WANTS CONSTITUTION AMENDED Says Our Treatment of the Philippine Islands Has Not Been rai Wants to Enlist Sympathy of Missouri in -Effort to Rerise Laws Wants Free" Trade , With the Islands Says We Should Show Good Faith. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 20. Secretary Tait as the ixest of honor at the an nual banquet of tluj Commercial elob ail, in r-?poniling to the toast "The rhilipjunes:" :. Tbe Philippines are ours and must le ours for a generation. It is quite ' probablj that those 1 who will be called upon to act as legislators wilfi not live tiAwe the day wh;n a separation, consistent with the welfare of the Philippines can be made." The occasion of the banquet- was the an niversary of the signing of the John Jay commercial treaty. ThousanbV of persons greeted the se'er-tary during the day ami everywhere he was given the most enthusiastic reception, lie left for Chicago immediately after din ner. Henator Warner aeteti as toast master. The secretary wa givn an ovation wh.n he arose to speak. Mr. Taft said in part: 'ln all the legislation for which eon- Zrea is responsible affecting the Phii- ippins islands : there are but two acts whitfh can be criticized an havinz a wTnsh motive. "One is what we might rail the coastwise act, the effect of which is to require that after July 1, lOOfi, all freight from the Philippine islands to the United States and the reverse shall lie carried in American lottoms and the other is the law by which then is iinjiosed on products of the Philippine islands corning into the United States 75 per cent of the Ding ley rates. Jf the coastwise act is per mitted to come into effect, and the tax upon I'hiiippine products w not remov ed, we have congress assuming the ut terly indefensible pos'tion that for thC purjwse of the sal-j- of the Philippine products by the Filipinos the Philip pines shall be regarded as , treated as 3 foreign country, while for the pur pose of furnishing business to ' the American merchant marine they shall he treated as a. domestic country and shall be made to pay the higher rates of freight which such a coastwise provision-' necessarily entails and implies. "The object of my coming to jvan tas City is to enlist your sympathy in an effort so t amend the constitution in otir statute books' so that we shall lc consistent in our treatment of the Philippines and shall repeal laws which will give th.- lie to every assertion of disinterestedness and food faith in our dealing with our wards of tne Pacific. "The legislation proposed for the re lief of the FhilipHnes is an act post poning the application of the coastwise trading laws to the trade, between the Philippine islands and the United States until VMM, the reduction of the tariff on. sugar and tobacco from per cent to 25.1"r r"t tf the Dng'y rates and on 'other products of the Philippines, free trale until 19, when there shall be complete free trade in the products of either.' Secretary Taft snid that tho two in terests in this country arrayed in op position to free trad? with the Philip pine, islands are the sugar interest ami the tobacco interest. I hes are inter ested on th? ground that all the bene fit and all th gmMl whim the country proposes to confer njwn the Philippines would result solely in an injury) to the sugar and tobacco interests and at their exjiense alone, without any cost to the rest of the country, "It will be found," said he, "that thes complaining interests are not ob H'tinjf to this measure of justice to the Uhilippines because it is going to cause them immediate loss but leeauae tney suppose in years to come, with the en couragement that the! American market will Rive to the prnhiction of tobacco and sugar in the Philippines theremay come a time when the tobacco and 'su gar from the Philippines will enter into competition with that which tney pro dnc in this coiintry. The attitude of these men,, who really know the facts, cannot be describe JT ns other than the quintessence of nclnshoess in opposing the graihml betterment 01 the proine tion of sugar and tobacco in the Phil ippines by opening the American mar ket, when their feaf t injury is found ed on presumption most improbable." He kc fared 1 that nnl-ss the Philip pines, importations J into ike United States roust increase from less than 50,000 tons as it now is to 1,800,000 tons, it will not affect the price at wlikh sugar will b sold fn the' United States. "But it is said," he contin ned, "that i.f yon. open the markets of j the United 'states to .the Philippines sugar the increase in its production will be unlimited and no one can say howi enormons ' ths s Philippines production will become. " The greatest amount of sugar ever prondced for exportation in the Philippines was in 1893, when the total exportation reached 260.000 tons. The total consumed in the Philippines i about 30,000 tons. Now the proposi tion that the American market, is going to- offer such a motive for the produc tion of sugar in the Philippine islands as to increase its exportation from 100,000 tons a year to 1,800,000 tons is palpably bsrd. " Other toasts responded to were as OPERA BEGINS IN GOTHAM.. Wealth, Fashion and Beauty, Gather at Metropolitan. Opera House for Opening Night. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
