PRESSING DEMAND FOR
PHILIPPINE CURRENCY

jouInment had arrived. the money sec
tion was stricken from the bill. BY this.
means the islands were left to trade with
the Mexican coinage.
Demand for Legislation.
There has since been a pressing de-
maHd made for currency legislation for
the Philippines. An effort has been
made TO have the Senate and House
come together upon the matter. Accord
ingly Representative Cooper. the chair
man OF the House Committee on iusular
Affairs. and Senator Lodge. chairman OF
the Philippines Committee Of the Senate
introduced bills in their respective
houses to f0 the gold standard for the
islands This was a complete recession
on the part Of the Senate from the posi-
tion which it maintained last session
While the measure is somewhat different
from the original House provision It
nevertheless establishes the gold stand
ard instead Of the silver basis. This is
all the more remarkable from the fact
that the silver standard provision passed
the Senate by a unanimous vote. both
Republicans and Democrats agreeing
that this was the better Of the two for
the archipelago. Unlike the American
gold standard which allows free and
unlimited coinage of gold. the present
Philippine gold standard bin will limit
the coinage of gold. Ii also provides for
a subsidiary coinage.
