It is to the interest of the United
States to cultivate the friendliest rela-
tions with Japan. If there were no
other reasons than the low down one of
pocket considerations, that of itself
would be sufficient. Japan is one of
the best markets for our export trade.
Japan is going to have some of the
ships of her new navy made here.
She calls constantly for American
teachers, mechanics, engineers, cleo
tricians, military men and scientists
to enter her service, paying them
the highest price therefor. Japan has
now the friendliest feeling toward
us. In the very unlikely case of any dis
pute between us and any Of the powers
Of Europe Japan would be sure to be on
our side, and it must not be forgotten
that Japan is to be great power in the
future. The little brown men have the
pluck and intellectual force of giants.
The man, therefore, who endeavors to
stir up feeling against japanese immi-
grafton into this country is an idiot.

The Worlds Mineral Production.
Eoo1a0,o, IL and in6r1 etrial tictioe, q 10

Economic and industrial statistics are
always fascinating reading for thought
.ful people. Such will be glad to receive
the latest published volume Of The
Worlds Mineral Industry, edited by
Mr.. R. P. Rothwell of The Engineering
and Mining Journal. The present vol
ume brings the subject up to the close
Of 1894.
There are over 100 minera1sknown to
comm cree, without counting the sepa-
rate varieties IF many Of the general
divisions Mr.. Rothwell's book deals
not only with mining methods, but also
with the range of prices and dividends
paid from year to year. We find that
1894 will go down in history as the
year Of low prices in the whole indus
trial world. For this reason, while the
production of some minerals decreased
very little, if at all, their money value
decreased very considerably. In copper,
for instance, there was in production an
actual increase of 26,250,000 pounds,
but the price was SO low that the cop
per industry fell off in. value 81, $3.50,
sos. During 1894 the production of
pig iron fell off about 100000 tons,
but this was in the early part Of the
year. At the close of 1894 the fur
naces were running full time, and this
year the promise is that the high water
mark of pig iron production, $1,000, 900
tons, will even be exceeded.
The United States decreased the min
ing of silver last year by Is per cent,
but the decline in value of the product
was $3.50 per cent. In spite of this the
United States still remains the greatest
silver country of the world. Last year
we mined about 5o,0oo,o 900 ounces of
silver.
The gold outlook is, on the whole,
encouraging. The actual increase Of
production in this country was last year
not quite 81, 100000 over 1898. There
was gain of Sc, TAO, 727 over 1892. We
find one point of especial interest in the
fact that the mining Of gold has been
reduced to bottom cost-lower than
ever before, Gold ores can now be re-
duced for So per ton, with miners
wages at So. SO to IS. 50a day. Another
cheering fact is stated by Mr.. Rothwell
as follows: "tThe time is evidently ripe
for applying improved processes to the
treatment of low grade gold ores, of
which we have great quantities at many
different points in the Rocky mountain
region and on the Pacific coast as we'll
as in the southern states.''

Will Not Enlist In the NAVY.

The number of our cruisers appears
to be increasing faster than the willing
ness of American boys to become sea-
men aboard of them. In fact, our new
navy threatens to be manned almost
entirely by Scandinavians, except as to
its officers. The ordinary seamen are
we'll treated. When man first enlists,
he receives $40 a month, with food,
clothes and lodging. Experienced sea-
men get 1914 month and have three
months at home on land out of a three
years. cruise
Still the native American boys will
not enlist aboard our beautiful new
warships. The reason is credit to their
heads and hearts. They will not accept
places in which there is no chance to
rise. A common seaman in our navy,
although he have the brains Of a Farra.
gut, will never be promoted to any rank
higher than that of boatswain or gun
ner. The officers places are reserved for
the spruce young graduates of Annapolis
Naval academy. AS a sailor said of
these: Before they can tie rope yard
properly they give orders to old seamen.
In any sort Of blow these kids become
SO ratified that they don't know what
they are about.
Plainly congress next winter needs
TO pass law making any place, even
that of admiral, open before the enlisted
seaman who studies navigation and fits
himself to take command. He ought to
be in regular line of promotion to the
very highest rank.
