THE DALLAS CONFERENCE.

Dallas. Texas, April is-(StaN Cor
rcspondence)-At an informal conference
of some OF the sound money men, Henry
u. Mcdonald OF Paris was favored as
conservative and safe leader of the con
ference.
one of the parties present exclaimed:
NO man with an inconsistent record
should lead. People will not follow the
leadership OF man who advocates free
silver one day and gold the next"
Another party delivered n sound money
address from which | caught the follow
ing on my cuffs: our free silver senators
and congressman have for years. IN sea-
son and out OF season. olamored for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. Yet
none of them have requested that their
yer diem and mileage be paid In silver
Had they requested and received silver
they could have put millions of dollars in
circulation which are now lying idle In
the treasury. And had. silver mine cor
porations, engaged In loaning money
payable In silver instead of stipulating
Tor gold al the present weight and
standard, they would have created such Il
DEMAND for silver that, doubtless, not a
tional treasury. II seems to me that
prudence would suggest 10 the people that
before they enter upon the dangerous ex-
age OF silver they should require their
senators and representatives in congress
ana the silver mine corporations TO- for a
while practice what they preach. They
should he reauired TO attest their faith
by their works"

The News, with it's party tail long since

but the true democrats, of whatever
faction. will not respond 10 this invitation.
Those who wero sincere IN bellcviag that
the executive committee in the first in

narrow rule, and simply desired to see
such action resc!ndcd In order that all dem

JAPANESE COMPETITION.

A well known citizen writes to The Poet
In comment upon a recent editorial on the
fear OF Japanese competition with Ameri-
can manufacturers, and In so doing be-
trays an evident misleading or miscon-
struction OF The Posts remarks. Hc says:
II notice you say In The Post that tho
Japanese manufacturers are confined to
ciirios and bric-a-brac, hence enclose the
following excerpt from the New York Dry
Goods Economist" etc.
The Post did not say that "Japan's man.
ufactures were confined TO curios and brio
a-brac." Nearly every one who keeps up
with current progress, now. knows that
Japan is enjoying an industrial revolution
and Is manufacturing largely OF most ar
t,cles of common use and becoming expert
in many directions. whero formerly II de-
pended on Europe or America. What The
Post said was this. quoting from the edi-
torial in question;
VIVA, competition. however, We now feel
from japan Is In the realm of curios and
bric-n brac and In line of products not
largely raised nor manufactured In the
United States. Japan does not vet enjoy
even a practical monopoly of her home
market. and when that has been conqucrei
tho expansion OF her commerce VIII mat
urally extend first Into China, and the
Straits and India.
The Post was not discussing the extent of
manufacturing In japan. but the absence
of any present cause for fear Of competi-
ton from Japan through Its imports. And
the position of The Post was correct. Tho
only Competition we now feel" is in tho
realm Of Japauese ar, work. In curios and
hric-a-brac and in silks and other articles
where the raw material Is not raised ia
competition is not generally felt, nor likely
to njurc any great National iHdustry-at
least for years TO come.
The Japanese imports all told In 1886 were
under s25.Ca ono in value, the balance
against us was about SIS 100000 and the
bulk ot these were comprised of silks In
quantity and our immense purchases Of
tea. The Economist lntimntos that we
manufacture of hate and boots and shoes,
but these articles are not brought In as vet
in sufficient quantities to excite any alarm.
Competition by Japan, In short is not now
felt to amy nppreciablc extent and, as Tho
Pos, remarked. the time is FAR OF when it
| Will be really pertinent to talk about hig h
