Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure. etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need a few doses of

There is practically no insurgent
army in these islands. About a year
ago the last permanent sea of govern
ment of the insurgents was abandoned
and since then A%guinardo has carried
his government in his hat and has been
engaged in sprinting to keep away

that here as well as elsewhere, it is
necessary to pay some attention to
sanitary conditions; but with a mod
crate amount of care as to what you
eat and drink, frequent baths and the
avoidance of being out in extreme
storms and the wearing of damp

islands, for the entire year. The diff

it is safe to say that the records of
the office of the chief surgeon show
hat the health of the troops in the
field in these islands, has at all times
since American occupation, compared
favorably with that of troops in the
field, in large bodies, in various sec
tions of the United States. | think
there is no doubt whatever. hat there
has been less sickness amongst the
a whole, and a smaller percentage of
men carried on sick list than was the
case in the large camps at which
troops were assembled in the United
States during the Spanish-American
war. But of course, the percentage
of sickness amongst the civilians. who
are in town and able to take care of
themselves is much smaller than
amongst troops in the field.
Business Increasing.
Since American occupation of the
islands there has been a wonderful
increase in the business transacted
everywhere. This is. perhaps, best
shown by a consideration of the re-
ceipts of the custom house of the isl
ands in Spanish times as compared
with the receipts since the admins
tration of the customs affairs have
been in the hands of American Off
GERS. During the Spanish regime the
average custom receipts for the islands
amounted monthly to the sum of $4O4,-
and the largest receipts for
any M month during the entire Span
ish occupation of these islands amount
ed to s59S, SS3.67. The following ia
bic shows very conclusively the in
crease since the days of Spanish adj
1t will be interesting to
note that the receipts from all the
customs houses of the archipelago in
the month of August, 1900, are practi-
cally three times as great as the larg-
month during the entire history of
Spanish administration. In explana-
ton of this table it might be said hat
the ports mentioned are the only ones
in the Island at which foreign bust
as ENTRY" ports. There are a large
number of other ports in the islands
which are open for the coastwise trade
and for nothing else. They are known
as interior ports and collect no Gus
tom revenue.
, 1900-10-13

1T will be seen from the above that
the August receipts from the entire
islands are $42. 013.S0 greater than
ever before. 1t will be noticed that
the month of August fell off at the
City of Manila from the receipts for
the previous months. This was due to
the fact that for ten days during Au-
gust a typhoon ragged in Manila har-
Dor, which made it absolutely impos-
sible to unload any freight from any
boat, and therefore impossible to get
goods into the custom house and pass
them through. Had the entire month
of August been normal. so far as the
weather was concerned, the receipts
of the custom service at Manila
would have exceeded those for July
just as much as July exceeded June.
Collecting Duty.
This wonderful increase in revenue
is in part due, undoubtedly, to the
that at the present time under
American officers and employees of the
house service. the entire duty
is collected, and no goods are allowed
to pass through surreptitiously. The
administration Of the customs service
of the Philippine archipelago is as
clean and honest as any in the world.
But by far the major portion of the
growth is due to the m in
crease in the volume Of business and
the consequent enlargement of imports
and exports. This is c~onclusively
shown by the amount Of business
at the custom house in Ma
Mia. The Spaniards found that $50
feet of dock frontage was sufficient
to unload all of the freight received
the Manila custom house. and only
worked in the day time. The custor
house has $40 feet of wharf front.
age. an increase Of AZ per cent, and
yet in spite Of that it is Necessary to
work a considerable portion Of the
night in order to keep Eel with the
business. The freight is handled from
the wharves to the store houses or
godowns by means Of a narrow track
railroad which during the Spanish ad-
ministration was 1850 feet long. We
have added 900 feet, or 80 per cent, in
order to handle the increased volume
Of business. In the old days. the store
houses or godowns of the custom

now they cover e2,2s3 square feet, or

so.
Best Class Approve.
The disposition of the best class of
natives is to give the civil government
which is about to be established by
the commission, headed by Judge
Taft, a trial. This commission has
just taken hold of the legislative
branch ofaifairs out here. and have
simply promulgated their instructions
in that respect. and have not as yet
proceeded to the extent of making any
laws. Since their arrival. they have
been engaged in the effort to obtain
information from all sources practi-
cable.
The native character is IA peculiar
combination. Official integrity app
ears T. be practically an unknown
term amongst them. This is perhaps
due to their training under Il system
which was VIGOROUSLY. almost univcr
sally corrupt. They are more FOND
of mere pomp and glittcring of office
than of actual power. With very few
exceptions they are not to be relied
upo in any of the walks of life. OF
course, there are a few brilliant eXcep-
tons, which prove the rule. There are
in the islands to be found once and a
a while a man like Arellano, the pres
ident OF the supreme court, who would
be a credit to any country. both NOR
ally and intellectually. If he were a
fair sample of the natives of these
islands. there would be no question
as to their ability to establish Il gov
eminent for themselves. But unfort,
unately, he is the are exception. !
cannot name another man in the en-.
tire archipelago who deserves to be
placed in the same class with him.
The masses have no more idea of self.
government than children.

Licensed Vessels.
Since the first of January. 1900,
the military government has issued
licenses to vessels to engage in the
coastwise trade. Such licenses are of
three classes. 1). Those which per,
NIT vessels TO trade anywhere in the
archipelago: t2), those which permit
a vessel to trade in a limited district
specified in the license: and (3). those
which permit a vessel to trade be
tween the port at which the license is
issued and the nearby villages and
coastwise trading settlements. or
these classes of licenses. over one
thousand have been issued since Jan
uary first. This is largely in excess of
any number of similar licenses ever
issued during the years of the Spanish
reign and outstanding at one time.
There have been a large number of
vessels of various kinds purchased
abroad in the past eight months to
which licenses have been issued. and
still there is not shipping enough in
the islands to satisfactorily handle
the coastwise trade. The Campania

ferred to, vote. ur IL last meeting the

siderable fleet.
The Tariff.
THE tariff which is in operation
here is the old Spanish tariff with GER
tain notifications made necessary by
changed conditions. 1t has beer found
by practical experience, however, that
the changes have not been sufficiently
radical. and the tariff has not only
failed to produce as great a eel
as the amount of importations would
seem to indicate ought to be collected,
but hat it has borne with some degree
of severity upon the poorer classes
and has not been entirely fair toward
the American products. particularly

THE report of the director of the mint for 1898 contains some curious facts in regard to silver production throughout the world. showing that the annual output heretofore has been placed l5 To 20 per cent too high. Thus he production of 1898 is now stated to to have been only l51. .000,O ,OO0 ounces instead of l6S. .000 as was formerly stated. while that of 1897 is placed at l64. 0O0.000 ounces instead of lS3,000.- GOO. The cause of the error is not far 10 seek. The figures for Australia and South America have always been most uncertain. The Australian figures have been official, but have always in cluded large amount of silver lead ore, whose value was given, but not it's weight Tn fine ounces. This value in- cluded the value of the lead and not of the silver alone. and of course set at naught all calculations as to the weight of pure silver produced. This fact was suspected by the mint bureau for some years, but it was only last summer that it was possible to get the real value of the silver, which was found to be from 20 to p percent less than had been sup posed. As regards South America the case was widely different. Practically no statistics are collected by the gov ernments of that part of the world and the product has been estimated by add
