conditions. The unhurried and IN
biased report OF this commission
would show what changes should be
made 10 the various schedules, aud
how far these changes could go with
out also changing the great prosperity
which this country is now enjoying,
or upsetting its fixed economic policy.
The cases 10 which the tariff can
produce a monopoly are so few as to
constitute an incons'derable factor In
the question; but, Of course, II 10 any
case it be found that a given rate OF
duty does promote a monopoly which
works m, no protectionist would
object TO such reduction Of the duty
as would equalize competition.
In my Judgment, the tariff on
anthracite coal should be removed.
and anthracite put actually, where it
now nomiDally is, on the free list.
THIS would have no effect at all save
in crises; but in crises It might be Of
service to the people.
MONEY.
Banks are the natural servants of
commerce, and upon them should be
placed, as far as practicable, the
burden Of furnishing and maintaining
a circulation adequate to supply the
needs Il our diversified industries and
Of our domestic and foreign com.
merce; and the issue Of this should be
so regulated that a sufficient supply
should be always available for the
business interests OF the country.
II would be both unwise and unnec-
essary at this time to attempt to re.
construct our financial system, which
has been the growth Of a century;
but some additional legislation is, 1
think, desirable. The mere outline
of any plan sufficiently comprehensive
to meet these requirements would
transgress the appropriate limits Of
this communication. IL Is suggested
however, that all future legislation
on the subject should be with the
view of encouraging the use of such
instrumentllities as will automat-
ically supply every legitimate demand

merce, not only In the amount, but in
the character Of circulation; and OF

that 1t provides complete form of civil gov

the terminates, the provision being fol-
lows:
Whenever the existing instruction in the
Philippine Islands shall have ceased and a con-
been established therein and the facts shall be
certified to the President by the commission, the
President shall authorize the commission to call
a general election for the choice of delegates to
popular assembly of the people of the Philip
pine Islands. to be known as the Philippine As
sembly.,
1t is further provided that all the legislativ.
power shall then be vested in two houses-the
Philippine Commission and the Philippine As
sembly. Provision is made for taking the cen

SECRETARY ROOT ORDERS THE REBATE
PUT INTO EFFECT.

SECRETARY ROOT ORDERS THE REBATE
PUT INTO EFFECT.
Washington, April S.-Secretary Root. after
consultation with the Treasury authorities. has
issued instructions to Acting Governor Wright
to give effect that part of the Philippine
tariff act which provides for a rebate of the
export duties goods shipped from the Philip
pines to the United States. This matter is Of
great Importance. and has caused much agita-
ton in Europe, and especially In London, where
the vast manila rope industry is threatened with
a blow by the advantage that will be
given to rope makers in the United States
through the remission of the export duty, which
will be collected In full from European ship
pers. Aside from hemp. the regulations apply
to all raw materials coming from the Philip
pines on which export duties levied
II is believed that through the operations of
this discriminating law there will be large
addition to the number of United States vessels
and a considerable addition to the manufactur-
ing interests here. 1t is hoped by this and
other important steps TO be taken later to make
the United States vas. collecting and dis
tributing mart for the worlds tropical goods
The principal point in the Secretary's instruc-
tions is that which require. the collection at
Manila or other Philippine ports of the export
duty In every case, whether the goods go TO
America or to Europe to the Orient. But
provision is made for the return of the tax to
the American shipper If the goods actually are
landed and worked up in the United States
An important construction of another section
of the act (Section -. which refers to goods
coming directly from said islands to the United
States" declares that this applies where the
goods at the time of shipment are declared to
be destined for port in the United States re-
