There are many able. shrewd. capable business men in the great Empire of China and in all the marts of the Orient. But the difficulty with the gentleman from Connecticut is that he associated with none but intelligent business men. he did not go down into the provinces and pueblos back in the archipelago and come in contact with the native Filipino in his real home condition. The gentleman did not associate with the Chinese coolie. who has no appreciation of economic law. It is true that Chinese business men are among the shrewdest business men on the face of the earth. it is likewise true that they go into Singapore and the Straits Settlements. and the Federated Malay States and impose these miserable dollars upon their ignorant countrymen Who sweat and toil. British bankers say this is a wise policy.
