CONGRESS. (THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.) 



on America means spoliation. Let them feel 

 that we are their friends, not their foes; that our 

 purposes are to aid them, not to despoil them; 

 to encourage, and not to retard them." 



Mr. Littlefield, of Maine, opposed the measure, 

 but he made his argument against the soundness 

 of the recent Supreme Court decision in the is- 

 land cases. The debate tended, among other 

 speakers on both sides, toward the discussion of 

 the policy of a colonial system.

The discussion in the Senate took a wide range, 

 going so far afield that no little time was spent 

 in reviewing the record of various colonies in the 

 Revolutionary War. The main attack on the 

 measure, however, was in regard to the transfer 

 of the powers of Congress to the Executive, and 

 through him to the Philippine Commission, made 

 the previous year in an amendment to an appro- 

 priation bill. The Senate amendments to this 

 tariff act reduced the duty on goods from the 

 Philippine Islands imported into the United 

 States 25 per cent, on the regular rates; allowed 

 a rebate on goods paying export duty from the 

 islands to the extent of that duty, regulated the 

 coast-trade, and provided safeguards for individ- 

 ual rights. The House non-concurred on these 

 amendments, a conference committee was ap- 

 pointed, and its report was adopted. March 1 

 and March 3. The measure was approved by 

 the President March 8, 1902. The text of it is a* 

 follows: 



" Be it enacted ?>// tlie Senate and House of 

 Reprrxcntatin'x of tin 1 I'nifcd States of Amt'rira- 

 in Coiii/rrxx (ixxrnihled, That the provisions of an 

 act entitled ' An Act to revise and amend the 

 tariff laws of the Philippine Archipelago,' en- 

 acted by the United States Philippine Commis- 

 sion on the 17th day of September, 1901. shall be 

 and remain in full force and effect, and there 

 shall be levied, collected, and paid upon all articles
