The substitute for the senate Phil
ippine civil government bill differs
from the bill as it passed the senate
in many minor particulars, but prin-
cipally in the following;
The house substitute provides for a
complete system Of civil government,
with a legislature to consist Of two
houses; one shall be a popular assem-
bly, elected by the Filipino people.
The senate bill contained no such
provision. The legislature to be chosen
after the existing instruction in the
Philippines shall have ceased and COM
plete peace shall have been estab-
lished therein, and the fact certified
to the president by the Philippine COM
mission
The house substitute also Smplifies
the bill of rights" enumerated in the
senate measure, and adds to the num-
Der of issues which can be appealed
to the supreme court of the United
States. The house measure also de-
fines with greater detail than the SEN
ate the rights of citizenship of those
residing in the islands, and provides
that all residents shall receive the
same protection from the United States
in respect to their relation with foreign
governments as is accorded to citizens
of the United States.
Gold Standard Coinage.
One Of the most important differences
Z between the senate and house bills IS
that relating to coinage. The senate
provided a silver standard somewhat in
extension and perfection of that now in
existence. The house measure pro-
Yides gold standard system. with the
[ gold dollar Of the United States as the
standard unit of value, for the islands.
/ The main coin is to be the peso, made
/ in silver, but of gold value, and this
/ is to be divided into subsidiary pieces
( of money, bearing devices emblematic
! of American sovereignty. Provision is
/ also made for a system of paper cur
! rency, banks, and for a complete flnan-
! cial system, the details being different
from those in the senate measure, al
; though following in the same line. In
dealing with the grant Of franchises
! the house bin places many more re-
| strictions on such grants than the SEN
ate bin. In this respect the restric-
I tons provided by the house follow the
( lines of those provided for Porto Rico
Both hills provide for acquiring the
/ friar lands and for the issue Of bonds
| sufficient 70 pay for the lands, the sen
ate provision making the interest rate
~ per cent, the house . per cent BOtl
measures contain extended provisions
relative to timber lands, harbor and in
ternal Improvements and for two dele
gate commissioners chosen by the Fill
Pine people TO represent them in Wash
ington and have the privilege OF ID,
