What possible show has silver TO rally
from this catastrophe that has befallen
II? The East was it's great market but
II seems certain that It has now lost the
East. The importations into China have
fallen off seriously Of late and the reason
IS apparent China will not accept In
struction from any Western country, but
the Japanese mingle freely with them and
are. in a certain sense, OF them. The re-
cent war. too. made the Chinese sensible
OF the improvements japan had secured
by adopting Western ideas. China sees
Japan dlscarding silver and It naturally
makes her ask II this can be another OF
those Western ideas that japan applies
with such terrible effect during their war.
China IS importing less silver and her

But the famine that has been Prevailing
IN India has done much to open the eyes
Of the ignorant people. Under the pres
sure Of famine the natives have been
compelled to bring out their boards OF
silver TO exchange them for food. When
doing this they have found that rupee
stored by them as forty-eight cents will
now exchange for little more than TWEEN
~ cents worth Of food. This has serious
" abridged purchases OF silver in India.
Where then will silver find a market TO
take the place Of the one 1t has lost In
Japan, China and India? Nowhere in the
world, for all Of the gold standard coun-
tries except England have silver for SALE
France has a great stock which she is be-
ing troubled to keep at parity with
gold; Germany has a remnant Of hers
still unsold. and Austria and Russia both
want to convert their silver coins into
gold coins. The bullion value Of an
American silver dollar is to-day but

probability is that it will soon
be much less, unless its old

LapaN,s urnoIc ACTION. ,

The world has been informed for several
months that Japan intended to adopt the
gold standard, but the full import of that
statement has not been made known.
In the first place it completely meets
and overthrows the point made by all
free silver advocates that the East using
silver as its money, has been getting
rich out Of the gold using countries and
particularly the United States. Japan's
action Is a declaration that she wants
none of the wealth that "a deprecated
money secures. Controlled by enlighten-
ed men she announces to the world that
such wealth is illusory and nothing more
than supposed proats that spectators
add up in their books.
But the action actually taken by japan
is the interesting part of the matter She
has announced that she will redeem her
silver coins with gold coins at a ratio Of
s2.siS to one. That is to say she will give
one ounce Of gold for S2S4S ounces of her
silver coins, which silver she will then
sell in the market for what she can get.
Here is this Eastern and semi barbarous
people setting an example in sound fl
nance 20 the civilized world that is all
John Locke or Sir Isaac Newton could ask
for in a nations behalf.
Ii is the most heroic act that we know
OF any nation having ever performed in
civil affairs.
OF course this action of Japan is the
dcadliest blow that the free silver adyo-
Gates have ever received. They have been
telling us that the East knew good finance
and that what 1t wanted was silver and
a plenty Of IT, But here is the most en-
lightened OF all the Eastern nations an
swering them that she will not have
silver upon any terms and that she will
foot her loss like an honest man and rid
herself OF the whole business so that she
may stand upon an equal footing with
those other nations with which she has
trade relations.
From the day Japan made her an
nouncement in respect to her silver coin
age the price of silver has been steadily
declining On Saturday, February 9TH

Of tempting opportunities FOR profitable

that conffonts as al present. What is

the story. All business men in the South
