This volume contains the official record of hearings held before a subcommittee of the Committee on the Philippines, composed of Senators Allison, Beveridge, and Dubois, in 1902. The hearings focused on establishing a system of currency for the Philippine Islands in the wake of the Spanish-American War and the subsequent American administration of the Philippines.

The transcripts offer detailed insights into the economic and political considerations that shaped American policy in the Philippines during this crucial period. Witnesses and experts provided testimony on various aspects of currency design, implementation, and its potential impact on the local economy and the relationship between the United States and its new territory.

This historical document is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of U.S. colonialism, economic development, and the early 20th-century Philippines. It sheds light on the complex challenges and debates surrounding the establishment of a stable and equitable currency system in a newly acquired territory.
