so much of the credit, and $25,00O,0O0
and $50,0O0,O00 at the end Of the two
remaining periods. The amount of
the credit would not be taken out of
the United States treasury, like the
loan, ami would be without interest
and could never be transferred to
any other foreign nation.
when the loan and credit were
approved and the above mentioned
sum here in the Philippines, bank
would be opened which could be
called the United States of America
Agricultural Philippine bank and
which would be under the inspection
and supervision of the insular gov
eminent.
After the civil commission had
dictated the proper regulations and
established all the necessary safe
guards for the security and stability
of the bank, the bank would begin
to operate. making available for the
agriculturists such sums as they
should ask for, in compliance with
the necessary formalities at an an
nual maximum interest of 4 per cent,
payable semi-annually.
From the $1OO,OO0,OOO capital will
be subtracted $2,OOOOO0 for the con-
struction of buildings for branch
banks throughout the archipelago,
and for other necessary preliminary
expenses.
"Subtracting from the annual in
come of $3,92OOOO, the annual ex-
pense for salaries and other neces-
sary expenditures of the bank, which
may be reckoned at about $4,000,
there would remain net annual in
come of $3,220,000, which added to
the capital at the compound interest,
under the same conditions during the
following years, at the end of 16
years would free both the actual and
supplementary credit; that is, the
bank would have liquidated it's debt
to the United States treasury, and
there would remain a balance of at
least $40,OOO,OOO for the continuance
of it's work. Allowing four years
more for ample time makes the &c
years mentioned.
"By the time the United States
treasury has been paid at the end Of
the stated period Of 20 years, the
Philippine treasury would have at
least $50,0O0,O00, which would serve
to guarantee the issue of paper
money to that amount.
I'm case Filipinos should wish t.
acquire the bank by making Of it 9
joint stock company without other
wise altering it's organization ant
methods, the government would con
concede to them the title, withOu'
prejudice to it's right to require re
payment of the amounts incurred b!
the foundation of said bank or .othel
necessary expenses.

is known I shall be called an enthusi

States Government.
FOR A LOAN OF 100000, ooo
To Be Used n Establishing National
Bank in the Philippines in the Ma
ture of a Sub-treasury, and for De-
veIopment and Improvement Of the
Islands.

A Washington dispatch says Sec
rotary Root transmitted to the SEN
ate and house copies of petition re-
ceived by him, through Governor
Taft, from Aguinaldo, the late in
surgent leader in the Philippines.
The petition is a remarkable present
alton of the conditions now existing
in the Philippines, and Secretary
Root fastened to send it to congress
because it went long way toward
supporting the statements he had
made to the committees of that body
and also demonstrating the neces-
sity for prompt and exhaustive &C.
ton on the part of congress to pre-
vent disaster and distress in the Phil
ippines. The secretary's letter OF
transmittal attached particular i'm
portance to Aguinaldo's profession OF
a desire to do everything in his pow
er to aid the Americans in carrying
out relief measures and developing
the islands. The petition says in
part:
PROFOUNDLY impressed by the sor:
rows and calamities which afflict my
people, and bearing in mind the good
intentions which have inspired the
acts of the civil commission, have
taken heart to present a project OF
a purely economic character, which
in my opinion, would remedy, If moi
completely, at least in great part
the precarious situation in which We
all find ourselves.
II propose to the honorable civil
commission to obtain from congress
a united States treasury loan Of $40,
100000 gold in cash, and also a cred
it of $SO,00O,00O gold, which will
guarantee the issue of paper to serve
as money in the islands. This sun
shall be used for the development ant
improvement of Philippine agricul-
ture and shall be paid within q
years, the payments being made il
three installments, at the end of 10
Is and 20 years, respectively, and a

is bought for a rise
There have been such periods il
England and in every other country
and in every country there will be
such periods again. But in no coun
try are the conditions which pro
duce them continuous.
THE period of mutations is fol
lowed inevitably by the period of de
preston.
THE financial excuses that ac
company conditions of great prosper
lty. the over capitalization and over
speculation of a BOOM themselves
hasten the slump that must newt
ably sooner or later follow.
1T is the certainty of the coming
of the reaction in the United States
that causes the huge Morgan pyra-
mid of paper values to be regarded
the world over with apprehension.
The steel trust is over capitalized.
It's constituent businesses were ac-
CURED at the best possible estimate
OF their worth and passed on to the
public at huge advance in price
The huge Morgan railroad concerns
have to bear burden of unremuner-
alive capital.
The Atlantic shipping combine is
an almost ludicrous example of over
capitalization. There is absolutely
no relation between the paper value
or the company and the actual COM
mercial value of the ships which
comprise the company's possessions.
These things are recognized by
men of business the world over, and
the signs of general apprehension
are visible every day.
There is hardly a man of business
in the whole world of commerce who
does not upon taking up his morning
paper, look first of all for news of
the condition Of the money market
in New York. The smallest finan-
cial complication there arouses an
intensity of interest. The remarka-
BILE sensitiveness to small impulses
of the New York market indicates
unstable equilibrium. There is a con-
slant state of anxiety, punctuated by
recurring Outbursts of excite
ment which time and again seemed
to be on the point Of developing into
panic.
1.-The conservative financier Of New
York recognizes the danger as clear
ly as do those of London and Paris,
but New York can not get out from
under the towering skyscraper whose
shadow darkens all Wall street. In
Europe there is, 1t is believed, no
great necessity to get out from UNI
der, but there is manifested on the
part of the cautious man of business
the firmest resolve to keep out from
under.
Neither the steel trust nor the
Atlantic trust are alluring bait over
here to the investor or speculator."

Mr. Lane was a small man and far

he showed his admiration as he showed
all his feelings-in a cautious way.
He was an expressman. Having call

of books, he was amazed to see the
young athlete of the family. who was
then enjoying u vacation from coli; &c

When would They Sim,

During a season of great drought the
inhabitants of a certain parish-at
least so it is said-sank a deep well at
the public expense. The we'll having
been dug, the large heap of earth
which had come out of it was by com
mon consent voted an eyesore which
ought to be removed. A parish meet
Ing was accordingly held to consider
how the obnoxious heap should be got
rid Of. Many suggestions were made
as to the best way of dealing with it,
but at last it was proposed and unani-
mously carried that they should dig a
large hole and bury it. How often the
process of digging a fresh hole to bury
the earth which had come out Of the
hole was repeated we never heard, but
we fear the plan must have put the
parish to a good deal of expense be-
fore it was successful.-LonGon Tit

Sense and Mathematics.

The difference between common sense
and mathematics was illustrated in a
remark which was made in a school
the other day.
1t was the mental arithmetic class.

Smith.

"Eight-sixteenths and one-half are

At this reply Jones, who was sitting
near, shifted scornfully. The master
heard him.

agree with Smith?"

The Badger as a Fireman.

A badger which had made its home
among the granite cliffs dealt with the
fire god with sagacity and SKILL says
Nature. A friend while painting sea
piece, discovered a badgers lair and
thought to play the animal a practical
joke. Gathering together a bundle of
grass and weeds, he placed it inside the
mouth of the hole and, igniting it with
a match, waited for the ignominious
flight of the astOnished householder
But Master Badger was a resourcefu
animal and not disposed to be made -
butt Of practical jokers He came W
from the depths of his hole as soon as
the penetrating smoke told him that
there was a fire on the premises and
deliberately scratched earth on the
burning grass with his strong claws
until all danger was past No human
being could have grasped the situation
more quickly or displayed greater skill
in dealing with an unfamiliar event.

as its parent tree is entitled to live, the
