PAYNE TARIFF
INCREASES TRADE
WITH PHILIPPINES
Imports for Fifteen Months In
crease to Double Amount I'M
der Old Measure.

WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-That the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law has tended to
increase the trade between the United
States and the Philippines is exempli-
fed by figures compiled by the bureau
of statistics. Permitting an inter
change free of duty of practically all
articles passing between this country
and the islands, trade between the
United States and the Philippines has
practically doubled.
The total value of imports from the
islands for the first fifteen months
operation of the new law amounted to
2 1888. 1913, against $11. 600. 900 for the
fifteen months Immediately preceding
its enactment. Exports to the islands
for the fifteen months since the new
tariff has been in effect were valued at
SIS, 500. 900, against s12. 50o, 900 for the
preceding fifteen months.
