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 100000
per year, or one-half the limit for free
admission. The effect on the Ameri-
can industry, he adds, of this importa-
lion may well be judged by the fact
that these cigars may be found only
With the greatest difficulty"
The imports of the Philippines dur
ng the last fiscal year, was over S27,-
poe, 600. American goods constituted
seventeen per cent Of the total value

will be largely increased.
