The chief reason for the annexation Of
the Hawaiian Islands Is found in the fact
that 81 per cent Of their trade is with the
United States. For the year ending June
80, 1896. we imported SlI,S3G.7s5 worth Of
sugar from there. or more than half az
much as We imported from Cuba in the
same year. In return, we supply Hawaii
with groceries. provisions. grain. timber
machinery. hardware and what clothing
is needed in its salubrious climate IN
population the islands have been rapidly
changing from Maori 10 Mongollan. Ac-
cording 10 the latest census there were

and 1871 Portuguese leaving only S3J2 to
be divided among Americans, English,
Germans, Norwegians and other foreign
ers Of whom less than 1000, or about two
per cent Of the whole, were Americans.
The japanese and Chinese have been
increasing rapidly. and it is to the at
tempt to restrict or prohibit their coming
that we owe the present agitation for
annexation to the United States With the
Hawaiians it is annexation to the United
States, accepting British sovereignty or
complete submersion under the tide OF
Japanese immigration. The three stand
in the order of preference, alternative
and necessity.

JAPAN's GOLD STANDARD.

Among the party OF Japanese accom-
panying Marquis Ito through this country
on his way TO represent Japan at the
queens jubilee was Mr. MochizuEd. the ed-
itor Of the leading commercial journal OF
Japan He was interviewed in New York
on the japanese currency question, and
gave the following interesting statement;
Japan. as you are probably aware. can
row be called gold-standard country.
The law was passed last April by both
houses OF parliament. and goes into effect
next October. The law has fixed the ratio
Between the metals at 4 to / and stopped
free coinage. 1t compels the government
to withdraw all silver yen. which CORES
ponds 10 your dollar. on August l. Silver
viii only be used for subsidiary coin. OF
which the 5o-oent piece win be the high
est in value Five. ten and twenty yen
pieces win be made Of gold
The arguments advanced by the gold
men were multitudinous. but the principal
one was that Japan, having adopted
western civilization, must TO protect her
commercial interests also adopt the uni
yersaily recognized standard Of gold which
they declared had a fixed value. while sil-
yer was continually fuctuating.
They admitted that up to the present
time all Japanese industries had been de-
.s.ior,aa 49, ~. -.h..,r,,.... - .ft,..- -,
that such development had reached its
maximum. and If the country didn't
change to gold basis it would soon find
itself behind in the race.
The opposition advanced about the same
arguments as were used here. They held
that no authority could say that the value
OF gold was fixed. while that OF silver was
flexible They declared this was a fallacy
that people had fallen into it only because
gold seemed less changeable than silver.
Being a young and small power whose
prima facie market was in the far east.
Japan could not compete with gold coun-
tries. but II she stuck to silver she could
develop that market among her silver
standard neighbors.
Marquis Ito appointed committee Of
currency to consider the question. Tie
committee reported that the time was not
ripe for Japan to change her standard.
They were divided IN their conclusions as
to the best standard. But a majority Of
both houses passed the bill
There are two points in the japanese
discussion which are Of the highest i'm
portance 10 Us in the United States. They
are quite as pertinent to the controversy
here as TO that in Japan. The first Of
these is the danger and loss which is in
evitabIe through the fuctuating value of
silver. It is this which makes the silver
standard a constant source of loss to
working men and farmers. The next is
the fact that naticn which has to com
pete with gold standard nations mus.
have the gold standard itself, If it expects
to be successful in that competition.

WASHINGTON OFFICE, t42i F Street.

Scarcely more than one hundred men, in
the total of their daily transactions, are
now responsible for the superficial fluc-
tuatioas OF the New York security mark ct.
Their nanoeuvres on the surface create the
waves OF the market. Some OF them are
men whose resources have been exhausted
by long period of stagnation in business.
Some of them have been bold men in their
time. Nearly all of them are now without
much money or much courage. As conse-
quence, they are too feeble to stand up
against the most unreasonable rumor. This
explains the superficial weakness OF the
market in the face of every freak OF imag-
ination Under a very thin surface the
market is strong, imperturbable and un-
yielding. Meanwhile the evils, which have
beset Wall street, and which have ex-
perienced abnormal development during this
period of depression, are now being eradi-
Gated, and securities are also being ex-
tricated from the influences of a miserable
business period. These conditions pre-
sent the most substantial basis for the
renewal of investments on the part OF the
public Those investors who realize that
the absence of general buying has left Sc
curities at a lower range of quotations
than improving conditions justify, and who
make their purchases before the general
public becomes buyer, will place them
selves in a position wherein they will
become the direct recipients OF return
ing period OF prosperity. With the present
outlook in the Northwest territory, the
St Paul and Northwest shares are selling
low to a point of absurlity. New York
Central is worth ten to fifteen dollars a
share more than present quotations, and
Manhattan presents a remarkable oppor-
tunity for investors TO place their reliance
upon the growth of New York city. Let
that corporation adopt electricity, aid
Danish cinders and smoke, and It's

FRANCIS ID. CARLEY,

The times., 1897-05-16

The statement of the foreign trade of the
United States issued yesterday ny the
Treasury Department shows that the inn
ports OF merchandise for April reached
the total of S101, ,305, ,131. Although the
exports for the month were fairly large,
being over Sc, 900 900 larger than during
the same month of last year, the net le-
suit is an excess of imports over exports
OF S23, ,579, ,431, as against an exec of
imports last year OF nearly S12 .5oO,00n.
1t is, of course, well understood that the
extraordinary showing for last month was
due almost entirely to the present tariff
discussion in Congress, and the possibility
that the new revenue measure might he
made retroactive. The returns of the New
York custom house for the week would seem
to Indicate that the abnormal import move
nent had dculminatedfor the value of foreign
products received this week was SIS, ,323,-
$50 less than last week. Expressed in
other terms, the falling off was more than
one-third.
1t is also interesting to note that the
exports for the week Were 81 ,54O,2 ,266
larger than for the previous week. 1t
is possible that these two changes fore
shadow another radical change In the
foreign trade movement OF the country.
Tine weekly statement OF averages of the
associated banks shows that, in spite of the
withdrawal OF over $4,000 of legal
tenders to obtain gold for export, the
banks have gained, chiefly in specie, 1857
600. This means that something over
three and half millions in la wful money
have been received from the interior.
On the stock exchange, as throughout
the previous part of the week, the deal
ings were light, and in the main the result
of professional ventures 1t is now plain
that the timeis near a { hand when both the
Administration and Congress are likely to
take definite action regarding the condi-
ton of affairs in Cuba, and this has over
shadowed all other considerations AS
the possibility Of foreign complications has
Invariably depressed the stock market
heretofore, it is entirely natural for specu-
lative holders to reduce their lines, and for
operators for short account to increase
them in a situation like the present one.
This accounts for lower prices on the stock
exchange today and in the main for the net
results of the week.
Outside of Wall street, business is still
held in check by the tariff debate, and the
possibility that it may be continued well
