Future of the Philippines Dis.
cussed in Reply to an
Address.

Manila. Aug. 3l.-Governor Taft was
given a banquet by the American
chamber OF commerce of Manila last
Saturday night. In an address in reply
10 a toast, the governor discussed the
future OF the Philippines. He said the
United States would retain the islands
indefinitely with the view of educating
the FilpiRos TO a state OF self-govern-
ment and other conditions which would
enable them to decide whether they de-
sired TO become Independent or be
made into a state. like Canada or Aus
tTalia under Great Britain. Governor
Taft said he believed the relationship
between the two peoples would be con-
tinued and that the Americans were
here for the benefit of the Filipinos.
He said the Americans did not desire
the islands for selfish purposes. and
promised that American capital would
get fair treatment here. Continuing
the governor expressed his belief that
commercial interests must ultimately
rely upon Filipino labor, although a
temporary relaxation of the immigra-
ton restrictions was possible. He said
the United States civil commission
would again recommend congress TO
give the Philippine islands a gold
standard of currency, as the present
huctuation of standards was a disad-
vantage to everybody.
Luke Z. Wright. who acted as civil
governor of the islands during the re-
cent absence of Judge Taft, also spoke.
He expressed the opinion that the true
future OF the islands depends upon the
admission OF their products to Amer
lean markets. Commissioner Wright
had been made a football in American
politics.

AUGUST'S BIG SURPLUS
Receipts of the Treasury De-
partment Exceeded Expendi-
lures by S5,955,Sl2.

Washington. Aug. S1.-The receipts
of the treasury department for the
month of August just closing exceeded
the expenditures by $5,955,Sl2. an I'M
expectedly large surplus. The total
receipts were S4S6O5,Sl2 and the ex-
penditures S42. 650000. For the same
month of last year the total receipts
were S45. 1894 125 and the expenditures
S39. 35l. 1871. a surplus of a little over S.
600, 900. The big surplus this month has
been attained in the face of the heavy
cut made by congress in the way of
wiping of the books the taxes imposed
on account Of the war with Spain.
This act Of congress decreased the re-
ceipts something like SG,500,0 600 a month.
In fact, in July the receipts from in
ternal revenue fell of more than that
figure as a result of the cut. This
month the reduction is not so large.
The receipts from the different sources
have been as follows:
Customs. $26.5S2. 2S0; internal revenue.
81. 525.36S, miscellaneous. $4.49S.2l3.
For August of last year the customs
receipts were S21, III and internal
revenue $220s6.7s4. The increase in
customs receipts Of the same month

more heavily abroad each month. The
falling of from Internal revenue is
less than s.. 600 900. The expenditures
are something over s. 600 600 greater
than for the same month last year.
In accordance with the suggestion of
Secretary Shaw national banks in the
