Japan and silver.

IL
The Hochi Shimbun states that the
amount of silver at present IN circulation
in this country Is over a0.ooo,o00 yen The
government calculates therefore. that no
less than ~. 600 yen viii have to he
called In and exchanged for gold when the
gold standard shall have been adopted.
Stunning that 10,oo0 Coo yen will flow in from
abroad in addition 10 the 80, C0000o yen al

likely. thinks the Hochi Shimbun, that of
the a120, ooo go yen, which have been ex-
pornS since the establishment OF the mint
no more than 10 o0e coo yen are now In eX-
istence. IL Is true that the Chinese may
possibly have chopped a large proportion
OF the silver yen. but the government is
under no obligation 10 pay gold In ex-
change for this deprecated coin, nor is Il
probable that this proportion has reached
anything like 100.000al0 yen. Moreover.
nobody would think Of defacing the silver
yen when the value IL represents is greater
than the current quotation. IL is evident
from the foregoing that the amount Of
silver in circulation must be greater than
was al first supposed, Some authorities
declare that ii is at least 20 600 600 or
even 50eoe00 yen. Another difficulty
TO be considered is the risk Of silver
yen being counterfeited. not with inferior
alley. but with coins containing the same
proportion Of silver as the trGe silver ven

en- stu further beneath its present nomi-
nal ratio. IT would then be dniicult 10 Ge-

are a few Of the most difficult problems
with which the authorities would have 70

Senator Turple OF Indiana. unconscious
II paid a very high compliment 70 the Re
publican party In the course OF his speech
on he tariff. he remarked that there was
already a large surplus in the treasury
Tnis Ii true. bat he omitted 10 mention
tHst ii Is still short OF about $500 COO. the
proceeds Of a bond sale. and that the
present administration is seeking - pay
oy debts and have = surplus ont Of cur
rent revenue. The surplus In the treasury
IL not the result OF revenue. because the
Wilson bill is still In operation. and that
amount represc ais the balance Of the first
bend Issue and the whole OF the SECOND.
The Republicans. unlike the Democrats,
do not rest content 10 live upon borrowed
money and make no effort to relieve the
Indebtedness u0tl 1t natures, and then
issue more bonds.
The senator also declared that the Re
publican majority In congress had made
everything subaeryient TO the tariff. Ha-
wall must wait. Cuba must wait. pensions
must wait. every interest Of legislation
must walt while these parties" executed
their plans. In other words. the Repub-
leans insist that the pledges made 10 the
people during the campaign must take
precedence of all other matters Cuba
must wait. Hawaii must wait. until Amer
lean interests are first conserved. until
American workingmen are employed and
home prosperity is restored.
sir, Turpie's charges are Well founded.
II would he the height OF folly TO be de-
voting time 10 the interests Of the Cubans
ana the Hawailans and making our own
people idly wait until the administration
had settled the affairs OF a little bit If
an island whose affairs scarcely interest
us. and unti II had interceded FOR the
Cnbaps. whose affairs interest US sim
less
II Is true Republican policy and the
condemnation Turrle utters is the most
precious compliment he could pay the
Republicans party. When we have at
tended To the wants ~ our unemployed.
when plenty once more bleSses this land
when our finances are so adjusted thar
Ne have an annual sufpus instead II a
growing deficit. then will the Republican
administration as zcaIously. vigorously
aud intellsentiy turn its attention 70 for
tisu politics.

paarfa think that because OF the Cuban
war :ae ir.porTatfcns OF cigars have fallen
or very considerably. II IL true that i
has rot been as easy 20 get Havana to-
hacco as :f was q few years ago, but the
average man Is smoking about as much
imported tobacco as he ever did. The Of
fetal figures show that last year. ont OF a
consumption OF BIS. 1854 cigars only -.
80 so were imported. About 300 coo were
made in this country out Of imported TO-
bacco. This means that while people may
have supposed they were using the So
called Havana and Key West goods. there
were only -. 1900 foreign tobacco cigars
smoked out of a total sconsunptson Of
nearly four ard half Billions.

MINI EAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 14.-Wheat opened
higher this morning, but trading was of a
light order throughout the morning session.
Inc speculative position of July wheat in
Chlcago is constant menace to the trade

gardinG the immense shortage in that future
andTthc very small quantity of contract wheat
IN store to NIL these contracts. These figures
have decreased from $4,000, 600 Blu down to
1O,0V GOO bu. The latter is large enough
10 keep guessing as to how these contracts can
be hlled with total supply Of about 2,00O,-
OCO bu; hence strong feeling prevails to let
that option alone. London reported buyers
indifferent, which is quite natural when an
exporting country like America shows from
part with its surplus at a sacrifice French
markets were weak and lower for wheat.
but higher for -four. Berlin is silent. be-
cause of the governments action in endeavor
ing to enforce anti-opticn laws.
European crop news generally reported a
backward season and probable lower aver
age yield. Reports from ROumanie this morn
ing said that the crop y3s damaged serious
ly, and reports from France show no i'm
provenent, with Italy complaining of almost
wintry weather. At home the position of
wheat appears to hold Its own. although there
is considerable solicitude shown in the North
west because of the extreme heat following
so sharply on a very cold spell. On Satur-
day Texas reported the harvest in full blast,
but today we learn that ~ inches of rain
has fallen in the principal districts where
the wheat OF that state is grown. This is
not favorable to early marketing of the new
crop. Local stocks decreased 730, 7SS blu, and
Duluth 5S0157 for the week.
July wheat opened at G97sc. against 69%0
