The Senators should not be misled by afiy mistaken feelings of chivalry or generosity toward the Filipinos. This legislationand I speak advisedly and deliberatelyis not in the interest of the Filipinos at all. They will reap little. if "ny. substantial benefit from It. The cigar industry in the Philippine Islands is in the course of being exploited on a gigantic scale by Alnerican and British capital and with the aid of Chinese coolie rather than Philippine labor. The benefits of unrestricted free trade will not go to the building up of the general prosperity of the Philippine Islands. It will go into the pockets of these capitalists.
