never get any gold back in change
if your purchase anything in a
store and throw down twenty
dollar gold piece, and if your pur-
chase only amounts to one dollar
the merchant will invariably be-
gin to scoop out the change in do
! bic dollars and if you inform him
that YOU did not have your grip
sack along today and that you
would like to have light money
he will give you green backs, but
it is out Of the question to ever
expect any gold back in change.
| 1t would be waste of breath for
! Mr.. Bryan to talk to the Filiplnos
! and Chinese about the free coinage
of silver for they are tooth and
toe nail for gold standard. We
have here demonstrated to us the
free coinage of silver to the entire
satisfaction Of every woman, man
and child on the Philippine Is
lands and tho result has been that
gold has gone up and silver
down, and anyone wishing to OBJ
tain further knowledge of free
silver, political economy and tln-
ance should lose no time IN TAX
ing advantage of the opportunities
that now present themselves even
to the plainest of minds.
Well, | am glad | have lived
long enough to see the old thread-
bare political issue, viz: free col
mage of silver demonstrated in ITS
every phase and all of its intrl-
cate workings and pecullarltles
that have heretofore been q mat
ter of speculation by both the
Democratic and Republican par
ties and for some time has been
made the main Issue between the
two parties. but we have seen 1T
tried and proven to be n grand
failure, and we people of the tar
away Philippine islands can only
regard it as dead issue, and as
for trust which seems to absorb
the attention of the wise men of
both the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties which they have
agreed to disagree upon, is anoth-
er mather which the political situ-
alton here affords a splendid op-
portunity to make some observa-
tions of the characteristics of the
| internal and external workings
which has given me some very
conclusive ideas. Now we have no
trust here Or monopoly which |
think is the two words have a
meaning ,Ibut thatis small matter
in this instance, which for the
sake of argument we will suppose
is one and the same word. Mon
opoly has been the means of build
ing up the enoGmOus commerce
of the United States for the sim
pie reason foreign manufacturing
establishments could not compete
with our gigantic manufacturing
monopol:es, which had to have a
market for their manufactured
products, and in order to place
their products on the foreign mar
kets they had to compete with all
of Europe who had to monopol-
lied the worlds commerce until
our American gigantic monopolle-
excelled them in manufacturing
and offered superior article and
are increasing the commerce of
the United States far beyond all
expectations, and by being able to
supply the worlds market with a
great portion Of its manufactured
products; which gave employ
ment to our Iaboring classes at
home and has hoisted the Stars and
Stripes to the mast head of ouI
merchant ships that are to be seen
in every seaport on the globe. 1t
| has been the monopolies Of Am
erica that has given impulse and
direction to the conditions that
| has made the United States first
Iclass power among the nations
and in the very f"-e Of all OF TIL:
| Mr.. ". j. Bryan tells The people
that these disastrous mOnOpoHe'
that weighs like a hideous night
mare upon the Sleeping nation
and that he is the 7uaa :or the jOE
OF "shooting it of.
Well, | have made wider di
version that | inten4e1, but. how
ever, it may be opportuue to men
ton here that We Nano some tIus
OF monopoly here fs.m the Unit
led States as soon IS possible anC
the sooner the better We do no
care whether thcy re Democratic
OF Republican 50 long Us thel
viii whoop up th'rrs here in gooC
! old American style for things are
even too slow here TO suit Bryan
+! if he was here. In fact some OF
the small islands that only have &
few thousand population would
be good place for Mr. Bryan to
try some Of his wild cat schemes
on a small scale = see how they
would work, and if he failed nc
one but a few aborigones would
suffer in consequence.
| will now make q few remarks
about the gallant 29th Infantry,
which Is somewhat scattered
Companies, A, B, G, X, w, and
E are at present on the north
| inc about five miles north o.
Manila. and D Company is do
ing provost duty in Manila, and
Company L is in the northern
portion of the Island of Lu-
zon with Maj Johnson's Batal-
lion. Maj. Hawthorne is in com
mand of the 2nd Battalion. which
| is stationed at La Lama church
