CURRENCY QUESTION IN PHILIPPINES


The Currency Question in the Philippines is
the title OF article by l.. Carroll Root in the
March number Of Sound Currency" The history
Of the currency system of the Philippine Islands is
given in considerable detail. the information being
derived mainly from official sources The none
tary standard originally gold, but the
coinage system was ''biInetaIlic' the standard be-
came silver about 1882 owing the fall in the
price of that metal. The article explains the diff
sion and our Military Government there in their
efforts to maintain q stable par Of exchange be-
tween United States money and the local currency,
and discusses the chief proposals which have been
put forward a solution of the monetary prob
lens The most interesting of these suggested
plans and perhaps the which appears to have
the greatest weight Of authority. is the proposal
that until there is some evidence that the people
of the islands desire the gold standard. provision
standards side by side. Though this IS something
which is impossible where the monetary
terms are applied to coins Of the two metals. Mr..
Root shows in this article how IL would be quite
feasible 10 employ the two standards without con-
fusion by the simple eXpedent OF using the span
81 pesos and ''centavoS' when referring
o local currency. on the silver basis, ana the
terms dollars and cents when referring
money or prices the gold basis-i e., in United
States money. Under this plan there would, OF
course. be fixed ratio between the two systems.
The merit claimed for the plan is that II would
the gold standard given 10 those who pre-
fer 10 base their business upon silver, ana would
thus leave the people in a position TO gradually
adopt the gold standard II they found 1t preferable

The theory is that the Premier. owing to the proX-
unity OF Marseiles to Toulon fears the Marseles

government TO support them in the recent strike
might organize hostile demonstration either in

Meanwhile. the situation has not been changed

and the masters to-day. The masters persist IN
their refusal discuss day OF eight hours which
has all along been regarded by the strikers the
crucial point I'm the dispute.
In spite of the increasing number OF free lockers
working. quantities Of pertshable goods lie
awaiting discharge The strike and the continued
suspension Of most dock work has done enormous
injury 20 the commerce and industry or Marseiles.
The calculations snow an industrial loss OF some
25cOOO0 francs, while the men have lost more than
100000 francs IN wages.
curious illustration OF the bitterness which the
strike has tuEendered between the men and the
masters Is in the fact that the strikers in
