AFFAIRS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Our Forces Successfully Control the Great
er Part of the Islands.

In my last annual message l dwelt at
some length upon the condition of af-
fairs in the Philippines. While seek
ing to impress upon you that the grave
responsibility of the future govern
ment of those islands rests with the
congress of the United States, 1 alb
stained from recommending at that
time specific and final form of gov
eminent for the territory actually held
by the United States forces and in
which as long as instruction contin-
ues the military arm must necessarily
be supreme. l stated my purpose, un-
til the congress shall have made known
the formal expression of its will, to use
the authority vested in me by the con-
stitution and the statutes to uphold the
sovereignty Of the United States in
those distant islands as in all other
placing, to that end, at the disposal Of
the army and navy all the means
which the liberality of the congress
and the people have provided. No con-
traTy expression of the will of the con-
gress having been made, have stead
lastly pursued the purpose so declared,
employing the civil arm as well toward
the accomplishment of pacification and
the institution of local governments
within the lines of authority and law.
Progress in the hoped-for direction
has been favorable. Our forces have
successfully controlled the greater part
of the islands, overcoming the organ
ICED forces of the insurgents and car
rying order and administrative regular
ity to all quarters What opposition
remains is for the most part scattered,
obeying no concerted plan of strategic
action, operating only by the methods
common to the traditions of guerrilla
warfare, which. while ineffective to al
ter the general control now established,
are still sufficient to beget insecurity
among the populations that have felt
the good results of our control and
thus delay the conferment upon them
of the fuller measures of local self-gov-
eminent, of education, and of industrial
and agricultural development which we
stand ready to give them

tive opposition Of the dissatisfied Ia

States was virtually ended. thus OPEN

1897 of sS43, 4S9, 526, and greater than 1896

The growth of manufactures in the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that exports Of manufactured products
largely exceed those of any previous
year, their value for 1900 being s433, S51, :
756. against $339, 592146 in 1899, an in
crease of IS per cent.
Agricultural products We're also ex-
ported during 1900 in greater volume
than in 1899. the total for the year be-
ing $685., S5S,12 against S7S4,776,142 in
The imports for the year amounted
TO Ss49 941 1884, an increase over 1899 of
$152, 1872, 695. This increase is largely in
materials for manufacture, and is in
response to the rapid development Of
manufacturing in the United States
While there was imported for use in
manufactures in 1900 material to the
value of ST9.T6S,972 in excess of 1899. it
is reassuring to observe that there is a
tendency toward decrease in the i'm
portation of articles manufactured
ready for consumption, which in 1900
formed 1917 per cent. of the total i'm
ports. against 1854 per cent. in 1899
and 21.09 per cent. in 1885,
l recommend that congress at its
present session reduce the internal rev.
enue taxes imposd to meet the expenses
of the war with Spain in the sum of
S30,000,000. This reduction should be
secured by the remission of those taxes
which experience has shown to be the
most burdensome to the industries of
the people.

FINANCIAL ACT OF 1900.
Its Effect as to Modification of National
Banking Act Il Apparent,

The beneficial effect of the financial
act Of 1900, SO far as it relates to the
modlhcation of the national banking
act, Is already apparent. The provision
for the Incorporation of national banks
with a capital of not less than $25, 600 in
places not exceeding 5000 inhabitants
has resulted In the extension of bank
Ing facilities to many small commun-
tiles hitherto unable to provide them
selves with banking institutions under
the national system. There were or
ganized from the enactment of the law
up to and including Nov. 80, 1863 nations
al banks, of which 266 were with cap
ital less than $4,000, and 1O3 with capt.
tai Of $4,000 or more.
1t is worthy of mention that the
greater number of banks being organ
lied under the new law are in sections
where the need of banking facilities has
been most pronounced Iowa stands
first, with thirty banks of the smaller
class, while Texas, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory, and the middle and western
sections Of the country have also
awaited themselves largely of the priv
ileges under the new law
A large increase in national bank
note circulation has resulted from the
provision of the act which permits ma
tional banks to issue circulating notes
to the par value of the United States
bonds deposited az security instead Of
only so per cent. thereof, as heretofore.
The increase in circulating notes from
March IA to Nov. 30 is $T7,3S9,570.
The party in power is committed to
such Legislation as will better make the
currency responsive to the varying
needs Of business at all seasons and in
all sections.

THE QUESTION OF TRUSTS.
Every Phase of 1t Should Be Care fully
Studied by Can yreas.

In my last annual message to the
congress ! called attention to the neces-
sity for early action to remedy such
evils as might be found to exist in con-
nection with combinations of capital
organized into trusts, and again invite
attention to MY discussion of the sub
ject at that time, which concluded with
these words:
ut is apparent that uniformity Of
legislation upon this subject in the sew
eral states is much to be desired 1t is
to be hoped that such uniformity,
founded in a wise and just discrimina-
ton between what Is injurious and
what Is useful and necessary in bust
ness operations, may be obtained, and
that means may be found for the con-
gress, within the limitations Of its con-
stitutional power, SO to supplement an
effective code Of state legislation as
to make a complete system of laws
throughout the United States adequate
to compel general observance of the
salutary rules to which I have re-
ferred."
The whole question is SO important
and far-reaching that I am sure no
part of it will be lightly considered,
bat every phase of it will have the
studied deliberation of the congress,
resulting in wise and judicious action.
Restraint upon such combinations as
are injurious, and which are within
federal jurisdiction, should be promptly
applied by the congress.
