DRY GOODS.

The history Of the dry goods trade in
America is practically the history Il the
country. In the early days when the
adventurous trader at out into the wild-
with hi> sled or pack OF goods TO trade
for furs the larger proportion Of his stock
was dry goods From the moment when
he came into contact with civilization,
the first object OF admiration that caught
the eve Of the savage was the laudy cal
leo or fiaring blanket that only the loom
can produce. The bills Of lading ana
invoices OF the early days were filled with
products of the loom, brought out, some
for trade with Indians. others for the
white inhabitants OF the new country
Dry goods, in one form or another, is
the staple in trade from the eastern
states, and is large factor in the total
OF >eattle's trade.
Ash Is with the dry goods trade. % it
is with its more artificial handmaiden,
the millinery trade. The dry-goods man

cry man deals in articles which only the
exigencie. OF fashion can bring under
that heading Yet, he prospers- for ever
since Eve first made her tunic Of leaves

nance her beauty Ivy artificial means.
The squaw who invei-les her dusky lord
into purchasing her string OF beads or
gaudy petticoat, and the pretty girl
who whee,iles her father or husband out

costume, stand on precisely the same
footing. Both are daughters Of Mother
Eve. and both do good for trade by put

with those We have mentioned.
There are five wholesale dry goods
houses now doing business in Seattle, n

FISH.

>eattl,'s fish trade i growth OF only
the last four or FIVE wears, hut has al
ready attained very considerable pro-
portions, employing more than a thouS.
and men during the last season, and
promises far greater development in the
near future. The trade is being devel-
oped in a very satisfactory manner by
those interested. Puget Sound fish are
rapidly working their way into new
markets, and already several ears OF
halibut have been shipped to Boston.
where they entered into successful COM
petition with the product of the New
England fisheries The fisheries of the
North Pacific are the most valuable in
the world. So far a. known, and Seattle
is their natural distributing point. Con
siderable alarm has been expressed by
those interested in the New England
fisheries in regard to the serious compe-
tition threatened from the Pacific coast.
Dried fish are already being shipped BY
the carload To- New York, and thence t.
the West Indies and Central and South
American markets; and with the de-
velopment OF our direct trade with
Central and South America We will be at
still greater advantage. God can be
caught in Behring sea, brought to Seat
tie and dried or cured for cent pound
less than on the Atlantic coast, and at
the present rates can compete with the
New England fisheries in their own ter
ritory. The North Pacific goldfish is
destined to take 4 front rank. 1t is
plump and heavy meated, and makes an
admirable fish for curing for market.
A similar business might be worked up
in shipping smoked halibut East. The
trade il now controlled by Gloucester
Mass, but fish are more abundant on
this coast. and can be caught and smoked
more cheaply. Heretofore, smoking and
curing fish has only been conducted in a
very desultory fashion on Puget Sound.

Silver IN France.

The siiverites are continually calling at
tention 10 the large amount Of silver in
circulation fin France as an argument in
support Of their demand that our minis
shall be opened 10 the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver at the ratio OF ls to J.
But the position Of silver in France is not
one that ought 70 give the silverites much
satisfaction. The free coinage OF silver in
that country ceased long ago and the sill
YER coin that circulates at par is depen-
dent wholly upon the credit Of the govern
mcnt- Had the coinage OF silver been con-
tinued the governments credit would not
have been sufficient TO keep the silver cur
rency on an equality with gold currency.
The French people and travellers In
France are likely to be heavy losers from
the depreciation Of the silver coins that
were issued prior to 1se4 The one and
two franc pieces have been called in by
the government. and they are worth com
mercially only about one-half Of their
fare value. Travellers are being warned
to accept them for only their bullion value.
II our mints should be opened to the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver It
would not be very lang before the people
would become distrustful Of the silver
dollar and would refuse to accept It at
its face value. The credit Of the govern
ment might keep it on an equality
with the gold dollar for a little while but
the mints would not be at work long be-
fore 1t would be refused except at its
bullion value. We have much more sill
yer now in circulation than the people
want. 1t keeps finding its way to the
banks and back to the treasury. That is
a sign that the danger point has
about been reached. An effort to
force the people to accept more sil-
yer than they are willing to take would
result In a refusal to accept silver except
at its bullion value. In the event of such
a refusal the loss to the people would be
enormous because there Is a vast amount
of silver currency in their possession.

Ambitious Japan.

Japan has met with such little resistance
in her war with China that she has be
come imbued with the idea that she can
impose such terms upon the latter coun-
try as she pleases. According to the cable
dispatches she wants to control the Chi
nese government. reorganize the Chinese
army and navy and form a close alliance
with China for the purpose of resisting
European influence.
This is a very ambitious scheme. It in
dicates purpose on the part Of Japan
to become not only one of the great pow
ers of the world, but also virtually to
dominate the east.
If it be true that Japan has any such
purpose her idea of her own Importance
has grown greatly since her difficulty with
China began. She may even think she
could cope with one Of the great powers
of Europe in a conflict of arms She would
be speedily undeceived if she should pro-
woke war with England or Russia.
She viii not be permitted by England
to humiliate China to any great extent
in settling the terms of peace England
cannot afford to allow Japan to carry
into effect schemes for her own aggrand-
zement and she will even risk having
trouble with other European powers be-
fore she will permit the trouble between
China and Japan to be settled upon any
basis that would threaten her own inter-
ests.
1t is in the power of Japan, however,
to make great deal of trouble for Eu-
ropean powers, and she may insist upon
pursuing a course that would have that
effect.

An Interrupted Invocation.

An indulgent grandparent has long been
celebrated. but the record of his fond fool
ishness with his grandchildren has I'M
doubtedly been broken by a venerable
divine of this city, says the Outlook. He
was one of the old-fashioned parents, now
almost obsolete, who brought up his
own sons with an unrelaXing vigilance,
never indulging them or himself with a
single deTelictiOn from strict rule They
do credit TO his training. perhaps, be-
cause IL was JudlciOuSly cOunteracted by
an extremely jolly and easy-going mother

responsibility of training the child rested
with his parents, he INDUCED himself and
the boy equally, and the two were boon
companions and playfellows, the child see

The climax of his tyranny was reached
one morning at prayers. He knelt, as

Christmas in a stupendous Institution.
Its influence reaches the confines OF the
earth and moves probably half the human
family. 1t annually levies p tax upon
incomes for a sum as great as The ransom
OF half a dozen kings; yet the tax is
cheerfuliy rendered up and the majority
Of payers only regret their inability 20
do more. The Christmas holiday is an
occasion that interests all the people i'm
every Christian country. Whether the
individual be a Christian is not a consid-
GRAFTON; the spirit OF the event works
upon the just and the unjust. and even
the heather and the infideI in Christen-
dom in one way or another come under
its influence.
Yet this great and powerful institution
had very humble beginning-in the birth
of a baby in the feed-box of a stable ia
Bethlehem, There must be some great
and good reason why this custom Of cele-
brating the birth Of the Babe in the Man
ger has survived so many centuries. If
the wise men who have for nearly 200
years scrutinized the religion founded
by that babe in after years had found it
specious. Christianity and all Of its con-
comitants would ages ago have been
repudiated. But as the fleeing centuries
go and church-yards grow. the dominion
Of the Babe of the Manager is extended and
Christmas is observed in lands where
heather rites were once practiced.
The true spirit OF Christmas is like that
of little child-generous, warm-hearted
and happy. The patron saint Of Christ
mas carries a big boys sunny heart be
meath his shaggy, snow-white beard, and
the literature of the season is character
lied by love and joy-giving surprises. At
Christmas dun care should be brushed
aside, as far as it may possibly be; per-
sonal differences forgiven and forgotten,
and peace, goodwill and good cheer made
the order
Christmas without charity would not be
complete. The greatest happiness is to be
found in making others happy. No sea-
son offers more opportunities for direct
and helpful charity than Christmas. The
holiday gives a respite from work. and
few hours may be most profitably spent
in seeking TO tighten the burdens of and
brighten the occasion for Gods unfortun-
ates, whom we have always with us.

Canada's Banking System.
From The Chicago Record 0ndD.

Canadian banks are required By law to
redeem their notes at the place of issue
and also TO maintain redemption agencies
at the principal cities of the country The
Baltimore plan is criticised because it
does not not provide for such redemption
the Canadian system Is elastic ana allows
expansion or contraction according 10
need. The paid mp capital is So. 200. zoe
but the average circulation is SSl 100. 600
or 50 per cent. In October, when the
crops are being moved, the circulation is
at its maximum, about 50 Der cent In
May II is about IS per cent. The president
of the Winnepeg board Of trade SAID some
time ago, IN praise Of this banking sys-

tons loaned 10 Dakota and Minnesota
grain dealers some $4,000. 600 Canada suf-
