President Mckinley paid all the expenses
of the trip on the Dolphin incurred on &C.
count of himself and his guests. The line
between the disbursements made for the
crew, borne by the government, and those
rendered necessary by the visitors, was
strictly drawn. The president uses no wine
and is accustomed TO very simple style of
living, and the sum needed to furnish the
tables for the visiting party did not exceed
n dollar day for each guest. This would
make total for the FIVE days of but $40.
No reduction in prices was made. 1t was

The Wool Schedule.

The wool schedule (Which will prove O.
| the most benefit to American consumers,
will of all others be assailed with the most
bitterness. There will be leyeed against il
the stock arguments of those who imagine
that the nation can become prosperous by
buying wooden goods abroad instead of maxi
ing them at home, and who believe 10 al
lowing American mills to lie idle, as they
have under the Wilson law, and who, in
order to buy cheap things, would be willing
to see the American fOcks destroyed.
Those who know that The opposite doctrine
is the best, as do all who are interested in
the American wool industry, must be pre-.
pared to vigorously defend this excellent
bill. 1t is better for the American wool
grower in many respects than any previous
tariff law with the possible exception of
that of 1867, and in view of the changed
conditions produced in the thirty years
since its passage, it is doubtful if it is not
even better for them than that law would
be now if re.enacted, Justice, Bateman &

Japan Adopts the Gold Standard.


From Sound Money.
During the presidential campaign the
Bryan orators were fond of referring to ia
pan as country where manufactures and
commerce flourished by reason of the free
coinage of silver. We were told by these
orators that there was some magic in the use
of silver standard which enabled Japan to
have an advantage over the benighted
countries of the world that persisted in the
use of the gold standard, and that we were
in great danger in the United States of be-
ing overwhelmed by the products of Japan
csc factories made upon silver basis.
All well-informed people knew at the
time that the japanese government regarded
the silver standard as burden, instead of a
benefit, in the competitive race with the
other commercial nations of the world. Re-
Gently that government has determined to
change to the gold basis and to value silver
in all future coinage at its commercial ratio
of 80 to 1. The japanese yeDs, or silver
dollars, heretofore coined at a ratio of 16 to
1, are all to be called in, melted up and re.
coined for subsidiary currency. Japan will
hereafter be honest in its money. 1t will
not pretend that half dollor's worth of sill
yer is worth dollar in gold.
Mexico, which was also cited as country
where business flourished because of free
coinage of silver, will get upon gold basis
just as soon as this can be accomplished
A statement to this effect was made some
months ago by President Daz.
