While Spanish apathy and misrule.
have done much to prevent the develop
nieut of the mineral ruxnnrcea of the
Philippines other cuuaes have coutrib
otinl a powerful iuflueuce toward the
same end. Many native trilx-g ore cos
n.olatirs aud U-liuvo it to lie a mortal
sin to disturb the earth. Other tribe
are devil or spirit wornhipera, nnd fear
to incur ghoctly wrath by opoiiiuu; tbe
ground. The Cbuifee come chiefly from
the Auioy and Cuntou district, where
all the open country is a uravcyard lu
which it is a crime to injure a prave.
not to speak of the vengeance of the
phantom dwellera of the tombs. The
friars oppose mining in the view that
it would demoralize their parishioners.
Thus, although the evidences of min
eral wealth are everywhere, practically
aud almost literally nothing has been
done toward its utilization.
The rock formation of the archipelago
is volcanic, sedimentary and coralline.
Anioug the volcanic clusa are basult,
obsidian, lava, tufa, sulphur and ar
senic. Not as years ago Sir John Bow-
NATIVE WOMKN or Ll'ZON.
ring examined the sulphur deposits
of Tanl, not far from Cavite. nnd de
clared them of excellent quality. Dr.
Kato pronounced them as capable of
yielding 600,0110 tons of sulphur nt a
fair profit They are. utilized by the na
tives only, the Spanish authorities hav
ing refused any concession to open np
the property.
Among valuable sedimentary rocks
are marble, white, yellow and umttlud,
gypsnui and alabaster, iron ore, lignite,
brown coal, cement rock, slato, lime-
atone and saudotono. The gypsum is
quite pure, and yields a lirst class plas
ter of paria The alabaster varies in
color, ranging from white into several
pleasant tints. The iron ore is of vari
ous kinds. A deposit at Zebo is largely
pyrites and is well suited for making
sulphur and oil of vitriol. In Negros
and southern Luzon are fine beds of
limouite, or bog iron ore, and hematite,
or red iron ore. They are qnito free
from sulphur aud phosphorus. In Mo
ron; is a wonderful bed of rich iron ore
resembling tbe magnetite of Luke.
(Jhaniplain. At Augot is one of the
richest iron ores known. It approaches
the Juragua ore of eastern Cuba uud is
noted for its pnrity. The supply seems
inexhaustible. Thu mines were ouce
worked by an English concern, which
figured out a profit of 50 per cent a?r
annum upon a capital of not less than
$100,000. But they diil not know the
country. What with sedulas aud special
taxes, inspectors and assessor, military
commanders and half caste politicians,
transit duties and export taxes the profit
was turned to loss. Then when they
slosed their works temporarily, hoping
to obtain relief, the workmen and sol
iters stole all tbe stock, the machinery
and. piece by piice, the haildiugi tlieni
gelvea. Complaint was made to tho gov
ernor general, who promptly and polite
ly ordered an investigation This was
over 0 years ag.i, and the investigation
is still going on The mines are now
worked by natives, who make enough
in one day to support them a week.
Respecting lignite and coal, opinions
are so various that no judgment can be
given until a thorough geolivicul survey
has been made. There are millions of
tons of both fuels in Ltizou. Mindanao,
Negros. Puiiay and especially Zebu. At
Zebu tbeyiTop out Uon tue surface and
have been used by the inhabitants for
cooking purposes from time immemo
rial While there is no doubt as to tbe
quantity, there is much as to the qual
ity of the civil In Manila Spanish pro
moter exhibit first class sin linens of
anthracite, semibit'.iiiiuiima, bituminous
and brown coal, but every report from
British, German aud S.-audiuavian en
gineer who have used native coal in
their steamer furnaces is that it con
tains so much shig, sulphur aud phos
phorus as to make it dear at any price.
The local Spanish steamers use it and
pronounce it satisfactory, and the Span
ish navy nses it in those waters. As,
however, coal is carried to tho Philip
pine ports fmm liorneo aud Australia,
it may be inferred that the mines which
are worked do not furnish a gisxl arti
cle, yet it does not follow that all of the
beds are alike. On the contrary, it Is
probable that they are onlike and that
there are deposits of cml e.jnal to tne
ample shown by speculators.
Petroleum exists and is found in Lo-
ton and Mindanao. It is utihed by the
native for medicinal purpoae and for
household use. but not industrially
A good cement rock is common. It
make a brown cement erjnal to Boax
dale. bnt inferior to Port land
Among tbe metals which have been
found are quicksilver, tin, tine, lea l,
copper and platinum. These have be a
discovered by mineralogists. Whether
they exist in paying quantities is an
known. Oold, the enrwe of Spain, ia believed
to axial ia laxg quantities! laVOAfbuBl
the island. Cuder any other adminis
tration it would be the basis of a flour
ishing industry aud in every probabil
ity tiie sourc f vnst wealth But the
Spaniards w n work t uiselvea,
nor permit 1 to coi.iu in nnd
earry off tht :iro.it. Tbe ViMya are
too iutractat' tt Vogritos tu savage,
aud the Tag; . too t .or and lu.M. ut to
engage in the hard labor of inuiiiiii.
Chinene lals.r is excluded by law. So
the mine remain undeveloped. The
only men who profit by the mineral r -
sources are tho thrifty t'hiuese, who -o
about the archipelago aud obtain gold
dust and nuggets from theuutives when
no Spaniard is in sight. Vet even under
these auspices a steady stream of gold
flows from the Philippines to Hongkong
and to Canton. In northern Luzon there
is a bilge of gold beariug quartz which
is wurked by the native. They buil j a
tire on the rock, aud when it is nearly
redbot they throw water upon the
surface, which immediately crack and
crumbles. The brittle pieocs secured in
this way they pound between two
stones until reduced to dust and then
wash the latter to obtain the finely di
vided g;,!d distributed in the powder.
It is very slow and laborious work, and
yet it supports several Tagal tribes and
a number of Visaya communities. The
industry has been going on for at least
BOO years, aud although constantly in
termpted by soldiers and other inspect
or it gives enough profit to insure its
continuance indefinitely.
The Spanish law prohibits all mining
witbont first indulging in a largo
amount or red tape. The miner mus
locate his claim aud have it surveyed
As there are no official surveyors in the
mining country this compels his send
iug to Manila for a professional. The
map aud claim must then be submitted
to the department of mines aud forests
and to tbe bureau of mines. Tho pro
ceeding is slow and expensive. Besides
these difficulties the claimant is liable
to have some dishonest official or un
scrupulous half caste politician file
protest for claim of prior discovery or
some church follower bring forward an
ecclesiastical title to the territory. If
the mine is in the least vuluahle, there
is bound to be one or more lawsuits.
and justice in the Philippines is not
bandaged, but is afuicted with a vision
which sees only the color of gold.
How much gold there is in the Phil
ippines will never be known until i
different government controls the terri
tory. All that is certainly known is
this: First, there are at least 500 square
miles where there is placer gold, and
second, there are 50 places whore gold
bearing quartz in true fissure veins has
been discovered and traced from 5 feet
to 500 feet each. The ledge worked by
the natives in north Luzon has been ex
amined by English assuvurs in Hong
kong aud found to range from (10 to
$100 a ton. An American mining expert
has assayed an ore from Mindanao aud
reported it as running $.'.'.0 to the ton.
Among the places where gold in paying
quantities has been discovered is Para
calc, in the province of north Cauia
rim's. Here no less than six veins have
been found uud traced considerable dis
tances. There is a large vein at Pangot
cotan, in the province of Bengiiet
Third, the mines in north Paugasiuan.
There are both placer and quartz mines
in tbe Mulaguit mountains, in north
Camarines ; placer mines at Mont Albuu
in Manila province; flue gold veins in
northern and central Suragaoand, in
east Mindanao; auriferous and argentif
erous quartz in Zebu ; gold quartz in
Kugros island, and placer mines in
Panay. There apiiear to be large do

depths of Luzon, Panay and Mindanao.
There are also silver, quicksilver, lead

archipelago. Every scientist who
visited the Philippines has proclaimed
bis belief in a great mining future for
the islands, and the Chinese yellow
books refer to Luzon as a laud rich in
precious metals. At one time the Chi
nese aud half castes worked many mines
in northern Luzon, but in eery in
stance they wire attacked and slaugh
tered by soldiers at tbe instigation of
some covetous official. These are some
of the resources of the Philippines

therefore, to maintain no system ol
evclusivism. Open the archipeligo
at every point where Holland fails to
make giMid her pretentions to sover

let every nation have access on an ac

KHective protection should lie alforil-

Your committee regards it as highly

This report, when the Pacific
coast had'not been iu our possession
10 years, showed an appreciation of
the immense value of the Pacific com
mercewhich was some time to Ixdotig
to the United Statin. The principal
changes that have 'occurred since its
date in the general situation are that
thejiolicy of exclusivism is now Is ing
applied by nations far more power
ful than Holland, and not in Occani-
cm, but on the mainland of A-ia, and
that the fortunes of war have thrown
into our poesession an archipelago
nearly if not quite as important as
that Irom which Holland was care

countries 40 years ago, and better sit

A party that fulfills its pledge
lught lo stand higher, w ith American
voters than one that disregards or n--versiw
its platforms. The republicans
have Ikvd in control long enough to
justify a comparison of re-ulis with
those of the preeeeding demoTatic
administration. At the end of a
year and half of Mr. Cleveland's

emphatic disapproval was the failure
of the democrats w hen in posstmion
of all departments of tbe govern

their platform. Falsity was added
to inenpadty. The democratic plat
form of IV.!;! denoum-ed protection,

fling ai d a'urtive mixture of free
trade and favored protective duties.
There was a pledge in the platform to
stand with the dollar on a parity
with goid. This was deserted by Ihe
democratic leader and the majority
of their follower. The denusTatic
platform of 1sSh was in general a re

American voters who are genuine
ly Interested in polities, as the prac
tical science of government, will not
deny that, of the two leading parties
in the United States, only one keep
to the spirit aud the letter of its nal
ional platforms. This is certainly a
matter of grave constKitience. The
mass of voters go to th" ;olls to give
the weight of their b.i . is to a de

the citizen has no v. : to ascertain
whether he ia votini, ir a given line

democratic state conventions this
year have refused to reaffirm the na,
tional platform of ISM. Others em
phasize it. A just charge against the
democratic party is that it is neither
disposed nor able to observe its plat
forms. It was overwhelmingly in
competent when given full control in
1892 and then adopted a radically
new creed. A vote for such a party
is worse than thrown away.-St. Lou,
