THE DUTCH IN HOLLAND
Tho Department OF State mas received q report on
the social and political Of the Dutch from the
Minister OF the United States to The Hague. AS an
illustration OF the carefulness and steadiness OF the
Dutch tho Minister says that thore been bank
failure IN Holland during the last forty years. and
tho paper money OF tho banks during That time has
been equal to gold. In regard to lro insurance
panlos thero Is no such thing failure record
and whiic of insurance does average
than halt of pcr cent, the companies arc IN tho
most nourishng condition, realizing twelve sxeon
per cent per annum. First class railroad
travel Is only one cent per milo, and yet
tho roads pay good dividends Plerng officials
are scarcely heard Of and when they shock the
nation by turning they arc severely punished ana
forever disgraced No FREQ passes are granted, and
managers and directors have power to pass any
rates. Dishonesty of any kind or failure in business
means public dishonor and utterly bars the dishonest
from any fu,uro public consideration. Four millions
OF people 1.-Two within OF 1000 square miles,
fact unprecedented in uny other country and all ap
pear to be happy, prosperous aud oontented. Tho
secret Of this prosperity lies tho fact that all live
within thor income. and that industry and honesty
arc principles firmly established that their viola
tion is looked upon outrage on tho national
characteristics
CHANCE FOR THE UNITED STATES.
In answer tho trade circular recently issued from
the Department of State the United States Minister to
Japan draws attention to tho large OF cotton
and woollen manufactures imported into that country
the imports OF cotton yarn alone during the month OF
July, OF tho present year, reaching almost TO halt
million dollars. These manufactures come direct
from England and tho Minister can why
tho United States cannot supply japan with all the
cotton and woollen fabrics shc requires, taking
in return silk, tea, sc, from that country.
During tho year 1876 tho imports OF Japan from
England amounted to $l2 244, $685. while her exports
10 England amounted TO only s2,b66,io3 During tho
Same yeor the imports into japan from the United
States amounted 70 only 81 0s3 while her exports
TO tnc United Statos amounted to So Ss7 307 Thus,
Japan only buys from the United States than one
sixth OF her purchases from England, while tho United
States Purchases from her nearly three times the
amount purchased by England With the very friendly
relations existing between the United States and ia
pan, and the superiority OF manufactures It only
requires an effort the part OF the merchants and
man ufacturcrs Of the United States reverse the
above showing.
