When we note the difficulties which have bampered other Eastern countries to extricate themselves from the dilemme, in which only Japan seems to have been entirely successful, we can better appreciate the schierament ne complished by the Philippine Department of

Einance.

This is only another instance of the applica tion of American methods to problems which other countries have bee struggling with for years, and, while wo are not egotists, we believe that it has been brought about purely by having a fixity of purpose which has not been swerved from in the face of unerous protests and threatened calamities.

To this same trait in the American oburaeter is due the enactment of the Internal Revenue Law. Asradical in its features as the Currency Act, bitterly condemned from its inc ption by nearly all the commercial interests of the islands, in direct oppos tion to the old estab- lished Spanish custom of not taxing the vices of their conquered races, it was fought to the end by all the affected industries.

But it has been made a law, and the prospects are bright for its enues us a revenus earner despite the prophesied business disasters and failures predicted by its opponents. lu time this law will also prove us much of a success, and be recognized as such, as the Cnrrency Low is at present.
