tants OF the country. OF persons born in England,
Ireland or Scotland there were residing in Canada
in 1901 only $4,000, against 485524 in 1871 That
is to say, there fewer British and Irish born
people in Canada to-day by nearly 100000 than there
were thirty years ago. On the other hand the num-
Der OF immigrants from countries other than those
embraced in the British empire was 27SSo4 in 1901,

This increase of immigrants other than those of
British origin is pondered by the despondent in
connection with the fact that the French Canadians
are increasing more rapidly than the English speak
ing people Thus the representatives OF the ancient
British stock see themselves in danger OF being

by Americans in the West They are asking one

PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.


I'M earneStness upon her plea for a sound cur
rency. The press and the representatives o
all commercial and industrial interests appear to be
unanimous in urging action to that end by Con-
gress at the present session 1t must be admitted
too, that they have good right to insist They are
under the control OF Congress. They cannot make
laws for themselves. Authority rests with us and
responsibility goes with authority. 1t plain duty
OF our Government to provide the people OF the
islands with currency OF stable value in the ex-
changes of the world
The Manila Critic in discussing the situation in
the islands says: There might have been a time
when compromise the basis OF silver currency
would have been acceptable. That time has now
passed and the people the gold standard Ameri-
can currency and the American national banking
system extended to these islands They not only want
It, but they demand it, preierring to accept the pres
ent conditions until these conditions have resulted
in utter commercial ruin rather than to accept any
compromise. While it is known that the Civil Com
mission, in its recommendation to Congress- has
twice urged the coinage OF the 5ocent dollar and
subsidiary coinage, believing that the needs oil the
islands demand cheap money it is to be presumed
that now, out of Difference to public opinion, the
gold standard will be recommended. There appears
to be good and valid reason why the gold stand
ard well national banking system should
not be extended to these islands,
The evils OF cheap and fluctuating currency are
we'll known American lawmakers We have had
that question elaboratey discussed in Congress and
before the people. We have decided that for our
selves we shall have the best currency in the world
We have refused accept silver. We have done so
the express ground that fuctuating silver cur
rency is injurious and to a certain extent dishonest
Why then should we impose such a currency upon
subject people?
We have carried the gold standard to Porto Rico
and all reports to the effect that its benefits
have been vast. We see Mexico the greatest silver
producing country in the world, disturbed and dis
ordered by OF its silver currency and the Gov
ernment preparing provide some remedy for the
evil With such examples OF good resulting from a
stable currency and evil resulting from silver surely
We cannot with any respect for our own intelligence
argue that silver is best for the Philippines.
The present session of Congress is short and there
is good deal OF work before it The temptation to
postpone much OF the legislation under way will
be pressing Indeed, good deal OF it will have to be
postponed. Legislation for the Philippines and for
Alaska ought, however, to have the right OF way
Neither of those countries has any local se-govern-
ment Neither do anything for itself The first
duty Of Congress is therefore the people OF those
countries Alaskan legislation and Philippine egisla-
ton would not take much time, and since Congress
alone has power provide the laws needed for their
welfare the desired legislation should be promptly
provided.
