Mr.. George G. Perkins is uneasy be-
cause of the competition of Japan and
gives his reasons in The Overland
Monthly.
Japan has an unlimited supply of
cheap coal and cheap labor 1t has al
ready demonstrated it's ability to COM
pete with Europe and America by in
vading the home markets of those coun-
tries. 1t has the best machinery which
the world has up to this time produced
and can manufacture as much more as
1t needs. The initiative faculty of the
race Is unquestoned and untiyaled, and
It's originality is becoming acknowl-
edged. 1t recognizes such educational
defects as II possesses and with charac-
terlstlc energy and conscientiousness is
setting about to gain such knowledge as
is necessary TO bring its people to the
highest state of industrial efficiency.
Chemistry was formerly practically an
unknown science i'll Japan. Now the
Japanese export chemicals to America.
Physics and mathematics will be studied
with similar practical results, and most
Americans now living will undoubtedly
see Japan with modern civilization,
as far as its industries are concerned,
but with people still Japanese in char
aoter and tastes, who manufacture goods
for foreign markets, as do the English.
and who no more desire to supply their
needs with English, French or American
productions than we do to supply ours
with those of China, Japan or India

And knowing well that at such a mo-

ness enough to change their elevation,

under the arch of their shot, reserved
my fire, every gun being loaded with
two and some with three round shot

such effect that a second breath could
not be drawn before her main and miz

off side of the Goliath, we anchored by
the stern exactly i'll line with her and
abreast the Spartiate. We bad not beer
