idea OF separating from the mother
country, both from political and patri-
otto reasons. A great many Cana
dams understand that separation from
England might be followed by a move
ment FOR annexation to the United
States. for which they are not pre-
pared. and others know that the main
tenancc of an independent position

PROSPERITY IN JAPAN.
An Interesting Document for Wage
Farmers 40 study.
lInr1-nl,a NNnnklN

Harpcr's Weekly.
II the wage earners have any doubt as to
the Indifference of the leaders of the silver
movement to their interests, they should
read senate document 81 of the first ses-
sion of the Fifty-fourth congress. This
document consists of some letters written
by a Mr.. John p. Young to the San Francisco
Chronicle, and published in that paper on
| December Is, 1895, and February 2, 1895.
They were presented to the senate by Mr..
Teller, the chief of the free coinage party,
and were printed in obedience to the order
OF that free silver body. Wage earners
will find in them a remarkable argument
| addressed to the employers of labor for
| the purpose of warning them of the COMPETE
ton with the manufacturers of this country
threatened by the manufactures of Japan,
and suggesting a way to meet It, In briet.
| Mr.. Teller commends and endorses the argu-
| ment that as Japan has really decreased
wages by becoming a silver country, the
rivalry of her manufactures is to be feared,
and cannot be met unless our own manu-
factuTerS also reduce wages by adopting
the silver standard.
But we shall permit this extraordinary
| document to speak for itself. After more
than twenty years of Intellectual effort to
maintain bimetallism, Japan went to a silver
basis in 1878, and at the present time two
| silver ycns "a yen being the equivalent Of
our dollarl are equal in value to one gold
yen. In the meantime wages have not ad-
vanced, so that their purchasing power has
been reduced by about one-half. Senator
Teller's paper quotes the following telling
statement from Sir Edwin Arnold, who is
speaking of the industrial skill and capacity
Of the Japanese:
"And when one realizes that this ability
and capacity can be obtained there for an
average of 8 cents a day, against 81. so a
day and upward in America, and 4 shillings
upward in England, ii is not hard to see
that there is reason in what | say"
There are some further rates of wages eX-
hibited in the Teller paper. From it we
learn that carpenters, plasterers. and some
others receive &c cents a day; tailors and
dyers receive "a cents; male servants, 10
cents; laborers, 10 cents; and women weav-
ers, 312 cents.
The paper contains other statements,
some Of them taken from the reports of
our own consular officers. while others are
from the letters Of English and American
newspaper correspondents. They are all
intended to show that Japan threatens our
manufactures, because, by reason of the
adoption or acceptance of the silver basis,
| the labor cost Of their products has been
reduced onc-half. The argument is, there
fore, that If this country will follow the
! example Of Japan and become a silver coun-
/ try our manufacturers will be able to COM
pete with their Oriental rivals. Otherwise
there is danger that the cheap product of
Japan will injurc our capitalists. The pa
Per was evidently not intended for the read
ing of wage earners.

MILLS, NOT MINIS.

One sentence of william McKinley's

address Of William ]. Bryan at the Madison
Square Garden. A small band of SURVIVORS

Rosecrans, General Il. =. Scammon and
Rutherford Il. Hayes were in turn colonies.
and Stanley Matthews vas once lieutenant
colonel, visited Mr.. Mckinley at Canton.
After referring to subjects living in their
mutual memories. he spoke of their loyalty
to their country, its credit and currency in
the present emergency, and said:
81 do not know what you think about 1t,
but | believe It is a good deal better to open
up the mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open up the minis
of the United States to the silver of the
world"
No wonder his old comrades Interrupted
him with cries of You are right Mr..
Mckinley had struck to the root of the
present hard times. Busy mills rather than
more mints are what the people OF the
United States need today.
The remedy for our business depression
proposed by Mr.. Bryan and his associates
is a uuack prescription. Its proposal alone
has added to the depression for which II is
claimed it Is the one and only panacea. 1t
has shaken the confidence in our national
honor and thrown discredit on our national
credit.
Of a truth, more mills, not more minis,
are what the United States wants.

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.

The American people have an interest
in all that is taking place politically
among our northern neighbors. Hence
the movement that has recently started
in Canada having in view the complete
separation of the country from England
merits attention. even though it has as
yet attained very small proportions. A
few months ago Il small republican
group was formed mt Toronto which
issued II manifesto strongly anti
imperialiStic in tone. 1t was widely
published and while generally diSap-
proved of by the press. is said to have
met with Il great deal of private ap-
proval. According to late advices the
strength of the movement is more
developed among the French of Quebec
than the English-speaking people OF
Ontario. though it is stated that among
the latter The idea of independence is
gaining ground steadily. always except
ing the title hunters and hat class who
privilege ut the demand of imperialism.
1t is undoubtedly true that the senti.
ment for independence has been N
what encouraged by the result of the
last general election. The success Of the
liberal party demonstrated that not all
of the Canadian people are irrevocably
committed To the control of the con,
sentative party, which is of course the
English party. Every influence OF
imperialism that could be brought to
bear in that campaign was used and il
was used under circumstances which
seemed to promise success. If there was
ever Il time in the recent history of The
Dominion when the conservative party
ought to have won that time was mt the
last general election. All the cOnli
tons, with the possible exception of tht
Manitoba school issue, seemed To favor
it. The British secretary for thu
colonies was bidding for colonial support
by proposing "A policy hat would bind
the whole imperial structure into !;
closer commercial union, The whole
power ana influence of the British gov.
eminent was being brought to bear tC
induce the people of the Dominion tC
adhere more closely TO the Britisl

were appealed to in behalf of the main
tenance of the existing conditions. YeI
the liberal party won and its victory
was significant of the fact that there
is IA majority of the people of Canada
who are not absolutely controlled from
London.
Blu Notwithstanding all this, it would
be n mistake TO conclude that Canadian
independence is a matter of the neal
future. There are stin powerful infiu
ences there which are opposed 70 TIT
