There is an export duty on tobacco, and almost every article of foreign production is heavily taxed on being imported. On muslins and petroleum the duty is about 100 per cent. of the cost The chief products are hemp, su- gar, coffee, copra, tobacco leaf, cigars and indigo. Gold mining is being carried on in Luzon with favorable prospects, and coal mining in Cebu, where, when arrangements for car- riage are completed, the output is ex- peeted to be about 5,000 tons a month.

The mighty walls kor-Wat, rising in the midst of spars ly-populated jungles, remain as the memorial of a great empire which has utterly disappeared and is alto- gether lost tohistory.

Angkor-Wat is one of the most astonishing monuments in the world, and this forgotten temple was built so as to endure as longas the earth itself, were it not for the irre- sistibly destructive effect of plant life on the strongest walls that man ean raise.
