FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED.
Japan In I'm the Golden Clutches OF
the RothschfIds

The dispatch, which we publish be-
low. OF the news brought by the steam
er Tacoma from Japan shows with what
rapidity that ambitious empire is going
to the dogs. 1t was proposed TO coin
W'ooO,OOo OF gold yens his year, but
the finance minister finds that they are
only able to coin 100000 yens. The
government is compelled to increase
the land tax. or course il must. he
cause the revenues Of the country have
been reduced equally with the business
OF the country by adopting the gold
standard. India had no difficulty in
paying sO,000.000 of gold interest in
London until she dcmonetized silver in
1893. since which time she has been o.
ing with great rapidity TO what the
boys call the "demnition bow vows -
anu borrowing money every wear to
defray her ordinary expenses.
few weeks ago we were informed
that Japan's revenues were $4,000 600
yens short this year This was an I'M
derestinlate. 1t appears by the dis
patch published below that the govern
ment il compelled to borrow 45 .OOo. 600
yens. At this rate of speed Japan will.
IN very short time, be in n banlirupt
CONDITION similar to that of PORTUGAL.

Remarkable Admission Made by an
cold MonnmrtnIIisf

RcmarISaibIc Admission Made Inv nm
Gold MonomctniIist.
The 3imetallist, of London. publishes
an abstract of the report of the roval
agricultural commission, which shows
hat this document is even more dis
hnctively triumph for bimetallism
than earlier accounts Indicated Ten
OF the II commissioners who signed
what Is called the main report" Join in
supplementary report" declaring that
bimetallism is the one practical remedy
Tor the depression of agriculture. All
the commissioners had agreed that the
chief cause of the existing depression is
the progressive and serious decline in
the prices of farm produce" The ten
commissioners who sign the supple
mcntary report" take this proposition
is the basis of their argument, and URGE
that. since the fall in prices is due to
The appreciation of gold, and he aDDre-
clatlon of gold is due to the dcmonetiza-
ton of silver, thereto fore the English coy
eminent should combine with foreion
powers to effect the reconciliation of
silver. What is even more to the satis-
faction of bimetallists is the fact that
Sir Robert Giffen. the extreme mono
metallist upon the commission. agrees
with ms colleagues that the fall in
prices is due TO the appreciation of gold.
with regard to the contention of David
y. Wells and many other monometoI-
lists that the decline in the price of
wheat from 1873 to 1896 has been due TO
the increase in the supply, Mr.. Giffen
recognizes the validity of the official
ct a lett
iy, the figures clearly suggest that the
decline in wheat during the last 20 years
is not due to any great growth of pro-
duction in excess of the growth of the
consuming population. The facts are
rather the other way; the growth of the
acreage under wheat has Jagged behind
the growth of population" He adds:
1T is great misfortune. I consider. that
some monometallists refuse to recognize
the general fall of prices in the last QUAR-
ter or century as being, in economic lam
SudSe' an appreciation OF gold, and as be-
Ing explained by a contraction of gold (as
compared with a previous period OF ex-
pansion), which commenced about the Yea r
1913 Inc facts are all beyond dispute The
cruX OF the question is, that whereas for
20 years before 1873, owing to the state or
the gold supply and demand, the progress
OF invention. cheapening of means of COM
munication. and the like influences were at
tended by no general fan Of prices. but
prices rather advanced. now, owing to the
difference in the conditions of gold supply
ana demand, the progress of invention
cheapcnlnG OF means of communication
and the like influences. have been accom-
panied by fall Of prices"
To Mr.. Giffen, as to bimetallists. it is
self-cvident that if the supply of money
had increased as rapidly after 1873.
there would have been no fall in prices.
Mr. Giifcn further admits that bimetal-
lsm would result in Il general rise in
prices, bat refuses to accept the belief
OF his ten bimetallist colleagues that
this general rise in prices would help
