THE CHANGING BASI.

MANILA.

Writing under the above caption and with special reference to the Philippines, the special chrrespondent of the London and China Express says:-*

COMMERCIAL,

{

Hy general concensus of opinion general trade at Mapila has not been good for the last two or three years, but almost everyone gave it that the worst had been passed, and that conditions painted to at least some, if not a considerable, improvement during the next two or three seasons. A good deal of uncer- talaty is naturally felt at what will be the policy pursued when the Spanish Treaty with its special provisions will expire in two years' time. From the United States at the present time comes the demand that the raw products of the Philippines should be given a chance in the markets there on a basis of a fair equivalent of the terms which the United Stater lakes for He own manufactures and raw materials in the Philippine markets. Some privilege or cash equivalent would have to be given for the - rebates on hemp when shipped to United States poris district, and that is abstracted directly from the Insular revenues for the benefit of constituents in the United States. Such a policy would affect other merchants doing business elsewhere.

Practically there are only two American firms in Manila outside two big American firms of contractori. American capital is not attracted either to the Philippines. The only two notable exceptions are the Manila tramcar service and the telephone company. Certainly no inducements to introduce capital have been held out. Capital i proverbially shy and needs coaxing. The rush of new people that { took place when the islands were acquired has establishment on a left nothing behind but the estabwe American firms I have noted. The other was already established in Spanish times. The main busi. ness still continues to be done by British, Ger Iman, Swiss and Spanish firms, They should be entitled to some consideration for the com. merce they have been lostrumental in creating. A bold policy is advocated by some of the more hard-thinking portion of the official com- munity, that portion which does not look at tariffs merely as political counters on the Washington, board, but at the true welfare of the country and the development of its re sources. One would wish more power to the aim of those who advocate that export duties should be removed, altogether so as to foster the export of produce and introduce more money by its sale. Imports would be subject.

The rame canno besxid of the constwise trade, which has been aerely handicapped in the trente om it has, received at the hands of the authoritier, and ol even Government competition. I may echo, the statement of a local paper at Manila when it calls attention to the inport ince of fostering such trade, so that it may be equipped with an efficient fleet of steamers to maintain regular. matana of communication between the different islands. There are 8,200 000 inhabitants spread Over nome 1,200 islands having a total area of 11,000 square miles and a coastline litile short of 12,000 miles. A steamer skirting the islanda' by the shortest possible route would. have to travel about 2.5.0 miles. Maritime communication "is therefore an important problem. I have elsewhere said that there.

be

too much red tape" in many departments. This is apparent in the question to answered before even you embark for, the Philippines and that the ship is responsible. for handing in on arrival. To the steamer agents you have to give answers to all sorts of questions which seem utterly ridiculous when proceeding to territory under the flag bat boasts of being absolutely free. You are asked" got only your age and 'illing, your sex, whether. married or single, your nationality, your last residence, where you a e landing in the Philip pipes, and what is your final destination, but whether you can lead and write, whether you paid your own passage, whether you are in possession of 5;0, whether you are going to join a 'relative, and whelber under a contract, expressed or implied, to perform labour, This does not, however, complete the tale. You have to say if you have ever been in prison or an almshouse or supported by charity, whether you are a polygamist, mentally and physically in health or deformed or crippled, and if so from what cause. The recount of these is sufficient without comment.
