NOTES AND OPINIONS.
THE BUREAU OF PARTISAN STA
TISTICS
(New York Journal of Commerce


CNew York Journal of Commerce.
We observe With satisfaction that
the trade between the United States
and Porto Rico was about twice as
great in May. 1900. as it was in May.
1897 but we regret that the Bureau OF
statistics should have sent out cir
cular stating that the effect of the
new Porto Rican tariff act is plainly
perceptible in the commerce between
the United States and that island dur
ing the month of May" If this were
perfectly true. and evidently so on it's
face, II would not be proper for the
bureau to state it. The function of
the bureau is to supply the facts re-
sarding our external commerce, and
not to thcoriZe or even comment upon
the causes Of its changes The value
OF the Bureau of Statistics is directly
proportional To it's freedom from no.
litical influence. If il is to he used
for the manufacture and circulation Of
Republican campaign literature its
statistics will cease TO he valuable
The determination to use this bureau
as n factory of campaign literature
for the Republican party has already
injured it, and il will be entirely dis
credited if it puts out such statements
as that regarding Porto Rican trade
1t is enough for the bureau 10 state
what the trade was in May, 1900. and
in May, 1899; there are plenty of other
people to draw differences and make
their comments.

that trade has not followed the flag
very perceptibly in the Philippines. The
total of imports at Manila for the past
year was Sl7.A5o.4l2. of which $780,
SCi was from the United States. To
the whole of the Philippines in the

following were some of the items:
Horses and mules for the army. SAL

malt liquors. Si74.129; distilled liquors,

therefore, less than a million dollars

1t was argued by the delegation that
they would be driven out OF business by
the new company. They represented that
the special watchmen were commissioned
by the District Commissioners to act as
guardians Of property, while the new com

was shown that a bill recently introduced
in the House asking that the District Pa
troll and Alarm Company be authorized
practically as a separate police force, was
reported on adversely by the Commission
ers.
Major Sylvester informed the delegation
that he had followed the service of the
special watchmen closely, and was salts
fed with It, He said he was opposed to the
granting of police power TO the new COM
pany. and gave assurance that the pro-
posed scheme would not receive the en-
dorsement of the local authorities. Major
Sylvester stated that he could see no rea-
son why old and faithful watchmen should
be supplanted by persons whom the pro
posed company should see fit TO employ.
