— The Publishers.
[87] CIVIL GOVERNMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES of tlie legislature of the islands, the Commission to constitute the other hranch. The House bill further provides for the selection by the pop- ular assembly and the Commission of two delegates who shall represent their constituents before the execu- tive and legislative branches of the Government at Washington. The House bill provides for the estab- lishment of a gold standard of value in the islands, to wit, the American gold dollar.
... It further provides for the coinage of a Filipino peso to contain silver of value in gold of about forty cents or less, and a use- ful and proper subsidiary coinage.
This coinage is to be limited to the government only, and the seignior- [88] CONGRESSIONAL ACTION age is reserved as a fund to main- tain the parity of the peso with fifty cents gold. Other means are pro- vided in the act by which the Phil- ippine Government is authorized to maintain the parity. It is hoped by the Commission that recom- mended this plan, and by the Com- mittee of the House, that it will prevent the fluctuations of value due to the use of Mexican currency, and will at the same time furnish a coinage so near to the present coinage as not to create a disturb- ance in values or in wages.
