SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 5, 1896.
Editor Call: notice an article in your issue
of the 1st inst. under the head of "Attar of
Roses" stating that an invoice of mine had
been held at the Custom-house, indicating
that my goods had been seized for duty. 1t is
true that had an invoice of the article named
and that question. of the duty thereon has
been raised, but the merchandise has not been
seized. Under the Wilson and previous acts
altar of roses is free of duty by name, without
any words of limitation whatever. The Col
lector of Customs Is disposed to collect duty
upon 1t as an essential OIL" and that ques-
ton has gone to the Board OF General Apprais-
ers; but / apprehend that the Collectors s
action will not be sustained, because the rule
of construction is well settled, that special
section relieving altar of roses from duty will
control a general section assessing duty upon
essential oils, of which altar OF roses is one of
many. l have imported this commodity be-
fore and it has passed the customs officials
without imposition of duty: Yours,

FINANCES OF NATIONS.
The Recent Heavy Bond Issue
of the Empire of
Japan.
Her National War Debt-A Big De-
posit and Increased Internal
Expenses.

The existing financial policy of Japan
is likely to exert greater or less influence
upon the future actions of other nations
newly issued bonds. S. Hayakawa, pri-
vate secretary to the Minister of Finance
OF Japan, said yesterday:
There is now on deposit IN the Bank OF
England the sum of f22. III. $50 to the
credit of the island empire, and America
and England are watching anxiously to
see what she will do with it, Under the
system lately adopted by Viscount Wata-
nabe, the Minister of Finance, there will
be great increase in the governmental
expenditure.
1.-THE national debt of japan $685.
131 ,000) was the result principally of the
change from the feudal to the State sys-
tenn of government and of the reorganiza-
ton of its finances necessitated by the
late war with China. The ancient foreign
debt will oe hquidated within year and
recently Europeans and Americans have
been investing literally in Japanese bonds.
These bonds comprise the feudal pension,
the naval, the consolidation, the war and
the state railway bonds.
1.-THE war bond was issued last year and
bears interest at the rate of per cent per
annum. The railway bond. issued in 1892,
has been gradually increased until it now
amounts to 6,OOO,O0O yen
1T is expected by her Ministers that the
public loan of Japan will be somewhat in
creased in the future to permit OF the
speedy construction of railroads, etc, but
the policy of the Government is cautious
and opposed to incurring any debt until a
way has been devised for its payment.
1.-The Bank of Japan issues the only
paper money, which is convertible with sill
yer, on demand. The national bank notes
are being gradually replaced by the paper
money. The Bank of Japan, in Toxic,
under the strict supervision of the Gov
ernment, is now authorized to issue only
paper money, convertible with silver"

The State Central Committee of tn,
Populist Party Expresses Itself
on Democracy
At meeting of the executive commit

At meeting of the executive committee
of the Populist State Central Committee
held in this City last Saturday, the follow
ing resolution on the Democratic nominee
was adopted:
WHEREAS, The metropolitan press of the two
old parties is continually misstating the posi-
ton OF the Peoples party, and thereby is mis-
leading the uninformed regarding the Peoples
party position on great National questions. and
especially as TO its attitude toward indorsing
the Democratic nominee for President OF the
United States, should such nominee be silver
candidates;
Therefore, the State Executive Committee of
the Peoples party OF California in session on
July 4. 1896, in the most emphatic manner
declares T. al at no time and al place has it
considered that such union or fusion or COM
bination or Endorsement would be either possi-
bic or desirable.
Furthermore We declare that, as q commit
tee, we viii not support the Democratic nomi-
nee for President under any circumstances.
That the reason for such action arises from
the fact that the Democratic partT is a party of
conservatism and is antagonistic to the princi-
pies of Populism.

correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record, DR.. franklin CHANGED to dine
with the English and French ambas-
sailors, when, as nearly as the precise
words can be recollected, the follow
ing toasts were drunk: "England-
the sun whose beams enlighten and
fructify the earth" The French
ambassador, filled with national pride
but too polite to dispute the previous
toast, drank the following:
'France-the moon, whose mild,
steady and cheering rays are the de-
light of all nations, consoling them
in darkness, and making their dreari-
ness delightful, in revealing the silver
lining of every cloud. DR.. Frank
lin then arose, and with his usual
dignifed simplicity said:
