Modesto Reyes writes to Secretary of War Taft about a tariff reduction on goods from the Philippines. Reyes goes on to discuss some of the difficulties facing agriculture and the market for Filipino goods; such as China including goods from the Philippines in their boycott of American goods and the hostility of the American market. Reyes hopes Taft has success in obtaining “justice for the Philippines in the question of the tariff.”
