When Japan shall make (and she is now
beginning to malSe) all kinds Of wooden
carpets such as Philadelphia produces,
with labor that costs but 20 cents day,
and to make them well, what will become
Of our domestic carpet manufacture? I?
What VIII become Of our working people? ?
Indian cheap labor has already destroyed
Jute manufacture in Scotland. Is Japan
to produce similar result for our car
pet industry? Japan will manufacture,
not for domestic consumption only, but
for export. Soon we shall have Japtn-
ese carpets, cottons, watches, and even
machinery constructed by workmen who
earn not a tenth of American wages,
pressing into the port OF San Francisco.
II even a high tariff has not availed to
keep out European fabrics made with
cheap labor, what kind of tariff VIII
be reqnired to protect us from Japan?
No American manufacturer no American
workman can look toward the East with
clear vision without regarding the pros
pect as appalling.

THE BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE.

Those who are paying attention to
The various discussions on finance, and
who are trying to keep up with the de-
mand for more money, ought to study
the recent experience of Brazil. DuHng
her troubles Brazil needed more money,
and the printing presses were set to work.
The final result was paper currency Of
S75,O00.0OO and the gold reserve was only
slOO.OOO.OOo Brazil is a great republic,
enormously rich in resources, and, ac-
cording to the 'more-money" view, this
expansion of the currency ought to be
blessing, and every note ought to be as
good as a gold dollar, because the gov
ernments name was on 1t. Logically this
can be argued out to the satisfaction of
any silver or greenback advocate. But
the cold fact Is that the paper dollar is
worth only 40 cents. And on that valua-
tion loan has been made for the retire.
ment of a large part OF the issue. 1t
makes no difference how rich a country
may be. It cannot juggle with values.
There must be standard, and that
standard is gold. Whether money be
paper or silver, It must eventually be
measured by gold,-Baltimore American.
This is the same old law that asserts
Itself not alone in finance, but In all
commercial transactions; every commod-
ity is subject to 1t. Take, for instance,
the recent declaration Of one Of our lead
ing flour manufacturers, published in
an Eastern daily paper regarding the
consumption Of flour in China. He said
that when -four could be delivered in Cam
ton and Shanghai at price to permit
the Chinese to live cheaper ON IT than
on rice. then China became a good GUS
toner for -four. The cheaper commodity
simply drives out the dearer.
Take 1t in California in the lumber
trade. It is urged that redwood is design
ed for one class of uses. and pine for an
other. and the press and other ignorant
elements have declared that one is not
in competition with the other. But the
fact remains that when pine is dumped
before the consumers'at prices too low
for the redwood to reach, the latter is
driven out Of use even for purposes for
which 1t Is much better lifted.
1t is an irrevocable law OF trade appli-
cable to money as well as other commodi-
ties, that the cheaper takes precedence
and drives the dearer out of common use.
It is principle that labor should be well
acquainted with, for It Is one of the most
serious problems os the day-how we are
to prevent the hordes Of cheap. foreign
aaborers from driving American labor out
Of Its occupation. american labor and
American gold are attacked by the same
enemy-a cheaper standard. They can
preserve themselves only by standing to-
gether.

The farmers OF America who were de-
luded in 1SS Oand 1892 by the free traders
cry, Liverpool fixes the price of wheat"
now have painful leisure In which to dis
Germ THAT Liverpool fixes the price In
accord with American demand. When our
factories are running full time and when
wages are high the price of wheat is
high in Chicago, and consequently in
Liverpool. When our factories are not
busy and when wages are low the price
of wheat is low In Chicago, and conse-
quentIy In Liverpool "The buyer fixes
the price, is the rule of trade. No one
can sell at a higher price than another
is able to give. Chicago is the greatest
wheat buyer. 1t buys for 65,OOOOOO Amer
lean people. Liverpool is lesser pur-
chaser; it buys for S5,OOO,OOO Of English
men. Therefore, Liverpool does not fix
the price. The price is determined in the
greater market. Protection makes the
greater market brisk; low tariff makes it
dull

WHY IT WAS DROPPED.
The Silver Dollar Had Ceased to Circu-
late as Money.

Toledo Blade.
We have had dozens of letters within
the past three weeks asking why the
silver dollar was dropped from our com
by the law of 1873. The reasons were
stated by Representatives Cooper, Potter
and stoughton. in debate on the floor of
the house. The principal debate on the
bill took place In that body on April .,
1872. In speech In which he explained
the bill section by section MIR. Cooper
said:
'The silver dollar of Fgh grains, by
reason of Its bullion or intrinsic value
being greater than Its nominal value,
long since ceased to be coin OF circula-
tion and is melted by manufacturers
of sllverware. 1t does not circulate now
dn commercial TRANSACTIONS with any
country; and the convenience OF these
manufacturers In this respect can better
be met by supplying small stamped bars
Of khe same standard. avoiding the use
less expense of coming the dollar for
thai purpose" Congressional Globe, Part
3, I'd session 42d congress, pages 2,SOo, 2,SV6
ct seq)
In either house of congress at any time
objected to the dropping Of the silver
dollar They all apparently took the
view OF MIR. Cooper, Everyone who took
interest In the matter knew that the
gold dollar had been the real standard
since 1884; that the silver dollar, then
worth about $.OS cents. would not cir
culate side by side with gold because
1t was more valuable; and they felt that
1t was the proper thing to do. Represent
ative Potter said;

changes IN the legal tender coin Of the

coin OF only one metal Instead, as here

would be wise provision, and that legal

T!he Following communIcatior

The following communication written to
Chicago firm from the office OF p. J..
MCGOWAN & Sons describes the situation
50 well that we gladly give space for Its
publicatlon:
THE blueback run Is made up during
the months OF May and June, and not to
exceed seven or eight per cent OF the
blueback catch is made after July /. You
can understand from this that we are
closing In on the last Of the bluebacx
catch TOR this season. Last year our
pack OF biuebaclks ae the one cannery was
about 1000 cases. two-thirds of which
Quantity was packed up 10 the present
date. This year We have packed up to
this date 400 cases OF them as against
about l,A00 cases at corresponding date
last year. Notwithstanding the fact that
We have at least 80 per cent more facil-
dties for getting the fish and greatly
added advantage from the fact that for
nearly two weeks last year, about the
hrst or June, our gear was entirely laid
up In consequence OF The extraordinary
treshet We cannot, therefore, reasonably
expect pack OF more than coo cases Of
oluebacks at our Astoria cannery as
against 1000 cases last year, notw!th-
standing the very large increase In tish-
Ing gear, The run OF them is practically
ovSr az the present time and there
are note Of those indications that
to a fisherman. are fairly good evidence
az regards an increased run. Our belief
Is that our pack OF bluebaclks viii not
exceed 500 cases at Chinook for the sea-
son, although our pack OF chinooks, owing
to various circumstances and increased
quantity or gear Is more than 100 per
cent In advance TO date. The pack of
steelheada with us mot large. however)
Is about 80 per cent IN advance OF last
years catch and actually represents
about our incrsased proportion OF nets
and gear for taking them"
On the upper river the outlook for the
blueback pack Is even more discourag-
Ing than on the lower river. The new
Herrlck cannery has packed not to ex-
coed a carload to date, so they are not
a factor In the situation. The Dalles
cannery, which packed nearly 5000 cases
last year. four-tlfths OF which were blue
backs and stcslheads. cannot possibly
secure q pack exceeding 6.0OO cases The
Warren cannery which last year packed
more than 5000 cases. nearly all blue
backs, has no prospective chance OF
securing a pack IN excess OF 10000 cases.
Our own pack at the lower Cascades Is
largely made up OF Chlnooks. The per-
centage Of them we have got 10 date Is
about to / IN comparison with average
Irarg, whereas the quantity OF bluebacks
