DISAPrWMT FOR FILIPINOS Currency Legislation Fails to Encourage. Expectations Entertained in Manila Manila, July 3. The currency arranW uri;u upon Dy tne American Congress is a bitter disappointment here and discourages the hopes that Con gress would afford commercial relief to the islands.

Senator Sim mons declared.! "Upon the three, great issues that of, trusts, tariff, and impe rialism our position before the country has been greatly strengthened by the result of the . discussion,- action, or, non action of the Republican party. It has been made so plain that the Republican party is under the control of the trusts that the people cannot fail to understand it. r Congress has had abundant oppor tunity to pass legislation which would have tended to the suppression in some instances, . and the government 'control in the case of ! others. . , "The only law which the Republican party has ever passed against trusts is the Sherman Anti-Trust law passed in 1890. This law, everybody admits;- is ineffective. In fact, nine-tenths of the, trusts now In -i existence have sprung up and . flourished., under it. Recognizing the ' insufficiency of . this Jawy various bills have been introduced by Demo crats during! this session, which, if passed, would undoubtedly have accom plished the general desire of -either forcing these illegal combination out of existence, or subject them to siich con trol by the government as would either have destroyed or m."jiimized. their power ' of evil. -Republicans have failed iind refused to permit the enactment of any of these bills i into law. " - , V'The tariff issue will be greatly empha sized in this campaign by the fact that it is through it that the trusts hare their being and are enabled tfr regulate prices. The fact that these combinations are selling their products at from thirty to forty per cent in this country less than they denyind for them in foreign coun tries is bound tovdraw the attention of the country sharply to the injustice of a' continuance of the present high rata o? duty upon -trust-made goods. ' ISotj withstanding these facts, the- Republi can party refuses, despite the demand coming from their own party, especially in the West, To allow any reduction of tariff duties, thus enabling these unlaw ful combinations to extort enormous trib ute from the people. "The failure - of Congress to pass a bill for the relief of Cuba is (chargeable exclusively to the Republicans. There has not been ja'n hour when a bill prq vidinz for a reasonable reduction !f tariff, rates in. the interest of Cuban products couia not nave passed v,on- res3 if the Republican party had been willing to reduce the duty upon refined i sugar, the exclusive product of the trust. as;well as upon raw sugar, the product nf the American farmer. That party has preferred; to do what it calls in justice to Cuba and to, violate what it declares is the express duty of this coun try to Cuba, rather than deprive the sugar trust of even a fraction of a cent of its present -enormous profits. If any proof were ' needed. tTV show the sub serviency of the Republican party to the trust,; their refusal to pass the reciprocity bill with the differential amendment sup plies that proof. , "The invegtization before the Com mittee on the! Philippines has shown the unwisdom of (the Republican policy with reference to those islands. It has shown that we cannot govern an inferior race Ki. fm'oo u'iHirmt- iuvitinE?
