Causes OF the Depression.

WASHINGTON, March 8.--The ma
iority OF the special committee Of the
House appointed to- inquire into the
causes of the agricultural depression
has prepared report saying that
since 1890 "the purchasing capacity
of the dollar to secure farmers land
and his produce has increased four
fold, while the power to pay his
debts and taxes has remained at
standstill."
Discussing the causes OF the depres-
sion the committee says: GLASS leg
islation Of the worst character encum-
bers the statute books and has been
carried on TO the detriment of agri-
culture and It's dependent industries
for thirty years. eliminating i'll the
crime Of the age, the decentralization
of silver in 1873.
"The decentralization OF silver was
bold stroke in the interest of capital
that has reduced the value of every

sively proven by the fact that just as
silver has deprecated, in like proper
ton have all other values fallen in
the scale.
"Ihe tariff system taxation is not
only unequal, but as for the past so
years administered in this country. is
most unjust to the consumer, and has
built up trusts, combines and gigantic
corporations that have not only
anna 1sad great wealth at the expense
Of the pepp!e, but assumed control
and directed Legislation so as to per
petuate their power and CRAFTY their
greed"
TO secure relief the committee sug
gest: First -rhOt silver should be

Seconl-So long as the present TN =

continues, agriculture should receive

Japans imports for 1893 amounted to
nearly s44, 900 according to report
of DR.. Paul Ritter, the Swiss vice con-
sui at Yokohama. Comparatively few
of the products were sent from Amer
lea. Great Britain manages to control
the greater part of the market there.
Americans have created Il stir in
Japan, though, by the establishment
of watch factory. This big concern
was described in detail in Il recent let
ter from Frank G.. Carpenter, the press
correspondent. Japan imported 103, TAT
watches in 1898 and S0,31S in 1892. The
value CT the watches imported in 1898
vas about S2G1, 800. Americans arc
after this trade, most of which has
rome to the Swiss. OF the 103, 747
watches imported in 1898, SG,713 came
from Switzerland, France sent 10,243,
Germany 3,G04, and the United States
:f,G04. Great Britain sent but COL. The
Swiss consul thinks that Swiss watch
makers have nothing to fear from the
entertainments of the Americans. Their
object, he says, is to manufacture cheap
watches. lie thinks that the Japanese
10 not want cheap American watches
or they would have bought them long
ago instead of paying more money for
the expensive Swiss article. The
Americans own onc-half the stock in
the now factory and make no secret Of
the fact that they arc on the ground to
take advantage of the remarkably
cheap labor of that country. Til;
American rollcd-gold or fillcd-gold cas-,
them were imported by that country
in 1893.
Japan imports goods to the value o.
about 100000 more than she exports.
iIer principal articles of export are rice.
tea and silks. In 1898 the exports o
Ica to the United States fell OF nca:l..

IDAHO FUGITIVES.
Murderer Lawson and Companions
Seen Near Weiser.

Boise. oct. 1.-THE Statesman has
the following from Weiser: Ed I.ally
and Emmett Taylor came into town Sat
urday and report that on Thursday,
while getting wood from the mountains
about twenty miles north of here, they
were approached by trio of strangers,
all of whom were heavily armed, and
from the descriptions given, persons
here who are acquainted with Paul =.
Lawson are positive it was that per-
sonage and his companions.
The description of the oldest of the
party tallies exactly with that of the
murderer, Lawson, for whom IL re-
ward of $1,000 is offered. The other two
were younger men. They had the APP
pearance COMMON to men who nave
been leading u rough, open-air life for
some weeks, and even appeared jaded.
They inquired the way to Mineral, and
asked If they could get into the Snake
river canyon by that way. That part
of Snake river or mo Mans Land" as
it is often called, is wild, almost inn
penetrable section, but of a very mild
and pleasant climate in the cold sea-
son, and just the place for fugitives to
find winter quarters in, there being
plenty of game.
