Sill YER IN FOREIGN TRADE.

The balances of trade in China and
Japan against thie country range from
500. 0O0. 900 to $25. OO0,0 00 annually. We
pay those balances in gold notwith-
standing Japan and China are silver
nations, This comes from allowing
London to be the clearing house of the
world and our practice of paying trade
balances indirectly through London in
stead of making payments directly and
through our own agencies. London
aenda little or no gold to China or Japan,
for payments are made with oliver, and
London is allowed to regulate the silver
market.
Balances of trade against us are in
scarcely none but silver countries and
by the practice of little good sense all
such balances might be paid with silver
instead Of gold. Our export trade with
such cour tries is email and our impor-
tations are large, and it lie in large part
done indirectly and through foreign
transportation, and payments are made
through foreign agencies. We are play.
ing second fiddle to European countries,
while from our wealth and ability to
produce we should be independent and
take the lead in international trade as
we are first in domestic commerce.
With proper effort there may be dis
! covered many ways in which silver can
| be utilized to help out in cur present
financial difficulties. We have been de.
pending too much on foreign capital to

seems beneficial, as it adds to the money

contrary appears, as is 90 kesnly real.

TO BE EXAMINED AGAIN,

to Be Strictly Legal.

A new chapter was record ed yesterday in the
noted Alexander Doctor embezzlement case.
1t wilt be remembered that Doctor embezzled
$4,000 from Nose Gunst, the tobacconist OF san
Francisco, for whom he was working ss sales
man. The money, or rather a check on which
Doctor drew the money from the Farmers and
Merchants bank, was given to him by Mike
Polaski, who owed Gunst for goods purchased
through Doctor
Some time after Doctors fight he was arrest
ed on a complaint charging him with the en-
bezzlemsnt OF $4,000 check from Gunst.
He was giyen a preliminary examination in
Justice Seaman's court and held to answer to
the superior court. The district attorney, In
looking over the com plaint. evidently found
flaw" for ne filed no informa ion, probably
on the presu n ption that the instrument would
not hold good when the case came W irtal.
new complaint was sworn TO yesterday py
Detective Bosqui. charging Doctor with the
enlightenment OF both the check and the mon
ey. The new move was probably based on ne
recent decision OF the supreme court wherein
no district attorney is allowed to file an lnfor-
nation on evidence other than tnat brought
out at the examination, or more properly
speaking. on charges not included in the pre-
Hminary complaint. -

Such also 10 the law touching the police
forces OF cities in many cases. 1t is
often said that IL is necessary to have

There may be some danger that boodlers

and his crime or mistake in such mat
ters the people must deal with.
Party spirit is apt to rise in proper
ton to the gravity of the issue before
the country, and upon which both sides
think they are right. and 1t also often
declines in the presence Of ouch an is
sue. Such was the case in both north
and south during the war. At the pres
emit time party spirit is subdusd by the
prevalence OF impure politics, for intel
ligent and honest men feel that unless
the political crimes which have been so
numerous and pervading in the Last
quarter of century, are not prevented
in future. there will be general democrat
izstion. confusion and anarchy. The
general disposition is to obliterate party
lines and to join in putting down MAJ
chine politics and bossism, and restore
to the people the management and con-
troll OF political methods. 1t is we'll
known that excessive taxation results
from defective or obiectional legislation
and from jobs put up to remove those
who sustain special interests and per-
form neiarious political WORK.
