WHAT \ MERCHANT HAS TO SAY
ABOUT IT.
Nationality of the Firms Engaged in
Business The Chinese Storekeepers
Monopolize the Retail Trade.

From an interview with merchant
OF Manila, Consul Prudential is en-
abled to give the exporters of the
United States certain points which
may be of value to business men who
intend to enter the field there. lie
says
The Philippines contain over seven
million inhabitants. The Chinese,
who are in the majority amongst the
aliens, control the retail trade, while
next to them come the Spanish deal
ers. 1t is estimated that there are
about three hundred other Europeans
in business in the whole group. The
richest dealers are the creoles and the
mestizos, a combination of Chinese
and Tagalese
In Manila there are many large ci-
gar factories, some of which en-
ploy as many as 1000 hands. A few
! German, Swiss and English firms also
! have entered that field. There is al
so sugar refinery. Il steam rice mill.
a Spanish electrical plant, a Spanish
telephone exchange, Spanish tram
way, worked partly by steam and in
part by horse power; rope factories,
worked mostly by hand Ca few use OK
en-; a Spanish brewery, which fur
nishes good beer: a German cement
factory with seventy hands; Swiss
umbrella factory, and a Swiss hat fac
tory, which makes felt and straw ar
ticles, the latter out of Chinese straw
braid. \ cotton mill with 5000 spin
dies and with English capital of 40
600 pounds, is in course of erection.
European firms in Manila are di-
vided as follows: 45 Spanish, 10 Ger
man, II English, 2 English and 6
Swiss brokers, . French storekeepers
with large establishments, / Dutch
and l Belgian. Small retail stores. 40
in number, are kept by Chinese firms.
The German and Swiss firms are gen
eral importers, while the export of
hemp and sugar, the import of domes-
tic dry goods, and the ship chandlery
trade are in the hands of the English.
Credit from one to three months and
5 per cent is given, while spot cash
sales command a discount of 7 per
cent Caution is advised in dealing
with the Chinese merchants, as Ma
Mia has no mercantile register like
Hongkong.

TO AGUINALDO,

Say, Aguinaldo,
You little, measley
Malay moke,
What's the matter with you?
Don't you know enough
To know
That when you don't see
Freedom,
lnalienable rights.
The American eagle,
The Fourth of July.
The Star Spangled Banner,
And the Palladium of your Liberties,
All you've got to do is to ask for
them?
Are you a natural born chump
Or did you catch it from the Span
iards?
You amt bigger
Than a piece of soap
After a days washing,
But, by gravy, you
Seem to think
You're a bigger man
Than Uncle Sam.
You ought to be shrunk,
Young fellow;
And if you don't
Demalayize yourself
And catch on
To your golden, glorious opportuni-
ties,
Something's going to happen to you.
You'd better
Fall into the
Procession of Progress
And go marching on to glory,
Before you fall
Into hole in the ground.
