Captain Moreu asserts that all the ships

The Future of the Philippines.

Referring TO the commercial status Of
the Philippines. Capt Il. /. Street, who
has just returned from the islands. is
quoted rs saying:
Wake tho Philippines the same as Porto
Rico, take of tire tariff on hemp, rice. lumber,
and otAsr products o' the island. aI.a with the

o wonderful advance ia both since American
occupation There ie yet room COR a greater rise
and ever tHiHg points 10 ,bat direction"
This is straight in line with the views
Of every fair-minded and intelligent o.
server who is in anywise familiar with
the situation. 1t is probably the view
Of an overwhelming majority Of the
American people. As a mere CONNER
cial proposition the argument is uuan-
swerabIe. There is. in fact. nothing 20
