severe enough to leave a lasting mark

Japnnese cutlery com,r,.

American cutlery is quite likely to
meet active competition in our home
market from japanese cutlery before
many moons have passed over lis. The
Japanese are very expert cutters, and
are already able to supply their own
market with z and other articles
of cutlery made both in native and for
eign styles. Having progressed thus
far in the cutlery industry. 1t will not
be long before they improve their man
ufactures and export their cutlery to
other countries. This fact should be-
considered in framing the new tariff.

h Washinrton wav.


Washington once said: ..There is no
doubt of the wisdom of the policy of
giving protection and encouragement
in any proper legislative form to do
nestle industry" And yet these latter
day free.traders, who have assumed to
possess exhaustive knowledge of every.
thing in heaven above and in the earth
beneath, have even dared to say that
the protective tariff was not constitu-
tional. 1t is too bad that they were
not present to give Washington a few
tips on the correct Interpretation Of the
Constitution. The ordinary American
citizen, however, Is content to accent
Washington's Interpretation of the Con-
stitution with the Interpretation of
those Otherstatesmen who helped frame
the Constitution, and who, fresh from
that work, introduced and passed the
first protective tariff law ever enacted
in this country, and to which washing
ton put his signature.

japan Goes Back ON the Free s~ilverites
The silverites have been compelled
to abandon another position. They de-
MED the published assertion that Ja-
pan had abandoned the silver and gone
to the gold standard, saying that the
report was based upon the mere fact
that a measure of this kind had been
introduced in the Japanese parliament.
The latest advices show, however, that
the proposition establishing the gold
standard has passed both branches Of
the parliament and has probably by
this time received the signature Of the
Emperor. Nothing which has occurred
since the 9th of November has been
so serious a blow to the 10 to 1 theor-
lists as this action Of Japan. The an-
nouncement from Japan that that coun-
try. although going to u gold standard,
will not sell any Of Its silver, creates
no surprise among those who have
watched the progress of events with
reference to the use of silver through
out the world. The United States, for
instance, has many times the quantity
of silver currency as when she adopted
the gold standard, and gold standard
nations are increasing the quantity of
their silver constantly and with rapid
ity. The coinage of silver runs from
ITO to 100 million dollars per annum
steadily. and a large share Of it by the
gold standard nations of the world. The
silver currency of the world is today
vastly greater than it was twenty-five
years ago, and the leading nations of
the world who have adopted the gold
standard are the ones who have in.
creased the silver currency.
