English and American Debts.

Is it merely a coincidence, we wonder,
that connects the decrease of the national
debt and the increase Of local Indebtedness?
Since the Crimean war the national debt
has been diminished by moro than e1OO,-
100, 900, while the local indebtedness in
the same time has increased by nearly the
same amount, and now stands e21O, OOO,-
600, or something like 80 per cent Of the
national debt. The same popularity is
seen in the United States. The Americans
have wiped out a vast war debt with as
tonishing rapidity, but their local indebt-
edncss has increased considerably faster
than their national indebtedness has di-
minsshed. There is something intensely
conservative and genial in human nature.
You are apt to economic by giving up
your stables, and two months later find
yourself the proud possessor of aryacht; or

A Coin That Would Help American Com
merce In the Orient.
TACOMA, Wash, July 1.-Repre-
sentative VIII. Doolittle left for Wash
ington to spend the summer there,
~transacting business of Importance to
the state. AS result of his recent
Oriental trip, he will work to secure
the enactment next winter of measures
providing for the coming of "chop''
dollars, for use in the transaction of
business in the Orient-in Japan and
China especially. Mr.. Doolittle says:
"Great Britain has been long coming
these dollars, placing the Japanese
chop, or characters representing the
silver, in the place, on one side, and
the British stamp Oh the other.
This currency has been of great
service to British merchants
~transacting business in China and
Japan and hence to the British nation
at large. Our trade dollars might have
served the same purpose, but lacking
the Chinese chop or character indi-
eating value, the Chinese and Japanese
did not understand them and would
not use them. The measure, I think,
congress will enact, will provide for the
coinage Of these dollars with the eagle
on II side and the japanese chop on
the other. The piece will be irredeem-
able in gold and will contain about the
same amount Of silver as the American
dollar. 1t will purchase in Japan
about double the amount a gold dollar
will purchase in this country.
