Philippine Finances Must Remain the
Same With Balance on Asia
on Silver Standard.

Mr.. Edward w. Harden, who was ap-
pointed in August last an honorary COM
missioner of the United States to make
an investigation of the financial and in
dustrial condition in the Philippines
Islands, has made his report to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in the course of
which he says:
"Silver is the basis of the currency in
the Philippine Islands. There is no gold
in general circulation and has been none
for more than twenty years. The Mexican
dollar of date previous to 1877 is current
in the islands, and it is practically the
only money in general circulation. The
Spanish government, in the summer of
1897 coined SIS, 900. 600 of silver in local
currency, which was sent to the islands
These dollars are lighter in weight than
the Mexican dollar, but the scarcity of
money in the Philippine Islands caused
them to be quickly absorbed There is a
local note-issuing bank called the Banco
Espanol Filipino, which has in circulation
notes based Oh silver. of which there was
outstanding on September 80, 1898,
approximately s., 500 900.
THE amount Of money needed for the
trade and commerce of the islands fuct-
yates i'll the different seasons In the
height of the summer season-say from
February to June, when large amounts of
sugar are exported-there is a sharp in
crease in the demand for money. For
the ordinary needs of the country little
money is used, as the credit system is in
vogue throughout the islands, and there
is. therefore, no great amount of money
needed for the payment of wages to the
-aboring classes. In the far off season,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1898-12-16

when exports are light, the demand for
money would become so small that the
circulating medium would be found to be
much more than sufficient for the needs
of the country.
"Of the $4,000, 900 in Philippine dollars
coined by the Spanish government and
sent out a year ago only small percent
age is now in Manila. 1t is estimated
there is in circulation $4,000, 900 of sub
sidiary coins, the 10. cent, the 2o-cent and
5o-cent pieces, which have been recoined
from Mexican dollars by the Spanish gov
,, ernment. The estimate of the Mexican
dollars now in circulation, as given by
one of the best informed bankers in the
islands, is from $40, 900, 900 to SIS, 900, 900.
This, with the 81, 500, 900 of notes of the
the Banco Espanol Filipino now in cir
culation, constitutes the currency of the
islands. This would make total of from
$40, 900, 900 to $4,000, ooo speaking
roughly, for the entire islands, or approx
imately S. per capita for the total popu-
latiou of the islands These figures are
given on a silver basis and, therefore, in
! figuring on orr own standard all of these
figures must be cut in two.
"The question of the future currency of
the islands is one which is of vital i'm
portance to all business men in the islands.
The best informed men in Manila are
unanimous i'll their opinion that under
the present conditions the silver currency
is the only one suited to the islands. A
great deal of the trade of the Philippines
is with China and Japan, the Straits Set
Element, India, and Australia. In China
and i'll Japan, and in India, the whole
trade is on silver basis, though Japan
has adopted the gold standard, having,
however, as the basis of its currency a
gold dollar which is approximately worth
only so cents, and its currency, therefore,
in effect is on a silver basis

They profess to be very indignant at
what the President said i'll his message
about the blowing up of the Maine while
in one of their harbors on friendly
mission. They appeared to be highly
delighted at the time of the tragedy and
celebrated it with bull fight and royal
feast in Havana.

ShylOck on Guard.

Prof. Benjamin Andrews, ex-president
of Brown University, and now superin.
tendent of Chicago's schools, is charged
with trying to introduce the study of free
silver among the pupils. 1t was the OBJ
lection to his free silver views which re
suited in his retirement from Brown Uni,
versity. These objections, Superinten.
dent Andrews declares, are a bugaboo.
Commercial law and the money ques-
ton have been taught for long time in
the High School courses in political econ
omy, and there never has been any crit
icism," said Dr. Andrews. "The idea OF
education is to teach all views of subject,
and that the pupils should decide for
themselves which is the right ohe.'
The rich Shylocks are afraid of the
light. They hunted down and prosecuted
Prof. Andrews for explaining the science
of money in his lectures outside of the
college, till he was driven from the pres
idency of Brown University by pressure
on the trustees by the money oligarchy.
Now they are pursuing him as super
intendent of the public schools of Chicago
and using all of their wealth tyranny to
drive him from the position of superin-
tendent, because they fear that ;fthe boys
and girls are taught to understand the
true use and vocation of money, that
honest industry when informed will be
enabled to understand the methods-now
hidden from them-by which Shylock
flches from them the larger part of the
wealth that brain and Drawn create.
Free silver" does not count for any
more than free gold in the problem OF
finance. They are precisely the same,
scientifically considered. The sole OBJ
lection to "free silver" by Shylock is that
the metallic money of the world would be
doubled in quantity and made more diff
fcult to corner by the money trust OF
Europe and America.
If the science of money is taught in the
public schools, with the new Lighter
rather the extended light thrown on it by
recent discussions-the generation now
in the public schools will not be so easily
hoodwinked as the one now occupying
the stage. To keep all information on
the financial question from the people is
the object of the band of Shylocks that
are attempting to drive every honest and
we'll informed Professor and President
from the higher institutions of learning
and replace them with mercinary tools Of
their own choice. To keep the public in
darkness as far as possible, and mislead
them by sophical teaching. Shylock is
bending every effort to accomplish.
Nearly every large circulating newspaper
in the United States is owned or con.
trolled by the gigantic money trust and
is employed in misleading and confusing
the public on financial questions.
Silver coin circulates among the people
and stays with them. Cold does not and
cannot be forced into general circulation
Hence Shylock's choice of gold and wal
OH silver. Its place can be supplied by
the wildcat money of the banks and theil
phantom credit, both a steady drain OH
the wealth labor creates, through the
sucking tuber of interest.
