The gallant men of the First Nebraska Regi- ment are even more emphatic in belittling our new possessions than are the Oregonians, who were the first to give expression to thetr views on the islands and their treacherous inhabitants. They say that the small portion of the land not held by the church is not available, for the present at least, for agriculture, and that even if it were it is unfitted for the purposes for which it had been fondly hoped it could be made a source of profit, namely the raising of American cereals, cattle and Hogs. The =28 ¥ heavy rains are almost always immediately followed by hot weather, which would rust such crops as ; coheat and oats, and while corn is raised in large quantities it is of a very inferior quality ) The Chinese, who do most of the work in the fields—work that a white man could not do—are * overpaid at 50 cents a day, say these critics. The general belief is that our labor laws could not be ap- “‘ plied wwith profit to a country so dependent upon coolie labor, and that with labor lazws for the pro- 2 ( tection of free workingmen they could not compete with the low-class natives and Chinese, even if () ¥ they could live in that climate, which is impossible except as gentlemen of leisure. Of the Filipinos, * i <who, when the islands are formally annexed to the United States, may rightfully claim the benefits of Q ) the citizenship enjoved by us, the soldiers, almost without exception, declare they will not be fitted for () X that responsibility for several generations at least. * ¢ These are the opinions of men who are intelligent and educated and the majority of whom are fi ) familiar with agriculture and therefore competent to judge of the conditions with twhich they were () % brought face to face. 2’ ‘ P S aes ot oo o8 o ang d AT AT AT AT A A TA T A T AT A T AT AT TSR TS SRS generations at|ltable to rust.

The better class are all right, but the people as a whole are treacherous and deceitful. PRIVATE E. STORCH (Muslcian)—T think the Philippines are pretty well pop- ulated. T am not familiar with the facili- - of obtaining land for agricultural pur- poses, If such exists. Corn is raised in considerable quantities in the islands, but I think there is too much rain and that the climate is too hot for other American cereals, especially wheat and oats, which are liable to rust under the conditions prevatling there. Americans cannot labor there in our form of agriculture. All the rard work is done by the natives and Chinese, who stand the climate better than any other clas: either, however, PRIVATE E. W.

The land seems to be all taken up. It is either owned by the Filipinos or big syndicates. Very little of the country seems unoccupied. Corn and rice are the | only cereals that grow well there. Other products are likely to be ruined by the wet weather and dry season. The Ameri- cans could not work in the field as they do in this country, as the heat is too great. The Chinese seem to do the most work. It would be a fine thing and a help to this country if our laws were intro- duced there, especially the labor laws. The climate is not suited to a white man. | The Filipinos have been fighting all their lives and will never make good citizens. In my opinion, they should never be al- lowed the same privileges. It will take a long time for the natives to become educated up to our form of government. When they do they will make good citi: zens. PRIVATE LEMISON, Company I— There does not seem to be a scarcity of population in the Philippines. It is rather difficult to say whether it would be pos-| sible for an American to gain possession | of land. It all seems to be occupied and is held by the church. The soil is jus | right for the raising of corn, rice and to- | bacco. As to wheat and rye, I am unable | to say whether they could be raised with- | out loss. The intense heat and the wet weather would seem to be against the latter products. I do not think the Fili- pinos should be made citizens of the United States. PRIVATE J. E. DOYLE, Company D— The islands are thickly populated. I sup- pose a man could buy land If he had the ‘pioney. I do not think much wheat could be raised there, as It is too wet. Corn. rve and barley could be ralsed without trouble. Cattle and hogs would thrive, but there is danger of the hogs taking the disease that is prevalent in the Isiands. The climate is such that it takes the energy out of a man. After an Amer- fcan is there a few months he does not want to do anything. The Chinese and natives do most of the hard labor. islands would be profitable if our labor laws were introduced there. I do not think the climate is suited to our race. The heat makes them indolent. their energy and ambition. I don’t tt the natives should be made citizens. In course of time they might have to be, but that is too far off to worry over. SERGEANT H;\LL.VC‘nmpany K—From my observations, the isiands seemed to have plenty of population. There is very | little chance of getting land there, as it is either settled or the Catholics have it in Almost any product save wheat could be raised on the islands. Cattle and hogs would certainly do well. The Fili- pinos seem to do most of the labor and | are better acclimated.

In | my opinion, the natives will make good citizens in course of time, but they will have to be educated up to it. SERGEANT C. C. KAUFFMAN, Com- pany C—The Philippines, and especially Luzon, are not lacking in population by any means. I do not know what the op- portunities for securing land for agricul- tural purposes are, but I understand it is nearly all owned by the church. There is no doubt that wheat, oats, rye, barley and other cereals can be raised there. Corn Is already raised in large quantities. Cattle and hogs flourish and are a source of considerable profit. Americans cannot do any kind of hard out of door work there, as they cannot stand the climate. | All work in the fields is done by either Chinese coolies or natives, although the latter are not partial to labor of any kind. I do not think the islands would be a | source of profit if the contract labor sys- tem was abolished and’ our labor laws enforced there. The Filipinos would not make good citizens, not for generations at least. PRIVATE J. W. WHITTAKER, Com- pany C—I don’t know anything about the other islands, but Luzon is in no need of more population. There are no opportuni- ties at present for obtaining land for agricultural purposes so far as I know, but of course there may be after the fighting is over. I think a great many American ‘agricultural products could be raised there successfully, and cattle and hogs appear to thrive. All the work in the flelds Is done by Chinese coolies :nd natives. Americans could not do the work because of the climate. Our labor laws could not replace the present sy tem of servile and contract labor in vogue there with profit. The Chinese work so cheap that white men could not competa ‘w!(h them. I do not think the native | Filipinos should be made citizens of the United States until they have been civi- | lized, and that will not be for several | generations. | PRIVATE MORRIS R. WHITEHEAD, | Company H—The Philippines do not ap- | pear to be lacking im population. It is a | great agricultural country, but there are | no opportunities for getting land there now. I cannot say how it will be after the fighting is oveg I think crops such as corn, wheat, etc., can be raised there and American agricultural methods introduc- d to some extent. Cattle and hogs ap- pear to do well. Americans cannot work out of doors there. The most of the work in the fields is performed by Chinese coo- lies. I do not think our labor laws could be enforced there, as the Chinese and the natives are the only ones who can do the work. The climate is unsuited to white men, as it saps the vitality. I do not think the Filipinos should ever be made | citizens of the United States with equal | privileges to ours. As soon as they get | a little education they are the worst ty- | rants on earth and have a natural ten- | dency to treachery and theft.
