It has often been remarked that sa-
wage and uncivilized races, when
brought in contact with. civilized men,
select the vices rather than the virtues
of the latter for imitation. A new il
lustration of this Is offered by the ia.
panese. who have adopted an irredeem-
able papcr currency in imitation of our
greenbacks, and who have Just engaged
q person connected with our Internal
Revenue Department to go to Japan and
establish custom-houses for the proteo.
tion of Japanese industry, whiskey rings,
and other vicious features of Radical
finance. This imitation of our tariff and
collateral vices is, moreover, return to
the worst errors of early Japanese bar
barism. Formerly the Japanese we're
the most devoted adherents Of protec.
ton, and they not only protected ia.
panese manufactures. but also Japanese
men and women. by prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of foreigners under any cir
cumstances. Within the past twepty
years the nation mas emerged from the
darkness OF its proteotiolist days and
has been partially civilized under the
influences Of free trade. Now, however,
it has chosen to relapse into q barbarisnn

q safe out Of the ruins on South Water

threw it on the wagon. He caught it on

it weighed 2,464 pounds. The man

which he said:
