Commoner Comment on Philippine Question and Currency Policy
The Commons column reviews Shafroth's Philippine critique arguing for consent of governed and condemns colonial rule. It discusses treasury plans to move government funds to national banks, critiques tariffs and steel imports, and notes political shifts, tariff revision debates, and populist views. The piece cites figures like Shafroth, Gage, and Taylor, and touches on Republican critique of corruption and Democrats. It also covers silver legal tender, Chinese admission, and wage labor concerns within a broad political commentary.
