The financial system of Japan was
remodeIed in 1871 pretty much along
American lines. It was in that year
that the little British miut, formerly
located at HouRkopg, having been
purchased by tho japanese, was set
up at Osaka, aud the work of coin
ing gold, silver aud nickel pieces
was commenced The silver coins
are one yen, corresponding to the
American dollar, though containing
4l6 grains OF 900 fine, with subsidiary
coins OF so sen, 20 sen and 10 sen
pieces, being one half. one. fifth and
one tenth of the value OF the yen.
There are also nickel coins of 5 sen
aud copper coins of sen. The gold
coin are 20, 10, 8, ? and | yen or
late years gold coinage has been
confined to the 5 yen pieces. Gold
coinage from 1871 to March 81, 1896,
was 67949,0S3 yen; silver coin, 6S,-
9O7,630 yen; nickel, 5,83S,507 yen;
copper, 12,41S,O57 yen, or grand
total of 255, 104, 1867 yen.
The silver ven is f1ll legal ten.
der with gold, aud is practically the
unit Of value The coinage for the
calendar year of 1894 was S1,576,440
in gold yen pieces aud S24, 131, 1868
in silver yens aud fractions of the
same. The silver coinage for 1894
was double that Of 1898 or 1892, and
by far the largest amount limited in
any calendar year up TO that date.
The stock OF coin in Japan at the
close Of 1894 was estimated at $780,
100000 in gold, S68,000,OO0 in full
legal tender silver and Sl6,300,000 in
limited legal tender silver. AS at
that time Japan was credited with a
population Of 100000, these
figures show per capita of circu-
lstion Of $1,95 in gold and S205 in
silver, equal to 4 per head of popu-
lation. Though nominally claiming
to DO on the double standard, Japan
is practically on the single silver
standard, with more paper than
metallic money in circulation.

possess. lou are wrong. We
are selling to-day genuine, cut
glass salt cellars, individual, in
different designs, for two bits
each; they've sold in other stores
in Honolulu as high as SO. It's
the way we buy. We have, also,
sets consisting of tray, one
pepper and one salt, silver tops
$2. You never heard of them
being sold anywhere for less
than $40. You never saw them
before in Honolulu. Our stock
goes from these small pieces to
the heavier and larger dishes
which sell at $3.50.
In cheap tumblers we offer a
thorough finished article at so
cents dozen and in case you
might wish to use them for pre-
serve glasses, we throw in tin
top for each. We have an en-
graved decanter, holds a quart,
80 cents, pressed glass pickle
or olive dish for 10 cents, a
berry set, 7 pieces, 70 cents.

A young and frisky horse attach
ed to brake driven by Chinaman

Gle after l o'clock p. m. to-day, in
front of Tim Murray's shop. Not
much damage was done, only that
poor Willie rolled off on the ground
in his white suit. Special Officer

The INDEPENDENT correspondents
have furnished our picayune, but
influential sheet, with too many
topics of interest to be replied to
off-hand. The information sent to
us and to the Hawaiian papers
having the same impressions as our
selves, are carefully preserved for
the peoples campaign; be it in 1897
or 1901.
