Lord Nelson, who commanded at the

was aggressive to the uttermost, but
cautious when occasion required.

The new currency law of Japan
went into effect the first of October.
and the consul of that country in
New York has received advices from
his government as follows: "In the
week following October 1st the ap-
plications for gold currency in
change for silver yen amounted to
only $95O,oOO, equal to abou. the
same amount in United States dol
lars. The money market in the cap
ital is quiet. An imperial decree
has been issued prohibiting the cir
culation of silver yen after April,
1898. The adoption of the gold
standard in Japan has caused an un-
easiness to the general situation and
shows that Japan refuses to be
classed among those nations who
seek an unstable currency system.

TUESDAY nCTOBER 2e. 1897
OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The September returns of our for
eign commerce were remarkable.
The total merchandise exports for
the month were valued at $104 ,691,-
900, compared with $85,131 900 the
same period last year. Our imports
in September amounted to only $42,-
100000 against s5O,855, 1000 year
ago. These figures meant a favora-
bic trade balance for the month of
$62, ,281 900, or nearly double that
of 1906, when the excess of mer-
chandise exports amounted to $34,-
276,O0O. This is a phenomenal ex-
hibit. How long it will continue, or
whether it has reached its height or
not, is impossible to determine. Our
exports have been swelled by short
crops elsewhere and the consequent
foreign demand for our grain and
other food products, the higher
prices for wheat also being an i'm
portant factor in the increase.
AS the outward movement of grain
is likely to continue heavy for some
time to come and cotton must soon
move outward more freely, the out
look is for continued large merchan-
disc exports, especially as our ex-
ports of manufactures show no signs
of diminution in spite of trade i'm
provement here. Imports were of
course much reduced by the antlci-
patory arrivals preceding the tariff.
As these are worked off and as
home trade improves, our purchases
of foreign goods are likely to revive.
Just at present, however, we are
chiefly concerned regarding the effect
of such an unusually unfavora BILE
balance uron the foreign exchanges.
The situation warrants large gold
imports, much larger than year ago
when Europe was practically a bor-
rover in the United States. The
Bank of England's stock of gold has,
however, been so much reduced that
efforts will undoubtedly be made to
prevent any large flow in this direc-
ton; so that Europe will again be
obliged to defer settlements for a
period and be an even larger bcr-
rover of us than last year. The i'm
ports and exports of merchandise,
silver and gold for the last three
months were as follows:
Exports . $279, OPS, 900 $252, ,Iss, 900
Imports 49,. 155,028,0OO 1875, ,639, ,OOC

WE'RE EXTRAVAGANZA.

Report Of tho Iowa House COMMITTEES In.
vestiEatins State Otici.ls.
Dies MONIES, April l5.-The house
committee to investigate state officers
which has been working since Feb. s,
and subpoenaed hundreds Of witnesses,
has reported to the house. The com.
mittee finds much extravagance in
state officers in the employment Of
clerks and capitol janitors, both
in number aud salaries paid.
The report charges extravaganza BY
the executive council and recommends
its power to spend money be curtailed.
Supplies have not been accurately &C.
counted for, and reform is demanded
in this respect The number Of com.
mittee clerks should be reduced. The
state census cost the state over $l28, 900
and is very unreliable. Clerks were
paid so per cent too much, and some,
according to the report, were made to
contribute to Mcfarland, then secre.
tary of state, to hold their jobs. The
state printer is freed from the charge
of padding census reports. Charges
are mainly against the system, not
against individuals, who are said to
have followed the letter Of the law.
