city, does it think, listen to such unpar-

ought to have both district delegates,
at least one at large, and the congress
man. It has one-fifth the representation
in the convention, and should have at
least four-ffths of the honors. The
little fringe of the Sixth district lying

fciently honored IN being permitted to
pay tributeto Duluth's modesty.

The advances made by Japan in man
uiacturing during the past few years is
reviewed with no little apprehension by
the American manufacturer. Unprotec-
ted competition could not Iail to be dis
astrous to those interested in the pro-;
duction OF such. exile fabrics as the ia.
panese show such marked aptitude for
manufacturing. Our silver friends attri-
butte the advantage enjoyed by japan
wholly to the fact that Japanis free
silver coinage country and that country
is frequently referred to as being. if not
typicaIly prosperous, at least relative
ly so as compared wifi, the United. States.
This allusion to our oriental competitor
is unfortunate for the cause they advo-
cate. The American, of Philadelphia.
the ablest tree silver organ Of the East,
indulges in this line of argument, in it's
.latestissues The article inq~estion says:

From these wages the recipient m 1st paw
q all living expenses. The Japanese yen OF
s416 grains of silver is now worth but
SO 9 cents in United States gold coin.
Before silver was demonetized theyen
which contains 312 grains more of silver
than our dollar, was worth in gold a
fraction ever 100 cents, and then of
course the equivalent CT Asiatic wages
in United States gold was nearly double
the figures given in the second column.
Chinese and natives of india work for
even less. As they are paid in silver, the
further silver depreciates as measured
in gold, the smaller is the gold cost of
producing goods in Japan, and the low
er the price at which The Japanese mer-
chant can proftably sill his goods in
America for gold. Thus protected by
this divergence in the valne of gold and
silver the Asiatic will be enabled to un-
derbid the American workman in every
branch of industry.
That the Chinese and other Orientals
can live on half the wages needed by the
American workman for mere subsistence
is no fault of our legislation, but Our
Government is solely to blame for de-
monetizing silver and thus reducing the
n
degree which renders it simply impossi
BILE for our farmers, our planters and
our artisans to complete successfully
with the products of Asiatic labor.
Admitting for the sake of argument
only. all that the American says, and it
is purely assumptive that any advan-
tage sccrues to the Japanese over the
American workman by reason OF the So
called characterization of silver, and the
explanation of this threatening compe
erican workman, such as is weaver,
living upon FIVE dollars month, or
farm hand on less than half that sum.
So long as such wages prevail in Japan
but one course is open to the United
States in self preservation. Her work
ing men mus be protected by an ade-
quate tariff schedule. Furthermore, in
Japan. as IN every country upon silver
basis. labor is degraded. wages are low
and restitution and poverty such as
America can hardly conceive Of prevails.
Her standards of civilization are all low,
and it issuch standards that are content
with a silver currencv. Silver mono
metalism is concomitant with, even if
not responsible for, such social condi-
tions as there prevail. Instead of furnish
ing an argument tor free silver Mexico,
Japan and the Orient generally are OBJ
jectlessons quite the reverse. Competitions
at five dollars amonth is just as disas .
trous to the American laborer as at
two dollars per month. Again the HER
AID reiterates, the tariff Is the true issue
today, and once settled and adjusted
upon sufficient basis, and the money
question v i'll settle itself, except so far
as detail is conceived 81 3N' ~"

Oregon and California. Said Mr.. Reed:
II am only sorry Washington did not go
for Mckinley. l have always had great
regard for the Pacific coast states, and
while the campaign was in progress I
urged that efforts be made to save as
many of them as possible for the Repub-
lican party. The victory should not be a
sectional one, and for that reason cur sue
cess in Oregon and California, two of the
Coast states. is especially gratifying"
This was practically all Of the discus
sion OF matters political. Mr.. Reed said
he desired very much TO see Mount Rainier
and hoped the weather tomorrow would
he clear enough TO get a good view of the
Cascades.
Replying TO a question as TO the COM
plexion OF the senate and likely legsla-
talking for publication on these matters.
not desiring TO predict what legislation
would be enacted or what form IL would
take regarding the financial question.
