viii be based upon that section which
deals with the Philippine question.
1.-THE negotiation of the treaty, IN
fortunate as it is said the senator to-
day, by no means insures the actual
annexation of the Philippine islands. 1t
is uncertain when the treaty will be
signed, or when it will be submitted to
the senate. ana still more uncertain
whether i will ever be ratified. The
responsibility is so vast, and the So
licitude of the public is so great that
ample time will be given to its discus
sion and to getting the real facts be-
fore the American people.
Many things will be found out which
are not now known, and the evils of
the proposed annexation will so grow
upon the public mind, and upon con-
gress, and upon the president, that it
is by no means unlikely that within
six months or a year everybody, in
stead of being for annexation of the
islands, will want to get rid of them.
THE people of the United States will
find out that the commerce of the Phil
ippines is very limited in extent; that
they are inhabited by a people whose
habits and wants forbid an increase
of trade and that under the scheme
of annexation presented to us this trade
is to be shared equally with Spain and
all other competing nations. What is
called the open door policy, cuts down
the interest of the United States in the
Philippine trade to point where it
makes no figure in our commerce. The
entire trade of the islands, if we had
it all-not the profit derived from it,
but the whole amount of trade-will
not in any year pay the expenses of tho
army and the navy that the United
States viii be obliged to maintain

ever, when asked concerning a possible
union OF the eastern and western fac
tions of Democracy, he was emphatic
in denying his interest in any such eff
fort Croker and Tammany in the
east, in his opinion, were the cause of
the recent defeat of the Democrats.
1--WE feei," he said, that so far as
the national Democracy is concerned,
it's principles can only be subSerVed by
a negation of things for which Tam
many stands: and we feel that the
cause OF Democracy's decadence since
'92 has been due to the confusion Gre
ated by attempted blending of the So
called Tammany Democracy with the
national Democracy. The Chicago plat
form, in its proper shape, represents
what the west regards as orthodox De-
mocracy. The convention of 1896 has
done more to renew the confidence of
the common people in the Democratic
party and it's purposes and motives
than anything that has been done by
that party since the rebellion. The
purpose of western Democrats, without
exception, is to renew the pledges of
1896, and organize upon that basis,
firmly. convinced that they are bound
ultimately to triumph. So far as the
Rocky Mountain region is concerned,
and the states lying west of it, with
the exception of oregon, they will cast
their votes solid for the candidate who
may be nominated by that party in
1900, upon such a platform.
Speaking for my own state, I think
l can say with perfect proDriety that
it is out of the Republican column so
long as it stands for the st. Louis plat
form, and nothing can change this
condition except a surrender of the
Democrats to the forces which con-
trolled it prior to 1896. Its electoral

Washington, Dec. 2.-Mr. Edward W.
Harden. who was appointed in Aug
ust last commissioner OF the United
States to make an investigation of the
financial and industrial conditions in
the Philippines, has made his report
10 the secretary of the treasury, in the
COURSE Of which he says:
Silver is the basis Of the currency
in the Philippines. There is no gold IN
general circulation, and has been none
for more than twenty years. The Mex
lean dollar of a date previous to 1877
is current ia the islands and it is prac-
tically the only money in general cir
culation The Spanish government, in
the summer Of 1897. coined S6,0OO,OO0 Of
silver IN a local currency. which was
sent to the islands. These dollars are
lighter in weight than the Mexican
dollars but the scarcity of money in
the Philippine islands caused them tC
be quickly absorbed. There is a loc7l

the old Spanish silver dollar. the latter

Previous to 1873 the silver was often al
a premium over gold. When silver be-
gan to depreciate in value, the gold
coin was rapidly exported and replaced
by the Mexican dollar, which has for a
long time been in general use through
OUT the orient. Gold became so scarce
through the export Of the gold coin.
and the silver was taking its place SC

took steps to stop the expectation Of the

the spring Of 1873 an edict was issued
from Madrid. prohibiting the import OF

queut TO 1877. This law was maintained
until the control of the islands passed

H. G. WHITNEY'S CAREER.
n. G. Whitney, at the age of 10, de-
veloped a fondness for writing, which
brought about his connection with The
Herald, and subsequently the develop

city editor of this paper in 1884 he ere
ated Dramatic and Lyric. the first
theatrical column in Salt Lake City.
and which is still edited by him. His
business tact and energy pushed him

Mr. Whitney is now manager for H.

connected more or less with innumer-
able concerns in this and other cities,
in all of which he has met with emf

Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual re-
port Of Secretary Alger is a practically
complete official history of the Span
ish-American war. The secretary has
given to the public not only all the Off
cial dispatches that passed directly be-
tween his own office and commanding
officers in the field and camps, but has
supplemented these with short explain
atory notes, setting forth the reasons
for various movements, and then. to
complete the record of events. he has
included in the body of his report, the
report of General Miles, of all the gen
erals who participated in the campaign
in Cuba, Puerto Rico, or the Philip
pines, and finally, the reports of all
of the bureau officers of the war de-
partment. Nowhere is there shown a
disposition to criticise. the official dis
patches being allowed to tell their own
story, and generally, the secretary finds
much to praise and cause for sincere
cOngratulatiOn in the results obtained.
The report proper begins with what
may be described as a chronological
| history of the war, consisting of a num-
Der of short paragraphs, beginning
with the declaration of war on April 81
and setting forth the date upon which
making no comment whatever upon the
facts. The only exception to this rule
is in a reference to the casualties of
Santiago. Some criticism having been
made that there was lack of surgeons
present, the report states that there
were 40 surgeons in attendance and
that of 1.4S1 wounded. only thirteen
died of their wounds.
