which will be the test.
Notices are being sent out by Re
publican Whip Dwight for every Re
publican member of the house to be in

FILIPINO SPEAKS ON TARIFF
Protests Against Certain Provlelone of
Payne Bill.
Washington, April 3.—The voice of
the Filipino for the first time was
heard in the legislative halls of con
gress It was a voire raised in pro
test against the system of free trade
Which the Payne bill seeks to estab
lish with the Philippines.
Standing in his place in the house
of representatives Pablo Ocampo de
Leon, resident commissioner from the
far off island possessions of the Unit
ed States, criticised the proposition
for free trade, because, he said, it
would cause a decrease in the rev
enues of the islands and act upon th%
trusts in such a way as to precludt
the possibility of Independence.
Speaking for the Filipinos and voicing
their sentiments Mr Ocampo de Leon
pk aded for such independence.
At the conclusion of Mr. Ocampo de
Leon's remarks Mr. Qoulden (N. Y.)
made the statement that at a public
dinner In Washington, before he wafi
president, Mr. Taft declared that when
he went to the Philippines he was
credibly Informed that if he could get
the influence and active support of
Mr. Ocampo de Leon he would have
no trouble In pacifying the Filipino
people.
'Are they pacified now?" a voice on
the Republican side was heard to say.
"They are pacified," was Mr.
QouUlen's reply to his unknown que*
tioner.
Plead* for Free Hides.
Mr. Young (N. Y.) urged the plac
ing of hides on the free list. "The
duty has been a handicap on our in
dustry for twelve years," he said.
"Before the passage of the Dingley
bill the tanning business of this eoun
try was in a healthy condition, but
since the imposition of the duty the
independent tanners, who were de
pendent on the home trade, have be
come discouraged and many of them
have piinply become workmen for the
monopoly wli^Ji the duty created."

duced in that section," said Mr. Spirit
of Mississippi. If, he argued, the
bill would put shoes on the free list
its framers would not be so glaringly
inconsistent.
The bill, in the opinion of Mr. Bow
ers of Mississippi, did not honestly
redeem the Republican pledges. He
said certain favored interests had
been cared for, while the necessaries
of life had been taxed out of propor
tion.
Mr. Ransdell of Louisiana pleaded
for a duty of 5% cents a pound on
cotton importations, deprecated the
free entry of Philippine sugar and de
fended the policy ol Gifford Piachot
in regard to the conservation of the
forests.
