SPANISH METHODS AT MANILA
Spanish methods of government
commerce and finance in the Philip
pines seem to hare been based on
studied unreason, says the Spokesman-Review.
Among other iniqui
tous laws which the United Stales
authorities have abolished was one
forbidding the impoitation of Mexi
can dollars of a date subsequent to
1877. As Mexican dollars are prac
tically the only money in general
circulation in the islands, the purpose
aud effect of this law wa3 to creite
and perpetuate a ruinous monetary
monopolj'. At times money became
so scarce that the dollar would fre
quently go to a premium cf 10 or 12
per cent. At such times partial re
lief would be had by smuggling in
Mexican dollars from China, and
Edward W. Harden, special commis
sioner of the United States in the
Philippines, says this smuggling of
silver into the islands was a recog
nized industry..
"It was carried on largely by the
rich mestizos, or Chinese half castes
There was a regular system for bring
ing in these coins, which would be
shipped from Hong Kong in a special
steamer and the cargo landed
some point north or south of Manila
lay. Practically all of the silver
was landed in the neighborhood of
Bolinao, where it would be stored
until it could be shipped overland to
Manila. There was nothing disgrace
ful, in the view of the people
Manila in these practices, and those
who were interested in the Illicit
trade will discuss their operation
leiiing tne manner in which coins
were brought in. In a convent
north of Manila there were regularly
equipped vaults in the basement of
the building, where much of the
silver was first taken."
Immediately on the occupation of
Manila by the American forces, per
xaistfon was given the banks o
import silver freely, and Mr. Harden
says the effect has been to keep ex
change rates on a more stable basis.
Many of ua scarcely realize tbe
anxiety with which the relatives of
the men in the Philippines scan the
pages of. the daily papers devoted to
"war news. A friend of ours was at
Airlie, over on the west side, a few
days ago. He had bought a copj of
newspaper, when a resident of the
vicinity asked him what was the
news from the war. He turned to
the dispatches, and the first item
that greeted his eye was one telling
of the dealb of a brother of the
inquirer, from smallpox, in the Phil
ippines. He was a regular. No
person who has not a brother, son or
other near-relative with the troops
at the front can have a clear con
ception of the terrible suspense and
anxiety, from day to day, hoping for
the best always, but dreading: the
worse continually. Statesman.
Deafness Cannot be Cared.
by local applications, aa they cannot
reach tbe diseased portion of 4.he ear
There is only one way to cure deaf neap,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling eound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can betaken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases oat of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catanh
