There are other kinds of grandparents

millions of dollars that may be
easily allured into American pock-
cts in the Philippines. In the
commercial sense of the phrase
these millions are to be had for the
asking. All that is necessary is
for our merchants to study the
tastes and needs of the natives of
these far. Eastern colonies and to
reap the financial results of this
investigation. AS many as possible
of the innumerable chances for
money-making in the Philippines
have already been fully explained
in Leslie's Weekly, and many
Americans have been inducted
thereby into prosperous careers.
The amazing fact, to any one
thoroughly conversant with affairs
in the islands, is that there has
not been stampede of American
capital in that direction.
In report recently published
by the War Department, concern
ing the profitable opportunities
that await both our large and our
small investors in the Philippines,
suggestions are made by Judge
Taft and his associates of the COM
mission that emphasize the posi-
bilities of easy money-earning ex-
plotted in these columns more than
a year ago. There is demand at
Manila and at other insular ports
for every kind of American manu-
featured article that is suitable for
use in the tropics. First among
the difficulties of Philippine com
merce have been the miserable
harbor facilities of that great centre
of distribution, Manila. The great
bay there is hardly more sheltered
than the open ocean, while the
Pasig River affords moorage only
to vessels of less than sixteen feet
draught. All the larger vessels
that enter the bay are compelled
to anchor between Cavite and Ma
Mia, while the unloading is done
by means of cascoes, native craft
resembling our canal
boats and of an average capacity
of twenty-five to forty tons. In
rough weather the work of light
ering into cascoes is necessarily
abandoned. This delay in landing
however, will disappear
in the near future, as Judge Taft's
has recently appropri-
ated a million dollars for the ex-
tension of the breakwater at the
mouth of the Pasig and for the
preliminary work of dredging.
At present, as the commission
points out, heavy profits may be
made by Americans who supply
vessels of light draught for trade
at Manila and all the other import
ant ports in the islands. In the
lnter-island trade a monopoly is
enjoyed by one Spanish steamship
which, under the provis-
ions of the treaty with Spain, was
permitted to secure American reg
istry for its vessels. These craft,
all of them small, and of CORE
spondingly light draught, are able
to enter harbors that are inacces-
sible to the average big American
steamship. Nor is this inter-island
trade to be lightly esteemed. Sew
eral heavily-capitalized American
steamship companies can earn
large dividends out of the increased
trade that would speedily result
from reduction of the almost ex-
orbitant and practically prohibitive
freight and passenger rates estab-
lished by the present Spanish
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1901-03-23

OdS, pIOInpt ueiiVeiy vi SdiSoeo'
and decent accommodations for
passengers, would also do much to
increase the value of every kind
of American investment in the
commerce of the islands.
Immediate wealth awaits the
man or corporation that first sup
plies these islands with half doz-
en- big, strong tug-boats of the kind
familiar in all American ports.
There are no craft of the sort at
this time in any of the harbors of
the group, All towing is done by
puny boats that are nothing more
than launches. And even in the
matter of launches for harbor pas
senger traffic, and for the landing
of freight in very shallow harbors,
there is an amount of work to be
done that would profitably employ
scores of such little vessels.
Nor is transportation any less
needed on lane. While the sub
iect of steam railways and local
electric traction will have to await
the slow, cautious investigation of
big investors, there are chances for
many fortunes to be won by men
and corporations of smaller means
who can supply cheap and effect
i've portable tramways for hauling
crops across the fields of great
plantations. At present the NOV
ing of rice, tobacco and sugar cane
is done either on the backs of
Chinese coolies or in cumbersome
carts drawn by sluggish water-buf
faloes.
American drugs and chemicals,
according to the commission, are
in considerable demand in the
Philippines, though German firms
are serious competitors in this line,
But the commissions report fails
to give due weight to the excellent
opportunities for the establishment
of American drug-stores. Nothing
more useless than the native far
mac1", or apothecary shop, can be
imagined. An English firm, with
headquarters at Hong-Kong, now
practically controls the intelligent
trade of the islands, but progressive
American methods would capture
this taade and vastly increase it.
There is great profit for real
American drugstore in any Philip
pine city of 10000 inhabitants or
upwards.
Lack of cheap coal is all that
prevents the development of the
fine iron ores of the islands. Ac
cording to Judge Taft and his as
sociates, American coal could be
sold very profitably if shipped
direct from San Francisco, but this
statement needs verifcation, and
would seem to be based on the
mistaken idea that coal sells at
nearly New York prices in San
Francisco, whereas in the latter
city the price of coal is inordinate
ly high. Good coal for the Philip
pines can be had from Japan at
prices that would defy any outside
competition. But only transporta-
ton is needed to make Philippine
coal factor in the Orient. The
native product is inferior, though
equal to all needs, while Ignite
abounds.
American cotton is staple for
which the commission sees a bright
future. German White cloth and
prints now have the call, but they
are poor goods. Both American
cloth and the raw staple are want
ed at Manila. Leather of every

in demand, the wonder being that
our otherwise enterprising ex
porters in this line are so sleepy
over the great possibilities that
centre at Manila. / have seen
natives pay soldiers the original
cost price for discarded American
shoes. Yet it is almost impossible
to find American shoes in the
stores along the Escolta.
American jewelry and watches,
which should be of decidedly
snowy designs, are wanted by
every native who is able to pay
for them. All manner ofingenious
American electrical machinery and
supplies have waiting market.
Musical instruments, those of wood
being constructed to resist damp
ness, have only to be displayed to
find ready buyers, for no people
on earth are greater lovers Of
music than the Filipinos. Dealers
in agricultural tools can find for
tunes ready for the gathering in
any part of the islands. There are
nearly 10000, 900 acres of public
lands, and already applications
from American investors show that
the Philippines will soon be one
of the great farming sections of
the world. Once Congress grants
the necessary authorization for
selling the public lands there will
be rush of American agricultural
capital, to the benefit of nearly
every other line of trade. Aside
from rice, tobacco, and cotton,
Indian corn will grow in nearly
every part of the Philippines. In
central Luzon it will ripen in eight
weeks from the day of planting.
Alluring, indeed, are the chances
of money-maklng for the American
who will go to Manila or Iloilo
with funds enough to buy native
products for export. 1t would not
require great capital, for instance,
to 60 into the business of buying
the exquisite patterns of pima lace,
which is at present unknown in
this country, but is highly appre
ciated in Europe. Who, in Amer
ica, has seen the delicate, filmy,
wonderfully beautiful fabri c S
known as pima and juSSi cloth?
Yet these shimmering goods, made
in great variety of hues and
designs, would delight American
women, who are always in search
of something wholly novel for
evening costumes and fleecy sum-
mer dresses.
Costly woods, with mahogany at
the head of the list, and many
others now unknown in this coun-
try, offer field of export worth
millions in profits every year. A
long list of essential oils is distilled
in the islands, and this industry
can be enlarged to any extent.
Cigars that will appeal to the aver
age smoker as superior to the
ordinary brands of Havana cigars
can be bought at wholesale in
Manila for less than one cent
apiece. A thoroughly effective
introduction of these weeds" in
the United States would result in
the building up of business of
many millions of dollars annually.
AS logical sequence this would
entail the growing of much more
Philippine tobacco, which, in turn,
would provide valuable opening
for Americans who are ready to
embark in tobacco-growing.
With Manila as their commercial
centre, the Philippines offer
chances for investment that cannot
be even, remotely approached to
day in this country. Our far-East-

adopt this we might as well adjourn
and go home, because we will never Sc
cure admission otherwise He consid-
cred for a while and then told me to
ask Bishop Smoot, John Sharp and other
members of the committee to come up
and see him. 4 sent them UP. What
he said to them I do not know. but af
ter he had seen them the committee all
agreed to what I had said and reported
the preamble that way to the conven-
ton, and the report was adopted.
THINKS BRIGHAM WAS WILLING.
That evidenced to my mind that
Brigham Young at that time was will
ing to give up the practice of polyga-
my In view of the manner in which
the Mormon people were being Ilar-
assed at that time 1 was not much sur
prised at this action on their part.
Brigham Young used, to say to me that
polygamy was not essential to saliva
ton, but the practice was a matter of
individual preference. I used that
against him, saying that if it was OPP
tional with an individual it could with
little sacrifice be given up generally. l
have often said to him: Why not sur
render it when the general interest de
mands it? It's at outs with the nine
teenth century and at the time that
convention was held I think he honest
ly intended to give it up. AS the pre-
amble was adopted it contained one
clause that read such provisions as
may be prescribed by Congress as con-
ditions for the admission of the State
to the Union shall be inserted here and
shall be irrevocable without the con-
sent of Congress. When we inserted
that clause we expected Congress to
insert clause forbidding polygamy.
We did not want to do it here but eX-
pected Congress to do it so that il the
State had been admitted, then it would
have been as a non-polygamy State.
But it wasn't admitted

that he has come to live and die among
them, and then, when political fortune
plays it's customary tricks upon him,
moves to some other pasture to which
distance lends enchantment.
In March, 1900, Tom made his second
move into Utah, and threw bouquets
to the Mormons in the following inter-
view, which is to be found in the Adj

George A. Smith and many other lead
ing Mormons here, and although 1 was
strongly opposed to polygamy, these
men We're nevertheless my good
friends. They were all good and great
men. Brigham Young was a man
whose history was written by his enc
mics. He had a side that never was
presented to the world. He was a hu-
name, generous and kindly man. He
had a heart as big as an OK, and was
an unusual combination of firmness
and gentleness. He was a Republican
and a strong protectionist. 1 have
heard him discuss the question many
times"

Mr.. Fitch represented the State of
Nevada in Congress from 1869 to 1871.
He came to Salt Lake in 1871 on legal
business connected with the Emma
mine. Other business was offered Mr..
Fitch here and he remained, later con-
Quoting the defense of the prominent
Mormons in the cases before Judge
Mexican. Mr.. Fitch's law partner, S.
A. Mann, was Secretary of the Terri
tory under Governor Durkee, and upon
the death of the latter Mr.. Mann be-
came Governor. When the matter of
woman suffrage came up before the
Territorial Legislature at that time
Mr.. Fitch was absent in Washington,
but largely upon his representations to
Governor Mann woman suffrage was
recommended by the Governor and
adopted, continuing in force until the

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
If Utah had been admitted to the
Union as the State of Deseret in 1872"
said .,sr Fitch, cit would have gone in
as a non-polygamous State. I know
this because the preamble to the Con-
stitution contained a provision to that
effect, and I drew up the preamble.
knew Congress would insist upon hav-
ing no polygamy before admitting the
State. The committee on preamble met
in my office. I told them my views and
found them opposed to the surrender of

and saw Brigham Young. I told him
what thought of the matter and said
I warfed my idea adopted. He said:
That means to give up our religion I
said: 'rIo: it means to give up polygamy
which ycu have never held to be nee
essary TO salvation"
ST then went on to tell him that he
had said he was desirious of obtaining
Statehood and told him Congress would
never grant it without this concession
He said nothing to that, but shook his
head. I then said: Well, IL you won't
