Tariff for Filipinos Explained Opens Islands to Trade
Republican leader Sereno E. Payne urged passage of the Philippine tariff bill. He argued the measure would admit Philippine sugar and tobacco free of duty while taxing other imports, foster American sugar and tobacco industries, and create a free trade relationship with the United States by April 11, 1909, enabling the Philippines to fund government needs while expanding the Oriental cigar trade.
