TRADE IN THE
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Report of the Chief of the Insular
Bureau.
AMERICA'S TRADE IS DECLINING
Capt. McIntyre Urges the Adoption of a
Law That Would Decrease the Rate
on Philippine Products as Necessary
to the Welfare of the Islands —Pro-
posed Agricultural Bank.
Washington (Special).—In his an-
nual report as Acting Chief of the
Bureau of Insular Affairs, Capt.
Frank Mcintyre, U. 8S. A., says:
“For more than four years, or
ever since the official declaration of
the termination of the insurrection
against the United States in the
Phillippine Islands. the Philippine
Commission, the Secretary of War
and the President have urged, as
most necessary to the welfare of the
people in the Philippine Islands and
to the successful government of those
islands, the passage of sonte bill
which would concede a lower rate of
duty on products of the Philippine Isl-
ands coming to the United States
than the tariff imposed on the prod-
ucts of foreign countries, and all of
their efforts to carry out this pur-
pose have not as vet resulted in a
final vote which would indicate their

St. Petersburg (By Cable).—As a
result of the investigation which the
press campaign and publie indigna-
tion have compelled the ministry to
make into "the Lidval contract for
the purchase of grain intended for
famine relief, in which Assistant
Minister of the Interior Gurko is al-

**It is doubtful if at this time any |
other officers of the government have
imposed on them so difficult a task |
as have the members of the Philip- |
pine Commission—that of successful- |
ly governing these far-away islands.
It would seem, having by law im-{
posed the most difficult task upon
the Philippine Commission, that their
hands should be upheld in carrying |
out those policies which they deem
essential.
Reciprocal Trade Arrangement.
“It should borne in mind that
during this period everyone |
connected with government of |
the Philippines has been impressed |
with the urgent need of some such
legislation as that proposed, to lift |
the Filipino people out of the depth |
of poverty into which they have fal-
ien as the result of the wars, insur-
rections and pestilence with which
those islands have been cursed for
a period of 10 years. And not only
have they thus agreed to the im- |
portance of this legislation to the
islands, but they have been uniformly |
of the opinion that such assistance
as would be given the depressed ag-
riculture of the Philippines by this
act could in no wise harm any in-
terest in the United States.
“A survey of the pending legisla- |
tion leads inevitably to the conclu- !
sion that it is by no means an altru-
istic measure, but one of distinet ad-
vantage to us, regardless of its ad-
vantage to the Filipinos. It mav be
safely asserted that in no case lave
we been to obtain from any
country a reciprocal trade arrange-
ment so favorable to us as that em-
bodied in this bill, whieh increases
our home market by over 7,000,000
people, producers exclusively, with
the exception of a relatively few |

‘There is pending another measure }
in both the Senate and House of |
Representatives on which there has

which would of benefit to all
classes of Filipinos. This is the bill
providing for the establishment of an
agricultural bank.
“Heretofore the inhabitants of the |
islands away from Manila have had |
no place In which they could secure
their savings and no place from
which they could borrow on reason-
able terms the money necessary in

Annual Report of the
Dr. North.
Washington, D. C, {Bpecial ) Much
of the work of the Census Bureau
during the past year, as disclosed
by the annual report of Dr. 8. N. D.
North, the director, just made public,
related to the census of manufactures
of 1905, to the preparation and pub-
Heation of statistics on municipal fi-
nance and to the collection, tabula-
tion and publication of prompt and
accurate reports on the cotton crop.
The report shows that the work cost
the government $1,249,045, that sum
being $235,667 less than Congress
appropriated for it.
Annual estimates of the population
of the various states and territories
are made by the census in order to
establish death rates in the vital sta-
tistics reports. In 19805 13 states
took enumerations of the population,
the total being 25.,792.236. The es-
timate of the census of the popula-~
tion of those states at the same time
was 25,743,311, a difference of only
49.925.
Dr. North has planned, in connec-
tion with the annual municipal re-
ports, a series of statistical studies
of important phases of municipal de-
velopment, including parks, markets,
paving sewers, police and fire depart-
ments, baths, school! and
