After -Four Years of Investigation,

On March / it. was cabled from Yoke

the gold standard al a ratio of - 10

SION in October.
This act, ON top Of many previous
ones, moves Japan completely out Of
the ranks OF the scmi-ciNilizcd and into
those OF civilized and progressive ma
tons. IL was not taken hastily, but
after two years consideration Of an
exhaustive report made 10y tine Japanese
currency commission appointed in
1898.
This commission found that, while
certain capitalists. especially those enr
ployug many laborcrs. were benefited
by the falling silver standard the wage
earners were injured from the fact that
their wages did not rise as fast as did
The prices of what they had to buy. The
report pointed out what every rational
trader ought 10 know-that a silver
standard country can trade and com
Ietc with gold standard countries only
after paying the loss on exchange in
foreign trade. However as the greater
part Of JaTau's trade was with China
and India, the two countries Of Asia
still using the silver standard. the dis
advantage on this account was not con-
sidcrcd great.
The sikeritcs have lost with Japan
some OF their best capital. OF course
they will tell as how British gold"
was used TO brjbe the government into
bctraying its people into the hands of
the money power. They cannot, how
ever, much longer tell MS that we are
unable TO compete with Japan because
she uses the silver standard.
The truth is that Japan got tired Of
being second rate nation and Of work.
ing with second rate tools, and, after
careful Investigation, concluded to get
rid of free coinage az ordinary ratios,
which drives gold out of the country ~
fast as it can ic coined and which re-
suits in the single silver standard. and
TO adopt the gold standard al Il ratio
with silver which VIII permit the use OF
both metals ina her trade. 1t is a wise
step. Japan is only one OF four or five
nntiouS which have adopted the gold
