PHILIPPINE PAPER MONEY IS
NOT ENOUGH FOR THE DEMAND
MANILA, Oct. 31. —Philippine paper I
money is quoted below par by the t
vast army of Chinese merchants who .
control 90 per cent of the retail busi- [
nes§ of the Islands. Silver coins, in-'
eluding the peso, the bullion in which I
is now worth $1.50, are being quoted ,
by Chinese merchants at a ten per !
cent advance. Meanwhile the gov
ernment is considering measures to
cope with the situation whch is re
tarded as a serious menace to the
commercal prosperity of retail busi
ness here. The average Chinese re
tailer today refuses to make sales I
unless the purchaser has with him
the exact change necessary. If he,
presents a two peso bill for payment—
the two peso bill being the smallest
paper currency in use, he is told that
he must accept a ten per cent dis
count on it or go without the goods.
At the same time, the Chinese are
paying a peso for ninety centavos in
silver coin.
The chief factor in causing the pres
ent is declared to be in
creasing business. Philippine trade
has gone ahead so rapidly in recent
months that the circulation of money
in the Islands has not kept pace
with it. Then came recent advances
in the price of silver increasing the
value of the pesa to fifteen centavos
above par. Prohibited by law from
exporting silver pesos, the Chinese
are said to be hoarding them. There
ig a suspicion also that they are ex
porting the buTion obtained from
melting them down, although there
is a law on the local statute books
forbidding melting of coins.
This hoarding has withdrawn many
silver pesos from circulation. Their
work has been done by the smaller
coins, fifty, tewnty, ten and five cen
tavo pieces, and the burden of trade
has been too great for them to carry.
The refusal of Chnese store-keepers
to give change is regarded as indica
tion that they are hoarding the small
er coins also.
Several month ago the insular gov
ernment saw the danger to the peso
in the increasing price of silver and
authorized the Philippins Nationtl
Bank, the government institution to
contract for the pr’nting of 4,000,000
peso bills. It is the intention also to
the insular legislature for the authori
ty to issue up to $4,000,000 in Wills.
TERRIBLYSWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of
this place, writes: “My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
jured himself with a piece of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. .He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
I sent and bought Thedford’s Black-
Draught. I made him take a big dose,
and when it began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford’s Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught will help you
to keep fit, ready for the day’s work.

CHINESE LABOR QUESTION
IS RAISED IN PHILIPPINES
MANILA, Oct. 31. —Whether Chinese
labor shall be imported to the Phil
ippines to till the thousands of acres
of farm land which now lie idle is the
roost important question which is ex
pected to be fought out in the pres
ent session of the Philippine con
gress. Chinese immigration is now
bmited by the exclusion acts of the
United States, and any attempt to
import Chinese in large numbers must
have the consent of the administra
tion at Washington before becoming
effective.
The annual Farmer.-’ Congress of
the Philippines recently voted to tfa
iVor Asiatic immigration. This means
importaton of Chnese, snee they are
the only laborers avalable. Combat
ting thi s movemen ton the part of
the farmers, representatives of organ
ized labor are preparing to make a
strong fight in the insular legisla
ture against letting down the bars to
i the Chinese.
