The two methods chiefly advocated
for affording the desired protection to
American shipping are by providing
discriminating duties, otherwise a spe-
cial tariff tax on goods imported i'm other
than American bottoms. and the bounty
or subsidy on goods exported in Ameri-
can ships. The latter feature Is par
ticularly simple, and besides there is
great deal Of experience available for
putting It into operation. A small
bounty per ton for all goods sent across
the seas i'm American ships would evil
IDENTIFY encourage our languishing mer-
chant marine while the country would
get the money back and a great deal
more in the value of the cargoes re-
turned and the amount of trade and
commerce in other seas that American
enterprise thus stimulated would de-
Velop.

BROKE HIS BONES ON AUG. %.
Remarkable Series of Accidents to an
English Collier.

AS might naturally be expected from
his hazardous occupation, the collier is
frequently injured by accidents under
ground. But the following particulars
deserve, l think. a space in the Lancet
because of the strange series of frac
lures sustained by the man, as well as
the remarkable coincidence i'm the date
of their occurrence.
A man, aged A years. short and we'll
built. was first attended by me on Aug.
26. 1890, for compound fracture of
the left leg. resulting from a portion. of
the roof or top falling and striking him
while following his employment in Ris-
ca collieries. The patient made an un-
interrupted recovery and was able in
about six months To resume his work
underground.
The patients previous history. told
by himself and corroborated by others.
s very remarkable With the exception
of an attack of typhoid fever which he
had when Is years OF age, and two or
three attacks of quincy subsequently,
he had not suffered bodily in any way.
He was always very temperate and for
about eighteen years a total abstainer
But his misfortunes In the mine were
many and are remarkable from the
Idtt lHdt tHey All 'ndpDtneu OH the Zotn
day of August. Here is his record: At
the age Of 10 years he fractured his
right index finger. 1t happened on Aug
26. When 13 years old he fractured his
left leg below the knee through falling
from horseback also on Aug. 26. When
IA years Of age he fractured both bones
of the left forearm by stumbling, his
arm striking the edge Of brick. Aug.
o. In another year, on Aug. 26. when
10 years OF age. he had a compound
fracture of the left leg above the ankle.
his foot being caught under an iron rod
and his body falling forward Next year
again on the same date. Aug. 26, he had
compound fracture of both legs, the
right being so severely crushed that il
had to be amputated at the lower third
of the thigh. This was caused by a
horse. hitched to q tram OF coal, which
running wild underground. caught him
in a narrow passage. crushing both
legs severely. After this he did not
work on Aug. 26 for twenty-eight years
and little wonder. but in the year 1880
he forgot his fateful day and went to
work. with the result that he sustained
the compound fracture which I have
mentioned in the beginning. After this
he has studiously avoided working on
Aug. 20 though never missing work at
other times.-Lancet.

The collapse Of the Tradesman's Ma

sizes the fizzle of New Yorks wool ex-
change which was widely doomed by
the press Of the metropolis who fore
saw the downfall Of Boston as the wool

exchange promoters and the Trades
mans bank people appear TO have been
so intimate that the former could bor-
row all the money they wanted of the
latter without much security. When
the wool exchange fizzled. down went

also a reminder TO make us glad that
the finances Of the country do not de-
pend upon the national banks but upon
the government. The government has
never defaulted an obligation and the
occasional bank failure is every time a
blow to the promoters OF the plan TO
take the government out of the bank

al finances to the 1900 or so private
banking institutions all over the land.

The steady and rapid growth of our
commerce with the Orient is illustrated
by statement just received by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics showing
the imports and exports of Japan dur
ing the first half of the present calen-
dar year. This shows that Japan's pur-
chases from the United States continue
to increase with great rapidity. while
I'm many cases those which she has been
accustomed to make from other parts
OF the world are being reduced. Her
importations OF raw cotton from the
United States in the first six months Of
1898 were 12,7S2,06 yen in value against
S,Sll.S2S yen in the corresponding
months of the preceding year. the guam
tity being given i'm the six months of
1898 at 6597l6 piculs. against 1s4,025 pi-
culs In the corresponding months of
last year. the picul being equivalent to
l3S pounds. On the other hand, the
importation of cotton from British In
dia. whence most of the co,ton for ia
pan had formerly been drawn. fell from
1881 plculs to 697,047. The total im-
portations OF cotton into Japan i'm the
half year amounted to 27.702, 96a yen in
value, an increase of little over four
million yen over the corresponding
months of 1897 while the increase from
the United States alone was nearly nine
million yen, showing a general reduc-
tion from other parts OF the world. while
the imports from the United States
were more than trebed. Our manufac-
lures of iron and steel seem to be es-
pecially satisfactory to the Japanese.
the increase In nearly all articles of
this class being strongly marked as is
that of the finer grades of American
