their business in the hands of over
seers, while they will remain away.
Most of the population, the labor of
the islands, will become a restless,
besotted, and slavish race of peasants,
their lands gone. and their masters
seven or eight or nine thousand miles
away, while the wealth of the islands
will be carried across seas to enable
the absent landlords to live in luxury
and ildeness.
What must be the outcome of such
a system upon the mass of the Filipi-
! no population? Mr. President, you
will have condition in those islands
that will put to blush the deplorable
| conditions of the Irish peasantry in
the days of their worst state-a rich
absentee-landlord class. and a poor,
enslaved, hopeless mass, consisting of
the millions of the islands population.
And this, Mr.. President, is "benevo-
lent assimilation
There can be no assimilation with
these people. There can be no assimi-
lation that will ever bring the Anglo
Saxon and the Filipino upon the same
plane of equality. The Filipino is the
inferior race The Anglo Saxon or the
American is the superior race. To
speak seriously of assimilation be-
tween the races is TO SANDER our an.
cestry and commit a crime against
our posterity.
Mr.. President, | desire to say some
thing about the bill offered by the
minority. 1t voices, l believe. the SEN
timents of the Democrats of the SEN
ate and of few of the Republicans.
They are in favor of giving the Fill
pinos their independence at such rea-
sonable time and under such reason
able restrictions as will secure sta
BILE government and permanent peace
and prosperity in the islands. The
minority bill provides in section 3:
| mir
dent of the United States shall have
proclaimed that all armed resistance
to the United States has ceased in
said archipelago.
Under that provision there can be
no claim that we are granting indie
pendence to people in arms The
initiative of the government will only
be after the President of the United
States has proclaimed that armed re-
sistance to the United States had
ceased. The bill then provides that
The United States Philippine Com
mission shall make and promulgate
rules and regulations for the holding
of an election in the provinces of said
archipelago for members of a conven-
ton, which convention when organic
ed shall proceed to the adoption of a
constitution for the government of
said archipelago.
1t further provides that all who can
speak and write either the English or
the Spanish language, or any of the
native languages, and have resided
therein for one year, shall be qualified
voters, and that those who possess
such qualifications shall be qualified
for membership of the constitutional
convention.
IL then provides that the members
of the convention, when elected, shall
at time to be fixed in the election
proclamation of the. Philippine Com
mission, meet in the city of Manila to
frame constitution and to organize
government; and 1t provides that

nothing about but ! will explain one
feature of the new tariffs that amounts
TO considerable as far as Wichita millers
and grain men are concerned.
AS is well known. the rates on grain
and grain products to Texas points. both
domestic and for export, have been made
on the local rate on the shipment into
Kansas City and a proportional rate to
Texas points. In the new tariffs this
rule still holds good The local rate from
Wichita to Kansas City on wheat is 141a
cents, and the proportional rate from
Kansas City 10. say, Galveston. is S3is
cents per hundred. The total of these
would make the rate from Wichita to
Galveston IS cents per hundred pounds.
In the new tariff We are to deduct
cents per hundred pounds from this tariff
in getting the rate from Wichita to Cal
weston, making the rate IS cents. This
gives Wichita millers and grain men an
advantage of cents per hunded pounds
over Kansas City millers and grain men
and is one of the features the local peo-
pie brought before the interstate COM
merce commission at the hearing here
short time ago. It IS very material re-
duction in the rate and one that viii no
doubt be appreciated by the local dealers
as it applies to all Texas points on wheat.

corn products and say and straw.
