THE FREEING OF MANILA.

1t may well be expected that the recent ac-
ton of the Philippine government In freeing
Manila and all the other insular ports from
tonnage dues on the entry of vessels will give
a strong impetus to the growth of Philippine
commerce. Hitherto Manila has not been a
favorite port of call. We might say it has been
decidedly unpopular in the commercial world.
This was because of a number of petty charges
and restrictions imposed upon vessels entering
the harbor, which were perhaps irritating rather
than oppressive, but which were regarded as
more vexatous there than at other ports in that
part of the world. Some time ago q commission
was appointed to revise and reform the harbor
system, and it soon abolished all things COM
planned of excepting the tonnage dues, which
were retained until few weeks ago, when they
also were abolished.
These dues were fixed at six cents gold ton,
with provision that no vessel should be re-
quired to pay more than 80 cents a ton In a
year, no matter how often 1t might enter the
harbor. This tax should not have initiated
against Manila particularly, because there are
similar taxes, varying considerably in amount,
at other ports in the Far East Thus at Hong
Kong there are light dues Of one cent silver a
ton at each entry, no matter how often the veS-
sci may come into port. At Singapore-nom-
inally a free port-there is a charge Of about
one cent gold. also regardless of the number of
visits. At Shanghai the charge is 90 cents,
Mexican silver, a ton, which gives the vessel
paying It the privilege of re-enterng the port
any number of times within the ensuing four
months without further charge, and there is also
an arrangement under which all vessels may
have the freedom of the port for two months in
every year.
The Philippine ports, in getting rid Of these
tonnage entry dues, become in that sense the only
really free ports in that part of the world. They
should-and Manila in particular should-there-
fore materially profit from this action Of the
government, through becoming as popular with
shippers as they were formerly unpopular The
abolition Of the dues will mean small pecu-
MARY loss to the insular government, amount
ing perhaps to 100000 or $4,000 a year. But
1t Is to be expected that there will be made O
much larger gain, through the growth of Gus
toms receipts from the increasing volume Of
commerce. 1t is, at any rate, a gratifying thing
that the American government of the PhiIip-
pines should take the initiative in freeing Orien-
tai commerce from petty restrictions which have
always been more annoying than profitable
