SOME PARADoxEs.
Chinese and Japanese Qualities Set
Side-by-side in Comparison.

A writer in the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune met a friend recently
who had some thing to say of interest
concerning the Chinese and Japanese
which show in new light some of
the pecularities of those interesting
people.
Il have just returned from my fifth
visit to Japan. l am engaged in the
machinery and speciality line. / have
visited China as often as Japan, and
the difference between the two people
is very striking, but the singular thing
about it is that the good qualities the
Chinese possess are by very many
persons in this country and in Eng
land attributed to the Japanese. The
! latter are the more progressive peo-
pie; willing and even anxious to adopt
American and English ideas in bust
| ness and governmental matters, but
they are not good merchants by any
means. The Japanese lack the sense
of integrity and mercantile honor that
distinguishes the Chinese merchants,
and without which no man can hope
| to be successful The Chinese are q
conservative people. Slow to give up
their old Time customs, tney hold fast
to a sterling integrity in all things
pertaining to trade and commerce.
The reason, perhaps for the lack Of
! integrity in mercantile affairs on the
part Of the Japanese may be traced to
the fact that, until recently, the mer-
chants of Japan were Of the lowest
classes Mercantile occupation was
looked down upon by the agricultural
classes, which furnished the aristoc-
racy, On the other hand, in China the
merchant has always been honored,
and he is taught to hold his word
sacred in monetary affairs. When he
enters a store to become merchant
he is impressed with the fact that his
credit and good name are worth more
to him than money and he will sell
and sacrifice everything that he has
rather than allow settling day to pass
without a clean balancing sheet.
Il know firm with an establish
ment in Yckohcma, Japan. and
branch in Kobio. They will not sell
japanese merchant bill without a
cash payment, but they will sell their
goods to a Chinese merchant freely on
time. A singular fact in connection
with this question Of integrity is that
the word of a Chinese diplomat is
simply rotten, whereas the word of
Japanese diplomat is held sacred
Jaran is prospecting, but not nearly so
materially as China. When Japan got
that big war idemnity in turned the
heads of the nation, and the people
went too fast and too far in enter
prises OF all sorts. The inevitable re-
action has come. Ii Japan gets
through the present crisis she will be
all right. AS for China, she is a great
big weakling without an army or
navy, and it is only question of time
when she will be dismembered and
partitioned among the powers of
EurOpe.'

IMPERIALISM.

Most of the troubles that worry
mankind are those that are antici-
pated, and which are never encount-
cred in reality. Imperialism is one
that is haunting the timid man now.
He has cipheret ont theory which
leads him to believe that if we hold
territory beyond the boundary of the
United States we become possessed of
colonies which will be governed by
a strong central government at Wash
ington in which the colonists will
have no voice, and that ultimately
the same condition will prevail in the
States; that the citizen will lose his
right of government and all will be-
come slaves to an imperial power, In
the dav when Christian, the Pilgrim
was making his celebrated journey,
lie found lion in the way, and was
troubled greatly. But he pursued his
course, and later discovered that the
beast was chained.

America could not annex any nation

administering it. The reason imper-
ialism is not to be feared in this

COUNTERFEIT SILVER DOLLARS

The Great umbe in Circulation Becom-
ing a Very Serious Matter.
DENVER, March 14.-During the past
two weeks the attention Of the business
men of the city has been attracted to
the unusually large number of counter.
felt silver dollars made of silver that
are in circulation. The counterfeits
are such remarkably close limitations Of
the genuine coin that it is almost im.
possible to detect them, and even gov.
eminent experts are frequently at a
loss to choose between the false and
the true. 1t is thought that the situa.
ton is sc serious that the treasury has
made it the subject Of a communica.
ton to congress, regarding the pro-
priety of adopting a new device for the
coin. 1t is estimated that there are
fully 81, OOO, 600 worth Of these spurious
coins in circulation in the country.

THE EAST COMPLAINING.

Most Favorable Trade Reports Come from
the West, south and Northwest.
New YORK, March ii. -Bradstreets
says: Continued activity III nearly all
lines Of distributive trade, but more
particularly at the larger cities of the
West, South and the far Northwest,
continues to be the most favorable
feature coming under notice. That the
demand for dry goods, groceries, hard
ware, iron and steel and it's various
forms and building material is rela-
lively most active in the West, seems
evident from the slight tone Of disap-
pointment in reports from leading
Eastern markets. Other favorable fea.
lures include the heavier foreign de.
mand for wheat and -four and bank
clearings heavily exceeding correspond.
ing periods Of previous years. Less
favorable features are few, numbering
chiefly a weaker tone in prices of q few
staples hitherto marked by extreme
firmnesS.
