Church and state are both undermining
theic own power by excessive levies and ex-
cessive taxes. The big church in the center
of native village, with its gorgeous affairs
and priceless floats, whose figures are
clothed with the Costliest stuffs and jewels,
show where the drain on the community has
come on the one side. The arrests in Manila
streets of scores of native boys who cannot
produce their paid tax bills from their
pockets. the baking of enterprise by inn
posed restrictions, and the heavy charges
that exports have to stand, show where it
is weakened from the other side.
Church and state are both to blame for
tanning into flame the fires of discomfort
that have caused the kettle Of revolution to
boil over. The natives have risen and want
to throw the priestcraft and the tax col
lectors overheard: but until they are mighty
sure which is to be the winning side She
main body of the people will probably babe
their time and treacherously await events.
